As the Washington Post reports: The country’s top intelligence official said Thursday that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign consisted of hacking, as well as the spreading of traditional propaganda and “fake news.” “Whatever crack, fissure, they could find in our tapestry . . . they would exploit it,” said Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper […]
Here comes the snow! Maybe. Forecasts along the Front Range call for as much as 2 feet of snow in the next two days…which probably means we’ll get an inch of rain. It’s time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a […]
(Leave it to Lundberg – Promoted by Colorado Pols) You’d think twice about signing some pledges, if you’re a politician. But a pledge not to spread fake news, if it’s found to be false by “Snopes, Politifact, Factcheck.org, or by a respected news outlet?” And to remove such falsehoods accidentally posted on Facebook unless “detailed […]
Today is the first “official” workday following the Holidays, and since we’re still practicing writing “2-0-1-7,” let’s take one more look back on the year in politics that concluded (finally) over the weekend… WINNERS Michael Bennet Few politicians entered 2016 with more at stake than Bennet, who was widely considered to be the number one […]
“At best, the renewal of broken relations is a nervous matter.” –Henry Adams
The failure of Colorado Republicans to field a credible challenger to incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016, as we’ve discussed, was an historic missed opportunity–in what we now know was a much stronger election for Republican candidates across the nation than anyone (other than Vladimir Putin, apparently) could have predicted. Republican U.S. Senate nominee […]
El Paso County Commissioner and 2016 Republican Senate nominee Darryl Glenn may very well have been the worst statewide candidate in Colorado history. Amazingly, there were 12 other GOP candidates who might have been worse. In a year in which Republicans had huge electoral gains across the country, a ridiculously bad group of candidates helped the Colorado […]
Democratic hopes grew throughout the 2016 election season, anticipating major gains at all levels as Donald Trump went down to inglorious defeat and took a large swath of the Republican Party with him. As you may be aware, that didn’t happen. In Colorado, the net results of the 2016 elections were, with one notable exception, […]
Colorado State Treasurer Walker Stapleton, the inexplicable frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2018, is mad again about PERA. From the Colorado Springs Gazette: Over the protests of Colorado’s state treasurer, the head of the state’s retirement system received a 3 percent salary increase on Tuesday—his second raise in just over a year—bringing his salary to […]
Planning for anything is such a good thing which anyone needs to notice. That is including on dealing with the asset or estate which someone is owned. Of course, dealing with the estate planning might be something good for planning the future when someone died. That sounds so complicated but of course, it is such […]

9NEWS reports that Colorado’s Republican Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, who famously yelled out “Go Trump!” at the end of (at the time) anti-Donald Trump Rep. Mike Coffman’s victory speech, is hoping aloud that the President-elect and his marijuana archenemy Attorney General Jeff Sessions tread lightly with regard to the budding marijuana industry in our state […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Do the media get whiplash? Just a day ago we saw none other than Al Gore, the chief apostle warning humanity of its reckless carbon-belching ways, saying vaguely complimentary things about his summons to the Trump Tower to speak with The Donald and First Daughter to be. Today we get a science-denying […]
The Teacher Is In The Building Oh those great and wonderful days of High School. I think it is safe to say that the majority of us delighted on the days our regular teacher was out and we had a substitute teacher. He/she did their best to appear concerned as they put a reel on […]
Veteran political reporter Peter Marcus opens some speculation about the 2018 Colorado gubernatorial race over at Colorado Politics, and there are a couple of points worth reinforcing even at this early stage of the game: Ken Salazar and his inner-circle have been quiet about what the San Luis Valley Democrat’s intentions are, though many say […]
UPDATE: Oh, and BTW, people kinda like Obamacare after all — and are signing up in record numbers. —– With the election of Donald Trump as President and solid Republican majorities in the U.S. House and Senate, President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, is seen as a very likely target for swift repeal. […]
“I’m sure at Colorado Christian University, there are a lot of safe spaces right now,” said KLZ radio’s Dan Meurer in introducing an interview segment with guest host Jenna Ellis, an assistant professor of legal studies and leadership at CCU. “No, there are not, and if any of my students wear a safety pin and ask for […]
You may have missed the news earlier this week that El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, fresh off his “campaign” as the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, is opening his own political consulting firm. As the Colorado Springs Gazette reported on Monday: The El Paso County commissioner said DLG Esquire Attorney at Law will focus on assisting strategic […]
That’s the news sending palms crashing into foreheads around Colorado this Monday evening: two-time Colorado gubernatorial loser Bob Beauprez, one of the most spectacular failures in our state’s modern political history, is being “considered” by Republican President-elect Donald Trump for the job of Secretary of the Interior! As GOP metaspox “reporter” Dan Njegomir is excited to announce […]

I’ve given a lot of thought to this, and I need to say what I think. Democrats in Congress should do everything in their power to resist and subvert everything Donald Trump wants to do as President of the United States. No reaching across the aisle. No bipartisanship. No compromise on anything, no matter how […]
Last week’s election was a disaster for America. Today, millions of Americans from all walks of life are rightfully afraid for the future, for their families, and for their safety, and wondering how the country they love could have made such a terrible choice. Here in Colorado, things went a little differently. Colorado rejected Donald […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock), whose voice is familiar to listeners of conservative talk radio, was elected state house minority leader Thursday. Asked if he could see anything beyond gridlock coming out of next year’s legislative session, Neville said he had a “decent” and “productive” lunch with Gov. John Hickenlooper, […]
