Denver mayor Mike Johnston worries migrant counts could “eclipse” previous highs as Texas sends more buses

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent more than 10 buses transporting migrants to Denver in the last week, Mayor Mike Johnston said Tuesday morning as he told City Council members that the number of arrivals could reach an all-time high.Another four buses from Texas arrived during the day, a city spokesperson confirmed.The influx comes as the flow of migrants across the southern U.S. border with Mexico has increased in recent weeks. When Johnston took office in mid-July, the number of migrants in city shelters ranged from 400 to 500 people, he said. As of Monday, the number stood at 1,656 — within a few hundred of the peak at shelters amid the initial surge, when the city declared an emergency.“With the addition of new buses this week, we could eclipse, potentially, the high water mark of more migrants than we’ve had in shelter in the city at any point … since the crisis ever began,” Johnston said during the weekly Mayor-Council meeting.The mayor said the new sur...Kinjo is Feeling Good

There’s a split in the CBD community over how much THC to put in hemp extracts. Although the 2018 US Farm Bill allows manufacturers to include ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC, some customers prefer zero THC in their CBD oils. To cater to different consumer preferences, most CBD brands now offer some products with a bit of THC (aka “full-spectrum CBD”) or zero THC concentration (either broad-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate).While a little THC in human-grade CBD oils is generally safe for healthy adults, there are serious questions over whether CBD pet treats should have any THC. Does delta-9 have more harmful effects on dogs than humans? Should pet owners even consider using full-spectrum CBD oil?Can You Feed Full-Spectrum CBD To Dogs?Most studies suggest that dogs are more sensitive to cannabinoids than humans. Even a tiny amount of delta-9 THC could trigger severe side effects in a dog, including seizures, vomiting, and even death. For this reason, dog owners should always inspect the THC co...Signing up for mobile driver’s license in DMV pilot test just a few clicks away: Roadshow

Nearly 9 out 10 Californians say America is in the midst of a mental health crisis, according to a sprawling new statewide survey of Golden State residents who also express lingering concerns over inflation, homelessness and housing.The overwhelming consensus on the poor state of America’s mental health, which fully 87% of Californians labeled a crisis, crossed all political and demographic groups in the poll released Tuesday night by the Public Policy Institute of CaliforniaYet, perhaps counterintuitively, 81% of those surveyed said they would rate their own mental health as excellent (18%), very good (31%) or good (32%). Only 4% described their own mental health as poor. But nearly 4 out 10 said the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on their mental health.“I think that people are reading and hearing a lot about what is going on in terms of drug abuse, mental health, homelessness,” said Mark Baldassare, statewide survey director at the PPIC.In a rare show of unity, the ...Oregon man arrested in brutal cold case rape, murder of 6-year-old Bay Area boy expected to be jailed

SANTA CLARA — Not even a 3-0 start for the 49ers can quell all concerns from their fan base, which relayed some via social media for this Week 4 mailbag:Will Jake (Brendel) and Purdy fix those botched snaps? (@matty__maff)Look, at least Purdy recovered those fumbles, on the first snap after halftime at the Rams and on the second snap after halftime against the Giants. The ball is definitely bouncing the 49ers’ way, especially in the red zone:— Week 1: Purdy traps the ball under his backside after a J.J. Watt sack at the Steelers’ 13-yard line.— Week 2: A red-zone snap deflects off motion-man George Kittle’s thigh and redirects to Christian McCaffrey for a short run. Also, a Deebo Samuel fumble harmlessly goes out of bounds, and, later, Talanoa Hufanga intercepts a fourth-quarter pass that ricochets high off Fred Warner’s helmet.— Week 3: The 49ers breach the red zone when a Purdy pass deflects off Samuel and into the hands of Ronnie Bell for a 15-yard g...2 Marin council meetings disrupted with bigoted comments
