CNN reported yesterday on revelations in a forthcoming book by veteran Washington Post journos Bob Woodward and Robert Costa titled Peril, detailing the chaotic final days of Donald Trump’s administration as Trump desperately tried to remain in power after being defeated in the 2020 presidential elections. Surrounding Trump in those final days was a circle […]
As Colorado’s new independent redistricting commissions have ground through the work over the summer of drawing new maps for Colorado’s congressional and state legislative districts, Republican operatives working under a “dark money” front group known as the Colorado Neighborhood Coalition got caught red-handed trying to manipulate the process through undisclosed lobbying and pushing a flurry […]
When Heidi Ganahl (badly) announced her 2022 campaign for Governor last week, she became the first significant Republican name to officially launch a candidacy for one of Colorado’s four main statewide offices: Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and Secretary of State (SOS). Who’s next? We honestly have no idea…and neither do most Republicans. Former Mesa […]
As Denver7’s Blair Miller reported on Friday and we of course must acknowledge in this space, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland has made the decision to unwind the controversial and still-unrealized move of the headquarters of the Bureau of Land Management from Washington, D.C. to Grand Junction, Colorado: The headquarters of the U.S. Bureau […]
This week on Episode #86 of The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii marvel at the bizarre pre-announcement announcement for Heidi Ganahl’s gubernatorial campaign; Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters gets her own segment jingle; we applaud President Biden’s vaccination requirements; and we discuss the horrible COVID-19 conditions in Idaho […]

As readers know, Republican freshman outrage superspreader Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado has been on a speaking tour in recent weeks, making eyebrow-raising stops this month in such far-flung locations as Staten Island, New York–and just yesterday, as the Midland, Texas Reporter-Telegram reports, an appearance to benefit fellow freshman firebreather Rep. August Pfluger: Pfluger said […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Tom Hesse reports–embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who has been in hiding since mid-August as a criminal investigation began into the breach of election system security in her office that resulted in proprietary Dominion Voting Systems data being leaked to far-right conspiracy theorists, made a triumphant (at least for […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) No matter what side they’re on in their internal war over whether to dump open primaries, Republicans are telling the world — and each other — how weak they are in Colorado, how much swing voters hate them, how deep blue the state is turning, and how depressed they are about […]
The launch this week of Republican Heidi Ganahl’s campaign for governor, which she herself has described as an improbable “moonshot” of an undertaking, was hobbled from the outset by a string of unforced and entirely preventable errors. After running a thinly-veiled “podcast tour” to build name ID ahead of a formal launch, Ganahl’s campaign bumbled […]
As the Aurora Sentinel’s Quincy Snowdon reports, a comprehensive investigation by Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office into the “patterns and practices” of the city of Aurora’s police and fire departments has uncovered what local activists have long insisted–grossly disproportionate use of force against the city’s Black population. It’s an investigation that would not have taken […]

UPDATE: Day 2 is not looking much better than Day 1. Day 2 of @heidiganahl’s #COGov campaign and it’s off to a strong start. One day she might even have an event attended by a double-digit number of supporters. pic.twitter.com/Y9IVoYpGfu — American Bridge 21st Century (@American_Bridge) September 15, 2021 —– Republican Heidi Ganahl finally announced […]
With the California gubernatorial recall election having ended in a blowout well beyond any reasonable disputation, we took note of this report in the San Francisco Examiner yesterday about how the recent election system security breach in Mesa County, Colorado was impacting the use of Dominion Voting Systems elections hardware in the California special election. […]
As the redistricting process in Colorado lumbers along toward a theoretical conclusion early next month, we’ve been following in this space the story of some well-known Republican operatives who can’t seem to figure out how to lobby staff and members of Colorado’s two independent redistricting commissions without breaking the law. Former House Speaker Frank McNulty, […]
UPDATE: Here’s how the Recall Polis ringleader was pre-coping with yesterday’s loss Monday afternoon: We haven’t seen any word since. Perhaps we won’t. —– The Los Angeles Times’ political unit recaps last night’s failure to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, rejecting the recall question by a slightly greater margin than Newsom enjoyed in his 2018 […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”50%”]“I don’t want to be your friend anymore if you don’t do this.” — former President Trump, speaking to Vice President Mike Pence ahead of finalizing the Electoral Vote count[/mantra-pullquote] The complete history of the Donald Trump administration has yet to be written, which is good for people who sell […]
Fact-deprived conspiracy theorists and the armed activists who love them continue to insist without evidence that the 2020 elections were stolen from Donald Trump, the fervent belief in which pushing a small but troublingly well-armed and vociferous segment of the population toward what they tell us could be another civil war. The failed insurrection at […]
UPDATE: Via “The Unaffiliated” newsletter from The Colorado Sun: “I’ll try and win no matter what the path forward is,” she said. “Whatever my party decides is the path forward.” Ganahl has a difficult path ahead of her. “We’ve got a long road ahead,” she said Tuesday, acknowledging her challenges. Well, we’re certainly inspired. —– […]
Ready or not, Colorado, election season restarts today. Republican Heidi Ganahl is about to announce her candidacy for governor at this diner in Monument. pic.twitter.com/xfmCN0Fbvz — Alex Burness (@alex_burness) September 14, 2021 Republican CU Regent Heidi Ganahl launched the campaign she herself has described as a “moonshot” bid to unseat the popular incumbent Democratic Gov. […]
The Colorado Springs Gazette’s Debbie Kelly reports from controversial evangelical Christian minister Andrew Wommack’s “Truth & Liberty Conference,” held last weekend at Wommack’s superspreader church campus in Woodland Park, at which Rep. Lauren Boebert waxed spiritual about her unlikely ascension to Congress, and what she sees as a divinely ordained mission to effect supernatural change […]
(Scientia est potentia – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On Friday, Sept. 10, after months of speculation, University of Colorado (CU) Regent Heidi Ganahl filed paperwork to run for Colorado governor in 2022. She was expected to formally announce her campaign this coming Tuesday and has not yet issued an official statement or returned calls from local media. “Out […]
Responding to the announcement last Friday of a sweeping new mandate from the Biden administration requiring millions of American workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, Colorado Republican Party chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown fired back a volley of pointed if not exactly coherent words in opposition–including the one key word that gets thrown around so often […]
Salon reports, but most of what you need to know is in the annotated photo above: In a video reviewed by Salon and apparently recorded on July 25, the 8-year-old son of Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., can be seen singing, dancing and playing with cigarette lighters — while left alone in a room a few […]
