Don't buy a car on Sundays, it's a crime

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:29:03 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It's not just Chick-fil-A: Car dealerships are also closed on Sundays. Unlike selling chicken nuggets, it's actually a crime to sell a car in Colorado on Sundays. "Sunday Laws," also known as "Blue Laws," are hardly new. Taking off Sundays was a religious practice upheld over 100 years ago. While this was the original reason for car dealers in Colorado to be closed on Sundays, that's not the current reason, according to Matthew Groves, CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association. Buying a car out of state? Here’s what you should know The decision to stay closed on Sundays has more to do with convenience for both the buyers and sellers than it does with religion. It's more cost-effective for the dealers to stay closed on Sundays, which in turn makes the cars more affordable for the buyers, Groves said. While it may seem like car dealerships are closed on one of the only days you have off, customers actually prefer to look at cars without a seller around. W...

Former UM linebacker who suffered head injury at 9 years old looks for spot on Dolphins during training camp

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:29:03 GMT

Any rookie in any NFL training would tell you that their dream has always been to play on the next level. For one player who is hoping to make the cut with the Miami Dolphins, joining the team holds a deeper meaning. Linebacker Mitchell Agude is grateful to have a shot of playing in the NFL. For Agude, it’s more of miracle that he has this opportunity. “It’s a blessing to be alive in the first place, you know, because previously, as you know, I was in coma when I was nine,” Agude said. Due to a skateboarding accident, Agude suffered from a head injury, which left him in a coma for three days. When he woke up from his coma, he was left with no memory of what had happened. Thankfully, doctors found no signs of a brain injury. “Remember going to the park and then coming back from the hospital,” Agude said. “It was kind of like that, but obviously, my parents had a different vision, different viewpoint of it, and now I see the ramifications lik...

McCaughey: Democrats becoming the censorship party

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:29:03 GMT

A Pew Research poll released July 20 found that 70% of Democrats think the government should restrict what appears on social media, a dramatic change from five years ago when a majority of Democrats supported a free marketplace of ideas.It’s no wonder, considering the drumbeat of warnings from leftist politicians and their liberal media allies about “disinformation” and “misinformation.”But be warned: Democracy cannot survive for long if one of the nation’s two major political parties wants to put blinders on the public, limiting their access to information and canceling political opponents.A House hearing on July 20 held by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government showed that the Biden administration is already censoring social media on a massive scale.Hearing witness D. John Sauer, special assistant attorney general for Louisiana, described preliminary findings by a federal judge that Biden staff in the White House,...

Niger will face sanctions as democracy falls apart, adding to woes for more than 25 million people

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:29:03 GMT

By SAM MEDNICK (Associated Press)NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Economic sanctions could severely hurt one of the world’s poorest nations after a coup unseated one of the West’s last democratic partners against Islamic extremists in West Africa’s Sahel region. Niger’s neighbors are also threatening armed intervention against the junta run by the head of the presidential guard, although analysts say there is only a slim chance of the regional body successfully sending troops.Both the United States and France have sent forces and hundreds of millions of military and humanitarian aid in recent years to Niger, which was a French colony until 1960. The French and the US train Nigerien forces, and the French military carries out joint operations in the north.Since the coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, people have been toting Russian flags and praising that country in pro-junta demonstrations.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Niger in March to stre...
