As part of her critique of essential public health measures in Wisconsin, she devoted page after page of the concurrence to recalling the World War II-era removal of 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes and communities and the forcible detention of these citizens in distant internment camps.
Gov. Tony Evers’ health chief was prepared to take her power play local after the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the state lockdown.
Our system of electing the President of the United States is broken, and Wisconsin has the opportunity to help fix it by becoming the 17th jurisdiction to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and reform the way America elects our presidents.
Wouldn’t it have been nice if we had devoted more of our resources to explore and develop ways to protect the public’s health from dangers like the latest coronavirus — a budget that the Trump people actually reduced — instead of figuring out we can militarize outer space?
1800s utopian commune called Ceresco was established — and collapsed — just blocks from where GOP was later founded.

The ruling ushers in what can perhaps be dubbed “Part III” of ongoing governmental attempts to address COVID-19 in Wisconsin: the advent of a patchwork of local-level regulations aimed at controlling the spread of the coronavirus.
In March, while the COVID-19 pandemic was rapidly spreading, President Donald Trump was at Mar-a-Lago playing golf. After his rounds, Trump reportedly told campaign contributors assembled there that he saw a “potential upside” of the pandemic — it was a chance to advance his political agenda.
Gov. Evers should take the lead in addressing unemployment backlog.
The Thompson Center was joined by Ryan Walsh, attorney and former Chief Deputy Solicitor General of Wisconsin to discuss the recent Supreme Court case on the Governor’s Safer-At-Home order.

The blowhard bureaucrats and politicians may not like it, but they’ve seen a surge in public engagement in the wake of the pandemic and government’s overreaching response.
Leadership from the top and steely determination from the populace were essential ingredients in the WWII years for the Brits.
In the 30s and 40s, smart policies came out of North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin and created the New Deal’s foundation, but no more. With the loss of power in those rural areas, we have become the serfs of the corporate class again, and we know they are not for us but for shareholders.
