Trump and circumstance
Hold onto your covfefe. President Trump is coming to Colorado. The Commander in Cheese, er Chief, will be delivering the commencement speech at the Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony in Colorado Springs on May 30.
It will be Trump’s first time speaking at the academy’s graduation, which will be held outdoors at the Air Force’s Falcon Stadium. Typically, graduation speakers at the Academy rotate among the president, vice president, secretary of defense and secretary of the Air Force. Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis addressed the academy’s class of 2018, and then-President Obama delivered the commencement speech in 2016.
Where Trump will wander during his speech into the wild blue yonder is anyone’s guess, but attendees can expect an awesome comb-over, er, fly-over from the Thunderbirds flight squadron.
For those wanting to witness the MAGAsty live, 600 tickets will be available, first-come, first-served, to the public at the Colorado Springs Chamber office, 102 S. Tejon St., today, from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

On most days, Tracy Harwood spends her time as a court clerk for the City of Durango. But next Thurs., June 4 – International Corgi Day – she hopes to bring something entirely different to town: short legs, wiggly butts and oversized personalities.

It’s a mash-up made in Westernwear heaven. Sort of. Seems Chaco, the purveyor of the iconic strappy dirtbag river rat footwear, has joined forces with Wrangler, as in tight jeans, big belt buckles, bull riding and snap shirt fame.

Turns out, blondes do have more fun, or at least they get more awards. Last week, Ska Brewing won the gold medal for its True Blonde Ale in the English-Style Pale Ale category at the 2026 World Beer Cup. This is the third win for the Blonde at the World Beer Cup, held in Philadelphia on April 22 and pegged as one of the world’s most prestigious beer competitions.
