I did not sleep well after watching the film Civil War, about a violent conflict within the United States. In the film, a rogue soldier slaughters people he does not regard as “real Americans,” then dumps them in a mass grave. Some journalists covering the horror are torn between their mission to hold up a mirror to society and their quest for the adrenaline rush of embedding themselves in the action to get the sensational scoop.

I watched this film, as my son slept peacefully in his bed, fully aware that Dave Williams, chair of the State Republican Party, publicly anticipated civil war if “election fraud,” a fiction of his vivid imagination, continues. Aware that influential Republican activist Joe Oltmann has urged his followers to “go get our guns” and “do bad things to bad people” because allegedly “they’re going to steal the election in November.” Aware that an Ohio legislator anticipated civil war while speaking at a rally for Donald Trump and J. D. Vance (he later “regretted” his “divisive remarks”). Aware that, on the morning of the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Lauren Boebert Tweeted, “Today is 1776.” Aware that numerous Republicans called for civil war if Trump were convicted of his crimes (as he has been).

Often we take peace for granted. We take civilization for granted.

Recently, as my son attended museum camp, I walked briskly through the zoo,

Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is hosting a fundraising event in Denver Tuesday for congressional GOP nominees Jeff Crank and Gabe Evans.

The event starts at 4:30 p.m. at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse, and contribution levels vary from $500 to $5,000.

Crank is the nominee and expected winner in the mostly conservative 5th Congressional District that includes Colorado Springs.

Evans is the Republican’s choice to take on Democrat freshman U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo in the state’s new 8th District. Caraveo has a huge cash advantage over Evans with $3.5 million in the bank.

Both races were identified by the National Republican Congressional Committee this week as the most competitive in the nation, which means they will get additional campaign support from the party.

“Extreme House Democrats like Yadira Caraveo and Adam Frisch have fueled the border, crime and cost of living crises that are wreaking havoc on Coloradans’ safety and security. Gabe Evans and Jeff Hurd are in a prime position to help grow our House majority in November,” NRCC spokeswoman Delanie Bomar said in a statement.

The Young Gun program mentors and supports candidates in 26 races across the country to provide them with the necessary tools to run successful, winning campaigns against their Democratic opponents, the statement said.

A district judge appointed last year by Democrat Gov. Jared Polis put the brakes on an effort by Colorado Republicans to replace their party leadership by issuing a restraining order to halt an emergency weekend meeting.

Arapahoe County District Judge Thomas W. Henderson issued the order Friday on the heels of growing opposition among the party’s grassroots, and local leaders, the party’s congressional nominees, even U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert.

But the court order didn’t intimidate more than 100 Republicans from showing up anyway on Saturday to better organize their effort and to hear from multiple Republicans now running to replace Williams.

Announced candidates so far include Eli Bremer, State Rep. Richard Holtorf, Routt County Treasurer Brita Horn, and Douglas County GOP chair Steve Peck.

The state party leader has been missing in action since his defeat in the June primary election for Congress representing the Colorado Springs area.

Williams faces credible accusations of spending the party’s money on his own campaign, and angered the base by picking winners and losers in the party primaries and telling voters who they could and could not support. Nearly all of Williams’ endorsements were rejected by voters and lost.

Instead of puling the party together, Williams continues to pull it apart, say his critics, including Boebert.

Rather than show up and defend himself, Williams is taking his own party to court … before a Polis-appointed judge. His offenses just keep piling up.

Jared Polis is proving there’s nothing more pitiable than a desperate old balding gay Jewish guy struggling for attention to be Kamala Harris’s running mate.

We haven’t seen this level of obsequiousness from Colorado’s governor since, well …

Polis’s news interviews and social media accounts are filled with ridiculous accolades for the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, asked if he’d accept offer to serve as vp for Harris, quips:

“Look, if they if they do the polling and it turns out that they need a 49-year-old, bald and gay Jew from Boulder, Colorado, they got my number.” @DanaBashCNN: “😆😆. That was very funny.” pic.twitter.com/N2aF5L6D39

Like this claim that Harris made “significant progress” to secure the border, when she and Biden where the ones who obliterated the Trump administration rules and portions of the actual wall that secured the border.

This goes beyond spin and political fibs. Polis’s statement is downright delusional.

We fed it into our fact machine and the contraption imploded and melted into Earth’s core. A priest is on his way to make sure it didn’t accidentally open the gates to Hell.

Here’s what Polis said:

And here’s a handy little chart comparing the Trump era to the Biden-Harris administration.

On Monday, July 15, the Denver City Council agreed to refer to a voters a measure hugely expanding the number of public employees who would qualify for collective bargaining.

The measure would confer bargaining rights on “employees of executive agencies and departments under the Mayor,” and, “employees of Denver Water, the Denver Library, the City Council, the County Court, the Civil Service Commission, the Board of Adjustment and certain employees of the Auditor and Clerk and Recorder.”  All of these employees would also gain a right to strike, except for the County Court and Denver Water.

Naturally, the summary of the bill in the agenda emphasizes libraries and Denver Water, and no doubt those will be front-and-center in the ballot language.

The ballot measure continues a years-long trend in Colorado of increasing the power of public employee unions and will likely have the same effect of increasing costs at the expense of citizens.

