Abortion rights are under siege—everywhere from Poland to Wisconsin.
The problem with most conspiracy theories is that they presume too much competence on the part of the conspirators. The same may be true when it comes to President Trump's alleged quid pro quo with Ukraine. As Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., put it, "What I can tell you about the Trump policy towards the Ukraine is that it was incoherent ... They seem to be incapable of forming a quid pro quo."
Janesville welcomed our hockey Jets almost 10 years ago, and the response was and continues to be positive. The community and businesses have supported the organization, and Jets ownership and the young men on the team have weaved themselves into the fabric of our city.
"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!" Those were the introductory comments of sportscaster Jim McKay years ago on the TV program "Wide World of Sports."
Regarding the man lying in Monterey Park, he definitely needs a love patrol to bring him food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and show him kindness and love. Here is a man with a soul who is very mentally ill. Here is a man who is in desperate need of the milk of kindness and love were he ev…

While Democrats pretend to care about stopping foreign interference into our elections to preserve the integrity of our democracy, they conveniently turn a blind eye to their own election meddling. The rest of us can see with our own eyes.
One of the most durable conspiracy theories of our times finds Vladimir Putin recruiting a billionaire media personality named Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency. In some iterations of the tale, Trump is willingly serving his Kremlin comrades; in others, he is merely the victim of kompromat…
The public impeachment hearings were barely underway when Jim Jordan, the GOP’s attack Chihuahua, began to yap about the whistleblower. Where’s the whistleblower? Why can’t we question the whistleblower? Bring in the whistleblower! Who’s the whistleblower?
To be fair, the justice system needs to be based on rules and procedures that ensure people serve time only for the actual offenses they are convicted of. So why is the Department of Justice now, apparently, engaging in a process that will keep people in jail longer depending on the amount o…
It is disgraceful when those who commit war crimes go free and those who expose war crimes are in prison. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange truthfully published content that the American people should know. The founders of our nation put freedom of the press in the First Amendment. Without kn…
Just as the Indiana Dunes finally has achieved national park status, Washington insiders are trying to cash in on all the parks by commercializing them to the max.
I’d like to personally bop over the head the next Democrat who says that Michael Bloomberg shouldn’t be running for president because he’s a billionaire. Let’s give thanks that a simple-minded dismissal of rich candidates didn’t sink FDR’s chances.
The Milton Courier reported Oct. 31 that Milton area school taxes are going up 25.6%.
This week, The Atlantic released its newest issue, provocatively titled "How to Stop a Civil War. "Leading its collection of essays is a fascinating piece by Yoni Applebaum. In it, Applebaum posits that at the crux of America's vitriolic politics lies demographic change: "The United States i…
Predicting how the U.S. Supreme Court will decide a case based on the questions the justices raise during oral arguments is a fraught endeavor, but the tenor of those exchanges Tuesday morning did not bode well for supporters of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Chief Justi…

In June 1987, President Ronald Reagan stood before the Berlin Wall at the Brandenburg Gate and uttered those iconic words that shook the world: "General Secretary Gorbachev ... come here to this gate … Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" They had been repeatedly removed from his draft speech by nervous State Department bureaucrats, but Reagan kept putting them back in. And just 2½ years after Reagan spoke them, that wall came down.
Tens of thousands of parents take advantage of Wisconsin’s school choice program in order to provide a better education for their children. If Gov. Tony Evers has his way, though, that choice will be taken away from them.
I was once again amazed by the entire cast of the Musical at Parker High School in conjunction with Craig High School. In addition, several students from other schools played vital roles as well.
Below-freezing temperatures, with lows in the single digits, are predicted for early this week across Wisconsin.
Thumbs up to Adulting 101 classes at Hedberg Public Library, to naming government center after retiring Walworth County administrator, to Janesville Boys & Girls Club's academic plans, to matching gift challenge.
The (mostly) charming family movie “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” is about a divorced father living alone in his posh Manhattan digs. Unexpectedly, he receives two boxes of penguins, and chaos ensues. But the 2011 film has a not-very-subtle subtheme: the prominence of future President Donald Trump …
School is in full swing, which means that some lucky students are about to undergo an enormous, transformative experience. It does not involve a test.

Monday could be one those days that help determine the course of Janesville’s future. The city council will consider approving a recommendation to anoint the Janesville Mall as the preferred location for a $33 million indoor sports complex, giving city officials the OK to pursue negotiations…
Anyone claiming to be a journalist must possess the soul of a cynic. As a member of the fourth estate for more than four decades, I have developed a thick skin in addition to the ability to find a dark lining in any silver cloud.
On Veterans Days, we honor the ones who are with us that served and pay respect to that sacrifice. As a husband, father and Marine veteran, it means something a little different to me. When I first transitioned out of the Marines in 2007, being a veteran was really the last thing I wanted to…
The lesson of the 2019 state elections confirmed the lesson of the 2018 congressional midterms: Donald Trump can stage all the demagogic rallies he wants, but he’s powerless to reverse the GOP’s hemorrhaging in the populous suburbs.
Last week, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, a group that has often infiltrated news organizations to uncover liberal bias, released an explosive “hot mic” video of “Good Morning America” co-host Amy Robach venting about ABC’s decision to spike a story about late serial sex predator Jeffrey E…
Nov. 11 is Armistice Day when hostilities ceased in the “The Great War,” which killed 20 million people. Twenty years later, a second world war would claim 50 million lives.
