The Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson follows up on a growing scandal within the Colorado Republican Party, following an unsuccessful attempt by state party chairman Rep. Ken Buck to coerce a district chair to lie about the results of the Senate District 10 assembly under penalty of perjury in order to qualify a candidate for the […]
(Just call him DA Makes Stuff Up – Promoted by Colorado Pols) District Attorney George Brauchler is falsely claiming that Gov. Polis is withholding millions in federal COVID-19 funding from rural counties and cities. In a Sunday opinion column in The Denver Post, Brauchler warned of an impending “crime wave” due to several pandemic-related issues, […]
(Hater radio lovefest! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In advance of his radio station’s online discussion with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), KNUS host Steffan Tubbs warned “not to expect breaking news” from his “virtual town hall” with Gardner tonight at 7 p.m. Still, Tubbs said he’d ask “what I perceive to be tough questions” […]
Late yesterday a new poll on the Colorado Senate race from Montana State University and The University of Denver came out with some pretty stunning numbers. From Forbes: In a sign of Colorado’s increasingly Democratic lean, a poll released Tuesday showed former Gov. John Hickenlooper with a commanding lead over Republican Sen. Cory Gardner in […]
Well run States should not be bailing out poorly run States, using CoronaVirus as the excuse! The elimination of Sanctuary Cities, Payroll Taxes, and perhaps Capital Gains Taxes, must be put on the table. Also lawsuit indemnification & business deductions for restaurants & ent. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 5, 2020 Another jaw-dropper of […]

Last Friday, as readers know, there was a plot afoot for an illegal armed protest at the Colorado state capitol that failed to materialize under heavy police presence. Detailed “rules of engagement” instructions were given for participants to arrive with their weapons “hot, locked, and ready to rock,” and criteria outlined for when to open […]
As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, the forecast fiscal casualties for the state of Colorado as the General Assembly looks to un-pause the 2020 session later this month are piling up, with the massive revenue decline faced by the state putting the obligatory kibosh on a slew of Democratic policy priorities they began the […]
Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. The last six weeks have been very hard on everyone, but the measures we took in Colorado to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic are working. [1] The proof is in the curve we flattened and the lives we saved by staying home, and it’s not over. […]
Three years ago today, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed legislation that was intended to destroy the Obama-era Affordable Care Act (ACA). All of the cool Republican kids voiced support for destroying the ACA in 2016, and they very nearly succeeded in doing just that in 2017 before the late Sen. John McCain gave […]
These are the pipe bombs allegedly manufactured by Bradley Bunn, per the affidavit. When an FBI agent asked to make clear he planned on using them on police in the event of a raid, he allegedly replied, “F— yes.” https://t.co/NrTHSYegAs pic.twitter.com/Dq59wmZgoN — Denver7 News (@DenverChannel) May 4, 2020 As the Denver Post’s Bruce Finley reports: […]

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…we talk about UFOs! No, seriously. Hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii also discuss the latest on coronavirus; Sen. Cory Gardner poppin’ bottles; a potential ballot initiative nightmare this November; and an update on a couple of important stories that we’ve discussed before. House Majority Leader Alec Garnett […]
“However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him.” –Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux
We’ve occasionally taken time in this space to discuss the completely absurd editorial board of The Colorado Springs Gazette, which is basically the newspaper version of your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. In fact, we wrote about the Gazette editorial board just a few weeks ago after it vomited out an opinion titled: “Should we save all […]
During interviews with reporters on Friday, Gov. Jared Polis disclosed an interesting–but not very comforting–development in the race/game/”free market experiment” to obtain vital supplies to combat the COVID19 pandemic. Everyone knows by now about the intra-governmental treachery Colorado encountered trying to purchase 500 ventilator machines for the state’s emergency inventory, only to have that purchase […]
(Every picture says a thousand stupid words – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Times Recorder reporter Madeleine Schmidt co-authored this post. Approximately 250 people rallied at the capitol today against public health orders aiming to stop the spread of COVID-19, many of them equating such orders to “tyranny” and criticizing Gov. Jared Polis’ leadership. Very […]
Today is the day that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp — who has been a symbol of everything NOT to do in response to a global pandemic — lifted a shelter-in-place order for most of the state’s residents. Kemp had already ordered most Georgia businesses to re-open as of Monday, which most health experts believed to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In response to a statement by U.S. Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) that Colorado and other states “use the bankruptcy route” to deal with state budget shortfalls resulting from COVID-19, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock today called on Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) to use his influence on McConnell “to stand up for […]
UPDATE 12:45PM: The revolution has reportedly started, but the army is nowhere to be found. Reports from the scene tell us there are no guns, and not really even that many pro-COVID protesters at the Colorado state capitol today. Moreover, there appear to be enough Denver Police and Colorado state troopers on hand to comfortably […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: It’s more than a little disconcerting to bring you this update, but the President of the United States has thrown his lot in with the armed protesters who stormed the Michigan state capitol building yesterday. The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, […]
During the ongoing COVID-19 emergency, prior votes to cut funding to the Centers for Disease Control and other related public health agencies have emerged as a major political liability for the generally Republican owners of those votes up for re-election in 2020. This includes America’s Most Vulnerable Senator™ Cory Gardner, who in both the House […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports, state lawmakers are starting to consider where to make cuts in the state budget because of a coronavirus-related revenue shortfall of somewhere between $3 billion and $4 billion (out of a total budget of around $34 billion): Since the start of the pandemic, personal income and sales taxes have plummeted. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) One of the many surprisingly effective qualities of the cardboard cutout of U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO), which was built to highlight the senator’s decision not to hold town-hall meetings for years, is how photogenic it is, especially when it interacts with real humans. When people see the smiling cardboard cutout, […]
