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.
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.
Gus Walz loves his dad. That should have been clear to anyone — Republican, Democrat, or independent — who saw him sob as his dad, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, accepted the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nomination Wednesday night.

Sexually abused young women are often regarded not as victims in unspeakable situations, but rather as “prostitutes” selling their bodies.
Excessive rules, regulations, and fees drive up consumer prices while threatening jobs in the private sector. The Wisconsin DNR’s current quest for more regulations and higher fees is a great example of the disregard government has the wellbeing of its citizens.
As I watch the convention and read press reports I see a huge difference about how the look and feel of the Democratic Convention compares to the starkly different one held by the GOP.
The closer you look at We Energies‘ latest rate requests the more outrageous they look.
Time and again, my home state has determined the political fortune of our country, and this year will be no different.
At a time where Republicans and Democrats cannot seem to agree on anything, giving people an opportunity at owning a home may be an exception. Home ownership is the greatest generational wealth builder in America and a critical path to prosperity.
Before flinging too many stones at their neighbor, Wisconsin Republicans might want to ponder why it is that Minnesota’s economy in a seven-year period grew 11% to Wisconsin’s 8%, and wages in the Gopher state rose 9.7% compared to our 6.4%.
