Former Packers Vice President of Football Operations Tom Braatz passed away this week. For many fans Braatz was a minor character in the franchise’s history, but I would argue that he made a decision that has had the most-profound effect ever not only on the team, but on the City of Green Bay and Northeast…… MORE
The Return of the Constitution
One thing that I have to give President Trump credit for is a renewed interest in the Constitution. Since his election we have had more spirited discussions about the document that lies at the heart of our system of government. I’m surprise the Federalist Papers isn’t at the top of the New York Times Bestsellers…… MORE
Bordering on Madness
I’m sure that some of you pumped your fist or nodded your head approvingly when you heard that the Pentagon is sending 52-hundred active duty military troops to the US-Mexico border in advance of the “migrant caravan” making its way through Mexico. Now that they are there, what do you expect them to do? …… MORE
LUDKE CONVICTED
A MILWAUKEE MAN IS FOUND GUILTY OF CONSPIRING TO HELP ISIS. JASON LUEDKE IS CONVICTED IN MILWAUKEE FEDERAL COURT ON ONE COUNT OF PROVIDING MATERIAL HELP OR RESOURCES TO A TERROIST GROUP. LUEDKE AND A CO-CONSPIRATOR AGREED THAT THEY WOULD TRAVEL FROM MILWAUKEE TO MEXICO AND THEN INTO SYRIA AND IRAQ TO JOIN ISIS. THEY…… MORE
Rising Together
It was Winston Churchill that gave us the phrase “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. Well folks, we have failed to learn our lessons from post-World War I Europe. Based on trends in modern politics, it appears I will have to explain. In the ashes of war-torn Europe–and continuing…… MORE
HIGHWAY 23 REPORT
THE D-O-T RELEASES ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY ON THE HIGHWAY 23 EXPANSION PROJECT. THE STUDY MAINTAINS THAT 23 NEEDS TO BE FOUR LANES DIVIDED BETWEEN FOND DU LAC AND PLYMOUTH TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY. THE PROJECT WAS DELAYED THREE YEARS AFTER AN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP FILED A FEDERAL LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE FINDINGS OF THE ORIGINAL…… MORE
Who’s the Star Here?
After three high-profile campaign appearances by heavy hitters in both political parties, I have to wonder what, if anything, our Wisconsin candidates gained from them. Ostensibly, the visits from Senator Bernie Sanders, President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were supposed to boost their parties’ respective candidates–but if anything, they magnified some weaknesses–and only…… MORE
S%*t’s Getting Real
I hope everyone realizes what happened this week. We saw attempted widespread political assassination on a scale not seen since John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theater, while his conspirators tried to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward all on the same night. That was done with the…… MORE
Protecting the Paint
For the vast majority of us, the white lines are nothing more than paint. A visual representation of the kind of white noise and distractions that we tune out on a daily basis. To those with the lines in front of their homes, they are a barrier to enjoying the full use of a public…… MORE
The Employee Caravan
While President Trump wants to send the military to the Mexico border to greet the so-called “Migrant Caravan” from Central America, I think we should send different groups down there to meet them. Every employment agency and Department of Workforce from the lower 48 states should be on-hand at the border ready to take the…… MORE
