Apparently the way to get Trump to behave more presidential is to accuse him of being unhinged.

John Mielke, the president of Associated Builders and Contractors in Wisconsin, joins RightWisconsin Editor James Wigderson to discuss a bill waiting on action by the state Senate that would allow companies to have a one-to-one ratio of apprentices to journeymen in the skilled trades, a bill that will help (but not fix) the skills gap.

In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on whether Wisconsin should join the trend and legalize marijuana.

Nearly everyone agrees system needs reform, but can’t agree how to do it.

It’s 26 acres. It’s 50% larger than a wetlands fill for a sand mine to the northwest that was described in 2017 as the biggest such Wisconsin wetland loss in ten years.

Other state subsidies will have far greater jobs created per tax dollar spent.

Given the decision-makers who will do the hiring and the conditions under which the next police chief will have to work, crime in Milwaukee could get much worse.

Serious incidents of hate and bias at UW-Madison are diluted by frivolous and petty tattling – like bad manners at the gym, rude roommates, and a complaint about a homeless man hiding behind ‘white privilege.’

Buried deep in “Fire and Fury,” author Michael Wolff’s blockbuster book on the Trump White House, is a rather lengthy examination of the Trump-Ryan relationship that is damning for both the speaker and the president.

Todd Berry, the retiring president of the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, hopefully opened a few eyes with a farewell column he sent the state media last week.

If voters are supposed to be troubled that Soglin engaged in a diplomatic nicety long ago, won’t they be just as troubled that Walker has appeared on Chinese television sporting the contemporary symbol of a country Human Rights Watch describes as “a one-party authoritarian state that systemically curbs fundamental rights”?

As compelling as it may seem to link Soglin giving the key to the city to former Cuban leader Fidel Castro in 1975 to improving communications and fostering better international relations in Cuba, let it not be forgotten that allowing a dictator to have the type of positive inroads with such propaganda was not warranted considering the despicable way he ruled.

Parallels between Trump and Nixon on nuclear war and cover-ups.

Trump was right about Jerusalem despite the nervous nellies.

Common sense and reason must prevail in the marijuana debate. And opening the door to allow the federal government to prosecute more citizens in states where marijuana has been legalized by overwhelming majorities of the people makes no sense.

A 15-year love affair has turned really sour.

So far as I can see, Trump’s virulent base is most powerfully animated by a small-minded desire to give the rest of us a big, long middle-finger salute. Let’s not reciprocate, but let’s not pretend it’s much more complicated than that.
