UPDATE 1:40PM: The very same far-right conservative firebreather Michelle Malkin (see below) is on the scene of today’s hot mess of an “Operation Gridlock Denver” protest, and the rich, tangy irony warms our hearts: #reopencokorado denver https://t.co/k3fF0hUzH1 — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) April 19, 2020 And she’s meeting the most amazing friends: Stay safe, which at […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A conservative talk radio host and former spokeswoman for a failed effort to recall Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) is helping spread the word about MayDay-Colorado.com, which is encouraging Colorado businesses to open May 1, whether or not they have government authorization to do so. Karen Kataline appeared this morning on conservative […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii discuss big news in the first quarter fundraising numbers for federal campaigns; ponder whether Republican House Minority Leader Patrick Neville might be the worst person in Colorado; and try to understand why anyone would be protesting against efforts to prevent them […]
We noted last month on The Get More Smarter Podcast that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was identified as a high-profile attendee of a lavish champagne-tasting party in Palm Beach, Florida. Today, Justin Wingerter of The Denver Post catches up on this story and a related ethics complaint that looks really, really, REALLY bad for Gardner: On […]
Boulder, CO is officially the snowiest city in America this winter. Can we blame El Niño? Now, let’s Get More Smarter.

Conservative sort-of news outlet Washington Times put up a story yesterday after interviewing Sen. Cory Gardner on the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re obliged to use the word “interview” loosely in this case, since it’s tough to call this anything close to incisive or informative. In fact, it almost seems like it […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: Oh, neat. President Trump is now ENCOURAGING this behavior. —– Right-wing Republicans across the country are shaking their fists at stay-at-home restrictions because the coronavirus wouldn’t respond to their complaints. As a result, this week has seen ridiculous protests in places like Michigan, and Colorado is next on the list. Organizers are planning […]
(COVID4America! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Citizen Press, an anonymous conservative blog whose sponsors include Take Back Colorado, a political committee tied to Republican State House Leader Patrick Neville, published an item this morning that promotes two protests on Sunday calling on Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) to allow businesses to open, despite the ongoing […]
Michael Karlik reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette: U.S. Reps. Doug Lamborn and Ken Buck signed on to a letter to the Trump Administration on Tuesday advising against a suspension of the ban on fetal tissue research — which they described as “research using aborted baby body parts” — in pursuit of a treatment for […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Less than two weeks ago, we wrote asking you to contact Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, and tell him to stop putting Colorado lives at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic with his outrageous and irresponsible rhetoric: openly encouraging resistance to stay-at-home orders to combat the pandemic, and comparing the battle […]
UPDATE: Via the Denver Post’s Alex Burness, House Minority Leader Patrick Neville starts the backpedaling: I called House Minority Leader Patrick Neville a bit ago. He declined to apologize for his "Gestapo" remark, but said, "I should have said authoritarian, not Gestapo." He also accused Polis today of making "political hay out of something that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If a COVID-19 vaccine is developed, what about so-called “anti-vaxxers” who refuse it for religious or philosophical reasons? It turns out Colorado, where vaccinations are currently recommended but not required for adults, has the authority to force you to roll up your sleeve and get the shot. But experts say it’s […]

Republican George Brauchler represents Arapahoe County and parts of a few other counties as the District Attorney in the 18th Judicial District. Brauchler failed at two statewide campaigns in 2018 — first for Governor, then for Attorney General — and is term-limited in 2020. In recent months Brauchler has been prepping for a post-government career […]
Responding to the latest damage control efforts from the Trump administration over the co-opting of 500 ventilators previously bound for Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis was more diplomatic than we could ever hope to be–but did not change the state’s position, via the Colorado Sun’s Unaffiliated newsletter today: A Polis spokesman did not address the FEMA […]

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports–it would appear somebody has come to the conclusion that last week’s public relations debacle for Sen. Cory Gardner, who tried to turn the negative story of an order by the state of Colorado for 500 ventilator machines snatched up by the federal government into a positive via a […]
On Monday, President Trump held a 2 1/2 hour coronavirus briefing that was mostly about self-congratulation and media bashing. As Ashley Parker writes for The Washington Post: Yet in the middle of this deadly pandemic that shows no obvious signs of abating, the president made clear that the paramount concern for Trump is Trump — […]
“total power” Delay the census. I think the math is pretty straight forward in the big picture. I’m nos sure which states it puts back in play – but that will show later.

The latest data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment shows that Weld County, with a population around 350,000, now has the most number of COVID-19 fatalities of any county in the state–more than several counties with around twice Weld County’s population including the City and County of Denver. We noted a week […]
In case you missed it last Friday night, there was an ugly coda to the spectacular failure last week by Sen. Cory Gardner to turn the lemon of the Trump administration’s co-opting of 500 ventilators sought by the state of Colorado into arithmetically challenged “lemonade” of a mere 100 ventilators after Gardner’s “personal request” to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) When U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) gets on a plane Monday, to head back to Washington, he has “no plans” to wear a mask. That should surprise no one who’s been paying attention to the Colorado Congressman, who said last month that it’s “just craziness” to shut down businesses due to […]
