Hello. Thank you for making us part of your day. We know the week can sometimes feel like a juggling act. That’s why we like to slow things down a bit on the weekend and ease into Saturday with a simpler “scroll down memory lane.” It’s a look back on the pages of history and events that have happened on this day before we head out into this new one. So, grab your favorite sippin’ drink and let’s scroll! On

President Biden is coming to Wisconsin next week.  The White House announced on Friday that Biden will be in the Madison area on Wednesday.  He’ll make the case that his economic plan is creating good-paying, union jobs, and delivering and delivering what his administration calls “real results for the American people.”  Biden will be in Madison the day after he delivers his State of the Union address, which is expected to tout job growth, rising wages, and what he’ll describe as “record
