Wisconsin is not done with the need for veto reform.

Our founders clearly spelled out in the Declaration of Independence that all of us are created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain fundamental rights. In other words: Our rights come from God, not the government.

Walker is now determined to “undo years of liberal indoctrination.” To achieve this, he has announced a new donor-financed initiative: “I am leading a new effort at Young America Foundation to counter the impact of radicals on campus.”

The often touted Northwestern University football coach, Pat Fitzgerald, was fired mere days after allegations of hazing came to light.

Read excerpts from the new chapters in the 2024 Almanac on the state of Wisconsin and Gov. Tony Evers, written by Louis Jacobson.

The Republican caucus has made it clear it doesn’t think measures to boost the workforce, like providing help so parents can afford child care, are good for Wisconsin.

Ron DeSantis opens up on why wisconsinites should vote for him; discusses Trump & RFK Jr.

Our family farm was in the midst of a sensitive transition when a spark touched off flames that could have finished it for good.

Also known as aurora borealis, the Lights are most often seen in Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia, but an 11-year solar cycle that’s expected to peak in 2024 is making the lights visible in places farther to the south.

They’re much better funded than the UW System. Why?

Governments, including school districts, city halls, and even governor’s offices, that openly embrace transgenderism and fly the “pride flag” in or on government buildings are clearly not remaining neutral in a matter of faith.

The world belongs to the optimists and idealists. Always has, always will. Nothing has ever been accomplished by those convinced it can’t be done.

Were I a leftist, I would be applauding Evers’ success in the face of a Legislature controlled by the oppositions. As a conservative, however, I lament that Evers has pushed Wisconsin into what will be at least a decade of decline.

Looking beyond rhetoric on both sides.

Usually, when Republicans demand big benefits for the rich, Democrats accept them as part of “compromise” schemes that provide scraps for the great mass of people. That didn’t happen this year because Evers called Vos’ bluff.

To pay for Democrats’ war on success!

Wisconsin voters of all political views and stripes would be best served by Meagan Wolfe continuing in her current role.

These days, I can barely catch my breath. One far reaching legislative decision or policy proposal after another has been introduced/passed. Whether at the state or federal level, many of these initiatives have far reaching consequences, with harmful implications.
