Here’s a clip from Fox News Channel prime-time propagandist Laura Ingraham’s interview of President Donald Trump, which aired last night. Although this video is being widely scrutinized today for its many baffling and outrageous moments, such as the “plane loaded with thugs” Trump claims evidence-free was headed to Washington to bust up his superspreader event […]

We don’t have to tell you that 2020 has been a very strange year filled with very odd news stories. It’s hard to get surprised by anything anymore, but sometimes it still happens. Like today, for example. As Justin Wingerter reports for The Denver Post, the Loveland-based National Foundation for Gun Rights (which is associated […]
As the Republican National Convention got going this week, as readers know, Sen. Cory Gardner wasn’t in attendance–but in a remote interview with CBS4’s Shaun Boyd on Monday from his home in Yuma, Gardner still had plenty to say: “I’ve never spoken at a convention before and I don’t think anybody would want to listen […]
Last night, CBS4 political reporter Shaun Boyd interviewed one of the leading figures in the Republican/Evangelical Christian alliance that has dominated Colorado Republican politics for decades with even more tenacity than the all-powerful gun lobby–Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute, the political machination arm of the extremely well-funded Colorado Christian University. If you didn’t […]
(Yikes – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A “Team Trump Bus” is touring northern Colorado today, and on it is John “TIG” Tiegen, who tweeted his unvarnished support for Kyle Rittenhouse, the Wisconsin teen accused of shooting three people at Wisconsin protests yesterday. Tiegen, who delivered Trump’s signatures Colorado’s Secretary of State’s office to qualify for […]

Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) is finishing up his seventh term in the House of Representatives. He will almost certainly be re-elected for an eighth term in November. Because CO-5 has long been centered in the conservative city of Colorado Springs, winning a Republican Primary is pretty much the whole enchilada (just like winning a […]

And in November, we’ll have a choice: of another four years of incompetence, division, and chaos, or to come together in defense of our most essential shared values. This is a […]
UPDATE: On the subject of things that don’t exist at the RNC 2020, you can now include “a party platform.” The Republican Party stands for Trump…and that’s about it. Tim Alberta of POLITICO has more on how the Republican Party is no longer about anything: I decided to call Frank Luntz. Perhaps no person alive […]
UPDATE #2: President Trump responds, sort of, to questions about why all of his top advisers keep facing criminal charges: NBC’s @GeoffRBennett: “Respectfully, sir, it’s not just Steve Bannon, it’s Roger Stone, it’s Michael Flynn, it’s Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen. What’s it say about your judgment—” Trump: “Well, I have no idea.” — […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you live in Aurora or the surrounding suburbs, Republican Richard Murray wants you to give him a seat on the governing board of the University of Colorado to stop Democrats from controlling CU. That’s what’s at stake in his campaign against Democrat Ilana Spiegel, he says. If Spiegel beats Murray […]
(Well, that’s lovely of Kopel — promoted by Colorado Pols) By Sean Price, Colorado Times Recorder Dave Kopel, a staffer at the conservative Independence Institute, will not return to his role as a panelist on KBDI-TV’s Colorado Inside Out for two weeks following comments he made on the program about the Black Lives Matter movement. […]
UPDATE #2: Gov. Jared Polis says there’s no way Colorado can sustain the additional burden imposed by Trump’s unemployment executive order, which results in a one-third cut to the benefit even if we do: On the president’s unemployment executive order, Gov. Jared Polis says, “The State would not be able to (provide the $100 match) […]
That’s the update this morning from Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette to yesterday’s big story in Colorado politics–after a $1,000 check to the state and the timely assistance of Rachel George, former comms director for Sen. Cory Gardner and longtime local Republican operative, rapper Kanye West will appear as an independent presidential candidate […]
Last week, the Colorado GOP Senate Minority issued a call for a special session of the state legislature for the purpose of redirecting public education funding away from schools on an “emergency basis” during the pandemic–a novel pretext for the entirely non-emergency objective of Republicans to “voucher-fy and charter-ize” education at the expense of neighborhood […]
CNN reports on what could be rightly considered an inevitable development as we close in on three months before the fateful 2020 presidential election–GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has given the signal that vulnerable Republican Senators up for re-election in November alongside an imploding President Donald Trump can, if they determine it is politically […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In an interview on Denver radio station KHOW, Trump campaign adviser John Pence put to rest any doubt that Trump is targeting suburban women with his hot rhetoric about riots and chaos in American cities. Asked July 28 by KHOW morning host Ross Kaminsky if he thought the upcoming election will […]
UPDATE: As The Washington Post and POLITICO report, the White House is trading barbs with Democrats over whose fault it is that nothing is happening…which somehow overlooks the fact that the holdup is in the SENATE, which is controlled by Republicans. From WaPo: “We anticipate that we will have a bill, but we’re not there […]
CNN reports while the caviar and vodka party begins at the Kremlin: The US is moving forward with President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw nearly 12,000 troops from Germany, a decision that has attracted bipartisan congressional opposition and roiled key allies who see the move as a blow to NATO. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper […]
