As the Washington Post reported Friday evening and 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark took note of last night (video above), an ally of indicted ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, whose trial in Mesa County on multiple felony charges stemming from the unauthorized access to voting equipment she allegedly allowed in a failed attempt to obtain evidence […]
John Aguilar of The Denver Post reports today on final discussions about a proposal to allow extensive oil and gas extraction operations to take place in and around both the Aurora Reservoir and the Lowry Landfill Superfund Site (where an estimated 138 million gallons of liquid industrial waste are buried): A contentious plan to drill up […]
The long-awaited trial of ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters on felony charges related to the theft and redistribution of proprietary Dominion Voting Systems software in her charge as part of a failed attempt to supply evidence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump begins this week, and the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles […]
That’s the latest highly consequential late Friday afternoon news from Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, a restraining order has been issued shutting down tomorrow’s scheduled meeting of Colorado GOP central committee members in Brighton to consider removing chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams and his leadership allies at the behest of […]
Newsweek reports that GOP freshman Sen. J.D. Vance has by all accounts had a historically bad launch as Donald Trump’s running mate, with polls since the end of the Republican National Convention last week showing that Vance is the least popular vice presidential pick from either party in over 40 years: The Ohio senator’s net […]
The campaign of worm-brained Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. continues to run into snags. As Andy Kenney reports for Colorado Public Radio, Worm-F-K, Jr. isn’t likely to be on Colorado’s Presidential ballot as a Libertarian candidate after all: A fight over which candidate will represent the Libertarian Party on Colorado’s presidential ballot may be […]
UPDATE: Once again from Ernest Luning at the Gazette, Dave Williams’ ally El Paso County chair Vickie Tonkins takes a swipe at her vice-chair, leading anti-Williams insurgent Todd Watkins in the latest round of high-dudgeon low-impact retaliation: A censure resolution pushed by El Paso County GOP chairwoman Vickie Tonkins and approved Tuesday night by the […]
9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger provides the latest updates in the micro-saga we’ve been watching unfold within the Colorado Republican Party under historically controversial chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, for whom the knives are out after Williams’ audacious gambit of turning the state party into a personal political vehicle for himself and favored Republican primary […]
Republicans have had a hard time winning elections in Colorado in recent years. The way back to political relevance in the state legislature, such that one exists when the GOP only holds 19 of a possible 65 seats, apparently starts with a bonkers candidate in Douglas County named Matt Burcham. The 2022 “Bluenami” in Colorado […]
UPDATE: As we noted last week, Colorado Republicans including the state’s top congressional candidate Gabe Evans bearhugged J.D. Vance, which won’t age well in the event Vance turns into a boat anchor for the Republican ticket: “Americans relate to J.D. Vance,” says Gabe Evans. Don’t forget he said so. —– With the announcement Sunday that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder In the days following the first public call by another party leader for a vote on his removal, Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams took two actions: he announced the censure of that leader by her fellow executive committee members, and paid himself his next […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder In 2020, when he was a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado’s Benson Center for Western Conservative Thought, John Eastman speculated in a Newsweek op-ed that Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris might not be eligible to serve as vice president because her […]
As The New York Times reports, Vice President Kamala Harris has wasted no time in locking down support after President Biden’s Sunday announcement that he would no longer seek re-election in 2024: Harris moved swiftly to assert herself as the de facto Democratic nominee for president on Monday, her first full day as a candidate, […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…just when you thought this election couldn’t possibly get any more insaner, Donald Trump survived an actual assassination attempt; if you’re just waking up from a coma, yes, he’s about to officially be renominated as the GOP presidential candidate. We check in on the RNC convention in Milwaukee, […]
The Colorado Republican Party is not exactly rife with rocket surgeons these days. The Party itself is spiraling into new depths with its escalating calls for things that Republicans must oppose, which includes stuff like “schools” and other basic things like “laws.” A sizable chunk of Colorado Republicans would like to remove Dave Williams as […]
UPDATE: There is a lot of information to be gleaned, including between the lines, from this rundown via POLITICO’s “Playbook”. —– An exclusive report from Jeff Mason at Reuters today quotes Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper saying that President Joe Biden, who was forced off the campaign trail yesterday after testing positive for COVID-19, is close […]
“In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.” –Winston Churchill
When we last discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding Colorado Republican Party chairman and twice-failed congressional candidate Dave Williams, the party appeared to have successfully put off the question forced by dissenting members of the party central committee of Williams’ continued chairmanship until the end of August–well beyond the 30-day window prescribed for these kinds of […]
Democrats in the state legislature passed a landmark bill in 2019 creating a reinsurance program intended to help reduce health care costs for Coloradans — an effective solution to a problem that Jared Polis campaigned on heavily when running for Governor in 2018. Thanks to that legislation, health care premiums in Colorado DECREASED for the […]
In an interesting turn of events in Colorado’s eighth congressional district, Republican Gabe-ish Evans is paying himself a “salary” out of his congressional campaign account as he attempts to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo. As Jesse Paul reports for The Colorado Sun, there’s nothing illegal about this…but it’s raising eyebrows considering how hard Republicans […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports today on the issue of abortion as it affects competitive congressional races in our state–in particular the coming showdown between Democratic CO-03 once and future contender Adam Frisch and Grand Junction attorney Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd. Hurd, as readers know, was recruited by Republican institutional unfriends of Boebert to […]
To say that Congressperson Lauren Boebert is a “one-trick pony” wouldn’t be entirely accurate — unless you’re talking about her ideas for legislation related to federal agencies. Boebert is a big fan of using her interpretation of the so-called “Holman Rule” to attempt to essentially eliminate salaries of top officials in government agencies by reducing […]
UPDATE #5: We called it on the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast. Here’s the clip: —– UPDATE #4: Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver comes out fighting: —– UPDATE #3: Here’s a handy roundup of J.D. Vance’s past quotes on Donald Trump from Fox News that you’ll most likely never see again: —– UPDATE […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder MyPillow founder and election denier Mike Lindell was a surprise guest at a movie screening of Let My People Go, held July 12, at Orchard Mesa Baptist Church in Grand Junction. The film stars David Clements, a former lawyer and fired New Mexico State […]
Westword’s Chris Perez reports on the latest brush with the law (that we know of) involving America’s catbird of carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert, who successfully ditched her growing list of professional and personal problems, at least for now, behind the Continental Divide by winning the clown-car CO-04 GOP primary in a blowout. But on a […]
