So President Trump wants to have a big military parade through Washington, DC this summer. This isn’t a totally unprecedented thing. Doughboys marched through the streets of major cities before heading off to Europe to fight in World War I. There were huge military parades after GI’s returned from World War II.

Becoming More Like “Us”
One of the complaints that you hear in the debate over modern immigration is that “they don’t try to assimilate into ‘American culture’”. I too find it annoying that I have to “press 1 for English” and I feel that governments and private companies printing documents or packaging in multiple languages is a waste of…… READ MORE

I believe that if our current attitudes toward the role of Government in the free market system had been held throughout the history of our country, American cities would still be full of blacksmith shops, buggy whip plants and wagon wheel makers. That belief was bolstered by the email titled “Kimberly Clark Announcement Proves Walker-Trump…… READ MORE
What Is It Going To Be?
While it has been open for two months already, the Menominee Nation Arena celebrates its “grand opening” today. The rushed nature of its construction and initial missed deadline for completion prevented any sort of celebration before this–so they will have the local dignitaries on-hand today to cut the ribbon and give folks a tour of the…… READ MORE
No, You Man Up
The UW-Oshkosh Foundation remains bound and determined to make sure that Wisconsin taxpayers get stuck with the bill for their financial irresponsibility.
