Ex-President Donald Trump promised repeatedly on the campaign trail in 2020 that he would only accept the results of an election he won. That was just one of many clear signals sent by Trump and his movement in 2020 that the only acceptable outcome of the election would be a Trump victory, which as readers […]
The Republican gaggle of (as of now) B-List candidates running for the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet are gearing up for a number of public forums over the next few weeks. Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reported last week: The Republican primary race for Colorado’s U.S. Senate […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul: The new 7th District is forecast to favor Democrats by 7 percentage points, and thus lean heavily in the party’s favor. That’s based on an analysis of the results of eight statewide races between 2016 and 2020… Two Republicans were already seeking to unseat Perlmutter this year: Erik Aadland, […]
Despite clear proof that getting a COVID vaccination is the best way to stay out of the hospital and the morgue if you get the disease, Colorado Republican leader Randy Corporon continues to rail against COVID vaccinations, saying evidence increasingly shows that “so-called vaccines” don’t protect you from anything and that unproven drugs, like Ivermectin, […]
On December 30, 2020, we wrote about Republican Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert’s meteoric rise from unknown slinger of undercooked pork products in Garfield County to election to Congress on a high-energy low-information pro-Donald Trump platform spiced with a dash of the then-prevalent “QAnon” conspiracy theory: Sneaking past Tipton’s somnolent re-election campaign to a ten-point primary victory, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A year after the nation survived its first-ever insurrection, federal law enforcement has so far arrested twelve Coloradans for their participation. While prosecutors are focusing on bringing charges against the most serious offenders, such as those suspects who assaulted police, vandalized federal property, and entered the House itself, it’s worth keeping […]
I’ve been following Marina Zimmerman for quite some time. I have noticed that most publications have ignored her candidacy. That is somewhat understandable, since she is a new face on the scene and has not previously run for any office. I even saw the Big Line on this Blog-Space begging for Don Coram to jump […]
In the aftermath of the devastating wildfires that struck southeastern Boulder County on December 30th, destroying nearly 1,000 homes and instantly becoming the most financially destructive wildfire in Colorado history, there’s been a huge wave of generous donations by fellow Coloradans and donors across the nation to the Boulder County Wildfire Fund set up by […]
Last April, as the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reported, Colorado was awarded as a result of population growth in the past decade an eighth seat in Congress–Western census winners along with Oregon, Montana, and Texas, while California, Illinois, and New York each gave up seats: Colorado’s population jumped to 5,773,714, last year from 5,029,196 in […]
Colorado Newsline reporter Chase Woodruff relays the new message from U.S. Senate Democrats, who are said to be “shelving” consideration of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better budget reconciliation bill in order to switch focus to quickly passing voting rights legislation: Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado on Wednesday announced his support for “changes” to the […]

THURSDAY UPDATE: As predicted below, Boebert is is playing the victim in response: —– UPDATE: The publisher of the Montrose Daily Press and the Delta County Independent also recently called for Boebert’s ouster in 2022. —– The Durango Herald today published one of the more scathing editorials about a local politician that we’ve ever seen in our […]
Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl got off to a rough start when she launched her campaign for governor in September, repeatedly stumbling over the very simple question of whether or not the 2020 Presidential election was legitimate. Ganahl has since tried different variations of an answer to questions about the “Big Lie,” recently seeming to settle […]
As Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports, former University of Colorado Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy John Eastman, who while serving in that role also served as the chief architect of the last-ditch plans by Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 elections on January 6th, has invoked his constitutional protection against self-incrimination […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a June interview with insurrectionist and former University of Colorado professor John Eastman, former Colorado state legislator Matt Knoedler claimed that the election fraud conspiracy lawsuits Eastman was filing on behalf of President Trump were the same “kinds of legal battles” that Republicans in Colorado have been challenging for decades. […]

We’ve been doing our best to keep an eye on the latest efforts by right-wing grifters to “recall” Gov. Jared Polis and/or Secretary of State Jena Griswold. When last we checked — on August 31 — “lead organizer” Lori Cutunilli was promising the Facebook faithful that recall petitions were just a few weeks away from […]

As Colorado Newsline reports, Colorado’s “Insurrectionist Man of Mystery” Rep. Ron Hanks has teamed up with one of the (literally) most interesting names in Colorado politics, Douglas County Clerk Merlin Klotz, to file suit demanding that Dominion Voting Systems machines across the state be summarily executed–preferably by packing them with large quantities of explosives and […]
Taking note of a bigger-than-average development in the field of candidates setting up to run for Colorado’s newly-finalized state House and Senate seats, the announcement yesterday that Democratic Rep. Tom Sullivan of Centennial will run in the newly redrawn but still-swingy south Denver suburban Senate District 27: The new redistricting maps, approved Monday by the […]
Following last night’s passage in the U.S. House of Representatives of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better legislation making historic investments in education, health care, affordable housing, renewable energy, and another year of funding for Sen. Michael Bennet’s landmark Child Tax Credit, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest multi-issue progressive advocacy organization, thanked Colorado’s progressive majority […]
Although Republicans emerged from the 2021 off-year elections feeling energized in some other parts of the country, the mood in Colorado is decidedly lower-key with polls showing that Gov. Jared Polis and majority Democrats have survived the worst of the last year’s political uncertainty–and a now-concluded redistricting process that failed to give Republicans the “aggressive” […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Springs Gazette’s Ernest Luning reports that former Lauren Boebert campaign manager Sherronna Bishop’s Garfield County home was among those raided by authorities yesterday, according to “MyPillow Guy” Mike Lindell: Lindell said one of the homes raided by law enforcement authorities belongs to Sherronna Bishop, a Garfield County resident and former campaign manager […]
This morning, Republican state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer of Weld County announced her bid for Congress in brand-spanking-new CD-8, set to be one of the most closely divided and watched new congressional contests in the 2022 midterm elections nationwide. Kirkmeyer opens a GOP primary matchup against former state Rep. Lori Saine, with state Sen. Kevin Priola […]
