Use of Federal Troops
Presidents have always been careful when forced to send federal troops into America’s cities and states, and only did so when there was a breakdown of law and order or when constitutional rights were being violated by state and local governments.
In 1957, Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas national guard and sent 1,200 federal troops to enforce the Brown v Board of Education decision which proclaimed segregation was illegal and mandated integrated schools.
In 1965, Democrat Lyndon Johnson federalized the Alabama National Guard and sent 2,000 ...
Do Your Research
The November election is just 3 1/2 months away. In ads and speeches, candidates for elected office often talk about their hometown roots to convince citizens they will serve their wants and needs. In two of his ads our current district House of Representative member and candidate for Governor Tom Tiffany plays on this theme.
It is noteworthy then that Mr. Tiffany called on a Texas based group to help him oppose a conservation project, the Pelican River Forest easement, that was designed to protect natural
resources in three northern Wisconsin counties.

The Art of The Bad Deal
“He's all hat and no cattle" is a quip Jim Hightower uses to describe feckless, blowhard politicians. Google AI says this old Texas colloquialism means someone who “talks a big game, acts showy, or makes grand promises, but lacks the actual substance, wealth, or capability to back it up.”
Donald Trump's foreign policy, especially with the Iran war, is all bluster and bluff with no substance or positive results. He is all hat and mouth but no cattle.
The U.S. and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to allegedly end the war. But this is not a ...

BECAUSE THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MANY THINGS HAPPENING AT ONCE
Because there can never been too many things happening at once:
For those of you who have been following the progress of Tom Tiffany’s bill to rename our unique Lakeshore Park to a National Park, the House tacked it on as an amendment to the Budget which passed last week.
Despite strong local opposition by County Boards, Municipal officials and local citizens, including a resolution from the Red Cliff and local Bayfield citizens, Tom Tiffany is pursuing this thru the federal budget process-sneaking a small funding under the "new" name. The ultimate goal is clearly ...
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
“How have you, your family or your community been impacted by war.” This was the question Veterans for Peace and Northland Grandmothers for Peace asked the public on Memorial Day.* They gathered 175 statements.
Most of the responses discussed the loss or suffering of a family member. Some were about war diverting resources from important human needs. Some expressed pride in military service and said war was necessary to protect the country. Some feel complicit in the immorality of war and a personal need to work for peace.
Here are some of the anonymous, unedited ...

Does Preamble to the Constitution Still Speak to Us
The six goals of the preamble to our Constitution are: To form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. In our day, we seem to have lost the serious consideration of those goals. We tend to go from story to story in the constant pursuit of the most up to date “news” without taking the time to consider our foundational goals. Where do we fit in the broader picture of American history? What is our position in the continuing story of our ...
