For all of its faults, sometimes social media can be an absolutely perfect window into a person’s soul. This Tweet today from Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is a great example: Every Independence Day celebration needs some BBQ. The BEST Independence Day celebrations have Colorado BBQ – the best in the nation! https://t.co/m37HME82ST — Cory Gardner […]

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) says a lot of words when he is asked a direct question about a specific topic. As we’ve noted in this space on numerous occasions, it is rare that those words form together into any sort of actual answer that might make an inkling of sense to an English-speaking human […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s time to call TABOR, the so-called Tax Payer’s Bill of Rights, what it is: A conservative social experiment. The TABOR Experiment asked whether a majority of people would approve of the taxes necessary for essential government services like schools, roads, health services, and other basic government functions. After 27 years, […]
For the past 3 years a battle has been fought in North Denver by neighbors and activists hoping to save the last significant parcel of open space remaining in the heart of Denver – 90-year-old Park Hill Golf Course. Earlier this year the Denver Post ran a series of articles on the issue of increasing […]
Your deliberately oversimplified glance at what happened in Colorado this week. Analysts: Strong Colorado growth continues amid trade risks Colorado’s Tiny House Festival Is Here, and It’s Not Tiny The Best Concerts in Denver This Weekend Snow in Colorado just in time for first day of summer, with storms in afternoon Colorado Among Only 14 […]
UPDATE: As the Washington Post reports, White House aides are unsure about the timeline presented by President Trump regarding a potential military strike against Iran. It doesn’t help that Trump is now openly contradicting himself: The precariousness of the moment was compounded by widespread uncertainty about the president’s decision-making process, which he detailed Friday in tweets […]
The Colorado Sun’s John Frank and Jesse Paul report: The political arm of the Koch conservative network endorsed U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner on Tuesday, a move designed to emphasize a renewed focus on policy but one that recalls its big-dollar role in the 2014 election. Americans for Prosperity Action, one of the most prominent conservative […]
CBS4 reports on a bizarre care involving longtime local Republican attorney Robert Corry, who played a disputed role in the authoring and passage of 2012’s Amendment 64 legalizing recreational marijuana–but has proven his own worst enemy in terms of self-sabotaging craziness wrecking his attempts to join the political mainstream: The attorney for the truck driver […]

UPDATE #5: The Denver Post’s Anna Staver: “This gives Rep. Sullivan and the Democrats a victory,” said Dick Wadhams, a former Colorado GOP chairman. “Clearly, it was unwise to start this fight.” Wadhams said he thinks recalls have a place in Colorado’s political process, but they need to be “well thought out.” And he isn’t […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner is a regular on Colorado conservative talk radio shows, where the questions are typically friendly and warm. But, these days, don’t expect Gardner to talk to real journalists and the public, whose questions might put a chill in the conversation. Gardner hasn’t had a town hall meeting […]
We do our best to keep abreast of the latest political scuttlebutt as compiled by our various political newsrooms into weekly newsletter offerings, but like an unfortunate number of news consumers out there we sometimes don’t always make it all the way through every single such roundup every single week–particularly when there’s nothing in the […]
(Now THAT’S funny – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo has a track record of stepping back into politics when things aren’t getting done the way he wants. See his run for governor in 2010 and his bid for president. He’s at it again now, sitting on the advisory committee of “We […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner hasn’t held a town hall meeting with constituents in about a year and a half, choosing instead to meet with private groups and telling the public about such meetings after they occur. But he may have held conference calls with constituents, possibly in Colorado Springs, last week […]
CNN reports, the winnowing’s got to start some time: The Democratic National Committee will double the qualifying thresholds and require that 2020 candidates meet both in order to participate in the third and fourth primary debates, the committee announced Wednesday. Candidates had to achieve 1% in three polls from an approved list of pollsters or […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) WEDNESDAY POLS UPDATE: Dudley Brown fires back unrepentant: @davekopel decrying fundraising is like a meat eater who hates hunting because he gets his food from the grocery store “where no animals were harmed.” Newsflash: someone raised the $$ (7% of @i2idotorg budget). — DudleyWBrown (@dudleywbrown) May 29, 2019 —– Pro-gun activists […]
The email we were forwarded from Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. this morning needs a moment to sink in: It’s Memorial Day in the United States and Team Trump would like to take this time to thank every veteran who has served this great Nation, and to honor those who fell protecting it. Because […]
(Wait, what? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Reached for comment, Sheriff Reams corrected this story’s earlier inaccurate statement that he is a member of the Constitutional Sheriff and Peace Officer Association- he is not. He also clarified his interview remarks to say explicitly that he did not think the Bundy family and its supporters […]
UPDATE: As Jennifer Rubin writes for the Washington Post, Pelosi sure knows how to push Trump’s buttons: Whether Pelosi intended this result or not, her ability to treat Trump as a spoiled child and provoke even more self-destructive behavior has several positive benefits for Democrats in this context. First, it puts the blame for not […]
Be the best version of yourself rather than a bad copy of someone else! — Conchita Wurst
We wrote last week about the most recent “Lincoln Day” dinner hosted by the Pueblo County Republicans, featuring newly-minted “CEO” of the Colorado Republican Party Steve House saying too much about the real purpose of threatened recalls against Democratic state lawmakers–a fresh angle from which to combat the GOP’s trend of losses in Colorado elections, […]
