President, Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty. The views expressed here are my own.
The Milwaukee Brewers were never called the Braves. The former Milwaukee Braves still are called the Braves, although in Atlanta. jsonline.com/story/opinion/…
Ed Feulner built institutions in support of American values. The Heritage founder lamented the right’s turn against free markets and U.S. global leadership, writes @Mike_Pence on.wsj.com/4eZvmli
This is absolutely true.
“The young Republicans in Washington may not know it, but they are spending down the intellectual capital stockpiled by Ed Feulner and his generation.” Yep wsj.com/opinion/edwin-… via @WSJopinion
I will say, however, that a project like this is NOT the type of racialized view of the world that are the basis for objections to "DEI" and "CRT." jsonline.com/story/news/edu…
Congratulations to @WILawLiberty & @RickEsenberg - they do such important work ... wsj.com/opinion/wiscon…
He's got a point. The only places where people prefer mass transit is where density makes movement by car extremely difficult. I'm sorry but Milwaukee, for example, isn't even close to being that kind of place.
The urban planner world is awash with people who believe in a conspiracy theory wherein a convoluted system of laws pushed by the auto industry has made us car dependent while also impeding the adoption of mass transit. It never occurs to them that many people just prefer cars.
Had a lot of fun recording this one with @RickEsenberg — give it a listen!
🚨Big changes are happening at the Wisconsin Supreme Court! In Episode 4 of the “If You Can Keep It” podcast, @RickEsenberg & @ltvebber break down the court’s new direction. Don’t miss their take on everything from the 1849 abortion law to the ongoing redistricting fight. ⬇️
From Feulner and Pence: "Rather than uphold the long memory of the British colonists, who were suspicious of monarchical government's abuse of power, populism clamors for more centralization in Washington to work our will for the common good. Rather than Edmund Burke's belief…
Many conservatives (and others) think women deserve the the opportunity to enjoy and learn from sports. That is an entirely different question from how one spends one's entertainment dollars. I think ballet is a very worthwhile activity that dancers enjoy. But it's not my thing…
The WNBA should be expecting substantial pay increases given how much conservatives say they support women’s sports. I would imagine merchandise, tickets, and ad sales are off the charts with all the dollars flowing in from supportive conservatives.
It is not "wrong" or "unfair" that WNBA players get a smaller share of league revenue. The league loses money. You can't share what you don't have. You don't "owe" players money when the product isn't profitable. If that changes (due to, say, a larger TV contract), then the…
Here's a pretty good analysis of the legal status of Trump's defamation suit. Based on what we know today, he can't win. But he may have the power to extort a settlement. And therein lies the problem. Someone as powerful as the President doesn't have to have a good case. The…
Racially restrictive covenants have been unenforceable since the 1948 decision of Shelly v. Kraemer. (The article is wrong; it's referring to the later proscription of them in the Fair Housing Act.) We examined their impact on racial segregation in the second MPS desegregation…
Over the weekend, Ed Feulner, founder of the Heritage Foundation passed. I can think of no better tribute than to share a recent piece he wrote with Mike Pence. Absolutely outstanding. nationalaffairs.com/publications/d…
Fair season continues at the Waukesha and Fond du Lac County fairs! Grateful to meet so many neighbors.
10 in a row for the Brewers. My sister and I own a George Webb's in Franklin.
NPR and PBS are "run by unhinged, supercilious extremists, who give no impression of even having been to the country that they have been charged with covering. I don’t want to pay for that ..." Accord. nationalreview.com/corner/pbs-and…
