As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, former University of Colorado visiting conservative scholar and current attorney representing the Colorado Republican Party John Eastman reported to Fulton County Jail today for booking on his range of Georgia felony charges related to the strategy allegedly masterminded by Eastman to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election: […]
It was just yesterday that we wrote in this space about the idea that Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) was caught in the same political death spiral that ended the public lives of previous Republicans such as Cory Gardner and Walker Stapleton. Welp, you can add another log to that fire. According to a new poll […]
In recent years, big-name Republican politicians in Colorado have tended to follow a similar pattern in advance of their electoral demise — a political death spiral that ends with a thud in November. In 2018, it was Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton who couldn’t get out of his own way en route to an 11-point […]
(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Sara Wilson, Colorado Newsline The Colorado Medical Board decided Thursday that a so-called abortion reversal method is outside the “generally accepted standard of practice.” The board did not go so far as to declare the method unprofessional conduct, as Democrats in the state Legislature hoped for. […]
MONDAY UPDATE: As Nick Riccardi and David Klepper report for The Associated Press, Peters embodies a problem that the entire Republican Party will be dealing with in 2024: During his conference, Lindell prefaced the video by saying “it isn’t about evidence” and meant to evoke the atmosphere of December 2020, as Trump was challenging the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, he’s Once, Twice, Thrice, Fourthce times indicted? Big ass loser Donald Trump has been charged with another series of crimes, this time in Georgia; can the big man escape the big house when he doesn’t have the power to pardon himself for committing felonies at the state […]
The Denver Catholic Archdiocese is wading into the issue of Colorado’s new Universal Preschool program with a disgusting and ridiculous lawsuit, proving once again that for the Archdiocese, there is never a wrong time to do the wrong thing. As Elizabeth Hernandez reports for The Denver Post: The Denver Catholic Archdiocese along with two of […]
In case you missed this news from Monday, Black Bear Pass in the San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado (near Telluride) is currently closed to traffic…but that didn’t stop some off-road enthusiasts from trying to drive up the mountain anyway. From Denver7: Monday’s incident started in the afternoon, when the sheriff’s office warned that a […]
“When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor.” –Lyndon B. Johnson
As we discussed in the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast (below) the self-inflicted disaster in Aurora that is Mayor Mike Coffman’s idiotic “strong mayor” initiative campaign may well end up preventing Coffman from winning a second term in November. A longtime Republican elected official, Coffman was narrowly elected Mayor in 2019 in […]
Former President Donald Trump already held the record of being the first current or former U.S. President to be indicted for a crime. Trump has probably now put that record forever out of reach after Monday’s big indictment in Georgia marked his FOURTH in just the last four months. Yet as Peter Baker explains for […]
UPDATE 9:10PM: Indictment details are beginning to trickle out, and it appears that both Colorado-connected co-conspirators John Eastman and Jenna Ellis are set to face felony charges along with Donald Trump: The charges against Trump and allies are beginning to surface on the Fulton County docket. #gapol pic.twitter.com/YcOXy2imsm — Greg Bluestein (@bluestein) August 15, 2023 […]
“When humor goes, there goes civilization.” –Erma Bombeck
The Durango Herald’s Reuben Schafir reports on far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert’s August recess tour through La Plata County on Wednesday, sitting down with local officials to discuss issues pertinent to Boebert’s constituents in the southwest corner of the state. High on the list was the ever-present issue of wildfire prevention and management, laying heavily on […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: We have a new addition to the list of things that Rep. Lauren Boebert finds confusing: Sarcasm. —– Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) has an irritating habit of regularly taking credit for federal funding in the third congressional district that she quite literally had NOTHING to do with acquiring. It happens so often, in […]
Politico’s Jordain Carney reports on what appears to be a significant flip-flop on the part of Rep. Ken Buck that, while we consider it welcome on balance, we can’t fully explain based on Buck’s own prior statements: House Republicans once regarded Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as their easiest impeachment target. Yet even that seems […]
We wrote last week about Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s embarrassingly ham-handed communications strategy revolving around his idea to turn the City of Aurora into a “strong mayor” government with — SURPRISE — Coffman himself as Aurora’s new supreme leader. Both the petition that got the “strong mayor” idea on the November ballot, and Coffman’s involvement, […]
(Just wow — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Even if he loses his law license due to his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, former Trump attorney John Eastman will continue working on Colorado Republican Party’s case to stop unaffiliated voters from participating in primary elections, according to a lead attorney on […]
“Our democratic richness arrives when we’re able to comprehend our collective humanity accurately.” –Stanley Crouch
We can’t close out the week of news without a mention beneath the din of historic presidential indictments and local Republican existential crises of more positive headlines for Colorado’s freshman Rep. Yadira Caraveo, who as we’ve discussed in this space is following the low-drama high-productivity track that GOP sophomore self-immolator Rep. Lauren Boebert should be […]
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, a Republican, has served in elected office since basically just after the dinosaurs went extinct. This year, Coffman is running for re-election AND pushing a ballot initiative that would give the next Aurora Mayor — which he hopes will be him — significantly more power. As we discussed in this space […]
“When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.” –Oscar Wilde
We took note earlier this week of defeated 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl’s latest venture, peddling “woke free” household products from a MAGA-themed multilevel marketing organization (MLM) known as “Patriot Switch.” Patriot Switch features the usual Amway-style network marketing hype about someday replacing the traditional retail economy with reliance on “home businesses” hard-selling overpriced […]
(A must-read — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Vince Bzdek, the editor of the Colorado Springs Gazette, had already forced Megan Schrader to lower her ethical bar — as a journalist — well below her comfort level. Her months-long investigation of Republican Senate candidate Robert Blaha had been, as she tells it, gutted by Bzdek at […]
ABC News joined every business outlet in the land, even most of the Fox News family of partisan political news spin doctors, in reporting today on unassailably strong economic numbers for the first half of 2023: U.S. economic growth accelerated over three months ending in June, blowing past economist expectations and tamping down concerns about […]
