The hope to put an end to this American nightmare is Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, an empathetic and honest politician whose life has twice been touched by profound personal tragedy, but who bears a stain among many lefties for being — wait for it — too moderate.
There is nothing new in Jake Castanza’s recent letter to the editor defending federal Davis Bacon prevailing-wage law. We can look at Wisconsin’s experience with the repeal of its state prevailing-wage law as evidence for this point.
From the homes we own, the healthcare we receive, to our experience at polling locations, systemic disenfranchisement and racism are prevalent.
In the left’s never-ending war on reason and sanity, a Madison high school is now using racially-segregated groups to discuss racism.
In the midst of a national debate on the meaning of statutes and symbols that enshrine systemic racism, La Crosse Mayor Tim Kabat has asked the city’s Board of Park Commissioners to remove the Hiawatha statue from Riverside Park.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, county fairs have gone on with online registrations, very strict schedules, enhanced spacing and limited exposure for people and animals.
Improving mental health in Wisconsin’s 76th Assembly District is not an abstract concept for Maresh. It’s about improving access to health care, but it’s also about making sure people’s basic needs are met: stable housing, transportation, education and financial security.
John Weishan, who supported infamous pension plan that gouged taxpayers, is running for Register of Deeds.
It won’t help economy, will waste money and increase pollution.
Data shows state is losing the battle against COVID-19. He must reissue an emergency order.
The Wisconsin GOP is taking its cues from President Trump and his administration, which has shown clear contempt for public health and safety.
State Street, once Madison’s jewel destination shopping district, has become a haven for the homeless and criminals over the years. The riots that have ripped it apart this long, hot summer of civil unrest have retailers seriously thinking about getting out.
In 2013, the GOP-controlled Legislature passed and Gov. Scott Walker signed a law that bars workers who receive SSDI from also collecting unemployment benefits.
Joe Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ campaign theme is a welcome centrist theme that could help him peel away former Trump supporters, but his people need to sharpen their ideas about job creation.
The Republican Party that was founded in Ripon included plenty of people whose familiarity with radical ideas would alarm Mike Pence.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin has emerged as a viable candidate in part because she brings a lot to the political table.
The Republican-led Wisconsin State Legislature has now gone three full months, nearly 100 days, without passing a single bill, amid a deadly, worsening pandemic, a devastated economy, a massive unemployment crisis, a health coverage crisis, and the largest protest movement in U.S. history.
Negrophobia during this period laid the groundwork for northern segregation and Jim Crow that was to follow. It was the precursor to redlining, restrictive housing covenants, hyper-segregation of schools, race-based policing policies etc. All things that were prevalent in northern cities such as Milwaukee and Chicago; and all of which are at the crux of the Black Lives Matter movement today.
A war is raging in America, but its most visible battle–the one being waged in the streets–isn’t its most consequential. In city halls and state capitols across the country, the real fight for America’s safety, security, and soul is being fought, and won, behind closed doors.
Rather than rally Americans to stand shoulder to shoulder against this deadly illness, they did their best to tear the people apart and, of all things, make the wearing of a face mask a divisive political statement.
