After a week in which American free speech on the airwaves appeared in peril, the minds behind “South Park” took an opportunity to reiterate that they will not be censored. In their newest episode, entitled “Conflict of Interest,” co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone once again skewer the federal government for its recent actions, this time bringing Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission, into the fold. Carr made headlines last week after broadcast networks ABC and Disney suspended late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for comments its titular host made about the death of media personality Charlie Kirk. (Kirk…

A Centennial office building that was once the headquarters of a Fortune 500 company is being demolished less than a quarter-century after being built. The 9201 E. Dry Creek Road building, which was home to Arrow Electronics until last year, is being knocked down by crews from American Demolition. Built in 2001, the approximately 125,000-square-foot structure sold for $24.9 million three years later. Arrow Electronics, an electronic component firm, leased the whole building in 2014, a few years after moving its headquarters to Colorado from New York. The building sold again in 2019, for $40.1 million. Arrow moved out in mid-2024, leaving…

SomePlace Else Brewery is going someplace else. The owners of the Arvada brewery are adding two locations of the self-proclaimed “brewcade,” where patrons can enjoy pinball and Skee-Ball alongside a pint. The first will open in the former home of Thornton’s Mother Tucker Brewing, which closed at 2360 E. 120th Ave. in May. Tori Miller, who opened SomePlace Else with husband Ryan Parker in 2016, expects to open there by the end of the year, barring permitting delays. The second new location will open at 520 Zang St. in Broomfield sometime in the spring, she said. “Ever since COVID, it felt like…

If the Broncos let go of who they think they are, they will become who they should be. As another forgettable September fades into memory, the Broncos rank as a disappointment. When they got walked off for the second straight week last Sunday, the frustration was blended with a lingering question: What is their offensive identity? Three games into the season, nobody seems to know what the Broncos do well, and it places pressure squarely on coach Sean Payton to figure it out. Especially as it relates to the run game and wide zone blocking scheme. Throughout training camp, Payton…

By JOSH BOAK, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was the victim of “three very sinister events” during his time at the United Nations on Tuesday and that the Secret Service will be looking into the issues. The president was attending the U.N. General Assembly, where he gave a speech excoriating the institution for having squandered its potential. He also criticized U.S. allies in Europe for their handling of the Russian war in Ukraine and their acceptance of immigrants as he told fellow world leaders that their nations were “going to hell.” On his…

By MICHAEL CASEY, Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge in Rhode Island ruled on Wednesday that it’s unconstitutional to require states to cooperate on immigration enforcement actions to get funding for disasters, which is overseen by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A coalition of 20 state Democratic attorneys general in May filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the Trump administration is threatening to withhold billions of dollars of disaster-relief funds unless states agree to certain immigration enforcement actions. In a ruling granting a summary judgment to the plaintiffs and denying one for the federal government, U.S. District Judge…

A tax tiff between the City of Manitou Springs and the cog railway atop Pikes Peak has reached new heights, with the city now claiming it was tricked into giving the railway generous tax breaks and the railway claiming the city is trying to triple its tax rate as a punishment. The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which is owned by the Anschutz Corp., dates to 1891 but its dispute with Manitou Springs has its origins in 2017, when the rail line closed for repairs and renovations. The city and railway negotiated a tax incentive deal then. Their 50-year agreement…
