Opinion: With the White House as a set, Trump will settle his score “Apprentice” style

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:42:31 GMT

Hell hath no fury like a man who believes he’s been scorned.This twist on an old, sexist adage, however, is no joke because the man is Donald Trump.The Republican frontrunner is not hiding what he’ll do if elected for the second time to the most powerful office in the land; he’ll make it more powerful in order to trample on constitutional rights.Voters should be clear that Trump doesn’t just admire Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin, he wants to be them.Our Constitution means nothing to the man who says out loud that he wants to terminate the document upon which American democracy gets its oxygen.That suggestion alone is enough not to vote for Trump.But let’s look at other reasons for rejecting the authoritarian wannabe.He’s boasted about granting pardons to himself and anyone else convicted in connection with the January 6 bloody riot.Therefore, pardons will flow faster than the mighty Mississippi if he is sworn in on January 20, 2025.Don’t look for Trump’s second inaugural address to ...

Avalanche Journal: Are middle-six centers Ryan Johansen, Ross Colton an upgrade from JT Compher, Alex Newhook?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:42:31 GMT

Avalanche fans can spend the 2023-24 season paying attention to an extended game of 2-on-2 hockey if they want to risk torturing themselves.Ryan Johansen and Ross Colton vs. J.T. Compher and Alex Newhook. Note: The four contestants will be playing separately, in three different cities, across seven months.The Avalanche’s 2022-23 second-line center, Compher, moved on in unrestricted free agency this offseason. The team traded away the rights to its third-line center, Newhook, who negotiated his new contract with Montreal. Rather than run it back with last year’s fulcrum in the middle of the lineup and in the middle of the ice, the Avs went in a new direction.They emerged with Johansen (likely 2C) and Colton (3C) via trades.If the decline from Stanley Cup champs to first-round losers stemmed from the disappearance of forward depth behind Nathan MacKinnon, then Colorado’s bounce-back hopes reasonably hinge on whether Johansen and Colton turn out to be upgrades.Especia...
