There are just too many topics to cover before we break for EAA Airventure, so let’s just do a series of quick hits today: Don’t expect Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson to get Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna’s endorsement in his race for Congress this fall. Hanna didn’t call out Nelson by name yesterday in voicing…… READ MORE

The Right to Die
First off, let me give a shout out to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. In a press release claiming chaos at the Republican National Convention, the DPW cited the My Two Cents blog and my piece this week on the confusion that delegates and attendees must feel with Donald Trump winning the nomination. Glad to know…… READ MORE
Love is NOT All You Need
My eyes are getting sore and losing focus from all the times I’ve rolled them hard while someone says “We need to love each other more” in the wake of another violence or terrorism incident. President Obama has said it. Hillary Clinton has said it. Mayors of cities that have seen attacks have said it. …… READ MORE
The Confusion Convention
For those tuning into the Republican National Convention this week expecting to see chaos as last-ditch efforts to usurp the presidential nomination from Donald Trump clash with his hot-headed supporters, you will probably be disappointed. You will have to be satisfied with every small protest group in the country “clashing with police” outside the convention–as…… READ MORE
Who Will Lead the Way?
In the current vacuum of leadership in the fight against Islamic Terrorism, who will step up to lead the fight? With US President Barack Obama refusing to even identify the enemy and the source of the terror threat, it may be up to our European allies to pick up the flag and engage those who…… READ MORE
Living in a Post-Respect World
Remember when you were a kid and you were playing ball in the back yard and someone would hit or throw it over the fence into the neighbor’s yard? Someone had to make the “walk of shame” over to the neighbor’s house–ring the doorbell–and sheepishly ask permission to get the ball back. We didn’t just…… READ MORE
Just Make Up Your Own Rules
It’s too bad that time and resources preclude everyone in America spending a day with a law enforcement officer at least once in their lives. We see a lot of law enforcement “experts” marching in the streets today–or appearing on the news networks–demanding a complete overhaul of the way we police ourselves. It would…… READ MORE
WARNING!!! WARNING!!!
My wife recently purchased one of those vehicles with a “Collision Alert System”. When a vehicle is too close to the front of the car, a red light comes on the dash and there is a beeping tone to “warn you” a collision is imminent. It also has a “Lane Deviation” feature that beeps at you…… READ MORE
Who Leads Us Out of This?
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, the events of this week bring us to a new level of danger in America. Two more police shootings involving African-American men followed by snipers opening fire on Dallas police during a Black Lives Matter rally overnight have ratcheted up the tension to a 1968-type scenario. …… READ MORE
What Difference Does It Make At This Point?
After two days of listening to regular folks and talking heads argue about “how much the FBI email investigation will hurt Hillary Clinton?” and “how much will the Star of David tweet controversy hurt Donald Trump?” I think we can definitively answer both questions with “not at all”. And you know why neither candidate will be hurt…… READ MORE
