Yesterday evening, Rep. Lauren Boebert took some time out of her busy schedule (she still has her committee assignments, after all) to mingle with National Guard troops deployed to defend the U.S. Capitol in the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection against the building and its occupants. No doubt the troops were polite, and some […]
With any luck, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, thus sparing us many more weeks months of fawning stories about Tom Brady.

Chase Woodruff at Colorado Newsline reports on a potentially explosive new angle on the story of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s dubiously large reimbursements from her campaign accounts for mileage, racking up more such expenses in one election season than her predecessor did in a decade: Less than two weeks before being elected to represent Colorado’s 3rd […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Yep, you read that right. At a time in America when being Black can put a target on your back, it is time to embrace all our rights, including the 2nd Amendment. I am proud of the 1770 Armory and Gun Club. “This is a very low stress environment, from the […]
(What’s old and weird is new and slightly less weird – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Jonathan Lockwood, once considered a right-wing GOP activist, wants Colorado Republicans to have a “robust conversation about whether we will be the party of Lincoln or loonies.” And he’s challenging his opponents in the race to lead the Colorado Republican […]
Five days ago, the RMPBS reported on Gov. Jared Polis and First Gentleman Marlon Reis receiving their first doses of coronavirus vaccine at the Salud Clinic in Commerce City: As thousands of Colorado senior citizens reported to Coors Field Saturday, January 30 to receive their COVID-19 vaccines, Governor Jared Polis and First Gentleman Marlon Reis […]
Congresswoman Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert has generated a significant amount of attention since winning election in Colorado’s third congressional district. Much of that attention has been, well, less than flattering, but it has nevertheless made her into a social media curiosity and a familiar name to politically-interested observers around the country. A handful of mostly-unknown people […]

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The Colorado Springs Gazette’s Ernest Luning usefully updates this story, and though it appears that the United American Defense Force militia group will not be providing security at this weekend’s El Paso County GOP central committee meeting as previously reported, the state of play is still quite confusing: El Paso County Republicans have […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii wrap up a month that seemed like it would never end and revisit “The Boebert Report.” We also discuss the race for the next State Republican Party Chair and the odd story of Weld County, Wyoming. But the highlight of this […]
As CNN reports, Democrats in Washington are moving ahead with a plan to pass a comprehensive $1.9 trillion economic relief package via the budget reconciliation process, after a meeting between President Joe Biden and Senate Republicans to discuss their tiny fraction of a relief bill by comparison failed to impress: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer […]
(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 […]

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 […]
(Must read stuff – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Good news for the conspiracist wing of the Colorado Republican party: both candidates currently vying to replace Congressman Ken Buck as state GOP chair believe Denver-based Dominion Voting may have been responsible for election fraud, both in Colorado and across the nation. Former Secretary of State Scott […]
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.
