Trump v. Biden 06-27-24 was a debacle. A blot on history. A stain upon the Republic. A national 9-1-1. Neither of these two … individuals … should be anywhere near the presidency.
What will it take to get Joe Biden to step aside? Probably bad polling numbers. Really bad polling numbers. Right now Biden, his family, his campaign and the leadership of the Democratic Party are all rallying around him. Whistling past the graveyard seems like a weak analogy.
The media and Democrats are in complete freak-out mode after Biden’s epic debate disaster Thursday night; talk is raging about how to get him off the ticket.
Through our labor union, the TAA, graduate workers have asked for regular meetings with Mnookin in what is known as a “Meet and Confer” relationship. These meetings would allow graduate workers to share their experiences and concerns with administration. Productive negotiation would follow. One such concern is divestment.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss whether Gov. Tony Evers deserves the credit for recently announced major economic development projects. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
No matter what one thinks about how the debate impacts the election, it cannot be overstated how the world just saw that the United States is rudderless without a captain at the helm right now.
People wonder if he’s up to the job at even a basic level. Last night’s answer was a resounding, “No!” This raises questions not only of his competence but of those around him.
As much as the debate worried Democrats and progressives, who watched a glib, invigorated Trump appear to chew up a wan-looking Biden, that impression was made much, much worse by a journalistic outlet that let Trump lie and get away with it.
Every time Trump had the time to talk, he told fabulous lies. Biden did not look strong or in command of the debate at any time.
If former President Donald Trump wins in Wisconsin, he will win the presidency.
My favorite weekly news digest, The Week, recently published a round-up of how other countries see the U.S. now that it has a felon running for president. It’s not pretty.
This fall’s elections matter. A lot. But they’ll solve nothing. About the best we can hope is they don’t make matters worse.
When noncitizens are allowed to vote in our elections, it dilutes the votes of American citizens; it creates election chaos and confusion; it threatens national security by allowing foreign adversaries to manipulate our elections; and finally, it targets a vulnerable group of individuals whose lives may be upended by unwittingly voting in violation of federal law.
Dave Zweifel’s recent column on school choice had the correct headline: “Wisconsin’s voucher program looks nothing like the original.” But he was wrong to say it’s harming the school system. The voucher program is actually helping students. And parents are noticing the benefits, too.
Back on the table in a seemingly major way is nuclear energy, in part because technology around small-module reactors has improved but also because Congress has overwhelmingly passed legislation to overhaul parts of the approval process for such power plants.
There’s a new Marquette Law School poll out. Let’s dive in.
Higher pay and city-wide elections on high-turnout election days would strengthen board.
Crisis points to potential problems with school system’s financial oversight.
In a recent turn of events, Superintendent Keith Posley’s resignation from Milwaukee Public Schools has brought to light a critical issue plaguing not just the district, but communities of color and underserved BIPOC students across the nation: the lack of accountability and the consequences of entrusting too much power to a single individual.
We need a new direction at our Department of Public Instruction. We need professionals less worried about the word salad used to mask challenges, and more concerned with transparency and accountability. We’re currently “below basic.” No new fancy words needed.
