The Party of Executive Orders Now Complains About Executive Power? Spare Me.

If irony had a capital, it would be Pewaukee, Wisconsin, where Republican Rep. Adam Neylon just held a press conference to whine about Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers using administrative rules to, wait for it… govern.

“Wisconsin is in need of a regulatory reset,” Neylon declared, clutching his legislative pearls. “Instead of trying to find compromise with the Legislature, Gov. Evers wants to govern through administrative rule, regulating as much as he can, as fast as he can.”

Oh? Like Donald Trump, the man with the fewest bills passed and the most executive orders issued in modern history? The same Trump who’s currently dismantling environmental protections, gutting food safety rules, canceling health research, and deporting people without due process—not by law, but by edict? That guy?

Let’s get one thing straight:

Evers is using administrative rules to protect Wisconsinites. Trump is using them to torch the Constitution and loot the public trust.

Republicans say they’re worried about the rule of law. But when Trump signs executive orders like they’re menu items—each one eroding a little more freedom, privacy, and justice—they cheer. When Evers uses legally valid administrative tools to safeguard clean water, education, and labor rights? Suddenly, it’s tyranny.

This isn’t about process. It’s about power, and who gets to wield it. Republicans lost the governor’s office in Wisconsin. Now they’re trying to claw back authority not through democratic persuasion, but through legislative sabotage. And they’re using so-called research from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty—a Koch-funded legal workshop with a long history of trying to privatize everything that breathes.

The punchline? Republicans in Wisconsin don’t even have a supermajority. They can’t override Evers’ vetoes. So now they’re crying foul about a governor doing his job while their own party’s leader governs like a Twitter-happy dictator with a sharpie.

If you think for a second this is about preserving balance, I’ve got a Supreme Court seat to sell you. The truth is this:

Evers is protecting people. Trump is dismantling their protections.

One acts with restraint and purpose. The other throws executive orders around like darts at democracy. So don’t come to me with your feigned outrage about “regulatory overreach” while Trump rewrites the Constitution in crayon.

You don’t get to torch democracy and then whine when someone shows up with a hose full of accountability.

Gonzo Journalist, Reluctant Realist, Connoisseur of Chaos

Journalism’s Last Wild Card

In a world of press releases masquerading as news and algorithm-fed mediocrity, Justin Jest is the last outlaw of journalism—a writer who trades in truth, chaos, and the kind of gut-punch revelations that leave the reader dazed, enraged, and somehow hungover. Jest doesn’t just report the news; he detonates it, scattering the wreckage across the minds of his readers like shrapnel from a well-placed truth bomb.

A Degree in Madness, Earned the Hard Way

Jest’s education isn’t stitched on a diploma—it’s carved into the pavement of back alleys, campaign trails, and economic war zones. His Ph.D.? A lifetime spent navigating the absurd, the infuriating, and the outright dystopian. His alma mater? The School of Hard Knocks, where the syllabus is written in protest signs, corporate greed, and political hypocrisy.

Journalism, Unfiltered and Unhinged

While others craft palatable narratives for mass consumption, Jest serves up raw, undistilled reality. He doesn’t write; he rants, he howls, he exorcises the corruption and deceit infecting the system. His work is a fistfight between facts and power, and he never pulls his punches. If corporate news is a sedative, Jest is a Molotov cocktail lobbed through the newsroom window.

The Jest Doctrine: No Gods, No Masters, No Sugarcoating

In the arena of media sellouts and sanitized outrage, Jest is the defector, the insurgent, the voice that refuses to be bought or silenced. His stories are a baptism by fire for anyone still naïve enough to believe that truth and power can coexist peacefully. Every article is a mind-bending trip through the dystopian circus we call reality, narrated with the brutal honesty of someone who’s seen too much and refuses to look away.

Vital Stats:

Caffeine Intake: Beyond measurable limits; bloodstream classified as a hazardous material.

Life Mantra: "If you’re not pissing off the powerful, you’re not doing it right."

Unofficial Ban: Persona non grata in multiple institutions, including several boardrooms, press briefings, and at least one foreign embassy.

The Jest Experience: Read at Your Own Risk

Prepare yourself. This isn’t journalism for the faint of heart. Jest doesn’t hold your hand—he drags you kicking and screaming through the underbelly of power, money, and corruption. His words don’t just inform; they ignite. If you’re looking for comfort, close the tab. If you’re ready for the ride, buckle up.

This is Justin Jest, and this is the news before it’s been cleaned up for public consumption.
