U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden seized on the double murder of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were shot dead in their home, and the near-fatal shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, to mock Democrats and try to score political points.
The more mobs scream, the more Americans tune them out.
Democrats, partisan media and other critics of Trump are raising the spectre of diversion of our military from their proper constitutional roles, and even possible military dictatorship. That is an exaggeration, at least for the moment.
But part should be jettisoned, and we need to keep working toward flat tax.
At a time of missile launches in the Middle East, grinding war in Ukraine, political assassination in Minnesota and a potentially crushing national debt hanging over the economy, it’s a relief to visit a place where people gather for lunch, sing a patriotic song and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. All at the world’s biggest Culver’s restaurant, no less.
As Wisconsin lawmakers debate competing approaches to restricting foreign ownership of land, a new study finds similar bills elsewhere are more likely in states with Republican legislative majorities, military installations and more foreign-owned cropland.

Rebecca Bradley probably won’t run for re-election because things seem hopeless.
His stop and start on ICE raids affects restaurants, dairy industry, hotels and more.
Republicans might require able-bodied, childless adults to get a part-time job to qualify for Medicaid. They might also end a four-year-old Obamacare subsidy program. Not if Democrats have anything to say about it!
Hardly a day goes by that we don’t learn of another cruel and uncaring action by the Donald Trump administration.
I’m exhausted by attempts to pretend discrimination doesn’t exist in America.
The implementation of higher tariffs may cause some American manufactures to reconsider where they manufacture/outsource products and encourage them to bring some production back to the United States. Only time will tell.

The No Kings! protests drew millions into the streets of Milwaukee, Madison, Eau Claire, Waukesha, Kenosha, Wausau, Eagle River, Sturgeon Bay, Platteville and more than 2,100 other American cities and towns on the same day that the nation’s embattled president presided over a military parade in Washington.
