Not funny — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: an election fraud conspiracist, a militia leader, and a disbarred tax attorney walk into a comedy club… It’s not a joke.

This Saturday, carpetbagging quasi-incumbent Rep. Lauren Boebert will be holding a campaign event in Castle Rock, which many Denver metro-area liberals might still be surprised to learn is how close Boebert’s would-be new district is to their own abodes. Accompanying Rep. Boebert at her Castle Rock stop is Rep. Thomas Massie, the ever-cantankerous Kentucky Republican […]
Following up on last week’s endorsement of CO-03 GOP candidate “Raging” Ron Hanks by former presidential candidate and anti-immigration patron saint Tom Tancredo, here’s another full-throated throwdown of support for Hanks from another individual who, while maybe not persuasive to you, carries a degree of heft in some conservative circles–“MyPillow Guy” Mike Lindell: That’s Colorado […]

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, the co-opting of the machinery of the Colorado Republican Party by chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams to service Williams’ personal aspirations is once again stirring controversy after Williams broadsided his CD-5 GOP primary opponent Jeff Crank under the party letterhead: On Monday, the party sent out an […]

The stunning news Wednesday that America’s Most Vulnerable™ Rep.

As of that writing, state Sen. Janice […]

This morning, Colorado’s America’s most vulnerable incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert did something she in her term and a half in Congress has almost never done for local candidates who (at least at one time) could have used her help–an endorsement, not just for a fellow Republican but wading into a safe-seat GOP primary in […]
Big news out of Georgia this morning in, where one of the key early members of ex-President Donald Trump’s “elite strike force” legal team, attorney Sidney Powell, has agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges of election interference in a deal that avoids conviction for felony racketeering in the plot to overturn the 2020 presidential […]
A guest op-ed appeared in the Colorado Springs Gazette last Tuesday, ostensibly written by freshman whack-right Republican state Rep. Ken “Skin” DeGraaf and castigating former Colorado Republican Party chairman Dick Wadhams for Wadhams’ increasingly intense criticism of the current party chairman, former Rep. Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams: Dick Wadhams, although a former Chairman of the […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, members of the Colorado Republican Party Central Committee meeting over the weekend rejected the latest attempt by far-right chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams to purify Republican primaries in Colorado of influence from heretical unaffiliated voters: The Colorado GOP’s central committee on Saturday decided against opting out of […]

Newer readers can be forgiven for not knowing the name Jon Caldara, the decades-long frontman for the conservative Independence Institute–an organization that has declined in relevance with the sagging fortunes of Colorado Republicans generally.
