Prosecutors in Minnesota are adding charges in the case that saw four people left dead in Dunn County. They filed more charges yesterday against Darren Osborne.

All of the Wisconsin counties with ‘critically high’ coronavirus activity are small counties, and more than half of them are in the western part of the state.  Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services yesterday said eight counties are now in the ‘critically high’ category.

Wisconsin’s state superintendent is blaming lawmakers for shortcomings in the state’s schools. Superintendent Jill Underly delivered her State of Education speech yesterday and scolded lawmakers for what she said was too little school funding and too much meddling.

They are calling it a ‘medical event.’ Harry Potter star Tom Felton fell to the ground after yesterday’s celebrity golf outing at the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan. He was able to stand afterwards but was later carted-off the course. No one is saying anything about just what happened. Fans watched the whole thing, and some were very emotional. Felton, of course, is best known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Potter movies.

President Biden’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan is not polling well with most Americans.  A Marquette Law School Poll of adults nationwide show the president received a 36-percent approval rating and a 63-percent disapproval rating for the handling of the withdrawal.  However 74-percent of the same respondents supported the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from that country.  In regards to the Afghan refugees 58-percent support admitting as many to the United States as possible while 42-percent are opposed to

Health officials are urging people to get their flu shot as soon as possible. Officials at UW Health remind Wisconsinites today that COVID-19 isn’t the only virus of concern with the coming of winter.  Doctors say getting a flu vaccine is never just about you it’s about protecting the people around you.  There’s also some concern that levels of both the flu and COVID could run high at the same time.
