Donald Trump Jr. made plenty of news during his visit to Colorado this week — a lot of it embarrassing or worse. Junior was denied a campaign stop at the Sink in Boulder around the same time that remarks surfaced about a joke he’d made about the Aurora theater shooting. On…
Earlier this year, Colorado Democrat Michael Bennet seemed to be one of the most vulnerable of all U.S. Senators up for reelection. But if he’s feeling the heat from Republican senatorial nominee Darryl Glenn, who most polls show Bennet leading comfortably, he certainly isn’t showing any sweat. During a campaign…

In recent weeks, two men, Spencer Siroky and David Tatum, were sentenced for a violent marijuana heist in Westminster circa July 2015 and a third, Fredy Castillo, is still wanted for the crime after jumping bail. But even if Castillo was in custody, the story wouldn’t be over for a victim of…
