(Law-breaking law enforcement? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Arapahoe-County area District Attorney George Brauchler says he doesn’t care if a business, like a movie theater, bans concealed weapons from the premises. He’s “happy” to violate the law and bring his concealed weapon into the theater anyway, he told Greeley’s KCOL guest host Karen Kataline Aug. […]
The Denver Post’s political duo Justin Wingerter and Nic Garcia report, and we’re obliged to take note: State Democratic insiders agree that Hickenlooper would be a formidable candidate against Gardner, but a majority of the 11 Democratic candidates already in the field want Hickenlooper to know they won’t be rolling over if he decides to […]

Above you can see an image forwarded to us today that depicts the MSNBC cable news network attempting to explain the dynamics of Colorado’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary to their audience. But as our readers should be able to quickly see, there are a few problems: None of these men are running for the U.S. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As Trump is promising action on gun safety legislation, Colorado Republican House leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock is taking credit for talking Trump out pushing a red flag bill in the wake of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, gun massacre. “Just about eighteen months ago, I went and visited the president […]
As we’ve discussed in this space on numerous occasions, various efforts to recall Democratic elected officials in Colorado are about two things: 1) Figuring out a way to get around the fact that pesky Colorado voters won’t support Republican candidates, and 2) Raising money by any means possible. The fundraising aspect has become so intense, in […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Watch Gov. John Hickenlooper’s gracious presidential race exit video, in which he pledges to seriously consider a run for the U.S. Senate: I’ve heard from so many Coloradans who want me to run for the US Senate. They remind me how much is at stake for our country. And our state. I intend […]
Sen. Cory Gardner continued his low-publicity “walking tour” of Colorado towns and cities yesterday with a stop in the conservative mountain town of Buena Vista–seat of red-leaning Chaffee County, which narrowly voted for Donald Trump and Darryl Glenn in the last presidential election. The Mountain Mail newspaper obliged Gardner with the closest we’ve seen to […]
Maybe don’t. Or have a stiff drink first: The Dow fell 800 points Wednesday after the bond market, for the first time in over a decade, flashed a warning signal that has an eerily accurate track record for predicting recessions. Here’s what happened: The 10-year Treasury bond yield fell below 1.6% Wednesday morning, dropping just […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) made a 2020 re-election campaign stop in Minturn on Tuesday. It was not particularly inspiring, even by Gardner standards. As Nate Peterson captures for the Vail Daily, Gardner was asked some tough questions — for which he provided some very Gardner-esque non-answers. Check out this discussion: Joy Harrison, the former […]
The Colorado Sun reports on some surprising new polling data about Proposition CC and TABOR refunds in general: A survey conducted by Republican firm Magellan Strategies found that 54% of likely 2019 general election voters intend to approve Proposition CC, while 30% said they were going to reject the question. And 15% said they were […]
UPDATE: As the New York Times reports, Hick is sure looking like a Senate candidate: Former Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado is in discussions about ending his presidential bid and entering the race for his state’s Republican-held Senate seat, potentially giving Democrats a strong candidate in a race they must win to have hopes of […]

CNBC reports that they’re not working out so well for the nation’s bottom line: The U.S. budget deficit widened another $119.7 billion, good for a 27% increase over a year ago, according to government figures released Monday. Total outlays increased by 22.8% over last July as receipts grew 11.6%. For the year, receipts were up […]
THIS. THIS is why Colorado is among the 13 states that have background checks for gun purchases. THIS is why Republicans in Congress need to pass background check legislation for the entire country. As CBS4 Denver reports: Wesley Gilreath, 29, is currently behind bars in Boulder on child pornography charges. His recent attempt to purchase a gun […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, this is what a prohibitive favorite looks like: Six hundred likely Democratic primary voters in the state were polled and 61% preferred Hickenlooper, compared to 10% for Mike Johnston and 8% for Andrew Romanoff. Fifteen percent were undecided and 6% favored Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who said […]

Photos forwarded to us yesterday from the far western reaches of Jefferson County, at the intersection of US-285 and Pine Valley Road. In the 20 minutes or so our source observed there weren’t any drive-ups to sign petitions either to recall Gov. Jared Polis or the recently-announced “citizens-only voting” ballot measure being pushed in search […]
Roll Call’s Niels Lesniewski: “Instead of making lesson plans, I’m making active-shooter plans.” That’s what a woman identified as a Colorado schoolteacher named Jody says in a new issue ad campaign starting this weekend by the gun control advocacy group named for former Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The group’s aim is to push Colorado […]
Late breaking this Friday evening, a press release from the Senate exploratory committee for Secretary of State Jena Griswold announcing a no-go on her possible run for the nomination to take on vulnerable Sen. Cory Gardner: Today, Colorado’s Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that she will not seek the Democratic nomination for US Senate, […]
AP reports on an Illinois political corruption story with a Colorado klink: President Donald Trump has sent his clearest signal yet that he may be about to sign commutation papers freeing former Illinois governor and one-time “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Rod Blagojevich from federal prison in Colorado. The 62-year-old Democrat, who was once best known and […]
An underpublicized but undeniably public appearance yesterday in Wheat Ridge by Sen. Cory Gardner, who has been infamously difficult to reach by both constituents and members of the local media in recent weeks months years since Donald Trump became President, turned into another protracted confrontation with his many critics–as the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports: […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Wearing a “Moms Demand Action” t-shirt and speaking in a quiet but firm voice, Connie Grieshaber asked U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner a series of questions today about guns during a little-publicized meeting at Lutheran Medical Center. Gardner appeared to listen carefully to Grieshaber, and then didn’t answer a single one of […]
As CNN reports, President Trump is very sad that people are not viewing him as some sort of hero for visiting hospitals in Ohio and Texas in the wake of last weekend’s mass shootings: Some of President Donald Trump’s own aides conceded Thursday that his visits to two cities in mourning did not go as […]
UPDATE: Cory gets caught: Surprising elected officials for interviews outside public events, rather than sitting down for thoughtful conversations isn’t how we like to do business. But when your representatives refuse to answer basic questions, this is the option that remains to seek answers. — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) August 8, 2019 —– If you can […]
