It should come as little surprise that liberal Gov. Tony Evers appointed Lori Kornblum to Wisconsin’s District II Court of Appeals. She’s got years of experience as a prosecutor in the “progressive justice” laboratory of Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm.
The REINS Act caused the DNR to abandon plans to craft nitrate standards as recommended by DHS, even though a growing body of evidence ties nitrates in drinking water to a host of health concerns, including colon, ovarian, thyroid, kidney and bladder cancers.
We need more journalists like Chris Wallace — tough on both sides like a real journalist should be. Do we really need more shills like Laura Ingraham and Rachel Maddow?
The public health of all Wisconsinites depends upon our collective commitment to providing care to everyone in need.
What if the U.S. and China and all the rest were to devote even half their expenditures to nonviolence and peace?
Voters gave Democrats control of the White House, the Senate and the House last year. That should have been a mandate for change. But when it comes to defense spending, the change is for the worse.
While Johnson peddles mouthwash to “kill the coronavirus,” Baldwin takes her governmental obligations and responsibilities seriously.
Nationally and locally, the slate of elected officials announcing that they are not planning to seek re-election is setting off alarms.
Madison has produced its fair share of Republicans over the years, politicians like former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, former California Gov. S.I. Hayakawa, the late Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Bill Steiger and, of course, the school’s current president, Tommy Thompson, four times elected governor of his state.
Even if president is a weak fool, the American people are not.
Columnist Bob Chernow offers ideas for dealing with the worker shortage.
Even soft-on-crime Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne knows you don’t recommend $1,000 bail for suspects charged with running over people.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, are at odds over the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s nod to the GOP redistricting effort. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Wray says the mayor, the school superintendent, the police chief, the School Board, the City Council, students, and parents need to take a deeper and more fundamental look at school safety and the role of police in this era.
As a gender-neutral alternative to the term Latino, ‘Latinx’ has flourished on college campuses and in the mainstream media, yet its reception in the Hispanic community has been chilly.
This law provides our first responders with some new gear: public education, enhanced penalties for hurting a roadside worker and a new emergency zone with double the penalties for infractions, including cell phone use.
We have come a long way from the time when abortion supporters advocated that they be safe, legal, and rare.
Ron Johnson proposal to have only Republicans run elections is shockingly brazen.
Gov. Tony Evers and Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake insist the worker shortage has little to do with strict COVID vaccine mandates. Health care professionals who have quit or have been fired for just saying no to compulsory COVID-19 shots tell a different story.
