RightWisconsin editor James Wigderson speaks with Appeals Court Judge Brian Hagedorn to discuss his possible run for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
That Mr. Evjue was prescient in warning about a dictatorship of wealth was exemplified earlier this month when the Seattle, Washington, city council voted to repeal a “head tax” it had enacted a few weeks earlier to raise money to help the homeless and build affordable housing in the city.
Years of Republican policies that favor large corporations over smaller family farms and drive down milk prices are having detrimental impacts on our local communities.
There are many forms of loyalty, some courageous, some unthinking. But the loyalty that Walker gives Trump is the most dangerous of all.
Medicaid is an important federal program intended to help Americans in need. Increasingly, however, the program is funding fraudsters whose primary goal is self-enrichment.
Trump believed his tariffs on steel and aluminum would help balance America’s trade deficit with powerful nations like China. But in doing so, he’s prescribing a dangerous operation for a patient who isn’t sick.
That Harley-Davidson is among the first out of the gate with a warning on higher costs is a black eye for President Donald Trump, who last year thanked the company for “building things in America.”
One clear sign would be if Leah Vukmir loses U.S. Senate primary.
How expanded entrepreneurship can fit into Wisconsin’s economy.
Corporate America has largely avoided sticking its head over the parapet in the trade war. That’s going to become harder as the bellicose rhetoric transforms into action.
This week, Harley-Davidson became among the highest-profile casualties of Trump’s escalating trade wars.
While the casualties in Trump’s trade war have been kind of “faceless” so far, that changed yesterday with the announcement by Harley-Davidson that the US motorcycle company would be moving more of its production outside of the US in response to Trump’s tariffs.
We are already seeing the statewide benefits of Foxconn’s historic investment.
A recent story in the British newspaper The Observer, sister paper to The Guardian, reported that the corporation’s factory in Hengyang, China, had once again violated employment laws in that country.
“The Road to Sprawlville” now runs from State Capitol to rural Racine County and right through to Mount Pleasant by bulldozing the land, diverting the water, polluting the air and evading or breaking traditional Wisconsin practices and values.
Gov. Scott Walker offered something worse than deafening silence on Donald Trump’s unconscionable policy of tearing infants, toddlers, and children from their parents and placing them in 21st-century internment camps when he said he wouldn’t comment on a “federal” issue.
Calls House Speaker Trump’s “poodle,” urges people to vote Democratic.
While the university has no shortage of great ideas, we could certainly do a better job matching those ideas with advisory groups and management and leadership teams that can credibly present a business opportunity to venture capitalists and angel investors. We need help from people with entrepreneurial skills and expertise to be advisors, counselors and mentors. And who better to play those roles than our 441,500 UW alumni?
Cannabis has been found to help many patients suffering from conditions that can afflict veterans as a result of their service, including chronic pain, cancer, ALS, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorders, and phantom limb pain. In 2017 all major veterans service organizations in Wisconsin passed a number of resolutions on health care, including one supporting medical cannabis for veterans with a doctors recommendation. AG Shimel and Wisconsin government continues to ignore the veterans’ position.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to send back a challenge to the state’s Republican-drawn maps to federal district court Democrats are continuing to call for nonpartisan redistricting legislation. Meanwhile, Republicans celebrated the unanimous opinion to return the case to a lower court — a decision that leaves the maps intact ahead of the November elections.
