MIKE BROWN

Election deniers who were unable to succeed at the polls last year have targeted the one political post that depends entirely on the most hard-core of Republican voters — state party chair.

In a basement event space in the Denver suburb of Parker, Tina Peters surveyed a crowd of Colorado Republicans last week and made an unusual pitch for why she should become chair of their beleaguered party: “There's no way a jury of 12 people is going to put me in prison.” Peters was referring to her upcoming trial on seven felony charges related to her role in allegedly accessing confidential voting machine data while she was clerk in western Colorado's Mesa County. The incident made her a hero to election conspiracy theorists but unpopular with all but her party's hardest-core voters.

Bedford County Sheriff Mike Miller announced Thursday he’ll be running for a second term.

Republicans narrowly chose a former Kansas secretary of state candidate who promoted election conspiracies to lead it for the next two years.

(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)Golden State coach Steve Kerr was supposed to be in Tokyo for the Olympics this summer. Then again, Kerr isn't certain if he or anyone else from the NBA will be there at all. FIBA pushed back the dates for the four remaining qualifying tournaments to June 29 through July 4, 2021, meaning they would end 19 days before the rescheduled start of the delayed Tokyo Olympics. Toronto coach Nick Nurse is scheduled to coach Canada in that qualifying tournament and, he hopes, the Olympics. Nurse, Popovich and Kerr surely arent the only coaches wondering on this point.

Mike Sena argued that to successfully address substance abuse in our communities, the public safety community needs real-time data.

BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. – It’s the end of an era in Bedford County as longtime Sheriff Mike Brown will step down Tuesday after more than two decades on the job.

Researchers on Wednesday described the first published findings from the Parker Solar Probe, a spacecraft launched in 2018 to journey closer to the sun than any other human-made object. The findings, offering fresh details about how the sun spawns space weather, are reshaping astronomers understanding of violent solar wind that can hamper satellites and electronics on Earth. The probe eventually will travel within about 4 million miles (6 million km) from the suns surface, seven times closer than any previous spacecraft. The probe has endured extreme heat while flying through the outermost part of the suns atmosphere, called the solar corona, that gives rise to solar wind - the hot, energized, charged particles that stream outward from the Sun and fill the solar system. They carry a tremendous amount of energy.This will dramatically change our theories for how the corona and solar wind are being heated, Kasper added.
