We have brought you the story before that the current round of “education reform” is a myth, that its just a ruse to try and privatize education so certain people can get their hands on our education money! We all know that Scott Walker in his latest budget wants to vastly increase taxpayer money going [...]

When Judge Colas ruled that parts of ACT 10 were Unconstitutional, the Governor was quick to personally attack Judge Colas but never once mentioned a thing to do with his ruling. While the reason for that, is that Judge Colas’s ruling is on very solid ground! This however shows, the immaturity, lack of substance, and [...]

Recently WPRI hack and Herald – Independent Columnist Sunny Schubert wrote a column congratulating Gannett Newspaper for checking the Verify the Recall database, looking for employees, then punishing them. I then responded and pointed out the similarities between VTR and McCarthyism. Sunny,of course, responded in a very distorted way. Instead of focusing on the content [...]

I was recently given the opportunity to sit down with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. Mr. Trumka was very cordial and positive and had plenty to say about the state of the union and what started in Madison and has blossomed throughout the country and the world. Mr. Trumka gladly took all of our questions and [...]

Having spent lots and lots of time at the Capitol, many of the great speakers there keep mentioning recall. Not only of Scott Walker, but also of the republican Senators like Alberta Darling and Luther Olsen among others. While I agree with that, I think people are overlooking somewhere they can make a major impact. [...]

I addressed the fact that Sunny Schubert kept her affiliation with WPRI to herself here, and she addressed it here. Looking between the lines we see that she must be ashamed of many of her co-workers because all she seems to associate with are the “liberals” who also write for WPRI ignoring her right wing [...]

In regards to  this editorial, I sent the following letter: I just wanted to let you know that with today’s ridiculous editorial, If the “budget repair” bill passes, I will be canceling my subscription to your paper.
