Violent Venezuelan gang targets Denver cops for violence, Homeland Security alert reads

By Colorado Peak Politics A federal alert from Homeland Security warns the violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, has given the ‘green light’ to attack and open fire on Denver law enforcement officers. A Homeland Security alert obtained by the New York Post says the intelligence was reported to the feds from law enforcement in Albuquerque citing credible human sourcing. “The Albuquerque New Mexico Police Department (APD) has released this officer safety bulletin to notify law enforcement of information regarding the Tren De Aragua criminal organization and reports that TDA members in Denver have been given a “green light” to fire on or attack law enforcement,” said the New Mexico alert. The gang has been linked to human trafficking of immigrant females, contract k...

Satirical testimony zaps lefty Colorado lawmakers on guns, furries, abortion

By Colorado Peak Politics Step aside Babylon Bee. There’s a new satire game in town and the conservative folks still left in Colorado are proud to call Scott Shamblin and Nicole McBurney their homies. Their videos mocking the state’s ridiculously progressive legislature have gone viral across social media as frontman Shamblin and writer McBurney piss off the libs while sending rational thinking folks into hysterical fits of laughter. We strongly suspect those are not their real names, and after seeing their videos, PeakNation™ will likely agree. And applaud. Behold! Gen Z has a sense of humor.

Placeholder won, but voting signaled who’s leading in race to replace Buck

By Colorado Peak Politics Republican delegates rolled through six rounds of balloting before finally choosing Greg Lopez to serve as a placeholder for the remainder of Ken Buck’s congressional term representing the 4th District. But first, Lopez must win the special General Election on June 25 against whomever the Democrats chose as their candidate. Democrats are already attacking on social media with old clips of Kyle Clark throwing mud at Lopez, the former mayor of Parker and GOP gubernatorial candidate. Media coverage this morning is also focused on rehashing Lopez’s previous negative media coverage in an attempt convince Republicans not to support him. This is a strong conservative district, so it’s unlikely a Democrat could pull off a win. Meanwhile, the balloting si...

Commentary: Williams can’t drain the swamp while he’s stuck in the mud

By Colorado Peak Politics Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams won the support of his party delegates during a district assembly to qualify for the ballot in the 5th congressional district election to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn. It’s no surprise that delegates who also voted for Williams last year to serve as chairman would also back his congressional race. That’s why other top contenders for the seat took the alternate route to get on the ballot through the petition process with voters, which requires a minimum of 1,500 valid signatures. rEAD THE FULL COMMENTARY AT COLORADO PEAK POLITICS

Stacking the deck: Polis appointment cancels out election for District Attorney

Source: Colorado Peak Politics It’s not just the state legislature that Democrats are packing with candidates selected by party insiders instead of voters. Now it looks like Gov. Polis is trying to stack the judiciary in the same manner — by filling a sudden vacancy with his own appointee and scaring off candidates who don’t have the money to run against a pseudo incumbent just a few months later. District Attorney Christian Champagne of the 6th Judicial District that serves La Plata, Archuleta, and San Juan Counties, bailed on his job one year before his term-limited seat left him unemployed and landed a job with the Democrat state attorney’s general office. That gave Polis the authority to fill Champagne’s term in the middle of a campaign between Jason Eley and Sean Murray to...

Liberal media says Denver made a ‘grave misstep’ in cuts to pay for migrant costs

By Colorado Peak Politics The Denver Post’s editorial board has made it official among his voting base: Mayor Johnston made a grave misstep cutting services directly impacting families to pay for Biden’s open borders and resulting migrant costs. The bottom line is this: Denver is still out $28 million for sheltering, feeding, and shipping off tens of thousands of migrants to other cities paying for their bus and plane tickets. Instead of using the $262 million in the city’s emergency reserves or even the $34 million in contingency funds to cover those costs, Johnston opted to make Denver taxpayers feel the pain just to recoup a measly $5 million of the city’s $4 billion budget. From the Denver Post: Johnston announced cuts last week to some of Denver’s core s...

Gov. Polis busted for cooking on gas stove in his home

By Colorado Peak Politics Did our glassy-eyed governor just expose his hypocrisy and ownership of a (Gasp!) gas stove in sharing a picture of his Valentine’s Day meal with the masses? Governor Polis doesn't want us to have gas stoves or gas water heaters, or anything gas... yet HE has a gas stove?! #copolitics https://t.co/ZV4EWeyV1l— Joshua T. Hosler (@JoshuaHosler) February 15, 2024 The folks on X sure seem to think so. And yet, it’s a little hard to tell, because the photo was cropped so suspiciously close. So we overexposed the shot just a smidgen to take a closer look at the blacked out burner in the bottom right corner to see if that was a gas top grate, or a glass top for an electric stove. Lo and behold, that ain’t no flat top glass burning electric...

Hickenlooper plays politics with border security

By Colorado Peak Politics What we have here is a failure to communicate. Senate advances military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan https://t.co/HM0fEz0TFI— Caitlyn Kim (@caitlynkim) February 13, 2024 When Democrats say they want border security, what they mean is Joe and Jody Taxpayer need to cough up more money by the billions to pay for an entire new infrastructure to keep borders open and migrants pouring through by the millions. When Republicans say they want border security, what they mean is Joe Biden needs to reverse his policies abusing immigration policies to allow migrants by the millions to pour through the border. And, fix the border wall where drug dealers, criminals, terrorists and human traffickers lurk. The solution to an out-of-control migrant cri...

The Supremes didn’t buy it. Griswold faces crushing defeat to ban Trump from ballot

By Colorado Peak Politics Poor Jena Griswold. Despite the secretary of state’s best efforts to ban Donald Trump from the Colorado ballot, the U.S. Supreme Court just wasn’t buying it during Thursday’s arguments. Even the liberal justices were skeptical and sound unlikely to uphold the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision allowing the states to determine who can be president. Liberal Justice Elena Kagan basically told Colorado to get over itself. “Why should a single state have the ability to make this determination, not only for their own citizens but for the rest of the nation?” We concur! Fellow liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson got straight to the point. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was never intended to determine who is eligible to hold the office of t...

Democrat turns tail on proposed pet tax after voter backlash

By Colorado Peak Politics A lawmaker who ruffled the fur of Colorado pet lovers with her bill mandating state registration of our four-legged children plus a mandated pet tax has turned tail and now plans to withdraw her measure. State Rep. Reginal English, a tax-and-spend Democrat from El Paso County, quickly came under fire on social media for her bill. It imposed fees of $8.50 on every pet with a designated caregiver, $25 for pets without designated caregivers, and $16 for pets that were permitted to breed. Channel 7 first reported English’s “decision to pull the bill was not because she felt pressured by the backlash.” Yet reported a few sentences later: English said the decision to pull the bill was not because she felt pressured by the backlash, but came ...
