Speeches by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris blame Donald Trump for coordinating the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Harris went so far as to compare Jan. 6 to Dec. 7, 1941, and Sept. 11, 2001. Certainly, bad events in American history, but Pearl Harbor and the Twin Towers united America. Why, because Americans felt that we were attacked. Jan. 6 is similar to the Biden administration in the fact that it did not unite America in a common belief.
“If we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money. That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting,” then-President Donald Trump said to Fox Business on Aug. 13, 2020, as he openly described his/the GOP plan to disenfranchise voters during the 2020 election by starving the United States Postal Service’s budget.
You may or may not have known our mother, Jeanne Waschbish, personally, but you may have met her on occasion or heard her name mentioned. In our humble opinion, Jeanne was a pillar of the community. She started her journey of community involvement in 1974 when she accepted a position at Cook Memorial Library and continued her work when the library moved to its new location on Main Street. She continued to volunteer at the library after her retirement in 2005.

“We can never know about the days to come, but we think about them anyway … So I’ll try and see into your eyes right now and stay right here, ’cause these are the good old days.” — Carly Simon, “Anticipation”
Carly Simon’s song about the difference between anticipation and reality comes to the wonderful conclusion that reality can be pretty darn good when you get right down to it.
These are the good old days: Now, you can take that at least two ways.
The American Society of Civil Engineers heralded President Joe Biden’s Nov. 15 signing of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill as “a historic bipartisan achievement that represents the largest investment in our nation’s critical infrastructure in a generation or more.”
Two years ago, a Madison East High School teacher chaperoning a Minneapolis field trip crept into students’ rooms using copies of their room keys and planted hidden cameras in their bathrooms.
On Nov. 22, a few weeks after the teacher, David Kruchten, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, the Madison School Board finally updated its field trip policies to prohibit chaperones from holding on to student room keys.
In early October, we finally got a glimpse into the Biden administration’s approach to trade when Ambassador Katherine Tai outlined a “New Approach to the U.S.-China Trade Relationship.” Tai made clear the intention to maintain several policies from the previous administration, including keeping hold of tariffs and zeroing in on enforcement. The stated difference in the new approach is to simultaneously build out more collaborative efforts with our allies.
Studies that show facemasks are effective have one or more of four flaws:
• They only look at N95 or better, not surgical or cloth.
• They look at clinical, not community settings.
• They don’t look at wearing them for hours at a time.
• They’re so badly designed any data accumulated by them is suspect.
Studies that are free of these flaws consistently come to one of two conclusions: Facemasks make no statistical difference, and facemasks increase infections.
In recent years, Wisconsin’s two public research universities, UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, have aggressively and strategically built a faculty roster with a wealth of expertise in some of the world’s most cutting-edge and crucial fields.
