We wrote on Friday about the joint press appearance by President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which Trump made a mockery of years of controversy over Russian meddling in the 2016 elections by playfully wagging his finger at Putin and asking him facetiously to not hack the 2020 elections. The Guardian reports […]

Colorado Public Radio reported Friday and we wanted to be sure it got a mention: Gov. Jared Polis is asking the Denver District Court to dismiss a Republican lawsuit over the passage of a so-called “red flag” gun law last legislative session. The Colorado Attorney General’s office filed a motion Thursday. Polis signed the measure […]
CNN reports while a strange kind of history is made at the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea: President Donald Trump shook hands with Kim Jong Un on Sunday and took 20 steps into North Korea, making history as the first sitting US leader to set foot in the hermit kingdom. Trump crossed the […]
Surveying the commentary following last night’s Democratic presidential debate featuring both of Colorado’s entries into the race, Sen. Michael Bennet and former Gov. John Hickenlooper, there’s a consensus emerging that Bennet in particular did as well as he could have hoped for–perhaps even enough to transit from the 1% pack into the middle tier of […]
Have you ever wondered to yourself while sitting in front of your home computer, “could I make a gripping political ad?” We have some bad news–without experience, preferably some professional training or (God forbid) a college education in video production, the answer is most likely no. Once in awhile somebody stumbles into a good concept […]
CNN reports from the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, where President Donald Trump just met with Russian President Vladimir Putin both privately and in public–and finally, to Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado’s profound relief, strongly warned the Russian president to not meddle again in American elections–the way every investigation including the recently-concluded Robert Mueller inquiry […]
For Colorado’s presidential aspirants Sen. Michael Bennet and former Gov. John Hickenlooper, tonight’s the night to shine! The same is no less true for all those other folks, but our local boys have everything to gain tonight and not much to lose. Your personal definition of “make us proud” may vary, but here’s hoping they […]
(Orwellian stuff – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Ken Buck said Wednesday that when it comes to immigration, the Trump Administration has done an “outstanding job of trying to clean up the mess of past administrations.” “The mistreatment of children really tugs at the heartstrings,” Buck told KFTM radio’s John Waters Wednesday (Listen below). […]
For several months now, we’ve been closely following the competing efforts working toward the possible but highly unlikely recall of Gov. Jared Polis–a campaign that would be unprecedented in size and expense, and so far hasn’t attracted even a fraction of either the financial or popular support that would be necessary for a successful outcome. […]
UPDATE: We just noticed this, so apologies if we’re late to the party. One of these men is Democratic Presidential candidate John Delaney. The other is former President Gerald Ford. It’s okay if you’re kinda creeped out by this. We are, too. —– 10 will enter, 10 will leave. And our Colorado boys […]

As the New York Times reports, production of new programming at the controversial NRATV outlet operated by the National Rifle Association is ending and the channel will go dark, following a decision by the organization’s leadership after a spate of infighting between the storied gun-rights organization and its unruly media arm: “Many members expressed concern […]
As the Washington Free Beacon reports, GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs is back on his high horse for another attempt to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting–and this time Lamborn is going straight for the wedge-issue jugular instead of pussy-footing around with dry lectures about fiscal responsibility: Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn (Colo.) has introduced […]
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 […]
We’re working to get more information about fresh reported infighting between organizers of a highly improbable recall effort against Gov. Jared Polis and Rep. Ken Buck, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. The above message from leader “Official” Recall Polis organizer Shane Donnelley is from late last week, the day after we wrote about a […]
Here’s an email from President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign that’s noteworthy enough to share: I officially launched my second term presidential run on Tuesday night in front of a HUGE crowd in Orlando. I talked about how proud I am of all we’ve accomplished over the past few years and all that we have left […]

Republican Casper Stockham has run two consecutive unsuccessful campaigns for Congress in Denver against incumbent Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, so he’s trying something different in 2020. Stockham is shifting his sights eastward to challenge Democrat Jason Crow in CO-6. We bring this up not only to prevent getting a bunch of Facebook messages from Stockham himself, […]
UPDATE: Littleton City Council member Kyle Schlachter was caught unawares: I was not aware of the visit until after the fact… — Kyle Schlachter (@Kyle4Littleton) June 24, 2019 Apparently, you’ve got to be very lucky. —– A story from yesterday’s Englewood Herald, one of the many small newspapers published by Colorado Community Media, offers a […]
CBS4 Denver reports, while thousands of undocumented immigrants and immigration rights activists cautiously exhale–for a couple of weeks, anyway: The planned ICE raids for Denver and 10 other cities on Sunday have been postponed for two weeks. Pres. Donald Trump tweeted the change of plans on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Trump tweeted, “At the request of […]
SATURDAY UPDATE: Escalating quickly, as Reuters reports: Oregon’s State Capitol building was shut down on Saturday as a safety precaution, police said, in the wake of a bitter partisan divide that had Republican lawmakers walked out to block a vote on a bill to reduce climate change-causing gases… Some right-wing militia groups have expressed support […]
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 Brian Eason has bad news for participants in the state Public Employees Retirement Association, who have already endured several rounds of belt-tightening in recent years to increase employee costs and reduce employee payouts: Thanks to a brutal December for stocks, Colorado’s pension lost $1.8 billion on its investments in 2018, according to […]
