Wisconsin is either second best, third from the bottom – or someplace in between. I’m betting on the middle. No matter where the reality falls, there’s room for improvement.
The Biden administration forcing nursing homes to meet a one-size-fits-all requirement without enough available workers in the labor market is an unrealistic expectation.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham unilaterally, unconstitutionally, and illegally banned citizens from carrying — concealed or not — all firearms in her state. The good progressive based her diktat on the science of public health.
On Tuesday, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced that the Legislature would finally get on board with Gov. Tony Evers’ proposal to adopt Iowa’s method of drawing state legislative boundaries, but the Governor called the idea “bogus.”
When it comes to Vos, the devil is always in the details.

The GOP is trying to impeach judges over nothing, but Dems won’t even go after Clarence Thomas for his very real mega-corruption. Come on!
I’m calling on the Biden Administration and Congress to collaborate and reach a funding agreement to ensure the continuation of the Affordable Connectivity Program.
Governor Evers is running an office in which romantic relationships between superiors and subordinates is allowed at great risk to the taxpayers and at great consternation to others in the office who do not have exclusive access to his chief of staff’s ear in the wee hours of the morning.
Poll finds residents oppose subsidy by 2-1 margin, could make a deal even tougher to sell.
