Liberals and their media allies continue to peddle outrageous claims, no matter how absurd they sound. But if the last week showcased the left’s best arguments against conservative control of Washington, we’ll be in good shape for the next few years.
In a recent op-ed headlined “Trump’s neofascism is here now. Here are 10 things you can do to resist,” Robert Reich offers steps people can take to push back.
Not only is it a medical matter that demands our humanitarian resolve, but it is also an economic matter for many nations that have seen huge segments of their population die. Whole societies in some parts of Africa were changing dramatically in front of the world’s eyes.
As we mark the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Wisconsinites should be making our own reproductive health care decisions, not politicians.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers faced new political headwinds when he gave his seventh State of the State message last week.
Much closer results, far less gerrymandered despite increasing polarization.
As we celebrate School Choice Week, I think it’s important to recognize the significance of educational options available to all parents in Wisconsin, the birthplace of school choice.
Deregulation and ending all tax breaks and subsidies for renewable energies will level the playing field and allow the industry to thrive.
After Trump swore to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” he gave a pardon to about 1,600 January 6, 2021, insurrectionists, while commuting the prison sentences of 14 ringleaders. These thugs assaulted – injured more than 140 police officers and desecrated the U.S. Capitol.
Our path forward demands radical imagination, collective action, and an unwavering commitment to justice. We cannot afford complacency in the face of political regression.
Trump and King would have also disagreed on several of the president’s pardons, including the release of 1,500 people charged for taking part in the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump will see to it that the fact checkers will always have a job while he’s in office.
Milwaukee’s CBS 58 and Weigel Broadcasting fired the weather forecaster after conservative talk show host Dan O’Donnell exposed Instagram posts that she made unfairly criticizing Elon Musk for supposedly making a “Nazi” salute.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, analyze the race for state schools superintendent between incumbent Jill Underly, Sauk Prairie Superintendent Jeff Wright and Wauwatosa education consultant Brittany Kinser. The three are to face off in a Feb. 18 primary, with the general election set for April 1. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Wisconsin voters will on the same day this April choose a new state Supreme Court justice and also decide whether the state’s voter ID law will become part of the state Constitution — issues yoked by what almost certainly will happen in the months thereafter.
Evers today seems bothered by Underly’s latest attempt at covering up failures to make the educational bureaucracy look better. If he is sincere in his stated opposition to these changes, then he will sign a Republican bill undoing them.
Trump’s chief enabler is excited to rewrite the tax code.
There were those who felt insulted that the presidential inauguration was on the same day we celebrated King’s birthday. I viewed it as a clear reminder of a King quote: “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Let us be determined not to fear in the next four years and not to hate those responsible for the next four years.

President-elect Donald Trump has called tariffs “the most beautiful word in the dictionary,” even if many economists and some business leaders find it more akin to a vulgar term to be avoided in polite company.
