Something must have gotten into the La Valle water supply because I again find myself agreeing with Art Naebig; this marks the second time in the past few weeks.

One of my nearest and dearest friends once said dealing with problems is like peeling an onion: It’s messy, stinky and probably involves some crying.

That’s why you deal with one layer at a time.

John D. Rockefeller, one of the wealthiest men in the world, was asked how much money was enough. He said, “Just a little more.” he answered.

Downsizing generally leads to a reduction in costs, but that is often not the case for school districts. Across Wisconsin, many school districts are faced with declining enrollment, but costs aren’t decreasing. In addition, not only is enrollment declining, inflation is impacting school districts just like it is impacting your family.

The human rights organization Amnesty International has issued a nearly 300 page report concluding that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.  Israel and the United States have both rejected this accusation.

One fact you learn after meeting enough people is that most of us grew up in meager households.

It could be because we live in a small town or rural area with many farms; these families usually don’t have a lot of cash to burn. This is especially true right now with inflation challenging even those who normally make a good living.

Let this be a season of gratitude and generosity. Every one of us has a lot to be thankful for, even as the tax bills come and the ground freezes solid. Look around at the world: All the refugees, all the famine, all the bombings, all the droughts and floods.

Many Americans are disturbed by President Biden’s pardoning of his son, especially since (He begs your pardon) declared publicly that he wouldn’t.

Democrats are now defending that action, citing the fact Trump has said he would pardon the ‘January 6th political prisoners.’

I recently read a quote attributed to Danti Alghieri "You were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge". In the past months, Art Naebig's (among others) political diatribes have been very perplexing as the subject(s) of the writings leaves one to ask to whom they are referring to.

A victory was won for Wisconsin workers with the overturning of the 2011 law, ACT 10, on Monday. The judge's ruling will be appealed but we hope the Wisconsin Supreme Court will rule similarly.
