Juneteenth v. July 4

Juneteenth is possible because of Independence Day. The radicals pushing the 1619 Project and critical race theory would likely beg to differ with this statement, but the facts make a compelling case.

Rebecca Kleefisch has my endorsement for the next governor of Wisconsin

Rebecca Kleefisch became the first Lt. Governor to win a recall election on June 5, 2012. They went after her for the same reasons they went after me: we did not back down from doing what was right. Even though she had to stand for election on her own during that recall, Lt. Governor Kleefisch won with more votes than we had gathered during the normal election less than two years earlier. Voters saw that our common-sense reforms worked - and they are still working today.

Joe Biden, the disinformation president

President Biden has no shame. Speaking to graduates at the U.S. Naval Academy last weekend, he claimed that he received an appointment to Annapolis in 1965.

It’s the economy, stupid

Joe Biden is an incompetent fool

When he was Vice President, officials in the Obama White House would excuse his comments by saying, "that's just Joe." As President of the United States, however, Mr. Biden's gaffes have much larger consequences around the world.

The transgender indoctrination in our nation’s schools

"IF YOUR PARENTS AREN'T ACCEPTING OF YOUR IDENTITY I'M YOUR MOM NOW," read a poster posted by a high school teacher in the Eau Claire Area School District. The sign has a mother bear with several cubs around her including one with the images of a gay pride and another with the images of a transgender pride flag. This is just one more example of how radical agendas are undermining parental rights and putting students at risk.
