Colorado wolf reintroduction in limbo while judge decides on case

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:59:30 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — A federal judge in Denver heard arguments for and against a lawsuit filed against the state as Colorado prepares to reintroduce gray wolves to the Western Slope.No decision was made on the lawsuit Thursday, but both sides are hoping to hear something soon, as the process to bring wolves back is set to begin in days."What happened in the courtroom this morning was a last-ditch attempt at the eleventh hour to block the voter-endorsed, scientifically-based return of wolves to the state of Colorado," said Michael Saul, Defenders of Wildlife.Supporters of Colorado's plans to reintroduce gray wolves believe the lawsuit looking to delay the process of reintroduction lacks merit. Ugandan military colonel charged in Colorado humanitarian’s death The litigation claims the state and federal government did not do enough to ensure livestock and ranchers are prepared for the reintroduction. Stockgrowers on the lawsuit said they brought the lawsuit now to give Colorado Parks and ...

Editorial: Teachers fall short as ignorance fuels antisemitism’s rise

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:59:30 GMT

There’s an epidemic of ignorance surging through America, and it’s especially virulent among the young.As we’ve seen played out on campuses and public spaces recently, impassioned but clueless youth are weighing in on the Israel-Hamas war without a hint as to the history of the region and its people.The buzzword du jour is “colonizers,” applied to the Jews in Israel. Even if students weren’t privy to extensive classes on world history, how have they not been taught that Jews are indigenous to the region, going back thousands of years? In a little over a week we’ll be celebrating Christmas, marking the birth of a Jew in Bethlehem, Judea over 2,000 years ago. Jesus was not an outlier, nor a European.Biblical history aside, there are enough non-sectarian historical records and archaeological evidence supporting the fact that the Israelites made their mark millennia before 1948.But students are lacking this knowledge, and more. As The Hill repor...

‘Poor Things’ a rich cinematic feast

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:59:30 GMT

Who would have guessed that Greek fantasist Yorgos Lanthimos (“The Lobster,” “The Favorite”) was the new James Whale? His latest piece of darkly comic, sexually twisted whimsy is called “Poor Things,” featuring a great Emma Stone of his award-winning 2018 semi-historical effort “The Favorite,” sporting a long shock of J-horror black hair, as a Victorian-era female creature that a mad scientist brings back from the dead by diabolical means. It’s “The Bride of Frankenstein” without the groom.Stone’s she-monster Bella Baxter is the brainchild of Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). She just calls him “God” for short. Godwin is a recluse with a horribly scarred face and the son of a monstrous father, who mistreated him terribly as a child. But Godwin has nonetheless become a brilliant surgeon and scientist who gives hilariously gruesome lectures at a university and hires a student named Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef) to take care of Bella and teach her things.Godwin, Bella and Mc...
