(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”~Edmund Burke When I was about nine years old my parents took me to Dachau. We were living in Stuttgart, on a U.S. Army base and it was 1975. The Wall still divided Berlin into East and West, […]
If you read longtime Colorado writer Ari Armstrong, you know he swims in conservative circles, but he’s frustrated with liberals and conservatives. He’s an outspoken proponent of abortion rights and drug legalization, for example, but he also opposes, generally, progressive government do-good programs. He doggedly tries to apply a logical philosophical framework to the stuff […]

(God help us all – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In what appear to be his most extensive comments yet on his possible appointment as Trump’s Secretary of Interior, former congressman Bob Beauprez told KOA 850-AM listeners this morning why he’d be a good fit for the job. “This is where most of the federal land […]
Michael Wines of the New York Times has a fascinating look at a new court ruling in Wisconsin that has the potential to dramatically change the process of redistricting/reapportionment across the country. A panel of three federal judges ruled on Monday that the Wisconsin legislature relied upon unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering when it redrew state legislative districts in […]
A local angle on a story making headlines across the country, after police in North Dakota used water cannons in freezing weather on protesters sending many to the hospital. CBS4 Denver reports: Protesters are trying to block the construction of the 1,100-mile oil pipeline. They say it threatens drinking water on the nearby American-Indian reservation. […]

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 […]
Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan announced last week that he would challenge longtime Democratic Congressional boss Nancy Pelosi for the title of Minority Leader. Democrats will hold a caucus vote next Wednesday (November 30th) — a delayed vote requested by Democrats in the wake of a difficult 2016 election. It is probably still too early to […]
UPDATE: Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver says “hell no” to Sen. Jeff Sessions: “As the president’s top advisor on matters of law and justice, the man or woman in this position must possess a firm commitment to civil rights,” DeGette said. “However, Senator Sessions’ regressive record on immigration, LGBT equality and civil liberties, along with his shocking […]

I’ve given a lot of thought to this, and I need to say what I think. Democrats in Congress should do everything in their power to resist and subvert everything Donald Trump wants to do as President of the United States. No reaching across the aisle. No bipartisanship. No compromise on anything, no matter how […]
A sad story with a happy ending today from Denver7’s Blair Miller: A transgender woman says she woke up to find her car vandalized with hate speech, a swastika and a pro-Donald Trump message in Denver’s Capitol Hill Wednesday morning, and police are now investigating… Among the messages painted on her car were: “fag,” “die […]

Last week’s election was a disaster for America. Today, millions of Americans from all walks of life are rightfully afraid for the future, for their families, and for their safety, and wondering how the country they love could have made such a terrible choice. Here in Colorado, things went a little differently. Colorado rejected Donald […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock), whose voice is familiar to listeners of conservative talk radio, was elected state house minority leader Thursday. Asked if he could see anything beyond gridlock coming out of next year’s legislative session, Neville said he had a “decent” and “productive” lunch with Gov. John Hickenlooper, […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last Wednesday I changed my party affiliation from Democrat to Unaffiliated. I did my best to stick with them in spite of my many misgivings about the positions that our state Democratic leaders staked out on a number of issues. A few years ago I circulated an online petition which gathered […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Thank you to my fellow brothers and sisters in arms. Less than 2% of Americans will serve in the military. That 2% has offered to sacrifice their lives to protect our nation its freedom and liberty. Many return from service with physical and mental injuries. Some that may not be apparent […]
As the Denver Post’s Chris Osher reports, a wild morning for Republicans at today’s Colorado General Assembly leadership elections yielded some unexpected developments–and some, well not so unexpected: State House Republicans on Thursday opted to choose one of their more conservative members as minority leader, rejecting a representative who raised $1.5 million for legislative races […]

Broomfield is #1…on this list. As “The Fix” reports, Broomfield voters are pretty good at predicting statewide election results if you compare election results from each county: We looked at this at three levels: Closest to state results since 1960, closest since 1992 and closest in 2012. The 10 counties that have been closest to […]
