The conservatives are right about this one. NPR does in fact have a raging liberal bias — more so than it ever had — and taxpayers should not be forced to support it.

What led me to admire this soft-spoken prince of a man was his under-the-radar determination to give kids, especially those without a leg up, a boost in their young lives. It wasn’t necessarily in his job description, but it was something he decided was the right thing to do.

Tim Cullen set a strong example others should follow.

To remember Janesville native Tim Cullen is to remember what he did for his beloved Janesville and the state of Wisconsin.

Congress should revert to pre-pandemic spending, adjusted for population growth and inflation.

Another big Wisconsin Supreme Court race, a new police chief for Madison, and city council elections.

Nobody had a bigger impact on our state than Donald Trump.

Regardless of what happens in 2025, it’s Wisconsin, so you know it won’t be boring.

With the new year, shock and indignation that the nation could elect Donald Trump — the cause of the Jan. 6 insurrection — for a second time probably has morphed for many into more nuanced emotions.

In reflecting upon the past year in Wisconsin conservative politics, I’m so grateful that sound judgment, wisdom and reasoning prevailed in the 2024 elections in Wisconsin, that I’m nominating common sense as one of the winners.

For those on the right side of the political aisle, 2024 was a mixed bag.

Many Wisconsinites want the same things – quality education for our children, safe neighborhoods, responsible spending of our tax dollars, affordable healthcare and accountability in government.

Beware a barrage of constitutional amendments posed by parties.
