Last week’s disaster of a presidential campaign debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was met with shock and sadness by American allies and rivals alike, according to a New York Times round-up of reactions from around the world.
Exposed to Sen. Ron Johnson who tested positive, but won’t wear mask in court. Attorneys fear risk for themselves and clients.
I hope he recovers quickly — and then loses overwhelmingly.
Trump and Johnson have downplayed the risk of coronavirus from the beginning.
Yeah, he said it. Doesn’t matter how many times you pressed rewind, the words were clear as day, “Stand back and stand by.” This statement, from Donald Trump, during the first 2020 presidential debate has hung around like the nooses of the old south. Swinging, from the POTUS’s mouth, was the unspoken nod to white supremacy.
Milwaukee County’s chief medical examiner told WISN 12 News the state’s pandemic death total includes more than 100 people who had COVID-19 but died primarily of other causes.
The inevitable result of months of legislative inaction has arrived. What now?
With soaring caseloads, ramped up hospitalizations, economic pain, and unemployed workers seeking federal assistance the last thing we should need deal with during a pandemic is a power play at the statehouse. Yet, that is precisely what is happening.
It’s time for the silent majority to find their voice and engage this November, or our journey to the year 1984 will continue until the silent majority is no longer able to live in peace. Orwell’s book 1984 offers a clear vision of a society no one should want any part of.
While he was a lifelong Republican, I suspect Mel would be far more likely to support an experienced, capable, reasonable and decent man such as Joe Biden in this election, even though he would undoubtedly differ on some policy issues. To Mel Laird, the country came first, above political affiliation.
The UW-Madison may just have reopened some dormitories but the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, are as concerned as many parents about the health of the students as well as the financial health of Wisconsin’s colleges and universities
Just how well did Tuesday night’s presidential debate go for Democratic nominee Joe Biden? So well that members of his party and their allies in the media alike are urging him to skip the next two.
The killing of Breonna Taylor reveals a deep and pervasive institutional resistance to accountability.
While NBA players tout ed reform, Milwaukee school officials play defense.
Donald Trump has no popular mandate to turn the nation’s Supreme Court into the platform for right-wing judicial activism that he seeks to make it. Nor does Mitch McConnell have a popular mandate to advance Trump’s cause in the U.S. Senate.
Many Wisconsinites are doing all we can to increase voter turnout and prevent another four years of Trump. Our democracy depends on it. Governor Evers should join us by using his clemency power to reinfranchise as many people as possible, right now.
As you take in the fall colors and drive the countryside, please be aware of the farm vehicles that share our roads. Farmers are working hard to bring in their crops and prepare their fields for winter.
Senator John McCain’s daughter is WMSE promotions director, has lived in Milwaukee since 2017.
Our campuses are demonstrating success by first instituting an aggressive testing model, and then by working with faculty, staff, and students to create that culture of responsibility needed to succeed.
Alter the structure and avoid another debacle.
