(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Liberty Common School, run by former GOP Congressman Bob Schaffer, says it doesn’t want to teach its students sex ed at all, but sex-related topics are regularly discussed by students in science, literature, and other classes. So, to allow these sex discussions to continue (among students studying Greek mythology, for example) […]
We woke up this morning to a huge Colorado politics story from CNN, taking a deep dive into the local and national politics of gun safety–and how the changing political landscape in Colorado is pulling the rug out from under Sen. Cory Gardner’s feet on the issue while the ardently pro-gun local Republican base demands […]
Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Cortez) was a guest on “Politics Unplugged” on Denver7 last weekend. Late in the interview, Denver7 host Anne Trujillo tried to ask Tipton several questions about how Congress plans to address the issue of gun violence and got absolutely nowhere with the CO-3 Republican. You can watch the entire interview below, but […]
Remaining today’s big national politics story and as we noted in today’s Get More Smarter, President Donald Trump is diverting billions in defense construction dollars to fund his pet project wall along the southern U.S. border–and breaking a promise that Sen. Cory Gardner had made to Colorado voters last March, the diversion of funds includes […]
UPDATE: A statement from the Denver Republican Party chairwoman Kristina Cook acknowledges the clap back from Bernice King but blames the controversy on rascal Democrats on social media– while admitting both the photo and the comment are accurate if not originally meant to be, you know, viewed together: On Tuesday, as happens too often in […]
(Seriously? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Denver’s Catholic Archdioceses, Colorado Christian University’s Centennial Institute, and Catholic Charities are sponsoring a Sept. 10 event called “Made this Way: Male and Female,” featuring anti-transgender activist Emily Zinos who “helps parents and educators identify and address the threats of transgender ideology,” according to promotional materials. “Join us for […]
Last weekend, the Washington Post published a long story looking back at what advisors to President Trump have called a “lost summer defined by self-inflicted controversies and squandered opportunities.” As you can imagine, this story was not well-received by President Trump: The two months between Independence Day and Labor Day offered a fresh and vivid portrait of […]

UPDATE: Here’s the official statement from Johnston’s campaign: “The most rewarding parts of my life have come when I was part of a team: a team of teachers building a school; a team of legislators passing laws to fight the climate crisis or stop gun violence; a team of citizens helping elect a president. “Over […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A conservative radio host asked a question I’ve been wanting to hear on the conservative air waves for years: Why do so many Republicans dislike U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) so much? “So many of you have texted over the last year. So many of you have called in. So many […]
As the Denver Post’s Nic Garcia reports this burger-grilling Labor Day: Gov. Jared Polis has rattled some farmers and ranchers with his suggestion that Colorado help its agriculture industry get a foothold in the burgeoning plant-based meat alternative market. Beef is big business in Colorado. It’s the state’s largest export, totaling nearly $4 billion. So […]
UPDATE #2: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark masticates and spits the pitiful spin: Bottom line: elected officials shouldn't get credit for public events simply for appearing in public without notice. Citizens shouldn't have to be detectives to meet with their representatives. Journalists shouldn't repeat such laughable nonsense if politicians claim otherwise. — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) August 30, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The mysterious implosion of the county GOP party in Colorado Springs may hamper Republican efforts to fortify itself against a blue wave that appears to be heading our way again next year. With so many of the state’s Republicans congregated in El Paso (157,208 registered Republican voters), and the rapidly growing […]
As the Colorado Independent reports: The Secretary of State on Thursday certified that petitioners opposed to Colorado’s participation in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact have collected enough signatures to place the matter on the November 2020 ballot. This is a direct challenge to a bill passed earlier this year and signed into law by […]
The Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports on a delightful and long-overdue showdown between Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado Oil and Gas Association yesterday, which culminated in Gov. Polis giving attendees at COGA’s annual meeting a remedial run-through of the state of global energy markets and oil prices in particular that left industry flacks, hacks, […]
American farmers are mad. “I couldn’t vote for him. I have to protect my business,” Ohio soybean farmer Christopher Gribbs told CNBC earlier this month. Gribbs voted for Trump in 2016 and was once part of the President’s midwestern base, but no longer. “The geopolitical problems that we have with the Trump tariffs have weighed […]
(That’s pretty fast even for “Con Man Cory!” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) According to the two people he spoke with, in the space of 60 seconds last Friday, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) flipped from expressing sympathy for state Senate President Leroy Garcia and misgivings about the recall process to telling a recall booster, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) University of Colorado Regent John Carson, a Republican representing a Democratic-leaning district, has decided not to run for re-election next year, widening the highway for Democrats to color Colorado a deeper hue of blue. Republicans currently hold a tenuous one-seat majority on CU’s Board of Regents, which fell under intense scrutiny […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s GOP House leader says fellow Republicans are fighting Colorado’s new oil-and-gas safety law by trying to get elected to county commissions, which now have more authority over oil-and-gas operations. Discussing the new oil-and-gas law last week on KLZ 560-AM, state Rep. Patrick Neville said the “next election cycle in 2020 […]

After last week’s damaging story from The Guardian documenting what sure looks like a huge violation of Interior Secretary David Bernhardt’s promise to steer clear of conflicts of interest between his current position and his friends and former clients in the oil and gas industry–revelations that came courtesy of emails from Garfield County Commissioner Mike […]
UPDATE: More from the Huffington Post: —– “The true measure of a man is whether or not people prefer him in cardboard form.” — (Not) Socrates Cardboard Cory might not just be the most popular cardboard cutout in modern history — it might be the most popular version of Cory Gardner in existence […]
