We have covered for many years in this space the machinations of a group that has, while pushing their single issue with single-minded ferocity, become both political legend and cautionary tale. The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, founded by “no compromise” Second Amendment purist Dudley Brown, have earned a reputation for strictly enforcing their blanket opposition […]
Democrat Jena Griswold has the name ID and the fundraising chops to be the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for Attorney General, which is why we’ve had her listed on the top spot on The Big Line for many months.

As readers know, Colorado’s cacophonic cornucopia of crazy Rep.

[…]
Congressman Jeff Crank (R-Colo. Springs) is determined to prove to President Trump that he can be a better toadie than fellow freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton).

With the party caucus season in full swing and the June Primary Election coming up fast, we’ve reached that point in a given election when long-shot challengers try desperately to convince voters that they have a great shot at winning…if you squint really, really, really hard.

In mid-January, the United States completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) after 78 years of membership and despite being a founding member of the group. The Trump administration cited concerns about the WHO’s “mishandling” of the COVID-19 pandemic and vague complaints about needed reforms and political influence from member countries. As Scott […]
As readers know, President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Space Command to move from its present headquarters in Colorado Springs to Huntsville Alabama, making good on a corrupt promise he made to that state’s loyal Republicans on his way out of office in 2021 and punishing Colorado for our political disloyalty–factors that governed Trump’s […]

Colorado’s camera-hogging purveyor of political spectacle Rep. Lauren Boebert is once again the center of viral attention this morning, but not for a stunt that will make her or her supporters giggle with mirth. Speaking last night with British Larry King wannabe Piers Morgan, Boebert was confronted with what most minimally educated Americans would not […]
As the Durango Herald reports, last night nominal Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd hosted his first public availability since being disowned by Donald Trump last weekend, and Trump threw his support to Hurd’s crackpot challenger Hope Scheppleman. And in Hurd’s now-trademark so understated you barely know he’s there style, Hurd studiously avoided the proverbial elephant in […]
Once again, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Windsor) is making Colorado proud. And by “proud,” we mean “embarrassed.” As The Associated Press reports: Testimony by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was briefly disrupted Thursday after U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado shared a photo of the closed-door proceeding that was posted online. Clinton was testifying in […]
As Michael Booth reports for the Colorado Sun, yet another decision by the Biden administration upholding environmental protection over corporate profits has been cast aside in favor of Donald Trump’s MAGA drill-for-all: After pecking away for years, the Trump administration Wednesday finally erased all remaining endangered species protections for the lesser prairie-chicken, whose “booming” and […]
Freshman Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Ft. Lupton) has proven over the last 14 months to be one of the most outrageous peddlers of nonsense that Colorado has seen since the days of Sen. Cory Gardner. Evans lies, and lies, and lies to such an amazing degree that it’s fair to wonder whether he can possibly believe […]
9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reported Tuesday evening on a bill that might seem like a small change at first glance, but could become crucial in the increasingly likely event that President Donald Trump attempts to meddle with Colorado’s proven and trusted mail-ballot election system this fall: The change that Colorado is considering by sending ballots out […]

Denver recently […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: The mutual admiration lovefest continues: —– Although last night’s State of the Union address from President Donald Trump clocked in as the longest in history, nothing Trump said last night is likely to move the needle politically for himself or fellow Republicans, who are facing what could be a historic trouncing at the […]
