Trump: Loose cannon, or loser cannoneer?

Running for President, or first-ever candidate who quit the race to win PR-generating, self-inflicted political martyrdom?

Doubling down or going down?

Keeping his tax returns secret and getting rid of potential four years of 24/7 woke way above his pay grade?

Or in all scenarios, maybe both?

Trump refuses to support Paul Ryan, John McCain in upcoming Republican primaries

Don't think Trump's nonendorsement of Ryan will hurt the latter.

Since state Repubs. voted for Cruz over the Donald, chances are they'll vote for Ryan on Aug. 9 and not the Tea Party challenger.

Considering Paul Ryan's opponent is head over heals for Trump, I don't think he has to worry. I only hope above all that he loses in November, but in his gerrymandered district, that's not likely. A lot of Republicans would have to cross over and vote Democratic for that to happen. The same would have to happen to get rid of Robin Voss in his gerrymandered district.

What water, wetland protection is all about

"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.
