Reader is nauseated over media’s ‘predictable’ mantra of chaos caused by ICE
To the Editor: Perhaps it is understandable, understandable that a political party with the means and opportunity, would use its power and authority to insure survival. Knowing that newly arrived immigrants, legal or not, would favor the entity offering this open invitation, “Biden world” ignored immigration law. Democrats willfully removed …
Uncommon criminal: The perp walk President protected from prison
It wasn’t enough last week for Americans to stomach the global humiliation of watching an untethered president babbling about “taking” territory from a NATO ally, or listening to his hourly cascade of lies about everything, from the sacrifices the allies he dissed had made on our behalf or the latest …
Jack Smith
Jack Smith finally got his chance to defend his investigation publicly in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. Smith is a dinosaur by this administration’s standards. He is the polar opposite of Pam Bondi, which should be a frightening thought. He is a career prosecutor who doesn’t play …
Lakeland Times: Our View
There has been no shortage of news stories in recent weeks about the coming November elections and the battle for control of the Wisconsin Legislature. Republicans are fighting to hold the Assembly. Democrats are making an all-out push to flip the Senate. It’s a good bet right now that each …

The C-SPAN of Wisconsin must be saved
A bright light went out at the state Capitol last month. Lawmakers should plug it back in, with help from the public. WisconsinEye, an independent nonprofit, stopped broadcasting gavel-to-gavel coverage of legislative floor sessions, press conferences, public hearings and more from the statehouse and across Wisconsin.
The Insurrection Act
President Donald Trump made the threat, where else, on Truth Social: “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who are only trying to do their job, I will institute …
What’s the matter with Minnesota?
Minnesota? Somalis? Nine billion dollars in alleged welfare fraud? To understand what’s going on from a distance, it helps to understand basic culture. Minnesota was settled largely by people of Scandinavian and German ancestry.
Lakeland Times: Our View
It is apparent these days in contemporary America that there is one consistent standard, and one consistent standard only, and that is the existence of an explicit double standard: Democrats and big government bureaucracies can never be held accountable for their wrongdoing, as average citizens are, and government players can …
Tricia McLaughlin defends ICE’s visible presence
There is still chaos surrounding Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, and nowhere is the anger more palpable than in cities like Minneapolis.

Letter challenges officials’ accounts of Good killing
To the Editor: The reaction of our country’s leaders to the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent has put their complete lack of character in crystal clear perspective. Even if someone takes the highly dubious position that the shooting by Jonathan Ross was justified, there is no …
Liars and thugs: A homicide showcases the shattering of America’s conscience
On the one hand, thank goodness there are videos. But on the other, America’s current leaders couldn’t care less what the videos show. They are prepared to say anything at all with a straight face, and there remain millions of Americans happy to believe what these leaders tell them rather …
School choice is expanding for Wisconsin families
When some people think about K–12 school choice, they often picture families in large metropolitan areas touring dozens of schools in search of the right fit. That certainly happens, but education options for families in Wisconsin and across the country are continuing to evolve.
Jan. 6 deniers
When he entered the camps for the first time, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, confronting the horror, insisted that photographers create a full record of the atrocities, lest future generations deny that it had happened. Which hasn’t fully stopped the deniers.
How Trump finally buried the Iraq syndrome
Something crucial happened with President Donald Trump’s recent actions in Venezuela. In fact, taken together with his earlier moves abroad, they mark the substantive death of what might be called the “Iraq syndrome” — a paralyzing mindset that has distorted American foreign policy for more than two decades.
