In the Sunday Daily Sentinel, dated May 8, 2016, Christian Reece, Executive Director of Club 20, was published as a guest editorial. The title was “Supreme Court ruling a victory for property rights, jobs.” Today I found an “opinion” editorial by Kelly Brough, President and CEO of Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, published in the […]
UPDATE: Surprise! Another change: JUST IN: Judge lifts stay on @ColoSecofState, puts @RyanLFrazier on #cosen primary ballot BUT he must w/draw if appeal fails #copolitics — Ernest Lee Luning (@eluning) May 5, 2016 —– If you’ve been following efforts to finalize the ballot for the GOP U.S. Senate race, you are well aware of the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The local response to Trump’s big win last night should catch the attention of journalists now, with Colorado Republicans coming to grips with Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee. On the pro-Trump side, as I’ve blogged many times, there’s apparently only one elected official in the state of Colorado who’s actually […]
On Monday we wrote about the “Winners and Losers” from the Q1 fundraising period in Colorado’s two marquee federal races: U.S. Senate and CO-6. The numbers we compared were those that were made publicly available to media outlets, but as we’ve said before, those numbers often look much different when you get a chance to see the […]
As FOX31 Denver reports: The Douglas County School District has purchased 10 long rifles for its armed security officers. The Bushmaster long rifles will not be housed on school grounds. They will be locked up at the district security office and bus depot along Highway 85. “The weapons currently every day will be inside of a […]
When we discuss the Senate race here at Colorado Pols, we often write that “there are more than a dozen” Republican candidates in 2016. This is, admittedly, a vaguely bizarre statement. But it is difficult to provide a more specific answer to a query that is not as precise as it may seem. How many […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On Wednesday, March 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt. This is the case that will decide whether or not to uphold Texas’ anti-choice TRAP laws. The Court’s decision is expected to be announced in June. TRAP laws are designed to make it impossible for […]
As the Colorado Independent’s Susan Greene reports, GOP Attorney General Cynthia Coffman had a bizarre “Twitter meltdown” last week following the interview of the mother of Dylan Klebold, of one of the perpetrators of the 1999 Columbine High School mass shooting: Ted Zocco-Hochhalter — father of a student who was paralyzed in the 1999 rampage — didn’t […]
KDVR FOX 31 reported last night on the death in the Republican-controlled Senate State Affairs committee yesterday of Senate Bill 16-043, a bill to increase disclosure of terms for private student loans: The facts haven’t changed: The average college student now graduates with nearly $30,000 in debt. In Colorado, residents collectively account for more than […]
On the conservative talk radio Tuesday, GOP Chair Steve House amplified Republican lawmakers’ objections to the parental-leave legislation, which advanced in the state House yesterday. Steve House said the bill, which allows parents to attend a limited number of school functions, is unneeded because employers already treat their employees nicely. House: The point you just […]
To best understand the relationship between the outcome of the Iowa caucuses yesterday and Colorado politics, we’ll refer back to the Denver Post’s John Frank, and his story late last month on the state of the Republican U.S. Senate primary: The presidential contest is defining the early outlook on Colorado’s race, creating an opening for […]
If you missed out on all of the happenings from the Iowa caucus last night — or if you are still buried in a snow cave somewhere — Colorado Pols has you covered. Here’s a quick recap of what happened at the Iowa caucuses, and what happened next… But first, kudos to Pols reader “flatiron” for […]
(Um… – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Over the weekend, Colorado GOP Vice Chair Derrick Wilburn Facebooked the photo below from the MLK marade. Willburn, who was elected by to his Republican Party post last year, is the founder of American Conservatives of Color, whose slogan is “Truth Transcends Color.” Wilburn: A few minutes ago waiting for […]
Republican critics of Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump have often used some variation of the line that “Trump won’t be the nominee” as an excuse to avoid offering an opinion on some of the more bombastic statements from His Hairness. Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) — who for some reason is absolutely terrified of saying anything about Trump — has used […]
By now most people are aware that the history that brings us Thanksgiving is not all as sanguine as we may have been led to believe. The subtext of conquest is bitter to swallow for many. And abundance itself can devolve to gluttony and greed – stampeding consumerism no longer contained to the immediate Black […]
(Raise your hand if you are surprised that Dan Caplis is involved — Promoted by Colorado Pols) After using his radio show, a newspaper column, and misinformation to whip up anger against a peaceful East High School protest last year, KNUS radio host Dan Caplis is now apparently suing the Denver Public Schools, city officials, DPS teachers/administrators, or possibly […]
Colorado Pols first reported in August that former Aurora city council member Ryan Frazier was trying to generate support in Washington D.C. for a potential 2016 U.S. Senate campaign. We reported the Frazier rumor with tongue firmly planted in cheek, because Frazier has actually proven that he cannot run a competitive race for…well, anything. As we wrote […]
As CNN reports, Vice President Joe Biden is “making calls” about entering the race for President: Vice President Joe Biden has personally made a series of calls this week to Democratic strategists from Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, asking a final round of detailed questions about how — not whether — to launch a 2016 presidential campaign. […]
Several months have passed since the Colorado Republican Party exploded in a spate of allegations between supporters of party chairman Steve House and a group of critics led by Attorney General Cynthia Coffman who sought House’s resignation. In a confrontation at a Denver restaurant between Coffman and House also attended by conservative firebrand Tom Tancredo, House […]
The Aurora Theater Shooting trial finally came to a close on Wednesday when Judge Carlos Samour Jr. sentenced convicted killer James Holmes to 12 consecutive life sentences, and another 3,318 years in prison for good measure. Following the sentencing, Samour put an exclamation point on the trial when he said, “Get the defendant out of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: AP reports on Gov. John Hickenlooper’s visit to Durango today: Colorado’s governor thinks a mine spill accidentally triggered by an EPA crew will move the state and federal government to more aggressively tackle the “legacy of pollution” left by mining in the West. Gov. John Hickenlooper said Tuesday that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you take a close look at Colorado State University President Tony Frank’s July 23 decision to suspend the school’s use of fetal tissue from vendors “implicated in the Planned Parenthood investigation,” you’re left wondering what kind of strange and half-assed process the University implemented in making its new policy. There’s […]
Check out this bizarre video posted to Rep. Mike Coffman’s Facebook page on July 30 as a “tribute” to “National Whistleblower Appreciation Day.” No, really, you need to watch this: Look, nobody is going to confuse Coffman as one of the better orators of his generation, but this is incredibly weird even by his relatively-low […]
(Drip, drip, drip – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a Facebook post Monday, GOP activist Marilyn Marks called on a Republican Party committee to “due diligence to inform themselves of what matters the state party has referred to prosecutors.” Responding to Monday’s article in the Colorado Statesman, stating that a “Republican Party spokesman said on Friday […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last year, then U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner had a nice-sounding proposal: offer birth control over the counter, easy and quick. But… more expensive, journalists pointed out, because under Obamacare, birth control prescribed by doctors is free. Insurance companies are required to cover it. Not to worry, replied Gardner. He promised […]
