(Promoted by Colorado Pols) An assistant professor of legal studies at Colorado Christian University apologized Friday for “any offense” she might have caused in stating during a radio show Wednesday that she’d fail students who “wear a safety pin and ask for a safe space.” She also said on air that she’d “tear” safety pins […]
“I’m sure at Colorado Christian University, there are a lot of safe spaces right now,” said KLZ radio’s Dan Meurer in introducing an interview segment with guest host Jenna Ellis, an assistant professor of legal studies and leadership at CCU. “No, there are not, and if any of my students wear a safety pin and ask for […]
(Setting the record straight – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Reporters shouldn’t be fooled by Rep. Mike Coffman’s recycled attempts to paint his Democratic challanger Morgan Carroll as anti-immigrant. Coffman tried the same tactic in 2014 and failed. The point needs to be made in light of the Coffman’s campaign tweet last week that Carroll “supported […]
Aurora Sentinel editor Dave Perry published an absolutely scathing editorial this morning calling on Colorado Republican politicians to immediately and irrevocably denounce Donald Trump as the Republican candidate for President. We’d encourage you to read the entire editorial, but here are a few excerpts: Last week, Congressman Mike Coffman tapped a political white cane around the tea party’s […]
Tonight in Cleveland at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump will formally accept the GOP nomination for President (unless he doesn’t, which would be really interesting). Colorado Democrats aren’t waiting for Trump to make his intentions official to start lashing the GOP nominee — and his litany of questionable statements and policy ideas — to the side of […]
My goal is to report and comment on what people actually believe. I don’t want to report inaccuracies or “catch” talk-radio hosts or anybody saying something they did not mean to say. That’s why I usually tell people whom I interview or quote to call me if I get something wrong–or if they want to add […]
Last night’s horrific shooting of multiple police officers assigned to a protest against police brutality in Dallas is a central point of discussion today across America.

As ballots arrive in Colorado mailboxes for the June 28th primary election, the Republican HD-16 primary between incumbent Rep. Janak Joshi and former Rep. Larry Liston in Colorado Springs is getting nastier by the minute–with the latest volley from Joshi, unleashing a lengthy radio spot slamming Liston’s “RINO” record in the state legislature: Ouch! Not what any […]
An exchange in the Colorado Senate last Friday evening is provoking much controversy today–during debate over House Bill 16-1426, which would make it a petty offensive to falsely claim a pet as a trained “service animal” so as to obtain accommodations provided by law for such animals. During debate over the bill Friday, GOP Sen. Tim Neville had […]
This just in, Karen Middleton at NARAL Pro Choice Colorado is calling for accountability from Colorado Senate President Bill Cadman after an offensive post on social media from Senate Communications Director Sean Paige: Today on social media, Senate Republican caucus spokesman Sean Paige used a sexual slur to refer to former Secretary of State and Democratic […]

A reader forwarded us this rather alarming story from KRDO-13 out of Pueblo County yesterday, about a course offered to middle school students in Colorado City: “It’s a lot of guns to have in a school, especially because you don’t have this many just at your house or something,” 8th grade student Courtney Proctor said. [Jim] Heath, a […]
As the Washington Post reports, the all-important Senate Judiciary Committee is locking down against holding any hearings on a possible replacement for recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia: Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are determined not to hold hearings on President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, making it clear on Tuesday […]
The Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins, Colorado’s freshman Sen. Cory Gardner goes unscripted on the stump in New Hampshire for Marco Rubio: As a fresh-faced conservative on the rise in his party, Gardner has been introducing himself to audiences in early primary states where attendees might not know much about the young pol from Yuma, Colorado. So […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) There’s a local angle on Obama’s comment last night that “some of the only people in America who are going to work the same job, in the same place, with a health and retirement package, for 30 years, are sitting in this chamber. For everyone else, especially folks in their forties […]
FRIDAY UPDATE #2: Liberal group ProgressNow Colorado slams Sonnenberg in a statement: “The right wing’s all-consuming hatred for President Obama is well known, but Sen.

In honor of Denver talk-radio host Mike Rosen’s last regular show (today at noon), I thought I’d offer you some jokes Rosen told in April on air. He said he wanted to give “equal time” to women. Rosen: “There are the old clichéd blond jokes and other techniques at taking pot shots at women. This falls into […]
