More than 10,000 migrants have made their way to Denver since December, but on Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the first bus of arrivals that the state of Texas directed to Denver.Republican governors across the country, including Abbott, have been transporting migrants who arrive in their states to other Democratic-led states and cities as a political statement while large numbers of migrants continue to flee their countries to the U.S. seeking asylum. Although hundreds of asylum seekers, mostly from Venezuela, have been coming to Denver each week by way of El Paso, Texas, since early December, the migrants have come on commercial buses, seeking assistance to get to their final destinations.Colorado’s state and local officials have previously said that recent arrivals were not a result of political moves by GOP leaders and that the migrants were traveling to Denver on commercial buses, not coordinated by any state entities.That is, until now.In a statement posted o...

The opportunities for hosting the G20 meeting in Jammu and Kashmir

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:20:40 GMT

The G-20 delegates could see for themselves what Jammu and Kashmir have been through because of the conflict which was primarily being ignited, coordinated and sustained from somewhere else. Blaming someone for its dirty intrigues and machinations (cross-border terrorism) is one thing, but presenting documentary evidence of that complicity as is available in ground zero, is lending credibility to the charge.“Conflict is development in reverse.” This finding of the World Bank makes a very strong case for development itself also being a very potent antidote to conflict. So, G20 is again a platform to present to the world how developmental processes and welfare initiatives are being used to negotiate and overcome hardships created and sustained by a prolonged conflict in the region. All these suggestions no doubt sound quite simple and rudimentary; but it is also true that in international politics, people, sometimes, by thinking and aiming for big goals and outcomes, tend to...

Bill would require cars to keep including AM radio

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:20:40 GMT

As AM radio gradually fades into irrelevance, a bipartisan bill has been introduced by lawmakers requiring carmakers to keep including AM radio in vehicles.The question is why.Backers of the AM for Every Vehicle Act, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, say AM is crucial for emergency alerts, especially in rural areas."Each day, millions of Americans turn to AM radio to stay up to date on life in their community, engage on the issues they care about or to be simply entertained during rush hour," Cruz said in a statement."AM radio is a critical bulwark for democracy, providing a platform for alternative viewpoints and the ability for elected officials to share our efforts with our constituents," he said, tipping his hand about the broader agenda possibly at work here.AM radio has long taken a back seat to FM and, increasingly, satellite radio and streaming services.Ford told the Washington Post that less than 5% of listening by its drivers was to AM stations.Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Tesla, V...
