The U.N. vote called for maps that better reflect Africa’s true size. The U.S. was the only country to vote against it.

As we reflect on 9/11’s 25th anniversary, it is important to remember that there is more that unites us than divides us. We must come together, for the common good, again.

Even Congress came together, and politicians put down their swords to rally Americans against a new enemy. People began speaking to each other. Perhaps this is what we should remember.

Now, 25 years later, I still have trouble making sense of it all.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the Wisconsin race for governor between Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany and Democratic Milwaukee County Exec. David Crowley. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

My responsibility that Tuesday was to get the story right. Today, I understand that I have another responsibility: to remember.

We must teach history — and vigilance.

After 25 years I am left with one question. As I look into the eyes of my veterans who carry the scars, the symptoms, the suffering of military service, I ask myself, “Was the cause worth the cost?”

Sept. 11 set the scene for a cursed 21st century so far.

I will say in the open what people have been whispering: Madison Metropolitan School District is as troubled as Milwaukee Public Schools is.

UW-Stout Polytechnic’s applied learning, career focus are responsible for an $858 million economic boost and 9,400 jobs statewide.

The main effect of the actual policy Vance is promoting will be to make the lives of already stressed working-class families, especially in Wisconsin, even harder, more expensive and noticeably worse than before.

The fest begins Friday, Sept. 18, and concludes on Saturday, Sept. 26, featuring 29 mostly in-person sessions over nine days.

It’s not that hard-to-believe endings to games haven’t happened before. But the introduction of gambling and the huge amounts of money at stake has added a new layer of conspiracy theories on why the improbable happens.

A simmering feud is emerging in Wisconsin’s higher-education “family.” Settling it in a way that helps all types of students, from those seeking job-related certificates to those pursuing four-year or graduate degrees, is a job that will fall to the next governor and Legislature.

Are the current maps partisan? Anti-competitive? Supreme Court must decide.

The odds are pretty good that after all the dust settles in November we’ll have some form of divided government in Wisconsin, just as we do now.

Our campaign is powered by regular folks, not the rich.

James Wigderson is a conservative Republican who doesn’t support Donald Trump. That has turned him into an embattled Don Quixote of the right, tilting at MAGA windmills and defending traditional conservative policies.

News coverage of gun violence should not be stripped of its visceral reality.
