WEDNESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark got a statement from Heidi Ganahl as local partners of the so-called “Job Creators Network” run away from their lawsuit against Denver: CLARK: Several Colorado organizations are listed as partners on the Job Creators Network website.

One year ago today, then-President Trump ordered peaceful protestors to be tear-gassed so that he could do a photo op with an upside-down Bible. Let’s Get More Smarter; if you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here’s a good example). If you are more of an audio learner, check […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) We’re often our own worst enemy. It wasn’t always this way. It was Democratic Socialist policies, rooted in The New Deal, that gave rural America the foundation upon which we built our network of thriving agriculturally-based communities. Rural electrification made possible irrigation across the broad expanse of the Central Great Plains; […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland follows up on a story we’ve been watching develop over the last week and a half, renewed infighting among the Colorado House Republican Minority after a mistaken vote by House Minority Leader Hugh McKean in favor of legislation to tighten background check requirements for gun sales. McKean, as we discussed […]
This week on Episode #76 of The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii try to understand what it means that so many Republicans think Donald Trump is still President; we explain why Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley) is full of crap; and we hear firsthand why Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) will […]
If you can’t beat ‘em, cheat ‘em! This is the Republican motto for the 2022 election, born out of “The Big Lie” that all good little Republican boys and girls are expected to endorse in order to avoid the wrath of Donald Trump and get around having to admit that the GOP lost both the […]
(“Free helicopter rides!” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) John Birch Society speaker Leah Southwell wants folks to know that Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet wasn’t such a bad guy. Political Science professors and historians disagree. Pinochet took power in a coup and ruled the country for 17 years before stepping aside (though remaining in command of […]
(“Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made an appearance at the Fremont County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner last Saturday, and delivered her rehearsed and flippant quip to the friendly crowd: “I’m having the time of my life there [in Congress], […]
Governor Polis has ordered flags to be flown at half staff in remembrance of eight people killed during yet another mass shooting — this time in San Jose, California.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On a KNUS radio show Saturday, host Jimmy Sengenberger aired a report by 9News Anchor Kyle Clark about Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s proposed camping ban. “It’s tough to find anyone who would call Denver’s homeless camping ban a success outside of the people who are paid to convince you of that,” […]
As The Washington Post reports, the Manhattan District Attorney has some bad news for former President Donald Trump: Manhattan’s district attorney has convened the grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former president Donald Trump, other executives at his company or the business itself, should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Right-wing radio host Dan Caplis got to the heart of the matter last week when he asked Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman what happens if homeless people ignore Coffman’s proposed camping ban and don’t relocate to Coffman’s “designated area.” “Where does that end,” asked Caplis on his KHOW show May 19. After […]
As the Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports, what’s it going to take to get a COVID-19 shot in your arm today? How about (dramatic pause) one million dollars? Colorado will hand out $5 million — $1 million each to five lucky winners — in an effort to encourage residents to get vaccinated against COVID-19, as […]
Suspend your disbelief long enough to check out this unusual fundraising missive from Rep. Ken Buck, running for re-election in Colorado’s heretofore safe 4th Congressional District: We realize this is a fundraising email, but are we really supposed to believe that Ken Buck “just got the news” redistricting is going to happen? Like it does […]
Colorado Newsline’s Moe Clark reports on plans announced yesterday by Gov. Jared Polis and the Democratic majority leadership in the General Assembly to spend almost $4 billion in federal assistance coming to the state as a result of the American Rescue Plan passed soon after President Joe Biden took office: Colorado Democratic leaders and lawmakers […]

With business ramping back up to capacity and COVID-19 restrictions easing, a number of Republican state governors have announced they will stop distributing the supplemental federal unemployment aid provided by COVID relief legislation, in an effort to “encourage” their state’s population to get back to work: At least 23 GOP-led states have announced this month […]

(With friends like these… – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On a Colorado talk radio show Tuesday, former GOP House Minority Leader Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock) lambasted a bill that would modify background check requirements for firearm purchases, exchanges, and transfers.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I’ve come around to agreeing, at least some of the time, with conservatives who tell me I shouldn’t get so upset about their endless jokes about immigrants, police murders, racism, and other stuff like that. But the problem I have with deciding whether to write about bigoted or hateful humor is, […]
Our friends at Right Wing Watch bring us the latest example of freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert doing the thing she does best, which is making stuff up on friendly right-wing media forums who would never think of fact-checking her in real time. Boebert appeared yesterday on the “prime time” streaming channel of far-right personality “Dr.” […]
