We couldn’t help but chuckle a bit at this story from the Colorado Springs Gazette about a new endorsement in the race for the next Chair of the State Republican Party: Jeff Hays’s campaign for Colorado GOP chair circulated yet another letter from a Republican notable Thursday — state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman — in support of his bid. Hays’s rival […]

That was the scene on the West Steps of the Colorado state capitol building today, as Treasurer Walker Stapleton’s long-hyped rally for congressional term limits took place on an unseasonably warm Thursday afternoon. As we’ve discussed in this space and readers have seen in site ads for weeks, this event had a very large promotional […]

We’re obliged to bring to our readers’ attention a distressing situation affecting one of our longtime readers and guest bloggers, Paonia-based environmental activist Pete Kolbenschlag. For years, Kolbenschlag has provided our community with insightful commentary on energy and conservation issues affecting Colorado’s energy-rich Western Slope. But as the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reported this week, […]
The Boulder Daily Camera’s Charlie Brennan reports on growing unease in Boulder, home to numerous important federal environmental research facilities including the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, as the Trump administration prepares to take a hacksaw to parts of the government that don’t comport with the new president’s vision–like climate science: Little more than a […]

Republicans will have to pass a healthcare bill in order to find out what it says. This has been a popular joke around Capitol Hill recently, and like any good yarn, it is one that has its roots in reality. According to a Tweet from Rep. Mike Coffman’s office this afternoon, the Aurora Republican was hunkered down at his […]

UPDATE: We’re thinking of a word that starts with “cluster” and rhymes with “duck.” There’s no better way to encapsulate the just-released newest version of a House Republican Obamacare repeal plan. —– Another major twist in the intra-GOP battle over repealing the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, a long-sought objective of the Republican Party now imperiled as […]
For weeks, concerned citizens across Colorado and the nation have turned out in massive numbers to voice our concerns about the direction of our country under President Trump. This weekend, Trump’s supporters vowed a response. And it was a flop. Pro-Trump rallies failed across America to attract anything close to the crowds who have showed […]
Last Monday, a pro-President Donald Trump “Spirit of America” rally was held on the steps of the Colorado state capitol building–the first of two such long-planned and widely-publicized pro-Trump gatherings, intended to answer over a month of huge protests against the new President. As and we could have predicted, Trump’s rally in the middle of a […]
When is the perfect time to clean the duct? There is no exact time although it is recommended that you should check your air vent or duct at least twice a month or once every two weeks. You can schedule to check you duct vent for longer period of time around once a month, but […]
As a business owner, knowing where your finances are, how much tax you should pay, and when you should pay your tax are important for your business growth. It has become a clear fact that a good financial condition enables you to cover all business activities more conveniently. As in your effort to create a […]
As the Durango Herald’s Jessica Pace reported this week–although Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah pulled a bill earlier this year to sell off “surplus” public lands under heavy criticism from conservationists, Chaffetz is evidently not done trying to weaken protections over wild Western lands–and locals in Southwest Colorado are sounding the alarm: La Plata County commissioners […]
(Mike Coffman flip-flops once again – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Coffman responded to Joey Bunch: Coffman: “My comment was referring to legislation where I could see that between 2013 and until recently, nothing was getting done in D.C., and that it would be better for the American people to hold the majority party in […]

UPDATE #4: Attorney General Jeff Sessions recuses himself from any investigation into the 2016 presidential elections as questions about his testimony continue. —– UPDATE #3: Looks like Sen. Cory Gardner may have finally realized this is a problem, but still no call even for Sessions to recuse himself from the Russiagate investigation: .@SenCoryGardner statement on […]
Talking about healthcare reform is easy. Donald Trump says that Obamacare will be repealed and replaced “with something terrific,” though he doesn’t have any idea what that might entail (and if he does, he’s not saying anything specific). Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) sums up Republican healthcare efforts by saying,”On health insurance: lower the cost of care and increase the quality […]
Marianne Goodland of the Colorado Independent reports on a familiar wrinkle for constituents trying to convey messages to the office of their Congressional representative — in this case, Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora): When the Arapahoe County Young Democrats, led by Kronda Seibert, approached the door of the building, they were met by a man, later named by both Seibert and the […]
(Fascinating red-on-red infighting – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On her radio show over the weekend, veteran journalist Julie Hayden said she’d had “dreams” about leaving local TV news, and finally the “universe conspired to give me a kick in the fanny.” And so she retired last week from Fox 31 Denver. Most of the reasons Hayden […]

President Trump is expected to focus on his budget plans when he delivers his first speech to a joint session of Congress tonight, but Congressional Republicans are just as eager to learn more from Trump about a potential roadmap for the repeal/replacement of Obamacare. As Politico writes, Republicans have been perplexed about the White House “strategy” on Obamacare, which […]
State Treasurer Walker Stapleton is not funny. Not intentionally, anyway. We feel compelled to point this out after reading a particularly-sad attempt at political spin from a local right-wing blog that is harder to swallow than a tennis ball. Stapleton was interviewed last week by Kyle Clark of 9News, not long after Deputy Treasurer Jon Forbes resigned from […]
An editorial in today’s Denver Post continues a tradition that local political observers have become keenly aware of in recent years, not just around Sen. Cory Gardner but other favored Republican politicians: a disregard for the editorial board’s stated values in order to protect individual lawmakers. But yes, today the editorial is about Cory Gardner, and his […]
