In the last month or so, the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics has been busy with a couple of grant-funded social media campaigns promoting immunizations and mask use among children. The response was interesting, to say the least.
Just in time to save Democrats from the political fallout of their draconian mask mandates, the science of masking has changed.
Today’s Republican Party, with the exception of Mitch McConnell — who, god help us, is now the GOP’s voice of reason — appears to have given up on the idea of representing mainstream voters.
It’s time for transformational reform in our K-12 system, time to fight for families, and time to give every child a chance to succeed.
As the ribbon cutting on public works projects take place across America, all those congressional Republicans who voted against President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, condemning it as the ugly face of socialism, are now out there in the front row, basking in the limelight.
A bill moving through the Legislature aims to make sure what supporters see as discriminatory and destructive designations don’t hurt Wisconsin businesses in the next public emergency.
GOP bill raises question: Is there a shortage of trained drivers or do companies need to pay more?
The Wisconsin School Choice program (as opposed to the Milwaukee and Racine versions) is open for business until April 21 for enrollment next school year.
Vos and Gableman should turn their attention to the real fraud.
The Republican senator hates unions so much that he has said he won’t fight to win key manufacturing jobs for his own state. Democrats think that should cost him his seat.
While it is generally a good idea to reflect on ways to improve our system, it is often unwise to completely overhaul that system based on an extreme case or small number of outlier cases.
Wisconsin’s Republicans, led by Sen. Alberta Darling, will be introducing a series of education reform bills that will put more power in the hands of parents and families.
Latest proposal to break up school system is latest of such proposals going back decades.
As insane as it sounds, President Joe Biden’s Transportation Security Administration allows illegal immigrants to use arrest warrants as a form of identification to board flights. Wisconsin U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson wants that practice to end.
Sen. Lena Taylor highlights the case of human trafficking victim Chrystul Kizer, who at age 16 was accused of killing her alleged abuser.
Wisconsin can embrace rational, effective conservatism and help lead the way.
Members are privy to information that the average Joe does not have, and insisting otherwise only builds on the public belief that we have a rigged economy which benefits only the elites.
U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan wants his employees on Capitol Hill in Washington, and back home in Wisconsin, to be able to organize a union to represent their interests.
My priority is to get our way of life back. After a challenging two years, it’s time to rip the Band-Aid off COVID-19-era policies and return to normal.
Former Gov. Scott Walker’s gambit is now a mere shadow of its overly hyped self, and thanks to Gov. Tony Evers the state is now a lot less on the hook for Foxconn tax breaks. But the town of Mount Pleasant is still facing financial disaster.
