The fact is that the party has a nominee with the verbal dexterity to prevail against the lies and distortions ahead and none of Biden’s age-related baggage. So, should we heed the nitpicking conversation pundits or the sage operative who warns us to pump the brakes?

I can’t wait to see how they straddle this fence – either she’s been Grandpa Joe’s partner in crime, so to speak, or, if not, then she didn’t do anything for four years and doesn’t have the experience to be president.

State Democratic chair explains why Mandela Barnes lost and Harris can win.

My political party just re-nominated a candidate who growls like a kiddie cartoon villain — growls! — insults and veiled threats. Joe Biden may have been senescent; Donald Trump is just plain unhinged.

Harris doesn’t need to motivate her base. Even if she doesn’t say everything they want to hear, they will never abandon her or abandon the country to four more years of Donald Trump, This gives her room to move to the center, which she should start doing right away.

Even with the drop-off from 2021’s record high, about 300 different Wisconsin companies attracted more than $2 billion from angel and venture capital investors in the last three years. Not quite the “Magnificent Seven” yet, but some pretty good dreams are alive.

Milwaukee County Parks are at a crisis point, according to a recent Wisconsin Policy Forum report. The Daniel Hoan Foundation parks contest was launched to solicit innovative ideas to help restore these jewels and also reduce operating costs.

Presidents George Washington, James Buchanan, and James Madison, the father of the Constitution all were married, but childless.

Vance was clearly being glib to make a point. But the point is valid. Liberals are generally less happy than conservatives. The studies showing this have been replicated for decades.

Vance was once a “never Trumper,” but reversed course on entering the 2020 Senate race in Ohio when he decided he needed Trump’s endorsement to have a chance to win the Republican nomination. He suddenly became an outspoken supporter of the then-president and a spokesperson for Trump’s Big Lie.

There have been several bipartisan wins signed into law, but we can and must do much more in the next session. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ideas that address these problems by reforming the system to empower consumers and our healthcare professionals.

Wisconsin continues to rise through the ranks for agricultural exports and now sits just outside the top 10 states at 11th place. This is up from when our state ranked 13th in the nation in 2021.
