Lakeland Times: Our View
Well, okie doke, Act 10 is headed back to the Supreme Court, and just about everybody — OK, maybe not Francesca Hong, who is still looking for her front teeth — knows why that matters.
Racist tests
Did you know that the SAT is racist? During Woke I, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now calls it, “antiracists” said the SAT’s creators “were avowed eugenicists.” No wonder Black people get lower scores. Even if the test isn’t racist today, it still gives unfair advantages to white kids because their …
Presidential chutzpah
When Truth Social, President Donald Trump’s media mouthpiece, announced that it would be selling advance access to Trump’s posts, I thought they were kidding. I mean, have they no shame? When the announcement met with a round of criticism and Democratic demands that the SEC investigate, I figured they’d back …
From drone to door
There’s a new delivery system in town. Well ... maybe not in your town. In some places, drones are now allowed to deliver small packages, groceries and takeout. Companies like Wing and Zipline bring people hot meals in under 10 minutes.

Escape from Ankara
Last month, President Donald Trump left the summit in Ankara, Turkey in a catering truck. He walked onto the old Air Force One in view of all the cameras, then snuck onto a catering truck to be whisked to a military jet, which flew him to England, where he snuck …
From drone to door
There’s a new delivery system in town. Well ... maybe not in your town. In some places, drones are now allowed to deliver small packages, groceries and takeout. Companies like Wing and Zipline bring people hot meals in under 10 minutes. I had to watch it to believe it. You …
The persecution of a public servant
Anthony Fauci is an American hero. He spent his entire life in public service. He took on impossible challenges — and impossible people. He saved millions of lives around the world. And what does he get for it? A comfortable, well-earned retirement to spend as he pleases with family, friends …
Lakeland Times: Our View
First, let’s begin with the good news. A lot of Wisconsinites are breathing heavy sighs of relief now that the socialist Francesca Hong was sent to the gallows by her own party earlier this week. Many are thinking that, while we eagerly await Tom Tiffany to take office next January, …

Concerns about Indian Mounds
To the Editor: Indian Mounds is sacred, that it is. It is a beautiful, flat, sandy and shallow natural beach since the beginning of time, as noted by the Effigy Mound culture left behind by the Palio Indians 650-1200CE.
Wouldn’t it be nice?
To the Editor: Well, it’s election season once again. It is our opportunity to interview and hire candidates who are willing and able to think creatively and solve problems. Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of being flooded with expensive TV and/or radio ads that make sweeping goal statements or …
Lakeland Times: Our View
Oh, the irony! Republicans have spent years warning that Democrats want nothing less than complete control of the economy. Workers of the World Unite! Cover the Earth! Seize the Means of Production! You get the picture.
Climate crisis
Just two years ago, the United Nations secretary general announced, “Global warming has ended ... The era of global boiling has arrived!” “(We were) warned about this,” said a “Daily Show” host, “by every scientist for the last 50 years!”
Dr. Fauci’s good lawyers
111 times. That’s how many times Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid falling into the perjury trap Sen. Rand Paul was setting for him. Dr. Fauci was not brought in to testify because they needed to know more about what he had said and done in the …
