This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Republicans have managed to break both chambers of Congress as they refuse to not only accomplish their most basic constitutional obligations, but fail to accomplish even their real bad political objectives. Then, Gabe-ish Evans — the half-term state representative running for the GOP nomination to lose to […]
The extreme, no-comprise gun rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) has been gradually losing influence in Colorado in recent years. That emasculation has never been more evident than it was today. In a laugh-out-loud ridiculous letter dated Feb. 12, 2024, RMGO Executive Director Taylor Rhodes is DEMANDING that Democratic leaders at the State Capitol immediately […]

(Failed upward by Colorado Pols) Janak Joshi, a former GOP legislator, announced his candidacy for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District late last month. He told Colorado Politics he hopes to stand out as a “conservative leader” — and he seems to have already won over some prominent far-right activists. “Janak Joshi has recently announced that he […]
Immigration at America’s southern border is one of the most pressing issues of the 2024 election cycle. During last month’s 9-candidate debate for the Republican nomination in CO-04, every single candidate said that fixing our immigration problem was the single most important issue in that race. Republicans have demanded legislation to deal with the border. […]
On Tuesday, The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby broke the news that indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ trial set to begin Friday would be delayed until this summer after Peters abruptly fired her second set of attorneys. Since Peters’ indictment on a range of felony and misconduct charges stemming from her failed attempt […]
House Republicans tried — and failed — to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday, which was another in a long string of embarrassments for a congressional majority considered to be among the most dysfunctional in modern history. Colorado Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley) was among four Republicans to ultimately vote “NO” on impeaching Mayorkas, […]
This just in from the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby, just days before her trial on a range of felony and other criminal counts related to the theft of election system data in her charge in a failed attempt to prove the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump, ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS reports on what looks like authentic pushback against the Colorado Republican Party’s support for indicted ex-Clerk Tina Peters, with dozens of Republicans not named Dave Williams slamming the move as an embrace of “alternate facts” too far: “Tina Peters is not a hero,” the open letter reads, in part. “We ask our […]
If you spend enough time following Jefferson County politics you’ll sooner or later run across Jeffco Republican Party chair “Nancy Pallozzi,” whose entire claim to fame appears to rest upon her phonetically similar name to the former Democratic Speaker of the House, and has been involved in a variety of low-level and generally unsuccessful political […]
It’s official: George Brauchler is once again running for office; he filed for the brand-new 23rd Judicial District Attorney race yesterday. Rumors about his entry have been circulating for months, sometimes even fed by Brauchler himself, who would avoid making any definitive statements when callers to his KNUS morning radio show would occasionally ask him […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we learn that all persons are persons from our coverage of the ClusterBuck in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District…which continues with the results of a debate, a straw poll, and some partial campaign finance reports that are coming in as we record.

If you had spent any time at all trying to think up something that would make the 2024 election cycle for Colorado Republicans even more bizarre, this is probably what you would have come up with… As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: Doug Bruce, the author of Colorado’s […]
As the Colorado General Assembly’s 2024 session kicked off last month, we took note of a release from the Colorado Democratic Party responding to one of the loudest and most frequently-delivered complaints from the 19 Republican members of the 65-seat Colorado House: that supermajority Democrats we’re unfairly “silencing” Republicans by curtailing obvious attempts by the […]

State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R-Akron) is still talking about the one thing that he should absolutely not be talking about as he tries to secure the Republican nomination for Congress in CO-04. He’s still blaming everyone else for words that came out of his own mouth…and now, he’s even blaming Colorado Pols! On Friday, Jan. 19th, […]
The 2024 state legislative session has gotten off to a slow start, primarily because House Republicans have been following the lead of their brethren in Congress by acting ridiculous and focusing a significant amount of time on attacking each other. Now that the Republican micro-minority in the House finally has a new “leader,” state legislators […]
The latest in our long-running “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator” series, Arizona Public Radio’s Bree Burkitt reports on a measure that Republican state Sen.

The latest interpersonal squabble on the Republican-controlled Aurora City Council, which in recent years has been a veritable Jerry Springer Show of bad blood and worse ethnic impressions, took an even curiouser turn last week after at least two of the would-be “family values” conservatives on the Council pitched a fit over a baby present […]
