Johnson’s legislative accomplishments have been slim to none. From the time he was elected, millionaire Johnson has been obsessed with cutting taxes for the wealthy and defunding the Affordable Care Act.
Wisconsin U.S. Senator has gotten $1.3 million in donations, just behind Mitch McConnell.
I have very little hope that those who take huge sums of money from the NRA will change their tunes, but we can at least vote to replace them. If we don’t act responsibly this time, we will all have blood on our hands.
While they do have a tendency to cluster together, mass shootings are exceedingly rare and, contrary to the predominant media narrative about them, they are not easily preventable through more gun control legislation.
The argument about constitutionally guaranteed rights to carry any type of weapon is a sham.
Do we trust our teachers or not?
Our gun-addled culture is falling apart.
It is true what they say: Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. It is also true that people kill people with guns, and it is also true that those people who choose to kill children seem often to favor variations of the AR-15 assault rifle.
Politicians’ role in gun control debate.
Assembly Speaker’s Republican primary challenger called Vos a ‘treasonous traitor.’
Instead of bickering over who is the outsider, or the real outsider, or the super outsider, or the out-there outsider, we should cast our vote for the person who most shares our values and who is most likely to be effective in governing by those values.
The “Not-Kleefisch” movement in the Republican Party seems to have finally found its candidate in Tim Michels.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider why delegates at the Wisconsin state GOP convention did not endorse a candidate in the Republican primary for governor. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We must never forget those who died so that we never make that mistake again.
This Memorial Day, remember those who gave all, by seeking the unity required to leave a strong and free nation for our children and grandchildren.
Wisconsin lawmakers are expressing frustration and condemnation of the Evers administration following a report showing the state Veterans Home at Union Grove is one of the most troubled veterans nursing facilities in the nation.
