Sen. Herb Kohl no friend of American workers

Upon his passing, Herb Kohl has received well-deserved praise for his dedication and service to Wisconsin. 

But it also should be noted that like the rest of his Democratic colleagues in Congress, he was no friend of the American worker.  During his 24 years as our U.S. senator, his immigration voting record produced a disappointing “D” grade from NumbersUSA, the Arlington, VA-based...

Immigration makes Earth Day a cruel joke on Americans

Beginning next year, I suggest we celebrate Earth Day on April 1 rather than the traditional April 22 given that it is a fool's errand to continue pretending we care about the environment while our population continues to explode thanks to a decades-long policy of mass immigration.

How are we supposed to "reduce our carbon footprint," as the legions of pseudo-environmentalists...

Wisconsin journalist rambles on about immigration

Mimi Wuest writes a column called "Nature and Society" that appears in the Reedsburg (WI) Independent, a small town weekly that carries the sort of news one sees in such communities.   In a nutshell, she's usually all over the place when it comes to subject matter.

Unfortunately, the "Indy" doesn't maintain a web site, so there's no way to link to her philosophizing.

Mark Pocan's Coronavirus hypocrisy

Mark Pocan, who "represents" me in Congress, sarcastically tweeted that Vice President Pence's appointment as the nation's "Coronavirus czar" made him "feel safer already."   For Pocan's information,  President Trump created a task force a month ago to deal with this crisis.  To be sure Mr. Pence has no medical background, but that shouldn't preclude him from overseeing the work of those who...

Sovereignty issue puts Founding Fathers in the same league as Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un

Lee Enterprises columnist Pat Nash, who often writes about American politics, said because the Founding Fathers advocated national sovereignty, this puts them in the same league as Adolf Hitler, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un.

She made this comparison in a January 5 email to me after I expressed concern that our national sovereignty is in danger of being...

Mark Pocan: Master of deceit on immigration policy

Rep. Mark Pocan continues to leave his constituents guessing as to where he stands on the nation’s federally-created immigration crisis.

On record as supporting the doubling of annual legal immigration to more than 2 million people as well as the number of guest workers, amnesty for nearly 11 million illegals and, oh, yes, ending credible enforcement of our immigration laws by...

American Legion continues to drag its feet on illegal immigration

The American Legion, the nation's largest veterans organization,  published in May 2007 its 35-page "Policy on Illegal Immigration, A Strategy to address Illegal Immigration in the United States."

Since then, I haven't seen any public statements from the Legion asking why our inept federal government has not come to grips with a reckless and irresponsible public policy that affects...

American Legion remains silent on illegal immigration

The American Legion, the nation's largest veterans organization, published in May 2007 its 35-page "Policy on Illegal Immigration, A Strategy to address Illegal Immigration in the United States."

Since then, I haven't seen any public statements from the Legion asking why our inept federal government has not come to grips with a reckless and irresponsible public policy that affects...
