The race for the 8th Senate District in the Milwaukee suburbs is one of the most important in the state’s Spring Election. We break it all down.
America learned of a mass shooting earlier this week on the campus of Michigan State University.
Audubon was not only a racist, he bought, enslaved and sold people to fund his travels.
We’ve seen the positive impacts of conservative, common sense, grassroots involvement in entities like the Sauk County Board of Supervisors. Long gone is much of the drama and consternation that plagued the board for years.
Governor Evers delivered his 2023 budget address with pomp and pageantry…that ultimately means nothing since Republicans will just ignore his proposal and pass their own (far more realistic) budget.
There are several items that the Governor and Speaker Robin Vos (the only Republican who really matters) could find common ground on. Here’s a list.
Bruce Murphy characterizes the fact that I work two jobs as “double dipping” and deceptive. Millions of Americans, and hundreds of legislators, who are currently working two or more jobs in order to make ends meet, would likely disagree.
In addition to his professional experience as a prosecutor and judge, Mitchell brings life experience that none on the Supreme Court have ever had.
Until bravery rises up, guns won’t be put down.
Once again, the bureaucratic tail is wagging the elected dog
Every mass shooting in our nation serves as a gut punch to our moral compass.
Protasiewicz was open about her personal beliefs, but she did not take a position on a specific case that might find its way to the high court.
Cautioning Karofsky on her manners toward a Trump attorney was wrong.

Supreme Court set to rule on federal authority over navigable waters
With approximately 1,000 inmates in a facility that has a capacity of less than 750, GBCI is the second-oldest prison in the Wisconsin corrections system. It is overcrowded by 45% and is dangerous.
So what do we do as the innocent victims pile up as they did again in East Lansing the other day, the 68th mass shooting in the country since the first of the year? Just keep trying.
Working as public school teacher and administrator while serving in Legislature, getting two full time salaries.
Higher education is undergoing change in Wisconsin and elsewhere. It will likely take all shapes and sizes of that “pipeline” to replenish the workforce with the talent the state needs.
Since book banning has always been scorned and ridiculed throughout history, it does beg the question as to why conservatives seem so hell-bent on picking up the torch.
