Senator Ted Cruz is a Republican Senator from Texas, and running for President. In Texas, before the primaries, the major papers made their endorsements.
The people who know Ted Cruz the best, have decided that they would endorse - Anyone but Ted Cruz!!!
Ted Cruz is so hated that even his home state newspapers will endorse anyone but him and what they had to say about him is absolutely embarrassing.
Despite being the only presidential candidate from the Lone Star State, the three major newspapers in Texas refused to endorse the Tea Party Senator, citing his dangerous agenda.
“The freshman senator has demonstrated a frightening willingness to push the American economy to the brink of disaster to pursue his ideological agenda — even when he clearly does not have the votes to get his way…The freshman senator’s methodical run for the White House is obviously well-planned, but Cruz’s self-centered approach has thoroughly alienated even his Republican Senate colleagues. And that is obviously a recipe for a weak, unsuccessful administration. He lacks the temperament to be president.
As we all know, Scott Walker has been the subject of not just one, but two, John Doe investigations.
The first John Doe, commonly known as Walkergate, was brought on by Walker's stonewalling of an investigation that his office had asked for. This investigation ended up with the convictions of six of Walker's top aides and allies. What is often overlooked is that there were also more than a score of people that were granted immunity in exchange for their cooperation.
Another thing that came out of the first investigation was the fact that even greater crimes were being committed by Walker and his associates, leading to the second John Doe investigation. We could see by the documents released by the courts as the right wing have fought for the past year to kill John Doe that Walker and his campaign were not only running another caucus-like scandal, but were collaborating with third parties funded by dark money special interests.
[State Rep. David] Craig [R-Town of Vernon] said he does not have any specific changes in mind yet, but he wants more safeguards to ensure that targets’ identities are protected until and unless they’re charged. At the same time, Craig said lawmakers and the public should be able to find out how much such investigations cost.
“I think we are talking about a serious reform of the statute but maintaining it as a serious tool for district attorneys and law enforcement in general,” he said. “I think that there’s a way to protect people’s identities while it’s going on while also protecting prosecutors’ tools but also have a level of transparency.”
Craig said he also is exploring whether there should be limits to the duration and scope of John Does. The investigation targeting Walker’s campaign and associates when he was the executive of Milwaukee County was launched by Democratic Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm in 2010 and did not conclude until 2013.
The fact that WISGOP wants to stop John Doe should surprise no one. They've been talking about it for as long as they have been fighting it in court.
Besides, it makes intuitive sense that they would want to do this - all criminals wish that law enforcement would be greatly limited if not ended altogether.
Support voluntary student-initiated prayer in school
We will continue to work for the return of voluntary school prayer to
our schools and will strongly enforce the Republican legislation that
guarantees equal access to school facilities by student religious
groups.
We strongly support voluntary student-initiated prayer in school
without governmental interference. We strongly disagree with the Supreme
Court’s rulings against student-initiated prayer.

Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, of Burlington, wrote to
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson Thursday asking
that Wisconsin not be considered a site to temporarily shelter
unaccompanied immigrant children who are crossing the border, mostly
from Central America.
The letter, posted on the Wheeler Report, was also signed by
Republican Assembly members John Nygren, of Marinette; Joel Kleefisch,
of Oconomowoc; and David Craig, of Big Bend...
The legislators ask if there's a limit on the number of immigrants
that would be housed in the state and the liklihood the minors will be
deemed refugees, which could mean getting public assistance.
They also express concern about the potential for the minors to permanently reside in Wisconsin.
Housing these minors will result in a "significant strain" on local
and state budgets and impact both public education and health system,
the letter said.
It asks that the decision to locate unaccompanied minors in Wisconsin be reconsidered.
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put
him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn
and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom
of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,
God Bless Us everyone.
