As Donald Trump was once again bashing the news media, this time at a VFW convention in Kansas City, Missouri, goading the veterans into booing and belittling the reporters covering the gathering, I started to wonder if at long last we’ve completely lost all sense of reality.
These types of meaningless bans aren’t about actually saving wildlife; they are simply the latest weapon in an arms race of smug self-regard.
To defeat Scott Walker and make Wisconsin strong, we need a tough candidate, with proven accomplishments, and the political base and ability to carry the state.
I’m not a politician or typical candidate. I am a deeply concerned Wisconsinite who believes that new perspective, energy, and leadership will move our state all forward.
Sermons by acting Sheriff Richard Schmidt, who also serves as a pastor, are something voters should take time to know about.
With the Aug. 14 primaries fast approaching, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala & Jensen, analyze the Dem gubernatorial race and the GOP Senate race. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
Former Iowa Gov. Bob Ray, who recently passed away at age 89, embraced a fiscally responsible but progressive agenda that included support for looser abortion laws, the Equal Rights Amendment and opposition to the death penalty. Today, U.S. Rep Steve King better reflects the Iowa GOP. He represents a massive district across northwestern Iowa, and is as unlike Ray as it is possible to be.
It didn’t take a single word, just a show of hands to reveal just how unserious Wisconsin’s Democratic Party has become.
Company’s satellite centers in Eau Claire and Green Bay could help reelect their benefactor.
Part of what we’ve all done is to deal — and deal successfully — with problems that have come at us. The university has faced several big challenges in the past five years that seriously threatened its quality and reputation.
In 2018, the House of Representatives voted 379 times, and I’m proud to report that I cast a vote each and every time.
The Legislative Council Study Committee on Alcohol Beverages Enforcement met in Madison on Wednesday to discuss how to deprive you of drinking beer or wine outside of a Wisconsin Tavern League approved facility.
Cap Times Idea Fest 2018 will be presented Sept. 28-29, Friday night and all-day Saturday, in great venues in the heart of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Tickets go on sale today.
Politicians have often been mocked for being willing to say anything to realize their own ambitions. We are now realizing that voters themselves, regardless of party, are no different.
Nationally and in Wisconsin they have become activists and super legislators.
More debt. Higher property taxes. What’s not to like?
If government is going to work for all of us, we desperately need to end legal bribery.
For many state and local governments, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. may seem like a revenue windfall. It’s not a windfall, however, if the net effect of the law is to harm commerce by making it a lot harder for small businesses to conduct business through the internet.
We will continue to fight attacks on women’s access to healthcare, and we will once again introduce legislation to repeal the State’s criminal abortion statute when our next legislative session begins.
Local governments could address their road repair needs, but they don’t make that a funding priority. By neglecting road repairs, they seem to believe they can manufacture a crisis as a way to get more state funding.
