As CNN reports, after all the consternation involved in getting minor presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on the ballot in Colorado, first controversially as the Libertarian Party’s nominee and then by his own devices, Kennedy’s campaign may be about to unceremoniously end with an endorsement of Donald Trump in exchange for a promised position […]
As NBC News reports, expelled former Republican Congressman George Santos’ long ride of fraud and theft that peaked with a partial term in the U.S. House came to an end yesterday, as Santos pled guilty to two felony counts in a deal with prosecutors that will include a mandatory minimum prison sentence: Santos, who was […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, state Sen. Mark Baisley (R-Roxborough Park) claimed in a Facebook post that recent images of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign rallies were “AI generated.” Baisley posited that these videos violate Colorado’s Candidate Election Deepfake Disclosures Act, and should be reported to Colorado Secretary of […]
The Democratic National Convention kicks off today in Chicago, with President Biden serving as the featured speaker on opening night — a remarkable turn of events from what would have been expected just two months ago. Instead of Biden closing out the DNC this week with a speech accepting the Democratic nomination for President, it […]
As we noted last week, convicted ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is in what can be best described as a state of wholesale denial after being found guilty one week ago today on 7 of 10 counts related to her plot to allow unauthorized conspirators access to Dominion Voting Systems equipment in a failed attempt […]
CBS News‘ James LaPorte reports on comments from ex-President Donald Trump last Thursday that have outraged veterans and sent Trump’s cable news surrogates scrambling for acceptable explanations–certainly not the first time that Trump has bizarrely disparaged Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the nation, but in clear terms that make […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…Ian went on a little summer break and…the entire world changed completely! We’ll talk more about the vibe shift, the VP’s VP, the Trump campaign, and so much more. Friend of the Pod, Governor Jared Polis, is calling the Colorado Legislature back into a special session, again, to […]
UPDATE: An eagle-eyed reader pointed out that the statue featured prominently in the “Second Amendment Caucus” logo is no longer in that spot in front of the State Capitol. That statue, which depicted a Civil War soldier who was part of the First Colorado Cavalry unit that took part in the infamous “Sand Creek Massacre,” […]
As the Durango Herald’s Reuben Schafir reports, the latest hate-filled email blast from the Colorado Republican Party ostensibly in support of a swing district Senate candidate is being condemned by the would-be beneficiary, Sen. Cleave Simpson, who says flat-out that the state party’s efforts on his behalf are hurting his campaign: State Sen. Cleave Simpson, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Colorado Republican Rep. Brandi Bradley recently announced her plans to lead a new Moms for Liberty chapter in Douglas County. Bradley was elected in 2022 to House District 39, which includes parts of Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, and other rural parts of the county […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s official, Colorado lawmakers are headed back to class along with the kids later this August, with the goal of saving the state’s schools and local governments from the threat of two ill-advised far-right ballot measures: Colorado Public Radio reports Gov. Jared Polis won’t be signing any compromise without confirmation that controversial Initiatives […]
As Hannah Metzger reports for Westword, former Centennial Institute director turned right-wing radio host Jeff Hunt has struck a blow for political expression inside the Colorado Capitol building, forcing a rule change to allow spectators in the House and Senate galleries to wear their viewpoint on their literal sleeves: Seventeen months after Jeff Hunt was […]
We’ve been discussing in this space what it means when Republican politicians try to couch their positions on abortion rights by saying that such decisions should be left “up to the states.” For Republicans such as Presidential nominee Donald Trump and Gabe-ish Evans [pictured], a candidate for Congress in CO-08, this is a way of […]
After ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ long-anticipated conviction late Monday on 7 of 10 criminal counts against her stemming from her failed attempt to supply evidence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump, Peters announced that evening she would be “taking the day off” to contemplate events, which is something we generally […]
It’s hard to believe that it hasn’t even been a month since President Joe Biden decided to drop his re-election campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris quickly took over as the new Democratic nominee for President. As we’ve noted in this space, the Harris candidacy has changed EVERYTHING about the 2024 election, attracting more than […]
Sometimes, to paraphrase the old saying, the content writes itself–like this announcement for a “garden party pot luck meet and greet” event for Rep. Lauren Boebert coming up early next month at the no-doubt lovely home of Evelyn Zur at Parker’s swank Pinery Country Club: It looks to us like this could be a photo […]
UPDATE 5:20: The counts and verdicts from 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger: —– UPDATE 5:15PM: Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters GUILTY on influencing public servant charges, not guilty on some impersonation charges. Guilty on 7 out of 10 total counts. Stand by for summary. —– UPDATE 5:10PM: Jury has reached a verdict. Jury returning to the […]
On Saturday, ex-President Donald Trump dipped into and out of Aspen for a fundraiser hosted by a group of typically Aspen ultra-rich types at a location outside the town mere mortals were not allowed anywhere near. There were reportedly a few small groups of both protesters and supporters along the road from Pitkin County Airport, […]
As 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark reports, another head-on collision between online conservative mythmaking and reality is playing out in Aurora, where the city’s nominally nonpartisan but de facto Republican-controlled city government under Mayor Mike Coffman is dealing with a run-down apartment building which has been hyped into some kind of international gangster “no-go zone” by conservative […]
On its face, this was just another incendiary Tweet from Colorado’s patron saint of incendiary Tweeting, Rep. Lauren Boebert: But as Natalie Musumeci reports for Business Insider, unlike most of Boebert’s social media firehose spray of attention-seeking vitriol, it was possible to determine exactly where the Congresswoman from Rifle Windsor was at the time of […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports, following up the testimony of former Mesa County deputy clerk Belinda Knisley against indicted ex-Clerk Tina Peters in her trial on felony identity theft and official misconduct charges, another former subordinate of Peters’ who like Knisley took a plea bargain for reduced charges in exchange for testifying against her former […]
Here’s an invite to a fundraiser in Aspen this Saturday so exclusive that as soon as it was discovered on the website of the Orange County, California GOP, it was swiftly removed from view. And don’t worry about actually attending, the event is reportedly already sold out: Generally speaking, when the minimum ask for dinner […]
As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, the judge who just over a week ago stopped the attempt by dissident members of the Colorado Republican Party central committee to convene a meeting to vote on the ouster of embattled party chairman Dave “New Nickname Needed, Brandon” Williams with a temporary restraining […]
The trial of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters on multiple felony counts stemming from the illegal access and theft of data from Dominion Voting Machines equipment in her care back in 2021 heard testimony yesterday from Peters’ former chief deputy clerk Belinda Knisley, who accepted a plea agreement almost two years ago in this […]
An event coming up this Saturday evening in Pueblo hosted by an organization calling itself the Strong Women of Pueblo County caught our eye for a reason that might be as obvious to you as it was to us: As you can see, one of the hosts of Saturday’s Strong Women of Pueblo event is […]
