Imagine if Barack Obama had said to Trump during his campaign of belittling America — if things are so bad, why don’t you go back to where you came from?

U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher wants to be seen as a reasonable Republican who is not as bigoted as the president, but he refuses to actually stand up to the president.

It was another lesson as to why government is essential in our lives, and the ones we pay to do this work are most deserving of our deep appreciation.

Cap Times Idea Fest is slated for Sept. 13-14 .

To read some of the pundits these days, you’d think that the “far left” Democratic candidates for president are pushing radical, out-of-the-mainstream ideas that will surely lead to the re-election of Donald Trump if the party is foolish enough to nominate them.

The answer may depend on where you live. Folks in New York City and Los Angeles and perhaps even Chicago seem to relish the ideas that moderate Democrats call extreme. In states like Wisconsin, where the voters may lean Democratic, the successful gerrymandering of a decade has locked the Republicans in legislative power — despite a smart Democratic governor.

The liberal bubble has swollen to levels that threaten to snatch away an exceedingly winnable election against perhaps the most disliked incumbent president in history.

To say that Evers is inventing new ways to spend money isn’t just a figure of speech anymore. In the most ludicrous expansion of line-item veto power in recent memory, he circumvented longstanding constitutional norms and $86 million in K-12 education spending to Wisconsin’s biennial budget.

Deployments which have nothing to do with the security of America or Wisconsin take a toll on our Guard soldiers, their families, employers or their education, even if all survive the fiasco. We call upon Governor Evers to keep our troops at home unless the Wisconsin Legislature recognizes a national emergency which requires the use of Wisconsin’s soldiers.

Bipartisan efforts to assert the legislative branch’s war powers is a welcomed start.

Wisconsin Examiner adds to Capitol press corps, with a “people’s” perspective on policies.

Non-profit he will run has lots of money. But he can’t run for office.
