The day after F.B.I. agents searched his home in Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald J. Trump yet again illustrated his electoral pull on the Republican Party. In a series of primaries in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont and Connecticut on Tuesday — and in a newly conceded race from last week’s election in Washington State — Mr. Trump’s candidates scored victories and his enemies drew defeats, with a notable exception.

MADISON — In late March, Wisconsin and the world got to know Cliff and Yvonne Hooks and their Cliff "Cooks" restaurant in Barneveld.  It was a good story in the midst of a pandemic and governments shutting down communities and states nationwide. Hooks took prices off the menus and only accepts donations to help a growing number of community members make ends meet. “There’s no money — there are people that are not sure where their next meal is coming from and they don’t have money to buy food, and it seemed like a simple solution,” he told CNN.The story certainly...

A Wisconson man who struck and killed a motorcyclist told investigators he intentionally crashed head-first into the victim because he believed all Harley riders are “white racists,” local officials said.

WASHINGTON ― Wisconsin Democrats scored a major upset victory Tuesday when they won a state Senate race in a district that Donald Trump easily carried in the 2016 presidential election. Top Wisconsin Republicans ― including House Speaker Paul Ryan ― acknowledged it was a blow to their party, and it could mean bad news for the GOP in the 2018 midterm elections. “I know this district fairly well. It’s not my district. It’s over in western Wisconsin. But typically, we’ve held this seat. And we lost this seat last night,” Ryan told reporters in Washington on Wednesday. “So yeah, I...

WAUKESHA, WI (WBAY) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump makes his third trip to Wisconsin in a little over a month, rallying supporters in Waukesha County Wednesday night. During a 40 minute speech, Trump blasted his democratic rival Hillary Clinton on a number of issues, focusing on her ties to Wall Street, special interest groups and big money donors. “These special interests totally control Hillary Clinton, she’s their chosen representative. You can disregard anything she says, and just remember that phrase, follow the money. She’s there for only one reason, to protect her donors and collect money,” Trump said. He...

Under Gov. Scott Walker's leadership and the Republican control of Wisconsin's Legislature, Planned Parenthood has weathered a focused effort to diminish its role within the state. But through the sustained battle, the women's health organization has found silver linings. "I think since we’ve been so shut out of state government we have had an opportunity to build stronger local relationships," said Nicole Safar, public policy director for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. Dane County is a prime example of a place where Planned Parenthood works closely with local government to provide sex education and other programming. The local partnership "doesn't make...

The major hotel chains should start running ads targeting the Democrat state legislators who are fleeing their states and being AWOL from their jobs. The possibilities are endless. They could invite the Dems to stay at their hotel, with discreet and fast check-in and check-out. Free high-speed internet for communicating with their public employee Union masters. Can you imagine Tom Bodet's "Motel 6" voice saying that they will "keep the light on" for the Dem legislators? Post your ideas for ads in this thread!

Who needs SNL when you have Democrats?? This video catches Democratic County Supervisor Peggy West showing off her geography skills during a debate whether Milwaukee should boycott Phoenix by proclaiming that : “If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this. But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border.” America, meet the Obama voters. This lady makes Biden...

Republicans in Washington are working overtime to expose Sen. Russ Feingold’s political maneuver to censure President Bush. Tonight, Republican National Chairman Ken Mehlman e-mailed RNC supporters, encouraging them to sign a petition telling Democrats to “stop weakening national security.” This week, liberal Democrat Russ Feingold called on the Senate to censure the President for a program that is successfully stopping terrorists. After months of searching, Democrat leaders are finally beginning to find their agenda: take away the tools America needs to fight terror. In the last 24 hours, fringe groups like MoveOn.org and Democrat leaders from John Kerry to Harry...

My own private FReep (Moving 'living history' to the Fiction section) I did it. I walked into this little discount book store in the Johnson Creek, WI outlet mall and saw a display of the "USA TODAY Top 150 Books" in the front of the store. I saw the always lovley Ann Coulter in the front of the display right next to the always airbrushed hillary clinton. I picked up the always airbrushed book, tucked it under my arm and went on browsing. After making my way to the FICTION section, I placed the book on the middle shelf at...

Relatives say man was angry about abortion When the first of three blue body bags was carried out of the two-story house on N. 39th St. Saturday morning, screams and sobs erupted from the crowd of relatives and onlookers gathered along the yellow police tape. The wailing grew louder when a man emerged from the house cradling the last body bag in his arms. Less than half the size of the first two, this one contained the body of a 2-year-old girl. It was grim confirmation of what those standing in the cold for about three hours had known but...
