Voters in Colorado’s 3rd District assess Lauren Boebert in wake of “Beetlejuice” controversy

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:34:12 GMT

PUEBLO — U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s removal from the audience at a performance of “Beetlejuice” at Denver’s Buell Theatre last week for inappropriate behavior caught the attention of voters in her district.But whether the incident will be a deciding factor at the ballot box a little more than 13 months from now is uncertain. Several voters in a small pocket of Boebert’s sprawling, largely rural 3rd Congressional District told The Denver Post this week that the events earlier this month in Denver are just part of a larger mix in how they view the Republican congresswoman.“What happened in her personal life is unfortunate, but at the end of the day, it has no bearing on her legislating,” said Christy Ruckus, a Pueblo Republican who is all in on Boebert in 2024. “I’m not concerned — peoples’ memories are short.”Boebert was escorted out of the Buell Theatre on Sept. 10 after patrons around her at the “Be...

Why can’t Americans buy cheap Chinese electric cars?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:34:12 GMT

By Kyle Stock | BloombergEV variety is easy to find outside the US. Where American drivers now have about 50 electric cars to choose from, Europe’s array is almost double that, and China’s nearly triple. With that variety come more small and midsize options, and more cars with price tags that won’t break the bank.Ask any US automaker and they’ll say this is mainly a profitability problem. To pay for investments in electrification, carmakers are first focusing on trucks, SUVs and other premium models. That same tension is at the center of the United Auto Workers strike, which is pitting factory workers looking to preserve pay and benefits in an EV world against carmakers who say they can’t go electric, meet union demands and stay in the black.A model stands next to the newly launched BYD Atto 3 car during the Auto Expo 2023 in Greater Noida on January 11, 2023.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:34:12 GMT

SANTA CLARA — I don’t think Christian McCaffrey heard himself say it.The line was a toss-away, a quick cliche amid a post-game press conference the 49ers’ running back wanted to end:“We expect to win every game.”That statement struck me, and it has stuck with me since I walked out of Levi’s Stadium Thursday night.Why can’t the 49ers win every game?It’s probably too early for proclamations like this. I know this is going to anger plenty of Niners fans who think I have hexing powers. But I can’t shake the idea, and I cannot ignore the feeling.So, I’m going to plant the flag right now with the boldest prediction I’ve ever made in this space:The 49ers will go 17-0 this season.And before you ask, yes, I really believe this. I honestly wish I didn’t.Could this go wrong in a million different ways? Of course.Is the modern NFL built for such success? Absolutely not.Is this an aggressive stance after three games, all against o...
