You may have missed this story that was announced late Friday afternoon ahead of a three-day weekend, which is exactly why it was announced late on a Friday afternoon before the start of a three-day weekend: Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler dropped all remaining charges against former El Paso County Sheriff Terry “The Shirtless Sheriff” Maketa.

So, this actually happened today: Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news – it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2018 As The Hill notes, there has not been a fatal commercial […]
(That sounds painful – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has been taking it pretty hard from all Coloradans, judging from his low approval ratings, and his conservative base isn’t giving him a pass when it comes to criticism either. In one recent Facebook post, for example, the North Jeffco Tea Party […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS took the unusual step of a second try at analyzing the GOP tax bills–and this time reporter Brandon Rittiman goes into commendably greater detail, and gets the bottom line much closer to right: We explained that under the House bill, about seven percent of taxpayers in unusual situations would pay more taxes instead […]
A press release before the holiday break from American Wind Energy Association condemns passage of the GOP-controlled House version of the so-called “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”–which contains a provision that won’t be good for jobs in one important industry to Colorado: The U.S. House of Representatives missed an opportunity to stand up for 60,000 American […]
UPDATE #2: Don’t hold your breath: Waiting to hear back from @RepMikeCoffman on the tax plan & its impact on the nat debt. This is from his campaign website. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/4rHp0iS8pq — Kara Mason (@karanormal) November 2, 2017 —— UPDATE: The National Association of Home Builders joins the chorus against the House GOP’s tax bill […]
Politico reports on the party-line votes yesterday in the U.S. Senate to kick “tax reform” into high gear–moving ahead with plans to slash taxes on most Americans, but especially rich ones, in exchange for $1.5 trillion (with a ‘T’) added to the deficit: GOP leaders, as well as House Budget Chairman Diane Black and Senate […]
Coming to grips with today’s terrible headlines out of Las Vegas is not easy for any of us. If you are medically eligible to make a blood donation, Bonfils Blood Center is a good place to start. We’ll comment more on this tragic situation once we feel it’s appropriate.
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) is making conflicting statements on whether he wants to continue to give health insurance to the 400,000 Coloradans, including 14,000 in his district, who got health insurance under Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid. This raises the familiar question with Coffman, Where does he really stand? If he […]
When someone is allowed to travel home when being in a very hospital setting for a protracted time, its normal for that individual to feel a way of relief mixed with a trifle of concern. Members of the person’s family additionally typically share those emotions. They will be questioning whether or not or not the […]
That’s the news sending palms crashing into foreheads around Colorado this Monday evening: two-time Colorado gubernatorial loser Bob Beauprez, one of the most spectacular failures in our state’s modern political history, is being “considered” by Republican President-elect Donald Trump for the job of Secretary of the Interior! As GOP metaspox “reporter” Dan Njegomir is excited to announce […]
“This loss hurts. But please — never stop believing that fighting for what is right is worth it.” — Hillary Clinton in her concession speech today. From CNN: Hillary Clinton on Wednesday delivered the most painful and potentially final, big speech of her political career on Wednesday after her stunning defeat to Donald Trump in the […]
Obama and Democrat leadership continue to complain about those nasty Republicans who block the good works of fair minded and compassionate citizens to implement progressive policy. Obama has in his hands the power to right this terrible wrong but refuses to use it. Why do Democrats refuse to pressure their leaders to exercise this weird […]
(Par for the course — Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Sen. Laura Woods (R-Arvada) has forgiven Trump for his comments about sexually assaulting women, according to an Associated Press story today, raising more questions for local media about the impact of Trump’s candidacy on Woods’ state senate race that will likely determine whether Democrats flip […]
(It’s kind of pathetic – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Senate candidate Jon Keyser has proven to be a horrible media critic, threatening a reporter with his dog and saying the media is out to get him, without offering any evidence for his anger. In fact, I can’t identify a single question from reporters that’s […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Hard pressed by Napoleon at Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington cried: “Give me night or give me Blucher!” In the end, Blucher’s hard-marching Prussians fell on the French rear and won the day for the allied armies. Hillary Clinton can be forgiven for voicing similar sentiments as she reels from a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado State Senator Tim Neville is promoting a gun give away to gin up support for his U.S. Senate campaign. The gun he is using to draw caucus goers is the AR-15 – the semi-automatic civilian version of the military M-16. There is much debate about whether the AR-15 is an […]
Being the largest conservatively owned/published/printed fishwrap in the state, the Colorado Springs Gazette has always been a preferred platform for local Republicans and Conservatives to spread their goodwill. And, being one of the most persistent overachievers on the Republican side, Mike Coffman has often been the recipient of The Gazette’s benevolence: Since August 9, [2006] […]
Like candy hearts on Valentine’s Day or Jack-o-lanterns on Halloween, for Tea Party Republicans, nothing says “Election Year” like an AR-15 assault rifle! Here’s the details from a fundraising email sent out yesterday from the U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Tim Neville: Because a strong turnout at the March 1st precinct caucuses are so important, to help […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) NEW NORTH MEXICO – Hooboy. #YallQaeda spokesman reveals intent of bird refuge occupiers. The Oregonian is reporting: BURNS – Protesters holding the bird sanctuary southeast of here want every county in the U.S. to start a process giving back federal land to the previous owners. They expect that process to start in […]
(They just can’t help themselves – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a article at the end of last year, Durango Herald reporter Peter Marcus reported that Colorado Republicans plan to continue introducing anti-abortion legislation during the upcoming legislative session, some of it specifically targeting Planned Parenthood. Marcus reported: This year, some Republicans are discussing measures […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Charles Ashby updated his story today, and in all fairness, it looks like he quoted Sen. Ellen Roberts wrong. As our readers already knew, Roberts voted against a budget amendment to restore funding for the state’s successful IUD contraception program, not for it as Ashby reported yesterday: Later, Democrats in the GOP-controlled Senate tried to […]
In the final hours of the legislative session last week, something bad happened. Lobbyists for the subprime lending industry sneaked in a last-minute bill to allow huge interest rate increases on certain personal loans. The Colorado Attorney General’s office estimates that this legislation could mean increases of almost 40% to the total cost of a […]
In the aftermath of the horrific attack on a pregnant Longmont woman last month, Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt said the crime was “the curse of God upon America” for allowing abortions. Klingenschmitt, no stranger to controversy as a frequent utterer of over-the-top claims about demon-possessed liberals and so forth, was hit with some of […]
"Joshua Sharf is a fiscal policy analyst for the Independence Institute, a free market think tank in Denver." From the Greeley Tribune article, October 29, 2014: "Sharf: Good and bad news for PERA in Colorado Supreme Court’s decision: "The Colorado Supreme Court granted some good news to the state’s troubled public pensions last week by […]
