For almost two decades there has been a cloud over the festivities: chronic wasting disease. And for the last eight years, the government has done nothing to keep it from spreading.
That’s what the citizens get for daring to vote against him.
The photo of the smiling students from Baraboo High School, in which many of them appear to be giving the Nazi salute, is a prime example of how forgetting the horrors of the past can cheapen the memory of the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust.
Basking in the mammoth November election victory and preparing for a festive holiday season, the Wisconsin public is little in the mood to think of politics or the degree of mischief the Republicans are contemplating in the 40 odd days before Tony Evers and Mandela Barnes are sworn in as Democratic leaders January 7. This is just the sort of lull the GOP loves to pounce in.
GOP leaders in Wisconsin are ready, willing and able to deal themselves an unnecessary and crippling self-inflicted political wound.
RightWisconsin Editor James Wigderson joins Steve Scaffidi on AM 620 WTMJ to discuss the week in politics.
Recently Rep. Nygren claimed in a press release that I don’t care about or support the Kimberly-Clark workers in Marinette because I have not committed to voting for AB-963, a bill that would give Kimberly-Clark, a Texas-based corporation up to $100 million or more in taxpayer cash to protect 388 jobs in the Fox Valley. Unfortunately, there are significant concerns with this bill. So significant in fact, that I was told as many as 8 Republican senators are opposed to it.
Data from the newly released state report card reveals that more charter schools and private schools in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program are meeting or exceeding expectations than Milwaukee Public Schools.

Wisconsin GOP U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher’s reform agenda for Congress (Atlantic) seems well-intended, but mostly inadequate for the Trump initiated constitutional crisis.
We are blessed by the service and sacrifice of our Native tribes. One example is the role they played in the wake of the devastating fire in Peshtigo in 1871.
All of the most powerful players in the agribusiness industry, except the farmer, benefit from overproduction. For farmers, the economics of this overproduction are so bad that many have been forced out. But the agribusiness sector marshals its lobbying power in Washington to oppose supply management.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, analyze the new reality: divided government in Wisconsin. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Support for gun regulation is 52 percent compared to 44 percent for gun rights, the reverse of two years ago, according to a recent national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. Another recent poll by the Kaiser Foundation showed that gun safety is now the third most important issue to Americans, wrote Robert Spitzer, a political scientist and the author of five books on gun policy, in a recent New York Times op-ed.
Voters rejected Democrats for the Assembly, Robin Vos declares. Er, not exactly.
After 8 years of conservative policies, the next executive pushes liberal plans.
Walker has made two worrisome moves since his rejection by the voters on Nov. 6th for a third term that go beyond a losing incumbent’s understandable unhappiness at being defeated.
Our politics can again be high-toned and honest. We can again have leadership that shows people a path forward as opposed to always a mere reflection of where we are presently. We have not had that in our state for many years. Tony Evers can do that by talking honestly to the people he will now lead. I am hopeful
Right before our eyes, the deal is changing.
Republicans threaten governor’s power, but may actually kill a bad 2017 law they passed.
