Democratic politicians cling to the line that Joe Biden is fit for the job of president.

On Friday, she stuck to a pre-planned “Fired Up for Tammy” campaign tour of northern Wisconsin.

They don’t want to be scooped by them. They don’t want to follow them. But by refusing to recognize a story for a story, they are proving the bias they reject.

The other side of his debate with Joe Biden.

We are launching the bipartisan Democracy Defense Project to help restore trust in our election system. We come from different political parties and have different political ideologies, but we share one common goal; promoting fair elections in Wisconsin.

While we obsess over the horse race and the latest polls, rubbernecking at the tragic disintegration of an accomplished, public-spirited president, the plot to overthrow American democracy and replace it with a violent, repressive, despotic regime is well underway.

On this 4th of July, I will celebrate the American idea. The America of the future; the America we have yet to become. It won’t be a day off, but a day “on”.

Vote and stay engaged.

America the Beautiful still shines, it still shines, a beacon of hope for individual liberty for all in the world.

This July Fourth weekend is not best suited to specific foreign policy discussion but is particularly appropriate for celebrating and honoring veterans.

It does not matter if we walk into our local firehouse or community center on our own two legs to vote, or are driven to a drop box and aided in ensuring a ballot is delivered. Praise should be given to those municipalities that take pride in ensuring voters have every opportunity to make their voices heard via a ballot.

Not being on stage with the president in her home state is a dismal display of the sorrowful state of our politics.

James Zogby, who has served on the Democratic National Committee for decades, says that if Biden stands down, the DNC can establish a transparent, fair process to choose its nominee.

Who do the Dems replace him with?

Let’s just say for the sake of argument (and my sanity) that Joe Biden does the right thing, or is forced to do the right thing, and steps aside. Who replaces him? If it’s Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom we might as well stick with Joe.

Going into the 2012 debate, Ryan at age 42 looked to me like the future of Republican politics. … But the bombast and ridicule Biden inflicted on Ryan in the 2012 debate was a foretaste of the bombast and ridicule former President Donald Trump inflicted on multiple rivals in presidential primary debates in 2016 — and which he inflicted on the (to many voters) surprisingly inert Biden last week.

Nearly 13 years before the Supreme Court conferred absolute immunity on official presidential acts and set off hysterically apocalyptic predictions from the political left, President Obama did the very thing that they have convinced themselves that Trump will now be allowed to do.

The court took up the case now because it is five months from the election. Holding the hearings and filing the briefs will help fills some news cycles about this issue leading up until the election. It will keep it top of mind and keep people from thinking about inflation, illegal immigration, high taxes, corruption, and all of the other issues that more directly impact their everyday lives.

Divisions continued to plague court calendar.

The absence today of political interest in controlling health costs in Wisconsin, given our antitrust history, is puzzling. Neither Democrat Gov. Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul, nor GOP legislative leaders, have taken up the cause for consumers.
