Via Politico, here’s turnover in the highest reaches of the Trump administration Americans uninterested in starting another war won’t object to: “I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House,” Trump wrote. “I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and […]

As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports: When Colorado’s Gary Hart ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 1984, he was a “long shot” going into the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire. The U.S. senator pulled off a “stunning” victory over the front runner, Walter Mondale, eventually propelling Hart to the head of the […]
Two stories arriving back-to-back at the end of this week are putting a considerable damper on celebrations over the impending move by the Bureau of Land Management from Washington, D.C. to Grand Junction, Colorado–a move hailed by Republicans for the shifting of fewer than thirty full-time jobs, while criticized as part of a plan to […]

Remaining today’s big national politics story and as we noted in today’s Get More Smarter, President Donald Trump is diverting billions in defense construction dollars to fund his pet project wall along the southern U.S. border–and breaking a promise that Sen. Cory Gardner had made to Colorado voters last March, the diversion of funds includes […]

UPDATE: A statement from the Denver Republican Party chairwoman Kristina Cook acknowledges the clap back from Bernice King but blames the controversy on rascal Democrats on social media– while admitting both the photo and the comment are accurate if not originally meant to be, you know, viewed together: On Tuesday, as happens too often in […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The mysterious implosion of the county GOP party in Colorado Springs may hamper Republican efforts to fortify itself against a blue wave that appears to be heading our way again next year. With so many of the state’s Republicans congregated in El Paso (157,208 registered Republican voters), and the rapidly growing […]
(Did someone change the definition of “bipartisan”? Did we miss that? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) issued a news release Wednesday about a new report showing Gardner to be “one of the most bipartisan Senators” in Congress. It turns out the report, produced by Quorum Analytics, a software company, looks […]
As the intraparty tempest following the entry into the Democratic U.S. Senate primary of former Gov. John Hickenlooper continues apace today, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) choice to endorse Hickenlooper from the outset in the race over a slate of lesser-known candidates continues to provoke debate, former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff is […]
The Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports on a delightful and long-overdue showdown between Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado Oil and Gas Association yesterday, which culminated in Gov. Polis giving attendees at COGA’s annual meeting a remedial run-through of the state of global energy markets and oil prices in particular that left industry flacks, hacks, […]
American farmers are mad. “I couldn’t vote for him. I have to protect my business,” Ohio soybean farmer Christopher Gribbs told CNBC earlier this month. Gribbs voted for Trump in 2016 and was once part of the President’s midwestern base, but no longer. “The geopolitical problems that we have with the Trump tariffs have weighed […]
Newsmax, a right-wing media outlet not generally known for high journalistic standards, nonetheless reports news our readers will be keen to discuss: Should Reps.

A leader of the effort to recall a Pueblo Democrat, who’s the leader of the Colorado Senate, got some simple but tough questions from KOA radio hosts Aug. 21. Appearing on the station’s Good Morning Colorado show, recall organizer Susan Carr said Colorado State Sen. Leroy Garcia (D-Pueblo) isn’t representing his district, in part because […]
.@SenCoryGardner has done a fantastic job representing the people of Colorado. He really knows how to win. Strong on Crime, Borders & the 2nd A, Cory fights hard for our Military & Vets.

We’ve remarked on many occasions about the ability of Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing whatsoever. Gardner’s ability to string together gibberish sentences in response to any serious question is, frankly, quite remarkable. Gardner is a true pablum professional, and he is really upping his game as […]
