Republicans are gearing up for what could be an epic showdown for majority control of the Senate with several contentious elections around the country later this year.

Riley's murder has sparked a national outcry and fresh debate over the Biden border crisis, with his critics pointing to her case as just one of all too many examples where illegal immigrants take advantage of Biden's lax policies as well as those in Democrat-run sanctuary cities, and end up victimizing people in the process. ...

A Wisconsin school district has been thrown into turmoil after its superintendent called his jurisdiction “lily” white and a district principal a “bitch” on a hot mic recording. Dr. Claude Tiller Jr. resigned from his position as Green Bay schools chief after a controversial appearance on an Atlanta radio show that rankled local board members and others in the community. During a break in a radio program that airs on WAOK, Tiller was heard referring to a district principal as a “witch” and a “bitch” on the show’s still-broadcasting webcam and asserting the white woman was unfairly targeting a student...

'You have to have blinders on to not see that there have been problems'... WHITEWATER, Wis.—The migrants began to trickle into Whitewater, a sleepy town of 15,000 an hour west of Milwaukee, toward the end of 2021. Prior to their arrival, local news and political debates generally revolved around school fundraisers or the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater's D3 athletics. Today, residents are focused on their 1,000 new neighbors, who mostly hail from Nicaragua and Venezuela and largely keep to the shadows because they lack official identification. Locals say the real number of migrants in the town could easily be double the...

Tuesday marks Wisconsin’s spring primary — the first election in what is shaping up to be a busy 2024 electoral year. The election, to narrow the list of candidates running for nonpartisan county, municipal and school board seats in the April 2 general election, is typically a low-key affair, as few races draw enough candidates to require a primary. In Dane County, there are just five races on the ballot, meaning voting will take place in only a few dozen polling places.

Just when we thought the extent of the federal government's censorship had been fully revealed, an entirely new industry has been exposed as a partner in burying dissent and subverting the First Amendment. This time, we're learning the National Science Foundation (NSF) worked with academic institutions — including the University of Michigan, the University of Wisconsin, and others — to censor "misinformation" online through Big Tech platforms and search engines. Alarmingly, they're using new artificial intelligence technology to do it. This means studies and data coming out of universities can no longer be trusted. Grants depend on promoting a government...

Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher is facing intense criticism from Republicans in his district and around the state following his vote this week against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — with some on the right flank of his party calling for a primary challenge. Gallagher joined three other House Republicans and every Democrat Tuesday evening in voting against impeaching Mayorkas for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. He argued that Mayorkas' performance has been a "disgrace" but that Mayorkas' actions have not risen to the level of crimes necessary for impeachment. He warned that impeaching a cabinet official could set...

Trump-aligned GOP consultant Alex Bruesewitz is weighing a primary bid against Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) over his decision to vote against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a person close to Bruesewitz first shared with The Hill. Bruesewitz weighed running for Gallagher’s seat last year amid speculation that the congressman would mount a Senate challenge against Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), but Gallagher ultimately opted against running for Baldwin’s seat. Gallagher’s vote against impeaching Mayorkas may have changed that. The person close to Bruesewitz noted that the consultant lives in Palm Beach but is from Gallagher’s district. The person said Bruesewitz...
