In late July, we asked readers of Colorado Pols to weigh in on their thoughts on the potential Vice Presidential selection from Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris. With the official announcement expected on Tuesday, it’s time to ask once more time. On July 29, readers felt like Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly had the edge, but […]
A new and heavily misinformed front in the ongoing debate over gender identity and sports opened this week at the Olympic Games in Paris, when a female Algerian boxer widely misidentified as “transgender” easily defeated an Italian female boxer, leading to a fresh round of allegations that “woke culture” was allowing “men to play in […]

Colorado Republicans are, in a word, absurd.

CNN reports from the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where Donald Trump appeared yesterday for a sit-down interview with three Black journalists that even on the Trump scale of incendiary shock value is difficult to overstate: a performance that would have ended any other political career, and although it’s not the first […]

Newsweek reports that GOP freshman Sen. J.D. Vance has by all accounts had a historically bad launch as Donald Trump’s running mate, with polls since the end of the Republican National Convention last week showing that Vance is the least popular vice presidential pick from either party in over 40 years: The Ohio senator’s net […]
