We are talking about clear and direct issues that impact everyday Americans in every way, and the Harris-Walz team refuses to give clear answers, largely because they know the truth will not sit well with the American people.

You always worry about an October surprise. But Donald Trump is immune from this sort of thing. … Not so for Kamala Harris. She’s still subject to the rules of political gravity.

Five VP debate takeaways.

We need a united effort from all of our state’s leaders and especially our judges.

We call upon everyone in our country to engage in honest conversations about the realities faced by Palestinians and to take a stand against the injustices that our tax dollars support.

In a debate where JD Vance lied and lied and lied, Tim Walz did double duty. In addition to making his own case, Walz had to defend the truth.

It was nice to see two guys disagreeing agreeably.

Tim Walz’s rise is about more than being an endearing Midwestern dad. There’s policy achievements and a sense of urgency at the core of his ascent, and that’s exactly what Democrats need right now.

In November, a referendum will ask whether “only” citizens should have the right to vote. … This referendum, framed as a matter of legal clarity, is a smokescreen for an exclusionary agenda that seeks to marginalize already vulnerable populations.

Perhaps not trusting the will of the fickle American voter, Democrats have increasingly looked to noncitizens to give themselves a permanent majority. It’s no coincidence that the “pathway to citizenship” they support for the untold millions of illegal immigrants allowed into the country under the Biden-Harris also includes a “pathway to voting.” They want a new electoral base.

What’s been going on these past several months, mostly flying beneath the radar, are massive campaigns to purge voter rolls and new legislation in several states to hold down the vote of any population segment that they suspect might vote against them.

Why the two presidential candidates don’t listen to self-insured managers of health care is a mystery. The reality, though, is that politicians listen to consultants and wonks who have never paid a health care bill for a group of workers.

Four factors are at work that could combine to explode Wisconsin’s already extremely high property tax burden.

Remapped 51st AD is 55% Democrat. But incumbent Republican is running hard.

This Banned Books Week and beyond, tell Wisconsin’s GOP lawmakers that we support Wisconsin students’ freedom to read, and we trust parents, teachers, and our public libraries working together — not politicians — to create the best learning environment possible for our kids.

Last week, our nation observed Banned Book Week, a time when, sadly, we need to pay attention to the number of books being sought by zealots who wish to ensure the rest of us do not read whatever we desire.

This is a historic event. It takes a lot of guts for a Republican to show his or her face in Dane County.

Dane County is the polar opposite of what Trump uses in his rallies and threatens if elected to a second term.

Donald Trump can win the Dairy State by running up the numbers in rural Wisconsin. No recent presidential candidate has achieved such a lopsided victory in rural communities like he did in 2016. But if he wants to replicate that success, he should stick to a policy contest, not a personality one.

We need intelligent, serious leaders who are committed to finding workable solutions, not more platitudes and grievances that may make you chuckle but do nothing to solve problems. For Wisconsin agriculture, Trump was bad enough the first time.
