Doug Lamborn Dials Up Buffoonery to New Level

Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) is widely regarded as one of the dimmest bulbs in Congress, and he regularly takes the opportunity to confirm his idiocy lest anyone forget. He did it again today: If the $3 trillion dollar price tag on Pelosi’s radical wishlist were not enough, she is also trying to release […]

There’s a Better Way: Reopening Your Business Thoughtfully

This week started with lots of news about C&C Breakfast and Korean Kitchen in Castle Rock, which opened up its doors for Sunday brunch and welcomed a swarm of unmasked social distancing deniers encouraged onward by folks such as House Minority Leader Patrick Neville. The Tri-County Health Department and the State of Colorado cracked down […]

Gee Thanks, Cory: How Gardner’s “Side Deals” Could Backfire

UPDATE: Colorado Democrats give this ad two thumbs down: “Senator Gardner’s deceptive ads won’t change the fact that he’s stood by President Trump 100 percent of the time as they’ve played political games with lifesaving medical supplies and tried to yank health care coverage away from Coloradans when we need it most,” said Colorado Democratic […]

GarCo Sheriff Refuses To Shut Down “Yosemite Samantha”

We wrote yesterday about the reopening of the Shooters Gill in Rifle by owner and Republican CD-3 congressional challenger Lauren Boebert, vowing “I’m not going to let the government tell me what to do” and resuming her lunch service of chicken tenders with a side of armed wait staff. KJCT-TV Grand Junction reports that Boebert […]

Ken Buck Once Again Vows To Thoroughly Investigate Himself

The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby updates on the developing scandal over Colorado GOP Chairman Ken Buck’s management of the COVID-addled 2020 assemblies, the apparent fudging of the results of which is threatening to plunge an already beleaguered party facing another round of destruction at the polls in November into even more intraparty chaos: The […]

Polis and the President: A Mutually Beneficial Exercise

Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim kicks off our coverage recap of yesterday’s visit by Gov. Jared Polis to the White House, which appears to have been successful for the state in terms of obtaining supplies to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic–an issue deep in political subtext for President Donald Trump, Sen. Cory Gardner, and […]

Brauchler’s Proposal to Roll Back Polis’ Power Shows How Pandemic Is Being “Converted into a Partisan Issue”

(It would be cool if Brauchler spent this much time on his real job — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a proposal that one health expert is calling a “sad” illustration of how the response to the pandemic is being converted into a “partisan issue,” Arapahoe County area District Attorney George Brauchler is urging lawmakers […]

Colorado House GOP CoS Pushes “Plandemic” Fake News

Here’s a recent Facebook post by Colorado House Minority Chief of Staff Jim Pfaff.

Man Arrested for Bomb Possession Testified That He’d Defend Gun Rights “Regardless of Cost”

Brad Bunn and his fellow organizers were hoping for an overwhelming show of force, enough to prevent police from enforcing the law for fear of a massive gun battle.   Thanks to the FBI and Larimer County, Colorado, Sheriff’s deputies, neither Bunn nor other openly-armed protesters made it to the Capitol. Bunn had advocated for […]

Ken Buck’s Descent Into Comic Book Villainy Continues

As the Greeley Tribune’s Cuyler Meade reports–voting against every coronavirus relief bill, sometimes almost alone, slamming stay-at-home orders to slow the pandemic while deaths from COVID-19 skyrocketed in his home Weld County, mocking basic best practices like wearing masks and avoiding mass gatherings, and plenty more examples of outrageous irresponsibility we didn’t even bother to […]

A Brief History: Ken Buck as State Republican Party Chairman

In recent history, serving as Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party has come with a heaping helping of downside and just a smidge of upside. The current State GOP Chair, who also moonlights as Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley), has largely managed to stub his toe on every available rock in a little more than a […]

Do What We Say, Not What We Do

We wrote a few days ago about the COVID-19 outbreak that seems to be running rampant in the White House.
