Immigration Successes
With Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign underway, the GOP is accelerating its lies about her work as Vice President. Though responsibility for the southern border rests with the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, they call Harris a failed “Border Czar,” deliberately mischaracterizing her early presidential assignment – to address the root causes of migration – while obscuring her accomplishments.
As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on 6/12/24, VP Harris’ 2021 “Call to Action” has triggered major commitments from ...

Preserve Democracy, Please Vote
Mrs. Juntti was my 1st and 2nd grade teacher in a small elementary school in northern Wisconsin.
Mrs. Juntti gave me some of the greatest gifts I could ever receive. She taught me to read which opened my world to all the amazing things in life!

WALLS
Robert Frost said it first and clear enough: “Something there is that doesn't love a wall.” His walls were stony ones, upended and broken by frosty, heaving ground. The walls I do not love are stony too, built not on pastureland, though, but in the hearts of men and women. These heart-stone walls, held fast by a mortar mix of fear and a very human bent for being right and those different, dead wrong. We, thus, protect our neat and tidy interior lawns from the invasive and rambunctiously threatening swamps and woods beyond our perimeters. This tangled, ...

Climate Change is Here, Wisconsin
For decades, enthusiasts have flocked to the Northwoods of Wisconsin during the winter to take advantage of everything Wisconsin has to offer.

On one side of our political debate, politicians are still claiming that climate change is caused only by the cyclical nature of the environment; while on the other side, they admit that humans have a large role in creating this upward spiral of ...
Creating the Greatest Economy Ever?
Donald Trump boasts of creating the greatest economy in America’s history. Yes, the economy was strong during his first three years as president, but doesn’t credit belong more to the strong economy Trump inherited from President Obama than his actions in office?
Remember that, after rescuing us from Bush’s financial crisis, Obama’s first term saw a stunning economic recovery that continued for a decade, with steady employment and wage growth, and inflation that never exceeded the Fed’s 2.0% goal. When Trump took office, inflation was a mere ...
