A Littleton man who posted online that he either was – or was with – the “first guy to storm” the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 failed to show that 9News anchor Kyle Clark defamed him in the course of his reporting, a Denver judge ruled on Monday. District Court Judge Ross B.H. Buchanan granted Clark’s…

The U.S. Senate couldn’t pass a budget Thursday night, but Rep. Doug Lamborn was tooting his own horn for the amount of military spending he got into the House version. And he got an attaboy from House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry of Texas, according to a press release from Lamborn’s office. “I commend…

Congressional candidate Darryl Glenn likes to tell a story about a woman he met at a farmer’s market earlier this summer. “She was an older black lady, independent,” he says. “I stopped by and introduced myself, and she was like, ‘You’re a – Republican?’” He scowled like he was sniffing a carton of milk…

There’s an American flag that’s probably 6 feet wide and 10 feet long hung on a wall in state Sen. Ray Scott’s office. “Well, I couldn’t find a bigger one,” he jokes. The flag is probably bigger than 6 by 10. It looks huge – and not because Scott’s office is one of the cramped…

As the 2016 election season draws to a close, we thought there would be no better way to reward readers who have paid close attention to the campaigns than offer a quiz about the seemingly endless ordeal.

Will Durst

Any politician angling to be president has to appear believable while wearing many hats. The electorate needs to imagine him/her in a pith helmet to lead us through the jungle. A hard hat to connect to blue collar voters. A top hat to conduct formal diplomatic negotiations. A deerstalker to sift through the intrigue. And…

To live in the universe of Breitbart News is to live in a universe of perpetual fear and agitation. “Suspected illegal immigrant allegedly carjacks elderly woman,” one headline on the hyper-conservative, verging-on-nationalist site read Thursday morning. “Fire Department ordered removal of U.S. flags from fire trucks,” blared another. “The ObamaCare Bomb: Plan 9 from Collectivist…

Donald Trump’s new campaign CEO is a flame-thrower in cargo shorts. Steve Bannon’s career path has been an improbable journey from Goldman Sachs insider to conservative filmmaker to media provocateur to campaign chieftain. The shaggy-haired Harvard MBA partial to shorts and Timberland boots is moving to the Trump campaign from the top of Breitbart News, a conservative website that…
