Although I am optimistic by nature, I find it a struggle these days to remain hopeful.

Finally, after years and years of pressing the issue in election after election, action has now been taken on student loan forgiveness.

Credit Joe Biden with taking a horrible idea and making it better. But the very idea of forgiving any amount of student loan debt is so fundamentally flawed that no amount of lipstick is going to make that pig any prettier.

Nationwide, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly 300,000 public school educators and staff left the field between Feb. 2020 and May 2022.

In arguably one of the most thinly veiled political moves in Wisconsin history, Gov. Tony Evers rolled out a “working families” tax relief package Tuesday, on the second anniversary of the Kenosha riots — one of the Democrat’s worst failures as governor.

Biden’s plan to cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers earning up to $125,000 per year is very possibly the single biggest transfer from poor to rich in American history.

For some, losing an election means leaving the scene. Not me. We have too many challenges left to address, too many solutions that need to be offered, and too many people to celebrate who are making a difference.

But the senator from Wisconsin says it’s cool because he only participated in the seditious conspiracy for “a couple seconds.”

She will be more effective in her avowed opposition to his return to the Oval Office on the outside of the House of Representative politics than inside. She could be his worst nightmare.

The conversation around the viability of Social Security and Medicare is one that has been sitting on the sidelines for far too long, and Johnson has made it very clear that he is willing to take actions to guarantee that those who have already paid into the program will experience the benefits.

Ron Johnson supports ending guaranteed right to Social Security, Medicare.

Meanwhile his backers are running an ad claiming Mandela Barnes didn’t pay his taxes.

The two could hardly be more different in their background, experience and political views.

While Biden’s approval rating is still underwater (but improving), his impressive accomplishments can be a significant positive force in the November elections.

In the summer of George Floyd and other high-profile incidents of African-Americans dying at the hands of police, Gov. Tony Evers lumped in the Jacob Blake shooting and joined a chorus of radical voices in vilifying the cops.

Biden, Democrats balloon IRS agent force

August is Black Business Month, a time to celebrate and cherish the many African American owned businesses across the country.

As long as there are so many among us who wish to reside in the Dane County jail based on the absurdity of their actions then we will need to house them, keeping them separate from the ones who do live between the guard rails of law and order.

First Street Foundation, a non-profit research group, recently reported that the world will warm each year in coming decades and that could lead to “catastrophic heat,” including in Wisconsin.

The 2022 midterm elections no longer look like a GOP tsunami.
