Confederate statues are coming down across the country as Americans grapple with national conversations about racism in the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman.
Schools have focused more on surface problems and less on treating the fundamental problems of delivering quality education to a very needy population of students.
Although many Americans continue to see Russia as the United States' greatest foreign policy challenge, I believe the Communist Party of China (CCP) poses a far greater threat to our national security in the long run.
In this election cycle, many globalist Democrats are supporting policies that push narrow corporate interests at the expense of American workers.
Rep. Jim Steineke, Kaukauna Republican, the Assembly majority leader correctly noted, "The Wisconsin State Capitol is under attack and the damned Governor of our state can't be bothered to denounce the behavior, make a statement, call in the Capitol Police or National Guard?"
It's not by the crack of an Antifa bat that our nation's history and national identity will fall. It's by the appeasing good natures of the graduating classes. By the appeasing smiling graduation masses taught to believe feelings trump all.
It was never going to be easy for any sport to return with a pandemic of historic proportions still raging. There's still way too much unknown about how the coronavirus spreads for athletes to trust anyone -- even the experts -- with their lives. And as the rate of infections rises in states across the country, the question has to be asked. Is the rush to play this year really worth it?
Now that the spread of COVID-19 has slowed and the curve has "flattened" it's time for policymakers to come up with ways to bring the economy back to where it was before the lockdowns imposed by so many of the nation's governors knocked it flat on its back.
So-called white privilege permitted me to forfeit a career opportunity with NASA back in the '70s. The reason? I neglected to comply with an interviewer's encouragement to pitch my race as Hispanic. Hmm, perhaps I should have taken a page from Sen. Elizabeth Warren and embraced a specious minority identity for employment. Did I naively squander that opportunity due to a hollow, self-contorted truth? After all, truth is relative now, right?
It is inarguable that the Black community has suffered. What happened to George Floyd was horrific and cannot be justified. There have been all too many instances of awful aggression against the Black community.
The angry and the demonstrating are loud and visible; their opponents are angry and quiet. The election will reveal not just who is more numerous -- but sadly also who is the angriest.
A military service can be many things. It may focus on preparing for big wars or small ones; battles abroad or closer to the homeland; doing nearly everything pretty well or specializing in doing fewer things extraordinarily well.
The U.S. Supreme Court needs to accept the PennEast case for review and reverse the mistake of the appellate court. If we want a reliable, clean and affordable energy future, we must allow for a national gas pipeline system.
Decent people do not want America turned into a war zone in the name of anti-fascism, anti-racism or any other anti-ism. To think otherwise is the pinnacle of stupidity.
HB1228 creates a grant program that will increase access to satellite-based broadband in areas of the state that currently lack access.
Despite what you hear from some, the polling in the 2020 elections is very likely not broken, biased or wrong.
I am amazed at the efforts around the country to remove and destroy painful mementos of our history. When a statue is erected to a historical figure, the erection is a statement about the balance of the person's life worth. It is not a claim of perfection.
What did we think would happen once boundaries were destroyed? The chaos plaguing the country today was inevitable after truth, standards and self-control were all but ignored by many in our society.
Reforms that will reign in the misuse of the police as well as the tactics and strategies employed by police agencies that don't understand this are long overdue.
If there is really a silent majority, it will not represent a mandate for Mr. Trump. Quite frankly, many Trump voters in November will personally despise him, but will instead be voting against the radical left.
