Officials in the city and county of Denver, Colorado, asked Texas border towns to distribute flyers aimed at discouraging migrants from traveling to the Mile High Sanctuary City after crossing the border from Mexico. Denver officials asked the border communities to distribute flyers saying the city is out of resources to take care of migrants and that low-cost housing is unavailable. Matthey Mueller, the executive director for the Office of Emergency Management for the City and County of Denver, sent an email to officials in Texas communities of Brownsville, El Paso, Houston, and Dallas advising that they “can no longer...

You have to at least give the Colorado Education Association (CEA) points for brazen candor. At its 97th Annual Delegate Assembly in April, the state’s largest teachers’ union voted to formally oppose capitalism as an economic system. The announcement came as little surprise to Coloradans who’ve watched as the union has veered so far to the left in recent years it’s now off the road entirely. What should set off alarm bells for everyone, however, is that CEA believes its militancy no longer has to be denied or defended. A former Denver Public Schools teacher took to Twitter on April...

One year ago, on December 16, 2008, a tragedy struck the CyFair Christian Church family with the passing of the 13-year-old junior high student, Nicole “Lillyh” Lalime, after being hit by a drunk driver. This is a tragedy that most still remember vividly and deal with on a daily basis. But just as “Lillyh’s” vibrant personality and giving soul touched us in life, she brought out some of the best in the members of CFCC with the sharing of her passion in her passing.

Updated Want to score one of the tickets to Senator Barack Obama’s speech next month accepting the Democratic nomination in Denver? You won’t have to pay, but you may have to work for it, according to the Obama campaign. In an interview with The Denver Post, the deputy campaign manager Steve Hildebrand indicated that the price of admission to the speech would be a pledge to volunteer and recruit new voters on behalf of Mr. Obama.“We’re going to ask those 80,000 people in that stadium to march out of there and go with very specific instructions and goals to register...

Barack Obama's campaign is considering moving his nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention from the Pepsi Center convention hall to Invesco Field at Mile High to accommodate the uncredentialed masses, sources say. The move would mark a major departure from tradition, but would be in keeping with the candidate's desire to build a large grass-roots campaign focused on "change." It also would leave behind the multi-million-dollar broadcast studios, media offices and high-tech podium and stage to be constructed at the Pepsi Center.

Coloradans have no commonsense. Within one year we reelected a financially incompetent, liberal Ken Salazar, then raised our own taxes and legalized marijuana. What is wrong with my neighbors? Well, they want to smoke pot and pay more taxes. One problem explains the other. Drug abuse is a large cause of liberal thinking. This is proven historically as we look at the ‘60s and ‘70s. Drug abuse and modern liberalism are synonymous. Person becomes rebel. Rebel smokes pot. Pot affects mind, causing liberal thinking. Liberals raise taxes. Its simple! Fortunately state and federal law will ensure that nothing in Denver...

Passenger hangs himself on Heathrow flight A passenger hanged himself in a club-class lavatory on a transatlantic flight after enjoying a final meal with champagne. Fellow travellers watched in horror as a doctor flying on the Heathrow to Los Angeles British Airways jumbo jet tried to save the man. The middle-aged passenger, believed to be Swiss, killed himself after tying his belt around a handle designed for the disabled. Cabin crew forced their way into the lavatory after the door had been locked for up to half an hour and there was no answer to their knocking.
