Colorado Public Radio reported Friday and we wanted to be sure it got a mention: Gov. Jared Polis is asking the Denver District Court to dismiss a Republican lawsuit over the passage of a so-called “red flag” gun law last legislative session. The Colorado Attorney General’s office filed a motion Thursday. Polis signed the measure […]
“I only aim at the powerful. When satire is aimed at the powerless, it is not only cruel–it’s vulgar.” –Molly Ivins
CNN reports while a strange kind of history is made at the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea: President Donald Trump shook hands with Kim Jong Un on Sunday and took 20 steps into North Korea, making history as the first sitting US leader to set foot in the hermit kingdom. Trump crossed the […]
CNN reports from the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, where President Donald Trump just met with Russian President Vladimir Putin both privately and in public–and finally, to Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado’s profound relief, strongly warned the Russian president to not meddle again in American elections–the way every investigation including the recently-concluded Robert Mueller inquiry […]
Colorado’ junior senator has a problem in his run for re-election: Donald J Trump. And on every issue which Trump is wrong, Sen. Gardner’s fingerprints can be found on the mess left in the stable genius’ wake. The Advice and Consent function is one of the U.S. Senate’s primary oversight tools, an authority granted under […]
(Orwellian stuff – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Ken Buck said Wednesday that when it comes to immigration, the Trump Administration has done an “outstanding job of trying to clean up the mess of past administrations.” “The mistreatment of children really tugs at the heartstrings,” Buck told KFTM radio’s John Waters Wednesday (Listen below). […]
For several months now, we’ve been closely following the competing efforts working toward the possible but highly unlikely recall of Gov. Jared Polis–a campaign that would be unprecedented in size and expense, and so far hasn’t attracted even a fraction of either the financial or popular support that would be necessary for a successful outcome. […]

As the New York Times reports, production of new programming at the controversial NRATV outlet operated by the National Rifle Association is ending and the channel will go dark, following a decision by the organization’s leadership after a spate of infighting between the storied gun-rights organization and its unruly media arm: “Many members expressed concern […]
As the Washington Free Beacon reports, GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs is back on his high horse for another attempt to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting–and this time Lamborn is going straight for the wedge-issue jugular instead of pussy-footing around with dry lectures about fiscal responsibility: Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn (Colo.) has introduced […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) says a lot of words when he is asked a direct question about a specific topic. As we’ve noted in this space on numerous occasions, it is rare that those words form together into any sort of actual answer that might make an inkling of sense to an English-speaking human […]

Republican Casper Stockham has run two consecutive unsuccessful campaigns for Congress in Denver against incumbent Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, so he’s trying something different in 2020. Stockham is shifting his sights eastward to challenge Democrat Jason Crow in CO-6. We bring this up not only to prevent getting a bunch of Facebook messages from Stockham himself, […]

(Just what Colorado Republicans need! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former statehouse candidate Grady Nouis, announced last week that he’s running for office again in 2020. Nouis, whom the Denver Post described as having been “in the orbit of groups and events associated with far-right views,” lost his 2018 race to Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp (D-Arvada). […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s time to call TABOR, the so-called Tax Payer’s Bill of Rights, what it is: A conservative social experiment. The TABOR Experiment asked whether a majority of people would approve of the taxes necessary for essential government services like schools, roads, health services, and other basic government functions. After 27 years, […]
For the past 3 years a battle has been fought in North Denver by neighbors and activists hoping to save the last significant parcel of open space remaining in the heart of Denver – 90-year-old Park Hill Golf Course. Earlier this year the Denver Post ran a series of articles on the issue of increasing […]
“When men are full of envy they disparage everything, whether it be good or bad.” –Tacitus
UPDATE: As the Washington Post reports, White House aides are unsure about the timeline presented by President Trump regarding a potential military strike against Iran. It doesn’t help that Trump is now openly contradicting himself: The precariousness of the moment was compounded by widespread uncertainty about the president’s decision-making process, which he detailed Friday in tweets […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Earlier this month, anti-choice advocates filed a Colorado ballot initiative that would ban abortion after 22 weeks. Colorado is one of a handful of states that don’t restrict abortion based on gestational age, and thus has become a target of increasingly inflammatory rhetoric around the one percent of abortions that occur later in […]

UPDATE: Senate votes 53-45 in favor of disapproval resolution. Gardner votes NO.
