The outlaw protesters, whose aim is chaos, destruction and fear, are hurting the cause of the non-violent legitimate protesters who universally want “change.” Beyond the imperative to completely shut down the perpetrators of violence, my quandary with legitimate marchers and their very general plea for change is: what does that word mean in real terms?
One week we’re told of the horrors of living in Donald Trump’s America. The next week we’re told why we should be scared to death of Joe Biden’s America. What we’re not being told is how we can and must tackle national emergencies—and there are at least four of them—in your America, my America.
Milwaukee is very diverse, Wisconsin’s least racist city, he tells Washington DC radio station.
We must ease the burden for young people to get their footing while pursuing their dreams and future.
Despite the challenges managed by the healthcare industry over the last six months, the legislature’s actions related to healthcare this session have been very strong.
After decades of challenges and change, in a time when our farm population is aging, small businesses are closing and the need for reinvestment in housing, education, health care, broadband and infrastructure is urgent, we must confront the impact of COVID-19 and plan a response.
Biden has made it clear — he denounces violence committed “under any political banner.” With two Wisconsinites dead, another injured and a fourth paralyzed, why is it so hard for Johnson and Trump to do the same?
Unwilling to meet yet offering legislation to micro-manage police reforms in Milwaukee and Madison.
After spending nearly a week inciting rioters while allowing them to burn the city to the ground, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes are now attempting to shift the blame from their abject failure to President Trump.
Centuries of an un-level paying field created by Whites are the reason they are as a group so far ahead of non-Whites in this country.
What Coolidge repeatedly achieved during his time in the White House with his many remarks about including more people into the national community was his sense of civic patriotism. He rejected the nationalist pull that so many would have preferred he take, and instead spoke of values and foundations that have made this nation stronger.
As we plan for the needed steps to restart Wisconsin’s economy, it is vitally important that employers are able to focus on providing for their customers and making payroll; not worrying about lawsuits.
The once-great American middle class, buoyed by strong unions that won it 40-hour work weeks, health insurance and pensions and a safe working environment, had a lot to celebrate each Labor Day.
As of a few weeks ago there had been 143 incidents, and counting, of gun violence in Madison.
Despite all the bloviating at this week’s Republican National Convention claiming that Trump had drained the Washington, D.C., swamp, it’s hard to keep up with all the crooks who have been caught working for this president.
If Trump is seen on Tuesday as contributing to the continuation of the violence, his visit to Kenosha could be the moment when Trump loses the election.
A country divided by its president cannot stand.
A one-man band overseeing 4.4 million federal employees versus a true team leader.
Civilian review of police is too important to be conducted by a self-selected panel.
The Cancel Culture came for Christopher Columbus in the south-central Wisconsin town named after the embattled explorer. Now some residents are stepping up to give his statue a home.
