Political polarization is bad. That’s one thing we can all agree on, say Democratic and Republican pollsters Celinda Lake and Ed Goeas.
Although his environmental bonafides are still a major part of his persona, he has morphed into a disgruntled politician who claims that Joe Biden represents a bigger threat to U.S. democracy than Donald Trump.
The race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump remains, as expected, neck and neck.
Failure to use phonics and poorly trained teachers may help explain this.
Over those 10 years, the West Bend School Board has increased spending while not doing anything proactive to right-size the facilities or staff.
Apparently, he doesn’t think they’re going to live long enough to deserve to have a say in things.
Across the board, from kindergarten to 12th grade – and into college or beyond – young people are suffering from a variety of psychological ills. Covid was a big factor.
For years, Biden has been among the nation’s most consistent voices in standing up for LGBTQ+ rights.
Donald Trump reminds us, as this New York trial continues, of how much we have lost in our political culture.
Wisconsin’s wolf population is more than healthy. It has recovered to the point of doing damage to other wildlife resources, and it is time for a true solution.
We need to reinvent the Wisconsin economy for stronger growth, and part of that challenge relates to the need to reorganize the Universities of Wisconsin System.
Redistricting means dozens of lawmakers and potential first-time candidates have decisions to make.
Stats raise questions about gridlock and political posturing.
Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendments—54 percent voted to ban private funding in our elections, and nearly 59 percent voted to ban outside election workers. Those dual victories were major achievements in the fight for clean elections in Wisconsin, but neither would have happened without the bravery of dozens of legislators and the backing of the people of Wisconsin.
Almost a third of Black men in purple states say they intend to vote for Donald Trump. But Biden is even losing support among Black women voters. That’s remarkable for a man who elevated the first Black woman to be his vice president and the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
Fiscal conservatism and commitment to limited government are out of fashion in today’s GOP. So is free trade and internationalism in foreign affairs. Old-fashioned Republicans who cling to these principles are dismissed as RINOs and drummed out of the party.
It must be one of our top priorities as a nation to seek ways to address those who think the threat of violence is a valid political solution to their perceived grievances. The Republican Party must again take seriously their role in American politics.
Push for 36% salary hikes echoes mentality behind infamous county pension plan.
I lend my support to the Capital One-Discover merger and urge the Biden Administration, to recognize its potential to benefit small businesses, particularly those owned by minorities and women.
UW-L offers exceptional value to students and families. Despite the modest tuition increase for next year (about $350 per student), the in-state annual cost to attend UW-L will be approximately $18,000 — including room and board — which is comparable to or lower than most other Midwest universities.
