The reality of January 6th is nowhere near Democrats’ rhetoric about it. January 6 was a riot and a national embarrassment, but it was not an insurrection, an attempted coup, or the worst attack on America since 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. If it was, the criminal charges would have reflected it.
Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce continues to remain silent about the January 6, 2021 sedition.
A year later, I worry that our democracy is still in a perilous place. Rather than reject the Big Lie that the 2020 election was “stolen”, many leaders have continued to repeat this conspiracy theory and promote an alternate reality where facts don’t matter.
January 6, 2021, is a day that will forever scar our nation.
Almost as if it’s a game, my colleagues on the right offer up divisive and band-aidesque solutions to real state and policing problems.
Robin Vos may have done us all a favor by picking Gableman to run this Donald Trump-inspired attack on the integrity of our elections. It clearly shows what a fraud this Donald Trump-inspired attack on the integrity really is, but it also opens a window to our Supreme Court.
Gov. Tony Evers has been doing what’s right when it comes to the pandemic and, as a result, Wisconsin has weathered the pandemic better than many other states.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look back at 2021 and proclaim Wisconsin’s political winners and losers. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
County Executive Joe Parisi and a divided County Board are apparently steaming toward a binding referendum in the fall that will have voters deciding on plans to renovate the Dane County jail.
When it comes to closing schools, our kids’ futures and their very lives are on the line. Closing schools is far more destructive to our kids than COVID-19 ever will be.
Parents of color want America to know that our children’s education matters.
Sen. Steve Nass insists that even short term emergency measures used in a crisis must gain his JCRAR approval. During a worldwide health pandemic, we do not need a Wisconsin legislative committee wreaking havoc on state agencies as they battle to keep Wisconsinites safe and alive.
Wisconsin is the epicenter of the struggle to preserve American democracy.
At the heart of the lie of a stolen election is an insult to voters in cities like Milwaukee.
Gov. Tony Evers pushed for ending felony bail-jumping penalties in his last biennial budget proposal.
Wisconsin is at the center of the attack on American democracy that reached a frightening crescendo a year ago with the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
On January 6th, President Trump violated the most sacred and important tradition of our democracy – the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another.
A book due out this week, “The Steal: “The Attempt to Overturn the 2020 Election and the People who Stopped It,” includes a chapter that focuses on Rohn Bishop, then party chairman in Fond du Lac County, the birthplace of the Republican Party.
Let us be honest. Our democracy is under attack.
Representative Cori Bush is right in her read of the Constitution: Officials who give aid and comfort to insurrectionists must be removed from their positions.
