Party’s Back On In Singapore, Cory Gardner!

USA TODAY’s David Jackson reports via affiliate 9NEWS and it’s so damn exciting: After a rare meeting with a high-ranking North Korean official, President Trump said Friday he has rescheduled a June 12 summit in Singapore with Kim Jong Un as part of a long-term effort to try and end the latter’s nuclear weapons programs. […]

Dear Teachers for Kennedy Independent Expenditure Committee

I went to my mail box this afternoon and found your huge three-color mailer. It didn’t motivate me to vote for Cary Kennedy. It made me wonder why, in last night’s debate, she refused to call you out on misleading and negative ads. The fact that Cary Kennedy, who promised a clean campaign, would not […]

Caption This Photo: Cory and the General of Siam

Sen. Cory Gardner is in Thailand this week, and here’s photographic proof: We hadn’t seen any announcement of a foreign junket by Sen. Gardner, but his duties on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee frequently send him to Asia–like last year, when he paid a visit to controversial Filipino strongman Rodrigo Duterte and caught flak for […]

What you can do to fight back this week (May 29)

Colorado’s economy is booming, but not everyone is sharing in the good times. With the cost of living in Colorado soaring, thousands of working families are forced every year to turn to unscrupulous “payday lenders” who charge incredibly high interest rates on small loans. Because of the high cost of borrowing from payday lenders, borrowers […]

Trump Boosts Jared Polis (No, Really)

As the Fort Collins Coloradoan’s Nick Coltrain reports, Rep. Jared Polis appears to have gainfully poked the bear: A bill introduced by Fort Collins’ Congressman Jared Polis apparently earned the ire of President Donald Trump on Memorial Day. Trump tweeted that a bill to repeal his administration’s signature Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would be “too […]

Planned Parenthood Hires Union Buster to “Avoid” Employee Union

Over the weekend I posted a link to an article by The Intercept about how Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood was fighting unionization of its workers by Local 105 of the SEIU. PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS ASKING DONALD TRUMP’S LABOR BOARD FOR HELP BUSTING ITS COLORADO UNION Since then I have done a little research – over […]

Trump’s EPA, Colorado Springs’ Pollution: Dirty Deeds Afoot?

A story published Friday by the Colorado Springs Independent, a frequent source for the straight dope on happenings along the Ronald Reagan Highway when the Phil Anschutz-owned newspaper of record for that city turns a blind eye, is causing considerable concern among Colorado Springs’ neighbors to the south along the city’s principal drainage Fountain Creek.

Coffman First Praised Trump for Planning a Summit with North Korea and Then for Canceling It

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) jumped on the radio this morning to say it’s a good thing Trump isn’t “so eager” to hold a summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. But three months ago, when Trump was facing criticism for impulsively pursuing a summit, Coffman said it was “positive” for […]

Walker Stapleton Just Makes Stuff Up (MMJ Edition)

Ed Sealover at the Denver Business Journal released an overall fawning profile of GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Walker Stapleton earlier today. Given Stapleton’s solidifying reputation for making stuff up on the campaign trail, any such profile is likely to contain an item or two in need of correction, whether or not the reporter catches it–and the […]

Tuesday Open Thread

“Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Davos and the 51st State

Agriculture is one of the largest global industries yet to be disrupted.  Less than a decade ago who would have recognized the names Moderna? General Assembly? Alibaba? Netflix? Grubhub? Square or Venmo? AirBnB? We’re a conservative bunch, prone to the belief that we’re ‘different’; that somehow our way of life is immune to the global […]

What you can do to fight back this week (May 21)

Another terrible school shooting. Once again the debates over how to stop the carnage of mass shootings begin, the talking heads recite their talking points, and politicians weigh the cost/benefit of saving lives versus pleasing big donors. It’s a sad, predictable cycle that frustrates everyone except those who benefit from the deadly status quo. We […]

Stapleton Blows Friendliest School Safety Interview Ever

Heads are spinning this morning over an interview of Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton on the Fox News Channel in response to yesterday’s tragic school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas–an interview in which Stapleton showed himself to be painfully unprepared to discuss one of the nation’s most critical issues: .@WalkerStapleton: “There should be.. an armed […]

Walker Stapleton Has a PERA Problem

State Treasurer Walker Stapleton still appears to be the frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination with less than six weeks to go until the June 26th Primary, but the wheels are coming off when it comes to Stapleton’s signature issue of PERA reform.
