Switching Banks

Have an account with Bank of the West? Maybe it's time to move banks? That's how the free market works, you don't want the business of people who make it so you can drive your car and turn your lights on? Fine. We will put our money elsewhere. Did unaffiliated voters change the election outcomes or not?

Rally

Energy Citizens has an anti-97 "decline to sign" petition circulating. If you stand with them, you can sign it here.  Speaking of energy, the energy rally at the Capitol yesterday was massive and did a good job of highlighting the sector. The Greeley Tribune offered Ken Buck some serious praise for his latest bill.

Shorting Obamacare

Jared Polis hasn't just made money while in Congress, he's made A LOT of money. In fact, much of the money he made was by investing in a medical tourism company - which is a pretty strong indicator he thought his Obamacare vote was going to make the U.S.' medical system worse, not better. There's no

Slap

Polis' plans to skip the Club 20 debates. That's bad news. Club 20 is a Colorado institution, and being the first candidate in 30 years to skip sends a message to the people of the Western Slope - and that message is "you don't matter." Russian meddling in the elections? Not here in Colorado.  This

Scathing

The Gazette wrote a scathing editorial against Jared Polis this weekend for voting against military pay increases. That's a good way to quickly make everyone in Colorado Springs dislike you. Cynthia Coffman snagged the top spot at the Western Attorneys General.  Why is everyone talking about Jordan Cove?

Hick breaks with Dems

Despite the Democrats full-throated endorsement of Initiative 97 (further setbacks) - Governor Hickenlooper has expressed misgivings. No matter how they try to paint Mike Coffman this cycle (and they will) he's one of the best at working across the aisle in congress.  The Perlmutter/Lebsock saga continues.

Attack dog? LOL

You know how people say that you can tell a lot about a person based on who their friends are? Well, I think it's important to point out who Jared Polis hangs with. If that makes me an "attack dog" . . . I mean - ok? LOL. Polis is having a tough time balancing on the

Rush Limbaugh and unicorn farts

So, the letter to the editor story got bigger yesterday. It was featured on the Daily Wire, Rush Limbaugh, the Drudge Report and even Fox News. The weird story of how the farts of a mythical creature that does not exist became the symbol of a car company has Colorado ties. Oh great, now there's a

Execution?

Should be the Denver Post be publishing letters to the editor that make even the suggestion President Trump be executed? I think not. There's a growing trend to employ more and more inflammatory language as we discuss politics - I think it's deeply concerning. Democrats made it VERY CLEAR there is only one way to be a

Low low

The one-two punch of tax cuts and TABOR seem to be working. Good news was released Friday on the jobs and economy front in Colorado. Unemployment is LOW LOW. Hopefully, voters make the kind of choices in November to continue that trend. Is Colorado's peach crop in trouble? A fungus infecting peach trees on the Western Slope
