Two must-read related stories from the Denver Post’s Elizabeth Hernandez today about politically incendiary developments at the University of Colorado, which despite the state’s general leftward trajectory is controlled by a Republican majority Board of Regents–who recently appointed a highly controversial ex-GOP Congressman President to succeed retiring Republican kingpin President Bruce Benson. Under Benson’s term […]

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: Let the word go forth: “That is actually horse excrement.” 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark is referring to Cory Gardner’s pre-existing conditions bill (below), but t seems to us this could find its way into an awful lot of content. —– Friday evening, 9NEWS ran a “Truth Test” fact check of a recent ad from Chuck […]
UPDATE: Thanks, Jack: —– So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud! — Donald […]
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is facing a potential challenge to his caucus leadership thanks in part to the prevalence of QAnon-loving congressional candidates who are making rank-and-file Republicans more than a little bit nervous. Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene has gotten the ‘Q’ headlines recently, but the GOP’s Q troubles include Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, the […]

Former GOP state Rep. Mark Hillman’s career in public office may have sputtered out in the bush leagues of the state legislature, but he continues to lob spitwads into the marketplace of ideas via whatever opportunities are afforded him by local media and sympathetic partisan outlets kind enough to republish him. Yesterday, Hillman wrote in […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) At about midnight four years ago, restauranteur Lauren Boebert, in her words, “turned too sharp,” and rolled her truck into a ditch near her home in Rifle, Colorado. She faced a careless driving and unsafe vehicle charges, and a court date was set for three months later. Not an uncommon slip-up […]
The Democratic National Convention comes to a close tonight after Joe Biden delivers his speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President.

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.” — […]
Sen. Rick Scott of Florida has always struck us as an unusual public figure to say the least, mostly because he looks and talks like a perfect combination of Batboy and Marshall Applewhite: We’re not sure who exactly Scott is supposed to appeal to. Nonetheless he wins elections in Florida. Rick Scott is standing with […]
UPDATE: Gardner’s nonsense bill about pre-existing medical conditions doesn’t even work anyway: This recent bill from Senator Cory Gardner provides some protections for people with pre-existing conditions, but it leaves out a big one: Insurance companies would still be able to deny insurance entirely to people who are sick.https://t.co/CaYLVViGMh pic.twitter.com/FEs99fsQLm — Larry Levitt (@larry_levitt) August […]
As the Denver Post’s Bruce Finley reports, in case you haven’t been outside, opened a window, or breathed deeply in the last few days: Climate change hit home in Colorado this week, exacerbating multiple environmental calamities: wildfires burning across 135,423 acres, stream flows shrinking to where state officials urged limits on fishing, drought wilting crops, […]

I just… no comment. — Lauren Boebert for Congress (R-CO3) (@laurenboebert) August 18, 2020 Republican CD-3 nominee Lauren Boebert, like President Donald Trump himself, keeps up a steady […]
(If it walks like a duck… — Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) says repeatedly that he wants to protect people with pre-existing conditions from losing their health insurance, yet he’s voted repeatedly to eliminate or gut the federal requirement that insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions. Now Gardner has introduced […]

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was asked today to provide his thoughts on President Trump’s attacks on the U.S. Postal Service. He said a lot of words. Sen. Gardner did not directly answer a follow-up question about whether the postmaster general is doing a good job. #cosen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/sS2qN5re9A — Justin Wingerter (@JustinWingerter) August 17, […]
