As public and private land managers are influenced to opt for prairie/savanna restoration, there is an interesting perspective to add: Forests are OK, too.

Instead of a standing ovation, such as Wendy Rittenhouse received at the Republican Women of Waukesha County event, she should be condemned as a terrible mother.

On the 65th anniversary of the acquittal of the men who murdered 14-year-old Emmett “Bobo” Till, Black America suffered another punch to the gut by a justice system that too seldom provides anything approximating justice when the victim is Black. The officers who killed Breonna Taylor will not be held accountable.

The point man for Wauwatosa’s bogus ad hoc committee to address policing and systemic inequalities was caught on camera threatening a police officer. Not just basic smartphone video, but a police body camera.

Trump and the GOP-led Senate are speeding to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat before the election. If his nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, is confirmed before November 10, she will hear the ACA case and be able to rule that the ACA is unconstitutional.

As a physician, I’m extremely concerned that President Trump refuses to help tens of thousands of people in Wisconsin get health care after they’d lost their insurance because they were laid off during the COVID-19 recession, itself the result of the Trump administration’s poor planning and preparation.

Canada has six times more people than our state, but a much lower rate of new cases.

I don’t know what it is about us Wisconsinites. We have this history of electing people to high public office who become examples for the nation.

This past week, Jackson State University named Sanders as their head football coach. For many, this may not seem like much; but for Historically Black College alumni across the globe, this was epic news.

Though the Green Party and Kanye West wanted onto Wisconsin’s presidential ballot, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider how conservative Supreme Court newcomer Brian Hagedorn bucked party politics in a high court decision that could help Joe Biden.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing felt like a death in the family. Only a wave election for Democrats including Donald Trump’s defeat by Joe Biden can bring back the light.

Why admit that mask wearing can help in this fight when you can make a political issue out of it?

City of Madison poll workers will be registering voters and accepting absentee ballots this Saturday at more than 200 city parks, according to an ad running on local radio stations. Paid for by Biden for President.

Now all of a sudden, to talk about racism is “too political” and people are being intimidated into not even having a conversation about it. Don’t fall for this trick. All of the pushback is coming from the same direction. They are the people who wish to end the discussions and outlaw racial equity training.

My parents were part of the “greatest generation.” They brought about world peace, made America the envy of the world, and made our economic and social systems both fair and prosperous.

Be safe and take advantage of this important socially-distanced activity. It is good for your health – physically and mentally.

What the Green Party ruling tells about the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

UW’s response to COVID-19 has failed.

Evers’ failure to speak the truth, and continuing eagerness to promote a lie, has and is resulting in unnecessary worry and dashed expectations among Wisconsinites.

She achieved her victories not by force, but by persuading people that her position was the right one.
