This all feels predictable, but it is noteworthy that, in these toxic times, nearly half of the Gallup/Knight poll respondents — 48 percent — were in the “optimist” category, in which respondents believe there are traditional, aggressive sources of journalism they can depend on.
The state of our state is historically strong, and we are getting positive things done for the people of Wisconsin. Our Ambitious Agenda for 2018 introduces common-sense conservative reforms to address real issues.
So it seems recently that Wisconsin’s notoriously right-wing governor, facing an election for a third term in November, is suddenly not just tacking to the middle but embracing long-held Democratic progressive positions, attempting to signal to voters to forget the harm he has done in eight years and welcome the newly bending middle-aged wunderkind.
It was, first and foremost, a long, state-financed campaign ad with ‘highlights’ strategically dribbled out before the address, followed by statewide media market saturation, then day two analysis, etc.
Wisconsin’s economy is recovering in some factors, but in general the measures are split and the divide between the economies of booming counties and struggling counties continues to grow.
Ron Johnson places Trump and party over principles and patriotism.
In this episode of the Plaidcast, Congressman Sean Duffy is joined by Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill, to discuss border security, strengthening our military, and gossip at the world famous White House Salon.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck asks: What happens if President Donald Trump is indicted?
What did they do wrong? “I have no idea,” Fitzgerald admits, but demands firings.

Now that it’s 2018, an election year, I would like to welcome Senator Tammy Baldwin back to Wisconsin.
The work requirement waivers provide no new federal funding for job training, job search, transportation, child care or the other support services that were the government’s part of a new two-way bargain with beneficiaries. And without that two way street, what they will mainly accomplish is to reduce the Medicaid rolls by erecting barriers to coverage.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said Tuesday that an informant has told Congress that a “secret society” was set up within the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice shortly after Donald Trump was elected president.
Ron Johnson went Alex Jones on Fox News last night.
Dem Patty Schachtner scored an upset special election win in the Republican-leaning 10th SD January 16 as Dems immediately portrayed the victory over GOP Rep. Adam Jarchow as a sign a wave is headed toward Wisconsin this fall.
The GAB and its staffers had to go — but constantly reconstituting the agencies dedicated to enforcing clean elections isn’t a good look for either party. Find a model and stick to it — micromanaging elections investigators is bound to bring accusations of skullduggery and hijinks.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald is purging public watchdog agency employees and civil servants, for partisan reasons, without a hearing, openly and in broad daylight.
Michael Screnock blows off candidate forums, bets on special interest money.
