(Crypto-Q! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is still trying to stop people from thinking she’s a crazy conspiracist. She’s “not a follower of QAnon,” she insisted Friday, but “there’s absolutely a deep state.” Does that make you feel better about her? Probably not, but her assertion is useful because it shows how far […]

Congresswoman Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert (R-Fox News) has based her entire political persona around the image of her carrying a gun in a holster on her hip. You might recall that Boebert even filmed a viral ad about her gun-toting ways that was released in early January; she released the ad with a social media message […]
With GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn mostly laying low in an effort to avoid the donor backlash against pro-sedition lawmakers, Colorado’s two highest-profile Republicans left in office have become something of a yin and yang of one another: Rep. Ken Buck, saying his long goodbye from politics while emerging as an unlikely voice of reason regarding […]

We regret to inform readers that the rampaging scourge of “cancel culture” has struck home this weekend in Colorado politics.

UPDATE #2: The Montrose Press reports: Boebert, R-Colorado, had apparently been scheduled for an event here, word of which began circulating online Friday evening. But by Saturday, the event had been canceled and the host site, Circle 3 Cowboy Fellowship, reported receiving a phone threat before the cancelation. “The congresswoman was planning on stopping by […]

Yesterday evening, outgoing chairman of the thoroughly demoralized Colorado Republican Party and Rep. Ken Buck of Weld County made it official: he will not be a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2022. I am humbled by the interest and support I have received to pursue a potential Senate bid, however I will not be […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: The Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter: The congresswoman was apparently referencing a video posted earlier this week that shows now-U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, badgering Hogg about gun control on the streets of Washington, D.C., in 2019. Greene is a conspiracy theorist who reportedly believed the Parkland shooting and the 2017 […]
On Wednesday, President Joe Biden ordered a moratorium on new leases for oil and gas drilling on public lands. As Judith Kohler reports for The Denver Post, this decision led to a lot of angry shaking fists from O&G industry backers: The order makes tackling climate change a priority and will be in place for […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Right-wing Republicans in Colorado have seen the blue clouds coming for years, slowly engulfing them in a fog of powerlessness. Now fully engulfed, you’d think they’d see that something has to change. And they do, but it’s not anything substantive. It’s just their words and stories that must be altered. That’s […]
Politico reports on the latest in the ongoing controversy over the new Republican “Qaucus” in the U.S. House, led by freshman Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Rifle, Colorado–a resolution introduced yesterday seeking to expel Rep. MTG from the House after damning past statements and social media activity resurfaced in recent […]
Here’s a Qonundrum for you: Would you rather be represented in Congress by Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert or Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene? Your answer might depend on when the question is being asked. Boebert and Greene are the leaders of the Republican Qaucus in the House of Representatives, united in their […]
The Frontier reports from our neighbors to the south and east: The Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office has been tasked with attempting to return a $2 million stockpile of a malaria drug once touted by former President Donald Trump as a way to treat the coronavirus.

Failed GOP congressional candidate Nicholas Morse announced yesterday what we’ve been expecting for some weeks now, the announcement that former Republican Secretary of State Scott “Honey Badger” Gessler will seek the job of chairman of the Colorado Republican Party to replace Rep. Ken Buck after another disastrous defeat for the party in the 2020 elections: […]
Two Republican members of Congress from Colorado stand accused of helping incite violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th by joining the dead-ender objections to elector slates from Arizona and Pennsylvania.

UPDATE: Salon’s Roger Sollenberger follows up, and Rep. Lauren Boebert is in full-auto backpedal: Asked Monday morning about the gift, Boebert told Salon in a text message, “Who said I accepted it? You saw a presentation.” She would not say whether she refused, returned or did not accept the gift, replying: “I didn’t leave with […]
