  • Are Madison insurrectionists getting off lightly?

    Compared to Trump’s January 6 rioters! When Dostoevsky wrote about crime, he made certain to include punishment. Sure could use a man like Dostoevsky in Madison WI these days. (Or even Herbert Hoover, as Edith and Archie would sing.) The MacIver Institute did some journalism on the Black Lives Matter riots on Madison’s State Street…

  • Tony Evers gets softened up

    Sī vīs pācem, parā bellum, the Roman philosopher advised. “If you want peace, prepare for war.” The philosopher of Stately Blaska Manor amends that advice: “If you want peace, put plenty of law enforcement boots on the ground.” We’ve said before, Tony Evers is as responsible for burned-out Kenosha and Kyle Rittenhouse as the rioters who…

  • Can we elect a sheriff who won’t stand down?

The Federalist poses this unique perspective: “Democrats yell ‘Do Something!’ on guns while their prosecutors and policies create our culture of…

  • How hard-core Left can Madison go?

    ‘Her name was Magill and she called herself Lil [but] everyone knew her as Nancy.’ The Werkes revises and extends its remarks on the nuthouse called the Madison school board — but we do not yield our time. We did not give What’s-Their-Pronouns their full due in the last thrilling episode. We’re talking about school board…
