The Isthmus delivers its Cheap Shots for 2018

Rothschild shares his top 10 stories of the year.

His last-minute deal with Kimberly-Clark is not real economic development.

My least favorite complaint from the Democrats, their lefty allies, and the media is that Republicans are somehow interfering with the “peaceful transfer of power” from Walker to Governor-elect Tony Evers.

Citizens overwhelmingly opposed long list of legislation passed by Republicans.

Rather than challenge the new law on its own merits, the liberal groups are asking the judge in Madison to determine that his rulings back in 2016 on the previous statute somehow apply to the new statute.

Suits by governor, legislature, citizens coming on lame duck laws, gerrymandering.

RightWisconsin Editor James Wigderson and WTMJ-AM’s Steve Scaffidi look back at 2018.

My guess is that the Wisconsin Legislature’s Republicans had no idea what kind of public relations blunder they had committed when they decided to pass a bunch of laws to make the jobs of the governor and attorney general the people of Wisconsin had just elected a little more difficult.

Every election loser knows the drill: you take the stage, speak into the microphone, concede to the winner, tough it all out and move on, because the people had spoken and that’s how that game is played and completed. Refusing to do so, and then changing the rules and the import of the result out of spite, and in service to your often secret financial backers, is a serious and dangerous thing to do.

We thought 2017 had more whoppers than the front counter at a movie theater. But from the lies that influenced the Wisconsin election to lies that changed the national narrative about a whole host of issues, 2018 proved even worse. It wasn’t easy, but we narrowed the list down to the top ten whopping lies.
