PREPARE TO BE INUNDATED : The Impeachment Media Circus is Coming to Colorado !
For those of you who have forgotten the media circus that followed Colorado ’ s U.S .
Senators around during the impeachment trial of President Clinton back in 1999 , or weren ’ t even born yet , here ’ s a refresher .
Republican U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard had no problem whatsoever talking on and on and on to the media , dissecting his every thought on each day ’ s events that occurred in the Senate chamber .
He was pure , media dreamboat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was printed by the now defunct Rocky Mountain News .
For those of you too young to remember that , the Rocky is what was known as a real newspaper .
Conversely , Republican U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell refused to grant interviews on the subject or disclose which way he was leaning .
On a daily basis , the media reported what Allard thought , and that Campbell had refused yet another interview .
This was all back in olden times , before newspapers were widely available online .
We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online ” had been coined .
So we can ’ t prove that Campbell actually told reporters at one point to go to Hell , and stop asking him every damn day , but we remember something like that being reported at the time .
Now it ’ s Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and Democrat presidential candidate/sometimes U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet who will be hounded daily by the media for comment on daily proceedings .
Ironically , Gardner worked for Allard , but he already appears to be playing by the Campbell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that is wise .
Meanwhile , we expect to see Bennet jumping in front of every TV camera that swings his way to trash Trump like the biased juror he is , in the hopes it will help him place above 7th place in the New Hampshire primary next month .

PREPARE TO BE INUNDATED: The Impeachment Media Circus is Coming to Colorado!
For those of you who have forgotten the media circus that followed Colorado’s U.S. Senators around during the impeachment trial of President Clinton back in 1999, or weren’t even born yet, here’s a refresher.
Republican U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard had no problem whatsoever talking on and on and on to the media, dissecting his every thought on each day’s events that occurred in the Senate chamber. He was pure, media dreamboat.
Allard even kept a daily diary that was printed by the now defunct Rocky Mountain News. For those of you too young to remember that, the Rocky is what was known as a real newspaper.
Conversely, Republican U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell refused to grant interviews on the subject or disclose which way he was leaning.
On a daily basis, the media reported what Allard thought, and that Campbell had refused yet another interview.
This was all back in olden times, before newspapers were widely available online. We’re not even sure the phrase “online” had been coined.
So we can’t prove that Campbell actually told reporters at one point to go to Hell, and stop asking him every damn day, but we remember something like that being reported at the time.
Now it’s Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and Democrat presidential candidate/sometimes U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet who will be hounded daily by the media for comment on daily proceedings.
Ironically, Gardner worked for Allard, but he already appears to be playing by the Campbell rule book of keeping his own counsel, and that is wise.
Meanwhile, we expect to see Bennet jumping in front of every TV camera that swings his way to trash Trump like the biased juror he is, in the hopes it will help him place above 7th place in the New Hampshire primary next month.

CUTTING CALDARA : Denver Post Not So Transparent in Killing of Column A lot has been written about conservative columnist Jon Caldara ’ s unceremonious firing from the Denver Post , just none of it from the Post itself .
Which is curious , considering how much the Post treasures and demands transparency from everyone else , but covers their own mirrors for fear of discovering they are actually vampires .
The reason for Caldara ’ s dismissal , along with his latest column , was his refusal to bow to political correctness and politicization of the English language , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they didn ’ t want him to mention basic science .
The Post has deemed Caldara too mean to engage with their weak-kneed audience ; cast out as a columnist for posing a threat to their reality-challenged existence .
It was demanded that Caldara restrict his use of the English language to fit their ideology .
Then , big shock , Caldara refused to play footsie with pronouns and science , or acquiesce to mandated speech .
Although the Post refuses to comment on the matter , Caldara has written an excellent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fired , which we liked even better than the opinion piece that done him in .
Here are some must-read excerpts .
You can read the whole piece here .
What seemed to be the last straw for my column was my insistence that there are only two sexes and my frustration that to be inclusive of the transgendered ( even that word isn ’ t allowed ) we must lose our right to free speech .
Caldara goes on to explain his support for the LGBT community , then adds : But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to force us to teach our kids that there are more than two sexes , to call what is plainly a man in a dress , well , not a man in a dress violates our right of speech .

WHO IS THIS? New U.S. Senate Candidate Needs a Little More Research
Would it kill a journalist to spend five minutes and at least Google a political candidate? Out of curiosity, if not actually as part of their job requirement?
We suspect some did, and decided against reporting Erik Underwood’s entry into the Democrat’s U.S. Senate primary.
But the Denver Post did, in a glowing article describing Underwood’s ambitious agenda, along with a brief bio of the candidate.
Very brief.
Underwood is a former Republican turned Democrat who’s lost races for Congress, the U.S. Senate and governor.
He failed to get past the convention process to take on U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in 2016 and was a convention miss again to challenge Gov. Polis in the 2018 Democratic primary. He ran for Congress when he lived in Georgia.
What stopped us in our tracks is this Westword profile on Underwood that ran in October of 2017, in which then-gubernatorial candidate Underwood claimed he moved to Colorado because he made a bundle in a tech deal with AT&T and they all decided to relocate his company here, called My24HourNews.com Inc.
“My24HourNews.com Inc. has two components: a digital news network and a digital content company. And it’s also a digital mobile platform/broadcast technology platform that we’ve developed with AT&T. We did a $102 million deal with AT&T in Atlanta, and many years ago, AT&T and My24 decided to move operations to Colorado. And that’s how I got out to Colorado. We moved the business to Denver …”
And yet, one of his most recent Facebook posts dates back to 2018, that says he has been in litigation with AT&T since 2015.
Underwood has accused the company of using his technology after backing out of the deal.
Then there’s his lawsuit against Bank of America, which Underwood announced in this 2018 statement describing himself as “an emerging political star in Colorado who ran for governor [2018] and is a media tech entrepreneur who lives in Boulder, Colorado.”
Underwood lost that lawsuit.
There is obviously a lot more to Underwood’s story than his desire to win the Senate seat and create a national lottery to pay for free college and student loan debt.
We’ll be waiting to see if the Colorado media bothers to tell that story.

