The announcement last week that the Waupun Correctional Institution’s warden and eight of its staff members had been charged with gross misconduct, following an investigation into deaths at the facility, is the latest indication that the state’s prison system is in absolute crisis.
Milwaukee Public Schools must immediately halt all spending authorized by the narrowly passed $252 million referendum because taxpayers weren’t told the truth about MPS’s finances before the April election.
Baraboo Superintendent Rainey Briggs shoved at high school graduation ceremony by father of student on stage getting ready to shake his hand.
The results have been spectacular: a record almost 21 million covered by Affordable Care Act private insurance nationally and 23 million covered through Medicaid expansion.
Addressing reproductive freedom as a Christian legislator.
Americans on November 5th will be called upon to voice their choice as to whether America should become a dictatorship or remain a democracy.
In this case, Trump will end up at the Supreme Court because both sides will appeal if they lose at the appeals court, where the majority of the Supreme Court is conservative with at least three justices having been appointed by Trump. And the other hope you should hold onto is that the Dems have over played their hand. Even many Dems and independents don’t like where this country is going.
Congress delegated the power but could it?
I’m urging Congress: Don’t use the Farm Bill to hurt farmers. Make sure to protect clean energy investments that help farmers protect their bottom line.
With approximately two-thirds of the counties in Wisconsin void of formal air monitoring it is critical to recognize that we don’t know what we aren’t monitoring, and just because we aren’t monitoring doesn’t mean we don’t have a problem.
More than 100,000 courageous Marines, soldiers, sailors, nurses and other military personnel who sacrificed their lives for freedom during World War I and World War II are laid to rest in sacred sites like Aisne-Marne. Overall, there are 25 overseas American military cemeteries, with 4,595 Wisconsinites commemorated.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, set the stage for the 2024 fall legislative elections with candidate filings completed this past week. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
A year into the new liberal majority, the pace of cases being heard by the Wisconsin Supreme Court has slowed, mammoth cases are being decided, and much more lies ahead. And the clock is ticking.
Bureaucrats apparently don’t want parents to know when their kids can’t read or do math.
It is impossible to overstate the scandal coming out of the Waupun state penitentiary (excuse us) correctional institution.
Without legal guardrails, children are at risk of consuming unregulated and untested intoxicating products, and that is a cause for concern.
Today, we must be vigilant against those seeking to expand their oppressive rule worldwide. Freedom must never be taken for granted – abroad or at home. The conditions that led to the start of World War II could easily happen again. We must never forget history, or we will be doomed to repeat it.
Republicans in Wisconsin are downright blasé about hosting a nominating convention for a convicted felon just a few days after his sentencing hearing.
Common sense would dictate that the absolute worst thing for a presidential campaign would be a criminal conviction of the candidate—let alone a conviction on 34 felony charges—but this is apparently not the case.
The Badger Project reported this week that our unhinged congressman took to X to compare the judge presiding over Trump’s fraud trial to an obscure Nazi judge, adding that he was “Communist scum” while equating Joe Biden to Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Adolf Hitler.
