Mitchell began a rehabilitation assignment with Nashville on Friday.Wiemer has struggled over the last month, and his playing time dipped after the NL Central-leading Brewers promoted rookie Sal Frelick and acquired Mark Canha at the trade deadline. Wiemer is 2 for 28 with 12 strikeouts over his last 14 games.“When Sal got here, Joey’s playing situation changed, and that’s been different for him,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said before the Brewers’ 9-5 Saturday night victory over...

Highest-paying jobs in Denver that don't require a college degree

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:44:19 GMT

College isn't for everyone—despite what today's youth may hear from the adults in their lives.From the moment they arrive freshman year, today's high school students are inundated with messages about the importance of receiving a college education.

Some even pay better than jobs reserved for degree earners.Stacker used Bureau of Labor Statistics data to find the 50 highest-paying jobs in Denver that don't require higher e...

Former President Donald Trump said Sunday that he didn’t respect lawyers and members of his campaign who told him he lost the 2020 presidential election, and that it was his decision to buy into the theory that the election was rigged.“In many cases, I didn’t respect them,” Trump said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” when asked why he decided to ignore his lawyers and advisers who told him he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. “But I did respect others. I respected many others that said the election was rigged.”Trump, the current frontrunner in the GOP presidential primary, is facing indictments related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In the federal case against him, prosecutors cited the fact that Trump was told repeatedly by his lawyers that he had lost the election. Trump’s campaign lost dozens of lawsuits trying to challenge his 2020 defeat in the weeks after the election, with their baseless conspiracy theories swatted away.When pres...