Democrats then proceeded to pettifog their case for 13 hours over a two-day period, of which less than five hours occurred during the light of day.
Our national nightmare had begun.

The Post will publish columns about gender that differ from the paper’s official stance, so long as opinion writers agree there are more than two sexes and to wordsmith their work in accordance with the newspaper’s editorial stance.
Here’s an excerpt of Caldara’s column that brought down the Post axe, discussing the new educational mandate to teach the health needs of LGBT individuals in sex ed classes with politically correct language.
And in the anti-free-speech style that the left now embraces, the new law bans discussions that “employ gender stereotypes,” or any language the state’s new oversight board of LGBT activists consider “stigmatizing.” In case you hadn’t noticed, just about everything is stigmatizing to the easily triggered, perpetually offended.

LEFT OF LIBERAL: Democrats Challenging Tipton are Indistinguishable
The Durango Herald declares the three Democrats challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton distinguished themselves during a recent forum.
Yet they are all so equally far left, their politics are completely indistinguishable from another.
Former state House Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, Durango resident Root Routledge and Denver resident James Iacino all say climate change is bad and what to fix it by somehow making it illegal.
They’re all left of liberal running on the political coattails of Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Orozco-Cortez.
Obamacare made health care wildly inexpensive yet worthless, so these Democrats want to go a step further and make it completely useless with Medicare for all.
They are campaigning on being kinder to illegal immigrants — no policy proposals, they just think we need to be nicer, and don’t we all?
Mitsch Bush wants this, we’re not sure what it even means:
The federal government should invest fossil fuel subsidies should in environmental cleanups, grants and low-interest loans for renewable energy businesses.
Memo to Mitsch Bush, taxpayers have spent trillions of dollars on windmills and solar panels for more than half a century.
Instead of “more,” maybe it’s time to change the liberal campaign mantra to “Try something different, for God’s sake!”

GARDNER: Free Trade Agreement Means Billions for Colorado’s Exporters
In spite of the impeachment circus consuming Washington, D.C., a good thing happened today for Colorado’s vast workforce.
President Trump signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Implementation Act.
Colorado is the largest trading partner of Mexico and Canada, exporting $2.7 billion in goods in 2018, including $800 million worth of beef.
🚨🚨The #USMCA is now law. 🚨🚨 I’m proud to support this historic free trade agreement that will boost Colorado’s vibrant trade relationship with Mexico and Canada and support the nearly 250,000 Colorado jobs that depend on trade with our North American neighbors. — Cory Gardner (@SenCoryGardner) January 29, 2020
Nearly a quarter million jobs and billions of dollars of our economy in Colorado are dependent on trade with our North American neighbors, said U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner.

COPYCAT: Hickenlooper’s Talking Points Mirror Gardner’s Accomplishments
Is it laziness or just his desperation to be relevant that’s led John Hickenlooper to basically steal U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s list of long-held goals and accomplishments and claim them as his own campaign talking points?
To say Hickenlooper’s campaign rhetoric is strikingly similar to Gardner’s own record would be an understatement, agrees Joanna Rodriguez, spokeswoman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
“Hickenlooper’s copycat conservation agenda is nothing more than empty talking points based on the victories Cory Gardner has already delivered and continues to deliver for Colorado every day in the United States Senate,” Rodriquez said in a statement.
Hickenlooper says his top priority will be to oppose selling off federal land.
Gardner already did more than just make it a priority, he blocked attempts to target the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument and secured a commitment from the administration to preserve the site.
Hickenlooper promises to fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund, never mind that Gardner secured funding for the program at its highest level in 15 years.
Hickenlooper wants to end the trade war, Gardner has actually been working to end it.
Hickenlooper’s sad run on Sen. Gardner’s record of accomplishments is just more proof it’s time to put that washed-up politician out to pasture.

Wildlife officials declared on Wednesday Colorado has succeeded in becoming the only state to finally eradicate destructive and dangerous wild pigs.
The invasive species causes billions of dollars in damages annually to crops and pastures nationwide and is blamed for spreading diseases to humans and livestock.
According to Bill Vogrin, Colorado Parks & Wildlife spokesman, good riddance:
“They out-compete native species for food. They’ll kill them. They’re also dangerous (to humans). I mean, have you ever encountered one? And they’re prolific. They can breed every six months.”
Animal activists announced minutes later their intention to pursue a ballot measure to reintroduce the feral swine to Colorado because they expect to prove through insinuation the pigs are vital for gray wolf habitat … yes, we made up that last part.
