Championship seasons don’t go unnoticed by All-Star voters. And this year was no exception.

All laws are ultimately enforced by the threat of death, so supporting any law is admitting you would be willing to kill people over an opinion. Using laws to solve problems is like...

A flag spotted with black paint was first raised on the campus July 5.
