Opinion: Coloradans deserve a fair election, not one tainted by a lawsuit to keep Trump off the ballot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:31:04 GMT

Six Coloradans, including four Republicans, aided by a national leftwing activist group recently filed a lawsuit in Denver District Court, seeking to compel Secretary of State Jena Griswold to disqualify Donald Trump from Colorado’s presidential primary ballot.The lawsuit is a meritless legal ploy that rivals John Eastman’s hare-brained scheme to hijack the Electoral College for Trump’s benefit. It should be summarily dismissed.In today’s political climate, too many activists believe the ends justify the means, especially where Donald Trump is involved. But the right to due process applies even to murderers and rapists so it surely applies to Donald Trump, too.As a Republican who desperately wants my party to end its cultish relationship with the 45th president, I know that legal shenanigans only tighten Trump’s parasitic grip on a large segment of the GOP.The lawsuit claims that Trump is guilty of “insurrection” and therefore should be disqualified from the ballot under the 14th Am...

Preview: ‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage’ is a throwback to the original with modern twists

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:31:04 GMT

Life has finally come full circle for “Assassin’s Creed.” The series that began as a sequel to a “Prince of Persia” project and turned into Ubisoft’s flagship franchise is finally returning to a setting close to the original.“Assassin’s Creed Mirage” is a prequel in several senses. It follows the origins of Basim Ibn Ishaq, an important character in “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla,” and it’s set a few centuries before the original game in an area of the globe that echoes the story in the Holy Land.It’s almost like a linchpin bridging two eras of the franchise together. Unlike the previous trilogy, “Mirage” resembles the first game in more ways than one. In fact, the main team at Ubisoft Bordeaux said it’s an homage to the title that started it all in 2007. That’s evident in the gameplay and the focus.“Assassin’s Creed Mirage” plays more like a game from the Ezio e...

Birth of Route 66 in 1926 was tied to creation of the U.S. interstate system

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:31:04 GMT

Road enthusiasts, history buffs, and nostalgia fans are gearing up for the 100-year anniversary of historic Route 66 in 2026. About 345 miles of the historic 2,400-mile highway pass through Southern California and there are plenty of fascinating historic sites left to see along the old route.While Route 66 may be the country’s best known, and most nostalgic highway, it wasn’t the nation’s first cross-country highway, or the first interstate highway.Often referred to as the nation’s “Mother Road,” Route 66 was officially designated in 1926, and the iconic road signs that marked the route were posted in the following years. The western portion of the route was essentially overlaid onto National Old Trails Road, which was established in 1913.National Old Trails Road was created from a collection of existing roads and historic trails that were patched together to make up a new highway that cut a rambling path from New York City to Los Angeles. This trailblazing automobile road became kn...

Opinion: Should noncitizens be allowed to vote? Some think that’s nutty

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:31:04 GMT

Should noncitizens be allowed to vote?That sounds a little crazy, doesn’t it? Weren’t we taught growing up that the right to vote belongs only to full-fledged, passport-eligible citizens of this country?Nonetheless, the movement to expand immigrants’ voting rights is gaining ground.We pay taxes, immigrants say. We run businesses. We send kids to public schools, drive the roads, ride the subways and fight in America’s wars. We are stakeholders in our communities and shouldn’t be excluded from the decision-making process that affects us.There’s currently a bill before the New York City Council to let legal permanent residents vote in municipal elections — up to and including mayoral elections. Since 2018, San Francisco has allowed noncitizens to vote in school board elections, regardless of whether they’re in the country legally or not. Chicago allows it for school council elections.There’s no question that noncitizen voting rights is a radical notion. It’s understandably worrisome to...

Broken pin in landing gear discovered after jetliner landed in Southern California, came to rest on engine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:31:04 GMT

WASHINGTON  — Investigators say a pin broke inside the left landing gear of an Alaska Airlines jet that came to rest on one of the engines after landing in California last month.The two pilots on the Boeing 737 discussed the need for a “firm” landing during Tropical Storm Hilary, and the captain felt a “firm jolt feeling” when the plane touched the runway at John Wayne Airport in Orange County.Data from the plane indicated, however, that the touchdown force was within the airline’s limits, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report Monday.The pilots told investigators that cockpit indicators showed both main landing gear and the nose gear were in the down and locked position. After the plane landed, the captain told the co-pilot that it felt like the plane had a flat tire on the left side, and the crew noticed the plane listing to the left.Passengers are escorted off an Alaska Airlines plane after its landing gear collapsed while touching down Aug. 20 at J...
