Positions of county treasurer, clerk and register of deeds should be eliminated, not given raises.

The Civilian Police Oversight Board was created in 2020 following the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. It never made any sense because the Madison Police Department has long been among the most progressive anywhere and because there’s always been plenty of civilian oversight over it.

You would think that in a democracy majorities rule. You would be wrong. A relatively small band of right-wing Republicans in the House of Representatives is defying a big majority in both houses of Congress.

The same jurists who last week stalled Trump’s federal criminal trial on charges related to those efforts to overturn the election results on Monday reinterpreted the 14th Amendment in a way that assures that the former president will have no trouble getting on the ballot even in states where courts and election officials have determined that he disqualified himself with his insurrectionist agitation around Jan. 6, 2021.

Either no person is above the law, or the entire premise of our legal system is a myth. A battle is underway for the very foundations, the connecting fabric of our democracy.

The intractable partisan slant of most of our news media is as responsible for MAGA nation as anything. The point is, the mainstream media covered for Democrats, rather than objectively serving their readers.

The auto industry is not safe under Biden, our nation is not safe under Biden, and the world is not safe under Biden.
