While other former presidents aimed to sit on corporate boards or slip off the stage quietly to paint, Carter embraced the world. Putting his faith forward, interlaced with a mighty keen mind he formed working coalitions and solutions which benefited the world.
As is its tradition, the Forecasters Anonymous tribe gathered once again between Christmas and New Year’s Day to sneak a few extra post-holiday calories, renew acquaintances and swap tall tales.
Sachin and I bridged all that divided us with curiosity, dialogue, understanding, mutual respect and good will.
Too many vital services are starved for cash.
Effective government begins with districts that reflect real communities, yet Wisconsin’s maps still fall short of this basic standard.
Carter secured the nomination and the presidency — with just enough votes from the farmers and smalltown people of Grant, Richland, Vernon and other Wisconsin counties that gave a last-minute Democratic primary assist to the peanut farmer from Georgia.
Carter was the first president to stress having a Cabinet, judges, and other government nominees that “looked like America.”
If Donald Trump pardons the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who heeded his call to “fight like hell or we won’t have a country any more” he will be ripping the bandage off a wound still suppurating.
But why pay the bills when his only purpose for seeking another term in the White House is to fleece the taxpayers.
Madison mayor’s tongue-lashing of the press in a time of trauma was ill-advised.
Speaking with right-wing radio host Vicki McKenna on her iHeart Radio podcast on Thursday, former Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, who is running in the April election for a seat on the state’s highest court, complained that the Jan. 6 defendants never got “a fair shot” in court and accused Democrats of “abusing the court system” for “political gain.”
The first major test to determine who might be the 48th president of the United States will take place on April 1, 2025, with an election for a vacant position on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
When I met President Carter at the airport on his second visit to Oslo in May 1996, I gave him credit for my political career. I was elected in 1976 partly on the Carter coattails. We fell into a friendship that seemed like we had gone to high school together.

This is a naked, undemocratic power grab. Instead of focusing on an unneeded constitutional amendment, Wisconsin lawmakers should focus on accountability from those officials who administer our elections.
The horror in New Orleans had absolutely nothing to do with our supposedly “open border’s policy.”
It all changes in just two weeks, when another four years of negativity and orchestrated chaos begins.
We can’t plan for every contingency with the incoming administration, but we can prepare ourselves. Whether the price of gas, health care, student loan debt, or any other basic, every facet of our lives could be impacted. We should resolve now to prepare our financial house to weather the coming storm.
Electronic health information breaches exploded under the Biden Administration, and the person front and center throughout this meltdown was HHS Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm, formerly Wisconsin’s Health Services secretary-designee.
Milwaukee Water Works is a member of AWWA, which is suing the EPA to reverse lead pipe replacement requirements. It is disgraceful that our city’s public water utility is a member of an organization that is, once again, compromising public health.
