I think Steve demanded the ball for the most part, and Tyler in there really set the tone.”KyKy Tandy scored 16 points for Jacksonville State (4-7).

Colorado wolf reintroduction in limbo while judge decides on case

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 14:51:18 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.

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

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 14:51:18 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 Sun, 29 Dec 2024 14:51:18 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...

Fox Nation to stream Boston Tea Party reenactment

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 14:51:18 GMT

This Saturday marks a Hub-centric national celebration with the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party – and it’s all being streamed on Fox Nation.This infamous Tea Party came about when, fed up with England’s “taxation without representation,” patriots took to the harbor and dumped tons of tea into the sea rather than see it being taxed.  It was the first volley fired in what would become the American Revolution and make the United States an independent, king-free nation.“They do do reenactments every year. But I think this is a big deal. I mean, it’s 250 years,” said Molly Line, Fox News’ Boston-based correspondent who will be anchoring the streaming platform.“These American heroes, a lot of them still remain nameless today, sent this message not only to show the King of England but to fellow patriots all across the colonies. They’re the ones that stirred this pot that eventually boiled over into a revolution.“And now 250 years later, this is a grand reenactment, a tribut...
