Here's how I define "chutzpah," #copolitics
The phony "libertarian" who has been actively undermining the right to hunt in Colorado, by stacking our parks and wildlife board with animal rights activists, and who has led an irrational and self-destructive crusade against fossil fuels in Colorado, including natural gas, is over on Facebook scolding people who might want to support two ballot measures that guarantee the right to hunt and use natural gas in Colorado.
@GovofCO also has the chutzpah to tout this as "the free state of Colorado," while actively working to deny residents the freedom to hunt and the freedom to use fossil fuels -- which is what forced reasonable people to put these measures before voters.
Does it look like a "free state" to you, Jared, when residents are forced to go to the ballot to secure rights that are taken for granted in almost every other state in the country?
Eight long years of Jared Polis made these ballot measures necessary. Eight long years of one-party-rule by the gaggle of radicals in the Colorado Statehouse made these measures necessary. Now the people who undermined our rights to hunt and use reliable energy are warning of dire consequences if we take a stand against the madness that has gripped this state throughout their reign of error? Now THAT'S what I call chutzpah.
Strike a blow against Jared's insufferable hypocrisy, and secure your besieged rights to hunt and use fossil fuels, by voting "Yes" on ballot Measures 82 and 83!

If anyone thinks the Colorado voter roll is an accurate representation of eligible voters in the state, they are being a fool to themselves and a burden to others.
The current public voter roll shows that in addition to 190 active status Colorado registrants whose ballot mailing addresses are in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), there are also six brave Coloradans who have somehow or other snuck across the demilitarized zone and are allegedly temporarily or permanently living in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea).
Of course, if you have an overseas mailing address on the Colorado voter roll, you get to vote electronically so it doesn’t really matter where you say you live, overseas or in the U.S.
Curiously, of the six Coloradans who are alleged North Korean residents, five voted in November 2024 and four of them were registered Democrats.
Geography is NOT one of the Colorado Secretary of State’s strong suits.
Then again, neither is election integrity.

Jena Griswold Has Failed as Secretary of State—She’d Be a Complete Disaster as Attorney General
If you think Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s track record in her current role is bad, brace yourself for what happens if she gets elected Attorney General.
From staggering staff turnover—burning through three deputy secretaries, three chief legal counsels, and four chiefs of staff in a matter of months—to sitting on embarrassing government records, her incompetence is unmatched. Recent reporting reveals her office spent nearly $25,000 in taxpayer money on a leadership consultant’s report that was so "highly critical of her" that her office seemingly made it disappear to avoid public record requests.
A state judge had to order her office to make a simple phone call to recover the document, calling their excuses "implausible."
Gross Incompetence: Leaked county election-equipment passwords online and hid it from local officials until it hit the news.
Toxic Leadership: Drove away top talent through sheer internal dysfunction and toxic management.
Zero Accountability: Refuses transparency, wastes taxpayer dollars on legal battles to hide her own failures, and displays utter contempt for public records laws.
Griswold has proven she cannot manage a single department without chaos, secrecy, and total failure. Handing her the keys to the Attorney General's office would lead to skyrocketing crime, unchecked lawlessness, and an absolute collapse of state justice. She is toxic, incompetent, and unfit for higher office.

Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell another TABOR end run.
Kudos to the @DenverGazette for doing some genuine journalism, my attempting to calculate what Coloradans are paying in stealthy shadow taxes -- the "fees" that politicians have been piling on us, stealthily and dishonestly, in a bid to skirt the letter and spirit of the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, or TABOR: archive.md/Qlk5I
Our pockets are being picked clean. And for what? A state that performs poorly, doesn't adequately maintain or modernize the roads, has been chasing away businesses, has destabilized the grid, regulates everyone to death, and has millions to hand out to non-citizens who are in the country illegally.
It's a scandalous ripoff. But nothing will change until we throw off the tyranny of one party rule and restore some semblance of ideological and political balance to #Colorado.

We’re heartbroken to share information about a sudden, tragic loss within our agency.
On June 16, an LCSO Deputy, Sergeant, and Sergeant’s family member were vacationing together on a motorcycle trip.

Please explain your double standard on Colorado job losses, Democrats.
When 130 well-paid ecocrats from Boulder's NREL get axed in a budget cutting move, ColoDems like @RepPettersen go apoplectic, predictably pointing the finger of blame at their party's all-purpose scapegoat, Donald Trump: kdvr.com/news/local/national…
But Pettersen, @GovofCO Polis, Bennet, Hickenlooper and all the rest had zero to say -- not a word -- when 133 actual energy producers lost their jobs at the ColoWyo coal mine on Jan. 1st: denvergazette.com/2025/11/26…
They care more about Boulder climatecrats than Moffat County coal miners. And that's all you really need to know about the inverted priorities/values of today's Democrat party.
Boulder will survive the loss of a few climate modelers. But will Meeker, Craig, and other parts of rural western Colorado survive the eco-left's scorched earth campaign against coal?

Islam is a supremacist poison that enters first in the guise of weakness, grows by exploiting sympathy and benefits, then, once strong, reveals its true face: total control, imposition of sharia, and subjugation or destruction of non-Muslims.
Its Quran and Hadith openly command warfare, plunder, enslavement, and killing against unbelievers. Muhammad’s life? Endless raids, beheading critics, turning war-captive women into sex slaves, this is not a path of peace, it is a path of conquest.
Europe’s generosity is being weaponized by this ideology: it enters first crying help us, then later demands obey our laws and takes over. This is not a religion, it is a political-military doctrine that does not seek coexistence, only victory. Wherever it gains strength, free thought, criticism, equality, all are wiped out.
Europe, you are inviting your own destruction while calling it humanity. If you keep nurturing this toxin, it will swallow your civilization whole. Shut the doors, expel the preachers of domination, or your future will drown in the shadow of sharia.

This is what mismanagement looks like.
Colorado Dem’s blew through one-time federal COVID dollars on permanent programs and now want families to foot the bill.
An $850 MILLION budget hole didn’t happen by accident.
@GovofCO needs to be held accountable.
Chief John Minor Ret. retweeted
The blame for the disasters known as the Colorado PUC and Colorado Parole Board can be blamed entirely on the one person responsible for both disasters.
Jared Polis.
Colorado Gov Jared Polis(D) is 100% responsible for both. He appointed ALL the members of both.

The FBI Denver Transnational Organized Crime Task Force was executing a federal search warrant in Wheat Ridge this week. We found 290 pounds of methamphetamine; 35 pounds of fentanyl pills; 2 pounds of cocaine; a couple ounces of heroin; and 2 firearms. There is no way we were leaving all of this poison behind to be distributed to people in our community. Thanks to @AuroraPD, @ATF_Denver, @USPIS_Den, @HSIDenver & @IRS-CI for the assist!

Uninsured motorist insurance is what is driving the cost of car insurance in Colorado. 250% increase in 10 years. Another hidden tax from progressive sanctuary state and non-enforcement rules. Don’t let them lie to you. #colorado #insurance
