(Promoted by Colorado Pols) But the Future Water Supply is Uncertain For the last 18 years the Colorado River Basin and the southwestern states supplied by the river have been dry. How dry?

CNN reports, an American statesman has passed on: Whenever America was in a fight during his long lifetime, John McCain was in the thick of it.

Sometimes we get sent the strangest photos without context, and it’s necessary for us to figure out what the hell is going on. Yes, that’s GOP Senate President Kevin Grantham, and yes, it looks like a mug shot. In fact, it’s Grantham’s gag photo from a popular barbershop in Cañon City–perhaps the same place where […]

The next day, […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Republican leaders said today that a portrait of Trump will adorn a wall at the Colorado Capitol by late 2018 or early 2019.
