Liberal activists are incredibly gross. After House Minority Leader Patrick Neville responded to criticism of Judge Brett Kavanaugh with a joke, liberal activists took to social media spewing hate. The worst, by far, was one activist who suggested that Neville’s school-aged daughters be assaulted so they would “experience [assault] in order for you to get what’s happening.”

How disgusting can they be?

Here’s the screenshot of the exchange:

Every liberal should immediately denounce their activists’ calling for the assault of an elected officials’ (or anyone’s) kids. We won’t hold our breath.

The Trump administration has busted a Denver VA official for taking bribes from small businesses to rig the bidding process for contracts at local facilities.

Dwane Nevins was busted by undercover FBI agents after he tried to extort $10,000 from them, Colorado Public Radio reports.

Unfortunately, a couple of contractors were also charged with going along with the bribes in the most heinous of fashion in order to get contracts for medical equipment.

The contractors planned to submit fraudulent bids from “service-disabled-veteran-owned small businesses under contract with their consulting company so that federal contracts would be set aside for only those companies,” said Jeff Dorschner, U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman.

It says little for the VA that we’re not at all surprised an employee (allegedly) was on the take and fixing bids.

We have that shinning example of incompetence to blame for their tarnished reputation — also known as the $1.7 billion Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora.

A new document made public by the Colorado State Land Board shows that should Proposition 112 pass, public schools would lose, at a minimum, $230 million in the first three years alone.

Little known fact: the state of Colorado is one of the (if not the) largest subsurface landowners in the state. If Prop 112, which is basically a ban on oil and gas development in Colorado, passes, it will eliminate 60% of revenue from mineral development – and this impacts public schools.

By law, revenue from mineral development on the Land Board’s lands goes to public education in Colorado. Since 2008, the BEST grant program (funded by these revenues) has awarded $1.7 billion in grants that support improvements in education and facilities for over 180,000 students.

That’s nothing to sneeze at. Here’s what one former teacher said, according to a press release:

“Proposition 112 deprives mineral owners like me of my property rights and strips much-needed funding from education,” said Cristy Koeneke, a retired educator and mineral owner from Arvada. “Proposition 112 is far too heavy-handed. It deprives our public schools of millions of dollars at a time when we are already dealing with huge gaps in funding. I’m a firm believer in regulating mineral development, but any new restrictions should be dependent on scientific research and consensus, not arbitrary lines in the sand.”

In case the jobs that Prop 112 would decimate aren’t enough for you, here’s just another reason that this ill-conceived notion is wrong for Colorado.

This week has been chock full of liberal attempts to smear Republicans for joking about accusations against U.S. Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh by a woman who waited nearly 40 years to tell her story, which has holes you could drive a bus through and inconsistencies that would make Bill Clinton blush.

Let us be clear: These are serious allegations. Let us be even more clear: These are serious allegations that have been handled by the accusers’ team in an seriously unserious manner.

There are a few Republicans who have made jokes about how unserious the accusers’ team has handled the potential derailment of a Supreme Court Justice nominee. The jokes may not be in good taste, but for Democrats to insist that these folks have sexual harassment training before they come back to the state legislature is massively hypocritical, at best.

To Democrats calling for this, we say – you first.

See, the problem here is that Democrats promoted a known sexual harasser among their ranks to a position of power after they received complaints about his behavior. We’re talking about now-former state Rep. Steve Lebsock and how badly Democratic Speaker Crisanta Duran mishandled the accusations against him. And, let’s not forget Democratic Sen. Dan Kagan and his misadventures in the ladies’ room.

Have Democrats self-policed and sent their leadership to sexual harassment training? Of course not. In fact, KC Becker is now basing her run for leadership on how well she handled the issue (debatable) in contrast to Duran.

Surely, the two Republicans singled out would be happy to join all the Democratic leadership that absolutely botched the handling of such issues in the House and Senate at sexual harassment training.

Democrats are up in arms when women are demeaned in sexual verbiage (as they should be)…unless the women are Republicans. In that instance, Democrats prefer to do the demeaning themselves.

Take for instance this new article by Lachlan Markey as highlighted by Free Beacon, which ties 42 different nasty, pro-Democrat (or anti-GOP) Facebook pages’ ads to Martha Tierney, former (current?) lawyer for the Colorado Democratic Party. Here is an example of the text of an ad she posted about GOP donor Rebekah Mercer:

“‘Her only job was making sex cookies with names like ‘Creamy Seduction,’ the ad text says over the video. ‘But then, she decided she’d rather seduce Republicans,’ it continued, over a photo of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon.”

Would Tierney and her affiliated organizations have spun the narrative about Mercer’s father that way? Or what about Pat Stryker? Likely not.

Then again, a woman who won’t carry the Democratic Party water is a huge betrayal for someone like Tierney and her liberal cronies. And, that kind of betrayal is worthy of all sorts of demeaning language, verging on sexual harassment. Right?

See, it’s ok if Democrats say nasty things about women, but if the shoe was on the Republican foot, there would be hell to pay.

We expect journalists in Denver and beyond to ask Tierney and her clients whether this type of rhetoric would be okay from Republicans. We’ll wait.

