This former Republican member of Congress who represented my boyhood district around Rockford, Illinois., and whom I first met in a 2021 interview, told the big national audience that not only is Trump unfit to be president again, but that Democrats are just as patriotic as Republicans and independents.
The Democratic National Convention was extraordinary. The Democratic Party emerged energetic, united and flush with funds and volunteers. The party is determined to fight for economic security, freedom, the Constitution and national security.
Dems remind nation of the joy of service.
Republicans will wonder how they could have let a winnable election slip through their fingers.
Former President Bill Clinton’s claim at the Democratic convention that since the end of the Cold War Democratic presidents had created 50 million jobs to the Republican presidents’ 1 million sent the fact checkers scurrying.
arris was born in 1964 in California, where her parents had met and married as graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley. Eventually, however, Harris would spend his a portion of her childhood in the city that was once known as “the Berkeley of the Midwest.”
Dear media, real pro-Trump Taylor Swift fans do exist.
Her words were stirring. Now Kamala Harris needs to back speech rhetoric with details.
I plan to amend the bill to explicitly state that nothing in the legislation should be construed to change or modify any existing treaty obligation.
Inflation is a very simple concept and yet almost everyone gets its wrong. This misunderstanding is the result of a concerted effort to confuse the public and prevent blame from being assigned to those responsible for its creation.
The women’s liberation movement had a bevy of female writers whose works created shifts in political and social circles alike. Here are five books by authors I found worthwhile.
“Renewable” power such as wind and solar might not use fuel, but they use a lot of land, and solar uses it exclusively.
My fear is that our current moment in immigration will flavor the kind of immigration reform we get. In the interest of compromise to get something – anything – done, reform will not be enough about the changes that make our policies humane and practical for the economy and immigrants, but about a show of strength that is better politics than policy.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss how recent primary results may impact the general election and legislative control. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Democrats are declaring the Biden administration’s first round of price caps on prescription drugs a victory for patients. But neither the price controls nor other drug provisions under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act are anything to celebrate.
Both parties had successful conventions. Only 80 miles apart on the shores of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee and Chicago, both even enjoyed the cool breezes and clear, blue skies of a Great Lakes summer.
In the critical contest to appeal to swing-state voters in the Upper Midwest, the Kamala Harris campaign could not have come up with a better running mate than Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz if they made one in a lab.
The radicals assembled in Chicago this week under the banner of joy and hope, but their rhetoric was filled with anger and hatred. Their actions and proposals, however, are far worse for the future of America.
Epic’s User Group Meeting annually offers a themed surprise for thousands of visitors, so it was no shock when founder Judy Faulkner appeared on stage Aug. 20 in the company’s Deep Space Auditorium dressed as “Lady Swan,” a variation on Mother Goose and in keeping with a larger story-telling motif.
