Last night, CBS4 political reporter Shaun Boyd interviewed one of the leading figures in the Republican/Evangelical Christian alliance that has dominated Colorado Republican politics for decades with even more tenacity than the all-powerful gun lobby–Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute, the political machination arm of the extremely well-funded Colorado Christian University.

UPDATE: On the subject of things that don’t exist at the RNC 2020, you can now include “a party platform.” The Republican Party stands for Trump…and that’s about it. Tim Alberta of POLITICO has more on how the Republican Party is no longer about anything: I decided to call Frank Luntz. Perhaps no person alive […]
UPDATE: Thanks, Jack: —– So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud! — Donald […]

Former GOP state Rep. Mark Hillman’s career in public office may have sputtered out in the bush leagues of the state legislature, but he continues to lob spitwads into the marketplace of ideas via whatever opportunities are afforded him by local media and sympathetic partisan outlets kind enough to republish him. Yesterday, Hillman wrote in […]

UPDATE: Gardner’s nonsense bill about pre-existing medical conditions doesn’t even work anyway: This recent bill from Senator Cory Gardner provides some protections for people with pre-existing conditions, but it leaves out a big one: Insurance companies would still be able to deny insurance entirely to people who are sick.https://t.co/CaYLVViGMh pic.twitter.com/FEs99fsQLm — Larry Levitt (@larry_levitt) August […]

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was asked today to provide his thoughts on President Trump’s attacks on the U.S. Postal Service. He said a lot of words. Sen. Gardner did not directly answer a follow-up question about whether the postmaster general is doing a good job. #cosen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/sS2qN5re9A — Justin Wingerter (@JustinWingerter) August 17, […]
MONDAY UPDATE: WTF? SAVE THE POST OFFICE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2020 —– National Public Radio reports on an admission so jaw-dropping it could only be…an average Thursday in Donald Trump’s train wreck presidency: While President Trump has long railed against mail-in voting, falsely claiming it leads to rampant fraud, he appeared to […]
The Denver City Council will hold its regular weekly meeting tonight, where one City Council member hopes to force a vote on a massively-consequential proposal that she hasn’t even sketched out herself. As Conrad Swanson reported last week for The Denver Post: Denver City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca wants to place a measure on the city’s […]
CBS4 Denver: A new week of politics in Colorado is beginning with more defense of Colorado’s mail-in voting system, as President Donald Trump says he doesn’t want to slow down the mail. Colorado’s top Democrats held a news conference first thing Monday morning to denounce efforts that they feel could hamper or prevent mail-in voting […]
Colorado Public Radio reports on what could be considered an admission of defeat by the Trump administration, the announcement this weekend that interim Bureau of Land Management director William Perry Pendley will not be formally nominated for the position–but news that Pendley will continue to run the BLM in the interim capacity he has controversially […]
For the fourth consecutive week, we are discussing on a Friday the failure of Senate Republicans to make any movement whatsoever on another coronavirus stimulus bill.

NPR reported yesterday that mail ballot collection boxes, which have proven highly popular among Colorado voters–and that’s before President Donald Trump started monkey-wrenching the U.S. Postal Service coincidentally just a few months before an election he insists without factual basis will be defraudulated by mail ballots: Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett…told the U.S. Senate […]