 

This actually doesn’t surprise us at all, but hearing Jared Polis confirm it himself that he will raise our payroll taxes to create yet another government-run system to magically fix our government-run broken health care system is always helpful.

REVEALED: Congressman Polis will raise taxes on hardworking Coloradans to pay for his government takeover of your health care. Just listen to his own explanation.

POLIS: “The most likely payment mechanism, and what we talked about federally, would be a payroll tax.”#copolitics pic.twitter.com/yV2LYbW3sy

But first, Polis will have to wave his magic wand to get around TABOR and raise our taxes.

And, didn’t we just vote this kind of health care crap down by overwhelming numbers just a couple of years ago?

Listen for yourself and decide if forking over more money out of your paycheck will help you afford healthcare.

What is it about Colorado Democrats who cycle after cycle nominate some of the most under-qualified, ignorant candidates for the State Treasurer role, yet Republicans put forward some of the most competent people in the state for the role?

Brian Watson comes to the table having survived the financial crisis as a real estate professional, and now controls more than a billion dollars in commercial real estate.  He understands capital markets, negotiating, investor relations, and most importantly – the value of a hard earned dollar.  Walker Stapleton came into the role with a Harvard MBA and experience managing his family’s complex real estate holdings.  Bill Owens went on to serve as director of several public companies.

Now, let’s turn back the clock four years, when in a side-by-side interview with Betsy Markey, Stapleton took a massive risk, and asked her an incredibly basic finance question: what is the yield curve?  This was a highly-risky maneuver because it was such an elementary question, and Stapleton would have looked like a fool and a bully had she simply answered the question.  But she did not.  She could not.  She laughed and struggled to spit out a coherent thought to change the direction of the conversation.

Today, the Democrats have presented us with a middle school math teacher to oversee the state’s $6 billion investment portfolio, sit on the board of one of the most important pensions in America, and provide leadership to complex organizations within the Treasurer’s Office.  Could you imagine this guy talking to Moody’s about bond ratings? Acting in a fiduciary capacity as a member of the PERA board? Holding his (really, our) investment managers accountable? He has literally nothing in his background to make him even remotely qualified to do any of these things, much less lead an office of professionals who are charged with carrying out these responsibilities.

Nothing wrong with teaching middle school math.  We have no reason to believe that he was anything but a great math teacher.  But the skill set one developed in a classroom of 12-year olds is slightly different that want is required for an executive leading the most important department of the Colorado state government.  And Colorado voters from both sides of the aisle recognize that fact.

A warning to Jared Polis: Your new TV ad is going to get you sued.

We haven’t the slightest clue what the ad is actually trying to convey, because just watching it gave us seizures.

Seriously.

Remember when Mary Hart was kicked off “Entertainment Tonight” because the sound of her voice was causing seizures?

Polis’s new ad has the same effect.

We don’t suffer from epilepsy, but we’re making a doctor’s appointment because we’re pretty sure we have it now.

The ad is set at a dizzying speed, like a strobe light of photos and messages, sending subliminal signals to the brain that scream, “MAKE IT STOP!”

Watch at your own risk.

And, if you suffer from epilepsy, please take our word for it, run out of the room when this ad airs.

New TV ad! Together, we can preserve our great Colorado way of life and make sure every family can thrive in the communities we love — with good-paying jobs across our state, a plan to save you money on health care, and a great education for every child. #COpolitics #COgov pic.twitter.com/iLLt7jmg9M

We’ve said for months that Jared Polis is buying the governor’s race with his own millions as campaign donations, and that his will be a constituency of millionaires.

The Colorado Sun has proven us wrong. It will be a constituency of billionaires.

Jumping into the gubernatorial fray for Polis now are California billionaire Tom Steyer, and mega, billionaire George Soros, Democrats.

Good Jobs Colorado spent about $463,000 on TV ads opposing Stapleton in the last two weeks. The Sixteen Thirty Fund, a liberal nonprofit, put $920,000 into Good Jobs, while State Victory Action, a group funded by billionaires Soros and NextGen Climate Action, an organization aligned with Steyer, donated $500,000.

Democrats have literally put the Colorado governor’s mansion on the auction block to the highest bidder, and Polis is intent on closing that deal.

Jared Polis has really outdone himself on promises he can’t keep to voters — now he’s promising prescription drugs from Canada.

He’s going to “create a system,” see, that will magically compel Congress to allow it.

Then we will need a system for doctors to relay all our scripts there, with assurances from Canada they won’t charge hefty export fees.

Ponies will then sprout magic wings and fly the medicine to our homes.

But why stop at Canada? Why doesn’t Polis promise us prescriptions from India where drugs produced in America are even cheaper?

Or better yet, why doesn’t he build a time machine and turn back the clock pre-Obamacare, before the price of drugs went through the ceiling with mandated health insurance for all?

Granted, drugs were costly before Obamacare*, but since that disaster passed, the prices have gone from pricy to outright unaffordable — like, more than our monthly mortgage unaffordable.

 

*Friendly reminder, Polis was a huge supporter of Obamacare
