Although polls show most Americans back the U.S. pullout, it may surprise many that nearly a dozen U.S. veterans groups support Biden’s ending the Afghan War.

M.D. Kittle: Evers hits small business again
Gov. Tony Evers — again — could have made life easier on the small businesses he has battered and bruised with his policies over the course of the pandemic. The Democrat instead used his veto pen to remove a measure that would have eliminated a burdensome “property” tax on business.

Dan O’Donnell: Evers caves to Republicans, proves he stands for nothing but himself
“Paltry.” “Inadequate.” “An insult to the kids of our state.” Just a month ago, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers had harsh words for the Republican-controlled State Legislature’s biennial budget. Now he’s trying to take credit for it.

Dave Cieslewicz: Dems need alternative to Evers
Democrats deserve a choice. Do they want to nominate Tony Evers again and, at best, get four more years of wishy-washy or do they want to take a chance on actually making a difference?
