The problem for Republicans is not that university administration or Big Government are stifling conservative views. The problem is that those views are generally not popular with the public — especially with young people. No amount of legislating against “wokeness” is going to fix that.
Say this for Vivek Ramaswamy, he came out swinging — but more like the Bayonne Bleeder up against Nikki Haley, who floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee.
A federal budget expert warns that the next president will face a deficit emergency with unhappy options.
Making the right moves in today’s hard-to-define economy was the theme at the 18th annual Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium, where more than 400 people gathered to hear entrepreneur pitches, to glean advice from people who have successfully led or invested in young companies, and to size up economic trends as well as hands-on business principles.
Only five Republican primary candidates made the cut to appear in a debate that was essentially about which one of them would remain standing as the sole line of defense against another Trump candidacy.
Kentucky’s pro-choice, pro-union governor just beat the combined power of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the Republican money machine.
The legislation, introduced by Sen. Kelda Roys and Rep. Francesca Hong, both of Madison, seeks to stop politicians from interfering in decisions where they have no business and to help ensure Wisconsinites are provided with medically accurate information when making reproductive health decisions, including abortion care.
Biden must call off the dogs of war. Israel has done enough and it’s time for a humanitarian ceasefire to provide aid for the Palestinians. We can broker a deal in Ukraine, acknowledging its complex history, and work with Europe to contain Russian aggression.
Central Park Conservancy the blueprint for Mitchell Park.
Major Milwaukee media outlets are running paid advertisements with claims that are demonstrably false.
That the years-long disinformation campaign about America’s election system is working not only nationally but right here in Wisconsin was underscored in a recent AP story about the Oconto County clerk’s efforts to assure her residents that the system has been and always will be safe and secure.
If officeholders can not and will not lift themselves up to the level of honesty and credibility demanded of those who sit in power, then reporters have a professional duty to show the nation the partisan absurdity.
Gov. Tony Evers announced that he is providing over 36 million tax dollars to pay for five building projects. The announcement highlights just how broken our government has become.
To truly lift Wisconsinites out of poverty and give them an opportunity to succeed, we need to drastically increase funding for public schools, not decrease it by diverting our tax dollars to unregulated private schools.
Hanson opines that those bashing the economy are ignoring the facts.
In 1973, Madison’s Esty Dinur was living in Israel and prepared to resist the draft. Then her country was attacked.
If done well, public transportation can offer a quintuple-digit stimulus to families, attract educated young workers, and reduce traffic better than any freeway expansion project.
Pitches from three young companies hoping to capture a bite of the growing pet market are among the 24 five-minute presentations that will take place Nov. 8-9 at the Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium in Madison, where they will compete with innovations in artificial intelligence, medical devices, manufacturing, workforce solutions and energy for the attention of early stage investors.
Gov. Tony Evers and UW President Jay Rothman are getting successive black eyes for unimaginative strategic leadership as they close UW colleges, one or two at a time. That’s the wrong answer, and it’s dumb politics.
The Crisis Now! Model incorporates local, regional facilities that are designed to be a “one-stop shop” for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis and will accept both voluntary and involuntary individuals for short-term stays.
