Kafer: Far right and far left are wrong on Ukraine

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:36:11 GMT

“While it is not a mainstream position within the Republican Party, it is becoming a contested position,” Dominik Stecuła, professor of political science at Colorado State University, told me. Should it become a majority opinion within the GOP, it will be disastrous for the party and the nation. That’s why I’m weighing in on the necessity of American support for Ukraine in a space normally reserved for Colorado issues.The far right is wrong to oppose funding for Ukraine’s defense. They contend NATO pushed Putin into making an understandable preemptive strike against a potentially hostile neighbor whose pro-west bias and desire for self-determination are the result of western machinations. Some even suggest that Ukraine rightfully belongs to Russia.They are mistaken. Ukrainian nationalist sentiment germinated under Russian czars and Ukrainians fought a war of independence between 1917 and 1922, the loss of which resulted in seven more decades of Russian domination. Today, Ukraine, li...

Avalanche Journal: Mikko Rantanen’s ring finger taunt belongs in a different conversation from his referee bickering. One is good.

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:36:11 GMT

Last Saturday, Mikko Rantanen taunted opposing fans by gesturing to his finger, reminding the Dallas Stars he has something that only exists in their imagination – a Stanley Cup ring. On Sunday, Rantanen complained about a call that only existed in his imagination.One is good. The other is bad. Regardless, they belong in separate conversations.Rantanen’s temperament has received attention around the hockey world throughout the past week, for two different reasons that have been conveniently stuffed together because of timing.First, there is his one occasional flaw: The player known locally as “the moose” often lowers his antlers at the referees. His habit of arguing calls tends to become exacerbated by losing streaks, and it came to a head last Sunday when Rantanen was called for his second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in as many days. It led to a constructive reprimanding from coach Jared Bednar.And it was all a misunderstanding.Rantanen had been entrench...

Cannabis Industry Waits for New York Sales Numbers

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:36:11 GMT

As state recreational markets have rolled out in recent years, one of the big moments is the first release of sales numbers. So why haven’t we seen that data in New York yet?Because they’ve only been able to get three dispensaries open in three months. Some argue the data would show just how badly they messed up the launch by opening one dispensary at a time. While the state recently approved another group of operators that will put the statewide dispensary count north of 60, there is still a lot of work to be done. Currently, it would take nearly five hours for someone on the Canadian border to get to the state’s first operating dispensary outside of the city, Just Breath located in Binghamton.And it’s not just a geography game, it’s a numbers game, too. Currently, New York has about one dispensary per 6 million people. And there are only about 25 cash registers for 20 million people. Once the latest set of dispensaries that received state approval open, it will be roughly one disp...
