Some of B.C. Conservative leader's critic picks questionedDenver’s Democrat Mayor is promising to use the city’s police and to organize private citizen demonstrators to block the enforcement of federal immigration laws in his city. “More than us having [Denver police] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Mayor Mike Johnston said. Democrats Look to Flood Country with Migrants Ahead of Trump Inauguration; Guest John Binder “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment,” he exclaimed, comparing Trump’s enforcement promise to China’s government’s 1989 massacre of Chinese democracy advocates. Apparently fashioning himself as some sort of modern-day John C. Calhoun, Johnston says that he will press the city police department and “community volunteers” into his own little confederate army to take up the fight against ICE officials. Johnston insisted that he is not going to give up his sanctuary city policies and won’t be “bullied” by the incoming Trump administration. “We’re not going to sell out those values to anyone,” Johnston told the Denverite, according to Fox News. “We’re not going to be bullied into changing them.” Then he issued a stern warning. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun,” he reportedly said. “You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. You don’t want to mess with them.” This is the same mayor who defunded his police department to pay for more freebies for illegal aliens. So far, the Denver Police Department has not commented on Johnston’s plans to turn its officers into his new nullification shocktroops. The mayor is not the only radical, left-wing official to openly call for resistance to federal law. The city council of far-left Los Angeles also jumped in to defend “sanctuary city” status this week with a unanimous vote to fully implement the policy in the crime-plagued city. The vote was called as an effort to signal to the Trump administration that officials there would resist federal authority on immigration issues. A number of left-wing governors from deep blue states have also made their fealty to illegal immigrants obvious by similarly announcing plans to resist ICE and any efforts to repatriate millions of illegal migrants. The list includes Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Washington State Gov. Bob Ferguson, and others. Boston’s radically woke Mayor Michelle Wu also vowed to resist Trump’s policies. Her proclamations spurred Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, to warn all these mouthy Democrats that resistance of the sort they are advocating is against the law. Homan warned these Democrats that “It is a felony to harbor or conceal an illegal alien from ICE. Read the statute. Don’t cross that line.” Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: facebook.com/Warner.Todd.Huston , or Truth Social @WarnerToddHuston

This is part of a daily series of the top 10 stories in Bryan-College Station and the Brazos Valley this year. Stories will appear daily with No. 1 running in the Dec. 31 edition. With over 72,000 Texas A&M University students enrolled at the College Station campus and around 12,000 beds available on campus, a record-breaking number of students were left to find housing off-campus in 2024, amidst College Station’s impending housing crisis. According to an existing conditions report by the city of College Station, nearly 30% of households in College Station are “cost burdened” with more than 50% of those being “severely cost burdened.” A household is considered cost-burdened when more than 30% of its income is spent on housing; a household is considered severely cost-burdened when more than 50% is spent on housing. Since 2015, the median home price has increased by 75% since 2015 while wages have only increased by 25%. Furthermore, the report projected a housing supply shortage by 2030. In order to tackle the impending housing crisis, the Housing Action Plan Steering Committee was created by the city to develop an action plan. Consisting of 13 College Station citizens, the committee gathered community feedback through three general housing surveys: a survey for College Station residents, a survey for college students and a survey for businesses and organizations. They received 700 citizen responses, 1,600 student responses and 50 employer responses. Middle housing options, including duplexes, condos and townhouses were found to be noticeably absent from the city, according to the report. Thus, one of the solutions proposed by the action plan is to create and incentivize more diverse housing types, something the College Station City Council has been keeping in mind during recent meetings, including the approval of more middle housing options off Old Wellborn Road and for 16 acres off Rock Prairie Road. David Brower, community development analyst for College Station, previously said they were interested in density incentives for developers within the city. “This is done in lots of cities throughout the country,” he previously told The Eagle . “So, if this was an area you could build, our rule is that you can’t go more than four stories, but for every additional story that you want to build — up to 20 — [developers will] either provide affordable units or provide funding into an affordable housing fund that then will help make units somewhere else.” The other solution proposed by the Housing Action Plan is to incentivize the preservation of affordable housing to current and future community members. One of the most commonly discussed housing limiters includes the no-more-than-four ordinance, a city ordinance that prevents more than four unrelated individuals from living in the same dwelling together. Many Texas A&M students have spoken out against the ordinance in the past and offered alternative methods to control housing, including a two-per-bedroom housing model. While students are interested in sharing apartments to create more affordable houses, citizens argue this raises housing prices for nearby neighborhoods and students can damage integrity by being bad neighbors. The city also offers two zoning classifications to assist in housing matters: the Restricted Occupancy Overlay, or ROO, and the High Occupancy Overlay, or HOO. A ROO limits the no-more-than-four ordinance further so no more than two unrelated individuals can live in a single dwelling while a HOO creates a possible exception to the no-more-than-four ordinance to allow occupancy levels beyond the citywide standard. These ordinances have been a point of contention for students and residents. Residents fear future “Ag-Shacks,” a term given to an apartment or dwelling that houses an unsafe amount of students at higher prices that become more affordable by students when split many ways. According to the report, the median sales price for a non-new construction home in 2023 was $389,000 in College Station. To tackle misinformation on housing and educate students new to the city, Texas A&M established an off-campus student service department in late 2023 . Throughout 2024, the department spoke at many council meetings about its efforts, including the “Live With Integrity” campaign that taught the no-more-than-four ordinance by using social media, signs on-campus and emails. While college students have taken a stand against the ordinance, the city council has shown no immediate signs of changing the no-more-than-four ordinance. In November 2024, the Student Government Association traveled to the Texas State Senate to raise awareness on College Station’s housing issues and possibly collaborate on an end to housing issues. “We are not asking that there is no limitation on occupancy, but we ask that there would be removals of restrictions in regards to relatedness or any other factor, like age or occupation, that would limit and be specifically catered toward students,” Cade Coppinger, student body president, previously said. “The committee was specifically looking at affordable housing in Texas and we talked about the higher education affordable housing crisis we’ve seen within College Station and college towns.” The SGA will continue to work on the proposed piece of legislation and hope to have it filed and ready for consideration in the spring of 2025.

