This is a monstrous injustice.Why? Because, obviously, he should have long ago been charged and convicted on hundreds of other occasions. Yes, these misdeeds technically aren’t “crimes,” at least if you’re limiting yourself to the “words” written in “the law.” But it definitely feels like they should be illegal.Here, I’m not talking about the standard felonies committed by every U.S. president, i.e., stealing billions of dollars of our money and pouring it into the pockets of America’s billionaires; presiding over our national gulag; and converting numberless foreigners into scraps of wet, red flesh. Trump did all that and more, but you can’t blame him for...

Child sex abuse law challenged before Colorado Supreme Court

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:40:20 GMT

DENVER (AP) — When Angelica Saupe was 20, she went to police to report that she was sexually abused by her high school basketball coach as a teen but said she was wrongly told that it was too late to pursue criminal charges against him.She got another chance to pursue her claim last year after state lawmakers allowed childhood victims of sexual assault to sue their alleged abusers and employers. But now, the Colorado Supreme Court is considering whether the law violates the state constitution. Colorado homes are getting smaller and more expensive The court's justices heard arguments Tuesday from a lawyer representing Saupe as well as Aurora Public Schools, which Saupe sued under a law that took effect last year that opened up a three-year window for people to pursue litigation for sexual abuse they suffered as children dating as far back as 1960. The law is part of a national effort to make it easier for victims to seek justice later in life after they have had time to come to ter...

Denver mayor's race centers on crime, housing, homelessness

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:40:20 GMT

DENVER (AP) — As Denver faces a rising crime rate, growing homeless encampments and dizzying housing costs, voters on Tuesday are expected to whittle down an unusually large and divergent field of 16 candidates for mayor — including a former boxer, an investment banker, a state lawmaker and a former Crenshaw Mafia Gang member.The fear that undergirds the wide-open race is clear. Denver — the fast-growing, relatively young, business and tech hub of the U.S. Mountain West — is tumbling toward a fate similar to that of other major cities.“The San Franciscos or the Portlands or Seattles ... have not been able to turn the tide on things like homelessness and affordable housing and public safety,” said candidate Mike Johnston during a recent debate. Denver Election Results 2023: Results go live starting at 7 p.m. Johnston, a former state senator, is among candidates seeking the political post as Denver’s CEO, a position that has become a stepping stone for ambitious politicians.Former M...

LOVELAND, Colo. (KDVR) – You can tell how much David Landers thinks about World War II by his book shelf. It’s overstuffed with scrapbooks, filled with photographs and memories from his time at war.“I knew flying is what I wanted to do,” Landers, 100, told FOX31.At age 19, he left his Wyoming home and headed off to war, joining the Army Air Corps. Soon, he found himself behind the controls of a B-25 bomber, piloting a dozen bombing runs over the Pacific while stationed in Okinawa, preparing for a possible invasion of Japan. Thankfully he wasn’t injured.“All we got was bullet holes in our plane,” he said. Greeley woman who served in WWII named Hero of the Month When the war ended days after two nuclear bombs were dropped over Japan in 1945, Landers soon was headed back home, though with some regrets.“I should’ve stayed in the Army, but I didn’t.”He also wished he’d kept flying. He never flew a plane again after the war, though he wishes he had.“But my wife didn’t think so,” he joke...

Colorado homes are getting smaller and more expensive

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:40:20 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Colorado housing development is not only getting denser - homes are shrinking, as well, despite costing more than ever.The Centennial State's growing population over the last decade stressed the housing market as the number of units being built failed to meet demand. Prices exploded as deep-pocketed investors, buyers and renters moved in and less wealthy residents were pushed out. ‘Meth contaminated’ condo in Denver could be yours for $252,000 Across the state, local and state elected officials have promoted a vision of a more tightly packed and highly stacked population to bring housing prices back down toward Earth. Since 2016, the housing market has already naturally led to smaller Colorado homes. The St. Louis Fed tracks the median home size in Colorado by square foot since 2016. Homes were largest in July 2016 and June 2017 - between 2,530 and 2,570 square feet. Since mid-2017, home size has been reduced. By February 2022, the median size for a Colorado home ...
