Respect for the dead is a universal value — or so we thought.  Across Wisconsin, small family cemeteries are protected with care.  Yet for Native burial grounds, the Kohler Company and Sheboygan city leaders are ready to bulldoze that principle – literally.   Kohler plans to build a luxury golf course in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on land eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and home to Native burial mounds.  A federally mandated 2018 study discovered human remains in seven locations on the course plan.  Since the courts revoked their wetland ...

WHAT’S LEFT

What kind of message are we sending to our children and the world when we elect, as President of the United States, a convicted con-man and serial liar, with multiple bankruptcies and failed businesses?

It seems at times Like the world has been turned upside down. The very idea that Republicans could nominate someone for President, or that we would elect someone, who openly praises Communist dictat...
