Gong Show Griswold’s latest data dump a disaster | George Brauchler
Last week, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office discovered that they had exposed the addresses of more than 130,000 “confidential voters”— including victims of sexual assault, domestic violence — and her political opponent in the attorney general’s race, District Attorney Michael Allen — for weeks. The act itself, another in a growing list of…

Our legislature’s mission: absolve criminal conduct | George Brauchler
As the dust settles on a primary election that should alert Coloradans to the downward dive public safety may take in November — our current attorney general and secretary of state have presided over a state that is now America’s eighth-worst for violent crime and third-worst for property crime — we must remember the ongoing…

Will one unqualified AG replace another? | George Brauchler
Pull quote: From officially encouraging ineligible immigrants to vote, to Colorado Democrats are poised to nominate another attorney general candidate with de minimis relevant credentials or experience. Far from disqualifying, Colorado’s recent voting history mirrors that of America in favoring biography over experience, partisanship over policy, and emphasizing what divides us more than what should…

Some pointed questions for the gubernatorial hopefuls | George Brauchler
Earlier this month, the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor participated in a televised interview moderated by well-known, left-leaning legacy media folks. Predictably, the questions asked of the GOP candidates were more aggressive, pointed, biographical and almost entirely disconnected from the issues and policies that might improve life for Coloradans. Conversely, the questions asked of the Democratic candidates — both of them being statewide elected officials with well-known track records to scrutinize — were…

PERSPECTIVE: Colorado’s Legion of Doom under the Gold Dome
As a kid growing up in Colorado, I loved watching the animated series The Super Friends, who fought against evil and for good as a part of the Justice League. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and more. They were opposed by the Legion of Doom and its cast of villains, always fighting for wrong over right. Colorado has its…

PERSPECTIVE: Jailbreak — Legislative Dems look to empty Colorado’s prisons
Colorado Democrats are working feverishly this legislative session to increase the rate at which convicted felons are released from our prisons back onto our streets. They claim they must, because of overcrowding and cost. Do not fall for that lie. Colorado’s prison overcrowding “crisis” is the predictable, deliberate and unnecessary outcome of Democrat political decision-making that has long prioritized…

Colorado judges lean left – just look at the numbers | George Brauchler
Colorado’s judicial selection system is heavily skewed toward Democrats and defendants. It is time to drop the pretense that our system adequately minimizes the impact of partisan political influences on the selection of the judicial branch. In less than two weeks, Gov. Jared Polis will appoint the next justice to our seven-member Colorado Supreme Court.…

Peters earned her prison time; GOP must move on | BRAUCHLER
The Tina Peters case continues to reveal how the Republican Party has abandoned its long-time commitment to the Rule of Law, including our once sacrosanct Constitution. Republicans BT (Before Trump) were committed to law and order, without passion or prejudice. The law mattered. But no more. Last week, POTUS declared that he had granted a…

Crow’s stunt wasn’t seditious — but was dangerous | George Brauchler
This Thanksgiving, when millions of military members sit down with their families to eat turkey, they will likely discuss Crow. Colorado U.S. Rep. Jason Crow’s media lust led him to create an unprecedented video designed to instill doubt in our military in the chain of command whose orders they rely upon for mission accomplishment here…

SCOTUS: 3, Weiser: 0 — Colorado: embarrassed | George Brauchler
Recently, Attorney General and gubernatorial aspirant Phil Weiser took to social media to trumpet the news that he has become a part of 43 lawsuits against President Donald Trump (it could be up to 100 by the time of this printing). The AG’s lawsuit announcements have picked up significant pace as he battles with his…
