Kavanaugh has been an open advocate for precisely the sort of imperial presidency that the founders of the American experiment feared—and that Donald Trump relishes.
Bryce has been arrested nine times. It takes a special kind of failure to accumulate that kind of record. If you know anybody who comes close to that record, you probably don’t think, “He should run for public office.”
The iron law of supply and demand still rules – and for the time being that law works in favor of Wisconsin’s soybean farmers – if they know how to play their cards.
Contrary to the “criminal justice reform” narrative about “mass incarceration,” it’s actually hard to get a stiff prison sentence.
America’s economy is growing in many ways, but the Trump-Harley dispute shows how the economy could suffer if companies are forced by government to make choices they would rather not make.
Trump and Walker are on the same page, and regular folks who voted for them are getting shafted.
The left’s #Resistance movement today against all things Trump is what big labor brought the Badger State seven years ago when “progressives” stomped all over civility in a campaign to topple Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
As one who lived through the civil rights marches and rallies of the early 1960s and the Vietnam War protests later that decade and into the ’70s, I need to applaud New York University history professor Thomas Sugrue for setting the record straight.
On Friday afternoon, Bryce found himself answering questions about a CNN report headlined: “Democrat running to replace Paul Ryan in Wisconsin has history of arrests, including driving under the influence.”

I wholeheartedly agree and applaud what appears to be a flood of passionate younger candidates, especially women and people of color. And best wishes to candidates whose districts will support ardently progressive positions, which includes Wisconsin’s 2nd CD. What I reject is the suggestion that this generational shift should also bring ever more extreme policy prescriptions in races throughout the nation.
The welcome John McAdams victory is not a David v. Goliath story. It is instead a reminder of the pivotal role of public interest law firms in fighting for key principles — in this case the rights of an individual who otherwise would have been smothered by the full legal and political clout of Marquette University.
Harley Davidson bosses say that Trump tariffs are forcing them to make their iconic American product overseas. Union workers are not so sure.
As parties flip-flop on free trade, can Wisconsin’s export economy be protected?
Baldwin’s only consistent philosophy on trade appears to be whatever helps her earn the votes of Trump voters in northern Wisconsin. Her flirtation with Trump’s damaging protectionism invokes the same jingoistic, primitive impulses Democrats now accuse Republicans of fomenting.
In Wisconsin, we spend more taxpayer money to lock people up than we do to educate them at universities. That should be a problem worth addressing for any politician.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. When politicians suddenly discover political positions and beliefs they never held before, we tend to be skeptical. Is their Damascene conversion
To polluted water, clear-cut land, dirty air, add diseased wildlife to Gov. Scott Walker’s environmentally-ruinous tenure.
On Tuesday, Valerie Strauss of the Washington Post released an “analysis” that purports to show the harm that Governor Scott Walker has caused to public schools throughout his tenure as governor. The claims made by Straus vary in their legitimacy, but some are so far afield from what serious research has found that they need to be soundly refuted
In “Two Minutes with Mitch,” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on data showing higher health care costs for teachers after Wisconsin’s Act 10 changes.
