To say that the Colorado political landscape looked very different one year ago today would be an understatement like few in our years of history covering Colorado politics. On September 10, 2023, the fate of Colorado’s perpetual motion machine of political mayhem Rep. Lauren Boebert was very much in doubt. Five days before, Boebert sent […]
Last week, freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans, running for Congress in Colorado’s ultra-swing CO-08 against incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo, announced that the Libertarian candidate in the race Eric Joss was pulling out and endorsing Evans–a potentially significant development after Joss received a greater number of votes in the 2022 election than Caraveo’s margin of victory […]

The election year-addled controversy over the supposed “takeover” of, depending on who you ask, nothing whatsoever, a couple of aging apartment buildings in Aurora, or the entire city of nearly 400,000 souls with the whole state of Colorado not far behind by a gang of Venezuelan migrants who allegedly arrived along with the 75,000 some-odd […]

In 2018, Lauren Boebert recorded a video while driving to go protest against students who were protesting school shootings. Boebert called America’s 15,000 “gun related deaths” per year, “a drop in the bucket.” pic.twitter.com/7y0BzsKfcK — PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 (@patriottakes) September 4, 2024 With another school mass shooting in the headlines this week, a clip of “resurfaced” […]
As 9NEWS’ Marissa Solomon reports, the defamation case against sometimes-local election conspiracy theorist Joe “America’s Hangman” Oltmann brought by Eric Coomer formerly with Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems is grinding closer to the day when it finally appears Oltmann will have to admit, after years of blowharding to the contrary, that he fabricated the story of […]
It started with a rally in late July by Venezuelan metro area residents protesting against the fraudulent re-election of that country’s Nicholas Maduro, an event that was impulsively and wrongly condemned by Republicans on the Aurora City Council who should have been on the same side of opposing a socialist dictator but instead gave in […]

As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports: Four people were killed and nine others were taken to various hospitals after a shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, the GBI said Wednesday afternoon. One person was in custody, the state agency confirmed… …According to the White House, President Joe Biden was briefed on the shooting and […]
The wicked witch is dead. Both of them. As the Colorado Secretary of State’s office announced via press release this morning: Proponents of Proposed Initiative #50, “Voter Approval to Retain Additional Property Tax Revenue,” and Proposed Initiative #108, “Valuation for Assessments,” have withdrawn those measures from the 2024 General Election ballot. As a result, those […]
Yesterday, quasi-incumbent carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert faced off against her Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese in a debate hosted by the Douglas County Economic Development Corporation and the conservative-leaning Colorado Springs Gazette. As we discussed last week, this debate was not broadcast on television and was not open to the public, severely limiting its value to […]
9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reported on Friday evening on an unusual and potentially troubling resolution to a photo radar ticket issued against a sitting state legislator, Democratic Rep. Steven Woodrow, who appears to have beaten his ticket by asserting a state constitutional immunity privilege meant to protect state lawmakers from being detained by corrupt cops on […]
Jesse Paul and Brian Eason of the Colorado Sun report today on the aftermath of last week’s special session of the Colorado General Assembly, called by Gov. Jared Polis to pass legislation on property taxes intended to mollify backers of a pair of highly irresponsible ballot measures that would have, if passed, posed a serious […]
It’s no secret that the issue of abortion rights has been a primary driver for voters since the June 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade that removed federal protections for reproductive health care for women. In every state that has held a vote on abortion rights since the 2022 SCOTUS decision — red […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports, the faction of the Colorado Republican Party’s Central Committee loyal to embattled chairman Dave “Brandon Who?” Williams met as planned under a bridge in Bayfield a month ago to vote on whether to retain Williams as chairman–and like the vote last week by dissident central committee members to […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark tracked down the maker of the racist signs that popped up on East Colfax yesterday morning, and it’s a well-known far-right “street artist” with a long list of similar campaigns in other cities, including a similar sign posted outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last week: A Republican activist […]
A release from Governor Jared Polis this afternoon celebrates the successful conclusion of a special session of the Colorado General Assembly, with the passage of property tax relief legislation that will–as long as all sides keep their word–result in the removal of two considerably more extreme property tax cut measures which have already qualified: “Today […]
Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance continues to campaign across the country for the GOP Presidential ticket while Donald Trump spends most of his time golfing. All of that practice might be making Trump a better golfer, but it is definitely not making Vance a better candidate. Vance hasn’t exactly taken America by storm. He’s […]
After winning the Republican primary to take over Ken Buck’s deep-red conservative congressional seat, Rep. Lauren Boebert has been on carpetbagging cruise control, spending more time helping her friends like Rep. Matt Gaetz keep their seats than campaigning for her own election. Boebert’s Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese, who bested a troubled perennial candidate for the […]
More has been reported on this story — and there’s a new update — since the story first leaked out on Monday. We’ll show you the Tweet first, so you can gauge your own reaction: As USA Today explained further: The Trump campaign bought $48,000 worth of advertising in Florida in the West Palm Beach […]
UPDATE: Identity theft! Hackers! Fraud! Colorado GOP so-called Ballot and Election Security Committee Chairman “Raging” Ron Hanks sends an update to the party faithful blasting the “squatters” who voted last weekend to oust chairman Dave Williams, and asking for Williams’ supporters to show up to the “real” meeting this coming Saturday in Castle Rock: Last […]
As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports, even though the floundering presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been suspended and the candidate has endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Kennedy intends to remain on the ballot in states where is presence is not perceived as a spoiler threat to Trump. That includes here in […]
UPDATE #2: Colorado Democrats would be falling down on the job if they did not take maximum advantage of the Colorado Republican Party’s leadership crisis: Another meeting of the Colorado GOP is scheduled for August 31, 2024, to continue the drama, where it’s possible Party leaders may be removed (again) – or maybe not – […]