In 2020, in the midst of a pandemic where government employees faced limited furloughs and virtually no layoffs, Gov. Jared Polis signed House Bill 20-1153, allowing state employees to collectively bargain through Colorado WINS.  Two years later, Polis signed Senate Bill 22-230, requiring counties with populations of at least 7,500 to recognize and negotiate with public employee unions.  And last year, he signed Senate Bill 23-111, letting city, school, and public university employees lay all of the groundwork for unionizing.

Mesa County’s former clerk and recorder Tina Peters goes on trial Monday for charges related to the 2020 election after the Supreme Court this week refused to hear her plea for an emergency intervention.

That would be the same U.S. Supreme Court that lefties always complain is in the pockets of Big Conservative.

The court they have demanded the Biden/Harris administration bring under their yoke of collectivist radical progressivism where everyone is more equal than somebody else.

The Supreme Court justice who denied Peters’ request was Colorado’s own Neil Gorsuch, who was nominated by (checks notes) Donald Trump.

PeakNation™ will recall Peters got into loads of trouble over leaked voting machine passwords when she tried, and failed bigly to prove election machine tampering.

She faces seven felonies for conspiring to commit criminal impersonation, identity theft, and trying to influence a public servant, plus several misdemeanor charges for violating her duties and official misconduct.

Peters pled not guilty in September 2022.

Police protecting the U.S. Capitol compound were attacked by violent protesters Wednesday as Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a fiery address to a joint session of Congress.

Yet this time, there’s been no outpouring of outrage by the Democrat lawmakers they protect, including Colorado’s Democrat delegation.

@RepJasonCrow Any comment on this? Or is your support for the US Capitol Police limited to one day?#copolitics

— Matt Engelbrecht  (@MattEngelbrecht) July 25, 2024

The answer is yes, the support of U.S. Rep. Jason Crow and his Democrat colleagues was limited to that one day of violent protests when they could blame Donald Trump.

Thousands protested with only 23 arrests Wednesday, including six protestors who made it all the way inside the gallery above the House floor where the prime minister spoke.

PeakNation™ will recall that gallery is where Crow hid from Jan. 6 protestors pounding on the chamber door who did not get inside.

The protestors blocked traffic and attempted to disrupt Netanyahu’s motorcade route. They were pepper sprayed when they turned violent and tried to push past police to rush inside the Capitol perimeter.

Democrat U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo in Colorado’s new 8th Congressional District must be really sweating her reelection campaign against Republican candidate Gabe Evans.

How else to explain why she sided with Republicans and voted in favor of a measure condemning Vice President Kamala Harris for the disastrous job she’s done as the nation’s “Border Czar?”

Politico reports Caraveo was one of only six Democrats who crossed party lines to back the resolution.

The vote comes as Democrats and their toadies in the media go on a history-scrubbing mission to insist the planet stop referring to Harris as President Biden’s “Border Czar” because it was never an official government title.

Duh, she’s the vice president. Harris was dubbed with that nickname after Biden made her his point person on addressing the border crisis when it first hit the fan three years ago.

Instead of “Border Czar,” the New York Times would have us call her that person who was “deputized by President Biden with the diplomatic mission of solving the ‘root causes’ of migration from countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, tackling the issues that spur people to flee in the first place, like drug violence and lack of economic opportunity.”

The media has resumed its bootlicking position as state Democrat Party Chair Shad Murib declares Colorado Democrats unified in coronating Kamala Harris to replace Joe Biden as the presidential primary election winner.

“Colorado Democrats are united, fired up, and ready to deliver our state for Vice President Kamala Harris,” Murib said in an email to the media, which they have dutifully reported.

And by united, Murib said 95% of the state’s convention delegates and the state party’s central committee voted to back Harris during an online straw poll among 300 people.

And yet, Colorado has 632 central committee members and delegates, so that poll is less than half the membership.

With more than half of Democrats refusing to even participate in this unity meeting and poll, we question how unified they’re really feeling about this complete disenfranchisement of grassroots Democrat voters in the primary elections.

LAKEWOOD —Jefferson County voters will be asked for a third time in four election cycles to pass a “de-TABOR” measure, allowing the county to permanently keep and spend over-collected tax revenue that would otherwise be refunded back to county residents under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR).

This time, however, they have spent more than a quarter-million dollars of taxpayer money on a marketing firm owned by the husband of Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen to convince voters to say yes.

TABOR is a constitutional amendment that, among other things, limits the growth of local government spending to a reasonable annual rate based on inflation and local economic growth. Excess revenue must be returned to taxpayers unless voters give permission to exceed those limits.

According to a news release, the Democrat-controlled Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously earlier this month to refer a question to the November general election ballot asking to “to collect, retain, and spend the full revenues from authorized revenue sources beginning in Fiscal Year 2024.”

“It’s important to us that we hear from the community on the level of service that they expect from the county,” County Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper said, despite the fact the community has told the commissioners no to attempts at overriding TABOR revenue limits twice now in the past two elections.

Commissioner Andy Kerr said the decision was made “in the spirit of TABOR,” despite the actual language of the TABOR amendment saying “time-outs” from revenue limits are only allowed to last four years without asking voters again.
