Despite everything small businesses do for our state, we still see federal policies that could severely impact our ability to succeed.

Trump ignited a firestorm this past week when he vowed to get rid of the Affordable Care Act if elected.

Last week, a coalition of unions filed a lawsuit against Act 10.

Despite the fact that Act 10 was litigated multiple times and ruled legal and constitutional every single time, the unions are suing again 12 years after Act 10 passed into law. Why? Because they and their Democrat vassals managed to elect a leftist activist majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

He’s run up big election totals in key counties and statewide running for attorney general.

LeMahieu joined in opposing an idea being pushed by some Republicans to eliminate the Elections Commission and put the administration of elections in the hands of the partisan Secretary of State’s office. And LeMahieu has called for Vos to back off on his withholding of inflationary wage increases for UW staff in order to pressure the UW administration to eliminate DEI programs.

There is so much more that could be said about the policy changes and directives intended to correct years of structural and systemic issues of fairness when it comes to HBCU’s. I don’t do empty promises and neither does Biden and Harris on their commitment to create change.

Over 70,000 Wisconsin students could be impacted.

Wisconsin lays claim to electing a candidate in 1918 that Congress refused to seat in the first place. That would be Victor Berger, one of Milwaukee’s sewer socialists.

In this time of deep division, can service save a fracturing society, cure an ailing republic? As Shirley Sagawa, author of The American Way to Change, says: “It may be the only thing that can.”

All of these Wisconsin Republican giants are standing up for America and the Constitution. Wisconsin should listen. It’s imperative.

It’s time for our Republicans counterparts to get serious and join us in re-investing in the Wisconsin Idea, the foundation of our great state’s ideals and the embodiment of our motto: Forward.

These students are engaged, give me hope.

Teachers learned how white people harnessed sparkling vampires, the Bible, and an animated Disney mermaid to oppress and dehumanize others in order to perpetuate white supremacy.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s pledge to once again attack the health care program attracted the usual sycophants.

The low-key meeting of Biden and Xi indicates serious, methodical diplomacy.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider President Joe Biden’s chances of winning again in Wisconsin in 2024. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

An essay by the Rev. Alex Gee in the Cap Times in December 2013 sparked a movement called “Justified Anger” that is still shaping Madison today.

And it came to pass that the whole world should be taxed (or charged a fee) — unfortunately.

Anti-woke conservatives want to whitewash history to preserve their dream of American exceptionalism. But we can celebrate our nation’s ideals even while acknowledging that we’ve fallen short of them.
