Sen. Ron Johnson’s re-election campaign is slamming his Democratic opponent, Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, for his record on guns and ammunition as being more in line with California than the Badger State. Barnes served two terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly before he was chosen as the running mate to now-Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. In 2013,

Stamford Public Schools were recently locked down when police received a call alerting them to a threat of an active shooter.

Dear Thoreau, Salutations from my outpost in the Pacific Northwest.  I can imagine you snug in your cabin at Walden Pond.  I know you’ve only received one or two letters in your life that you considered worth the postage, and I’m not sure this one will reach up to the standard you’ve set, but I

Drive down Quindaro Boulevard through Kansas City, Kansas, and you’ll see a series of dilapidated storefronts and small, single-family homes. The roads and sidewalks are chipped from years without maintenance and signs for businesses that have long-since closed dot the streets. The area is part of Kansas House District 35, which makes up the northeast
