WisOpinion.com: ‘The Insiders’ consider why GOP guv hopefuls failed to win party endorsement

Paul Fanlund: Alex Gee: White people ask the wrong questions after Buffalo
The Madison civil rights leader says white people should ask how young white men become radicalized rather than how Black people feel about the shooting.

Jeff Robischon: At least we’re safe from CRT
School is supposed to be a safe place for our children to learn and grow. Instead, we fight about critical race theory, books people don’t want our children to read, and many other topics EXCEPT safety in our schools. God forbid we address that.

Angela McManaman: I am a Milwaukee mother. I’m not sure I can send my 8-year-old to school after the Texas shooting rampage.
With America’s 120.5 to 100 gun-to-resident ratio, with guns now the leading killer of our children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with state legislators more focused on bathroom bills, abortion and (nonexistent) voter fraud than on gun safety, maybe sheer dumb luck is the only thing standing between any one of us and gun violence.

Patrick Testin: Remembering those who died – on the battlefield and off
Nearly 27,000 Wisconsinites have given their lives on battlefields around the world, and we honor them with our thoughts, prayers, and tributes. This Memorial Day, however, I would like to also draw attention to the casualties that occur off the battlefield – the veterans who fall to suicide.

Martha Cranley: Prescription drug prices are outrageous
Seniors in Wisconsin and nation can’t afford it. US Senate must act to rein in prices.

Dan O’Donnell: It’s okay to grieve
Trust me, there will be plenty of time for political posturing, for using the deaths of 19 children however we can in an important election year. For now, can we just grieve? Can we cry? Can we, dare I say it, offer our prayers?

Dave Cieslewicz: Another mass shooting; expect nothing to happen
As long as guns remain a senseless symbol of freedom to millions of rabid gun owners, nothing will change. This will happen again.

David Blaska: Sure, ‘Something must be done!’ But what?
A cliché more worthless than ‘thoughts and prayers’