SATURDAY'S BOWL GAMESA man is in hospital after another smash-and-grab jewelry store robbery in the Greater Toronto Area Sunday evening, when police say the suspects crashed a vehicle into the building. Toronto police say they responded to the robbery near Islington Avenue and Albion Road in Rexdale just before 5:30 p.m. The suspects crashed a vehicle into the building, then entered the store and stole some merchandise before fleeing the area, police said in a post on social media. Video of the robbery posted online shows at least three suspects in disguise swinging sledgehammers inside Raj's Jewellery moments after driving a truck into the shop. Police say one person who was inside at the time was injured during the robbery and taken to hospital. The jewelry store was badly damaged during the course of the robbery. (CBC) The store's co-owner Sadia Sharma said her husband was the person who was injured after being attacked by the suspects. Sharma said Monday he remains in hospital with serious injuries. Mona Choudhry owns the Mahek Salon nearby. In all her 25 years of doing business in the area, she says she's never seen anything like this. "What happened yesterday, I'm so scared," she said Monday. Toronto police said officers canvassed the area for video surveillance but hadn't made any arrests as of Monday afternoon. Sunday's robbery is the latest in a string of similar incidents in the Greater Toronto Area this month. Local police responded to two robberies at jewelry stores last week alone — one at the in Toronto, and another at a store in . Data from shows these type of robberies have more than doubled in some part of the GTA when compared to last year. As of mid-December, there were 43 robberies targeting jewelry stores in 2024 in Toronto, up from 21 during the same time period in 2023. Peel Region saw 37 robberies as of mid-December, up from 10 recorded over the same period in 2023. In a statement to CBC, a Toronto Police Service spokesperson said its hold-up Squad is collaborating closely with other law enforcement agencies in the GTA, Toronto Crime Stoppers, the Retail Council of Canada, jewellery store owners, property management companies and security companies to combat the rise in robberies targeting jewelery stores.UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley insists he’s not overvaluing Wednesday night’s game between his 25th-ranked Huskies and No. 15 Baylor in Storrs, Connecticut. Sure, it comes on the heels of the two-time reigning national champion Huskies (5-3) responding to losing all three games during the Maui Invitational with a blowout victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday. UConn, which had won 17 consecutive games entering the Maui tournament, fell 23 spots from No. 2 to nearly out of the Associated Press Top 25 poll released Monday. “I think it’s such a long season and we’re eight games in,” Hurley said when asked about facing the Bears. “Our performance in Maui shocked the college basketball world and the sports world, and obviously a lot went on there.” “I don’t think it’s a must-win game in game nine of the season, but it’s an opportunity to play in Gampel (Pavilion), where we play great and are very comfortable, and we know we’re gonna have a great crowd. “We also know we’re playing a top-level team, so it’s a big game for us and it’s a big game for them.” Wednesday’s game signifies the start of a tough stretch in UConn’s schedule. The Huskies will visit Texas on Sunday and challenge No. 7 Gonzaga in New York on Dec. 14 before beginning Big East play on Dec. 18 against Xavier, which fell from No. 22 to out of the poll on Monday. But let’s go back to Saturday’s 99-45 dismantling of the Hawks. Jaylin Stewart started in place of the injured Alex Karaban (head) and joined Liam McNeeley by scoring 16 points to put UConn back in the win column. Solo Ball contributed 12 points, Aidan Mahaney had 11 and Tarris Reed Jr. (10 points, 12 rebounds) and Jayden Ross (10 points, 10 rebounds) each recorded a double-double. ”This experience they’re getting, (Stewart), Jayden Ross, Solo Ball, these guys are going to keep getting better and better,” Hurley said. “Jaylin Stewart has flashed. That Memphis game (in which he scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting), he flashed a lot in that one. .”.. These sophomores are just going to keep getting better and better. That’s why I do think we do need the grace and support of our people here at UConn. Because they’re going to be such different players in January and February.” On Tuesday, Hurley told reporters that Karaban would remain out for Wednesday’s game. Coming off a split in the Bahamas, Baylor (5-2) bounced back from a 77-62 setback to then-No. 11 Tennessee on Nov. 22 with a decisive 91-60 victory over New Orleans last Wednesday. “I know we’re all a little tired,” Bears coach Scott Drew said. “Whenever you come back from the Bahamas and a trip like that, the first game, you can be playing in mud. And I think the guys did a pretty good job, for the most part.” Jayden Nunn drained six of his seven 3-pointers in the first half and finished with a season-high 23 points to power Baylor past the Privateers. Robert Wright III scored 18 points, Jeremy Roach had 17 and Miami transfer Norchad Omier recorded his third consecutive double-double after finishing with 12 points and a season-high 13 rebounds.
