(Promoted by Colorado Pols) For those of you who may not listen to conservative talk radio, here’s a glimpse into the bubbled world of KVOR in Colorado Springs. “The Second Amendment is not actually about my right to hunt,” said state Sen. Paul Lundeen on a Colorado Springs radio station recently. “It supports that, of […]
Patriot League President Aaron Robertson will address the Adams County Republican Executive Committee at their monthly meeting at O’Meara Ford in Northglenn. Robertson recently interviewed Adams GOP Chair (and former state representative) Joanne Windholz for his “Pillar Citizen Spotlight.” He described her as a leading member of the “Pillar Citizen Community,” the group’s project to […]
The Hill, just wow: President Trump on Thursday publicly encouraged both China and Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son amid growing concerns over how Trump has used his position to pressure foreign governments to look into his political rivals. “I would think that if they were honest about it they’d […]

Cory Gardner is a United States Senator. This is a full-time job that fundamentally requires Gardner to take a position on important issues of the day. We assume that Gardner has opinions on things, but it is hard to know for sure because the Yuma Republican goes to such great efforts to avoid discussing…well, anything. […]
(Doug Bruce is really a cheapskate – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Just to clear up any confusion, the State of Colorado does not endorse the “Vote No on CC” campaign. In fact Governor Polis, who endorses the “CC Yes! For Colorado” campaign, spoke at its kick-off event this morning. The reason you might be confused […]
If you were still one of the holdouts who didn’t believe that President Trump is completely out of his goddamn mind, new reports about Trump’s ideas for tightening border security should be enough to convince you otherwise. As the New York Times reports: The Oval Office meeting this past March began, as so many had, […]
Marianne Goodland of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman reports today on a long list of ethical red flags related to William Perry Pendley, the acting director for the Bureau of Land Management whose job was just extended by a few more months despite objections from the likes of Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver). […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii interview Eli Stokols, White House reporter for the Los Angeles Times, for more perspective on President Trump’s impeachment troubles. Last week, Stokols broke the story of President Trump suggesting that the whistleblower in the UkraineGate case was “almost a spy” and […]
(In Colorado, “anti-vaxxer” is spelled G-O-P – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last Wednesday morning, Rep. Lori Saine (R-Firestone) and Sen. Vicki Marble (R-Greeley) hosted the second public “Vaccine and Health Choice Summit” at the Colorado State Capitol. The summit featured two head speakers: Cynthia Nevison, Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science, and Dr. John Kucera, M.D. […]
CNN, here we go again: “I can confirm that US and (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) officials plan to meet within the next week. I do not have further details to share on the meeting,” US State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement Tuesday. The US special representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, […]

TUESDAY UPDATE: Via FOX 31’s Joe St. George, here’s your answer: We broke the news about @SenCoryGardner co-headlining a Trump fundraiser in New York back in August….Gardner is still going this weekend, despite everything happening in Washington. https://t.co/WSuX1PEwKu — Joe St. George (@JoeStGeorge) September 30, 2019 Duly noted for posterity. Filed under “fateful decisions.” —– […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Only two U.S. senators from blue states have “A” ratings from the National Rifle Association, and Cory Gardner is one of them. He also has a 100% rating from Gun Owners of America and a 0% rating from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. His voting record is unequivocally pro-gun […]

UPDATE: Well, that escalated quickly: ….If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal.” Pastor Robert Jeffress, @FoxNews — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2019 You’ll want to ask […]
Surveying the responses from Colorado politicos to the rapidly-deepening impeachment crisis threatening to end Donald Trump’s presidency, we were struck in particular by Rep. Ken Buck of Greeley’s defense of Trump in an interview with the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter. Buck as readers know was formerly the district attorney of Weld County, and never misses […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: Amateur hour continues, writes Marianne Goodland of the Colorado Springs Gazette: After Colorado Politics reported that a Polis recall committee had disclosed distributing $11,000 in contributed funds as gifts to people involved in the group, the committee has amended state filings to say that the payments were for “consultant and professional services” instead […]
With President Trump dominating the news cycle this week in extraordinary fashion, there have been a couple of important Colorado political stories that have flown under the ol’ radar. One story we wanted to be sure to rewind involves Colorado Republican Party Chairman Ken Buck, whose leadership seat is getting warmer despite the fact that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) For anyone paying attention to the Swamp Administration now ensconced in the U.S. Department of Interior, that the Western Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association–the industry trade group in western Colorado–would be shacking up with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, one of its primary regulators, is probably not too surprising. […]
As Roll Call reports, the Senate today voted once again to reject President Trump’s “emergency declaration” for border wall money, though it is a largely symbolic move since there aren’t enough votes in the Senate to override a promised Presidential veto: Eleven Republicans joined 43 Democrats in support of ending the emergency declaration, which allowed […]
UPDATE #4: Senate Republicans are apparently baffled that the White House would release a “transcript” that undermines their own claims of innocence. —– UPDATE #3: Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) reacts in a very Lambornesque manner: We must investigate the potentially criminal activity of Vice President @JoeBiden & his son Hunter. Last year, Biden bragged about […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Over the weekend, Colorado Senator Cory Gardner again took credit for a health-insurance cost-saving program that, if Gardner had his way, would not exist. The program, funded via state innovation waivers in Obamacare, allows states to essentially provide insurance for insurance companies, covering extremely costly claims and allowing the companies to […]
