There are five ways you can fight back. 1. Vote early and often 2. Talk to your neighbors 3. Volunteer for a local campaign 4. Donate to a local campaign 5. Don't be shy Getting involved at the local level is the best use of your time and cheaper than moving to a free state.

Democrat Loses Control—Just Like Manny Rutinel🤣 When passion for local politics turns into a full-blown dramatic performance. 🎭🍿 If you ever wondered what peak entitlement looks like, picture a supporter getting escorted out of a town event by police because they couldn't grasp the concept of "letting someone else speak." You don't have to imagine; we see it every day with Democrats. Turns out, shouting over everyone else, demanding total control of the room, and treating any civil debate like a high-stakes arena isn't "standing up for what's right"—it's just being completely unhinged. When you act like your opinion is the only one that matters and try to steamroll normal public discourse, don't be surprised when security steps in to remind you that the world doesn't revolve around your main-character syndrome. Zero interest in actual conversation, maximum interest in throwing a public meltdown. You really can't make this stuff up! 🚓💨 This is the Democratic way. This is the Manny Rutinel way.

RIP My TABOR Refund: A Tragic Comedy in One Ballot Measure 💸👻 Colorado lawmakers looked at our TABOR refund checks and said, "Hey, wouldn’t that money look better sitting in our budget instead of your bank account?" Enter Proposition NN on your Nov. 3 ballot. Here is the quick rundown on why The Gazette Editorial Board is begging you to vote NO: 📉 Bye-bye, extra cash: Remember those $800+ refund checks? Kiss 'em goodbye forever. 🎈 Bloated budget: NN effectively kills TABOR's spending cap, blowing up the state budget by up to $5 BILLION a year. 🏫 "It’s for the kids!" (Sort of): Lawmakers claim the money will go to public education "without raising taxes." Except keeping your refund is a tax hike, and history shows a chunk of that cash will likely evaporate into bureaucratic paperwork and "edu-crat" admin salaries before ever reaching a classroom. 📊 The plot twist: K-12 state funding has already jumped 41% since 2021, while student enrollment has actually dropped by 3.5%. So we’re already spending way more money on fewer kids! Bottom line: Democrats are hoping a chaotic election season keeps you from reading the fine print. Don't let your refund get lost in the state budget black hole. 🕳️🙅‍♂️ denvergazette.com/2026/10/21…

Manny Rutinel: A Masterclass in Political Hypocrisy You can’t make this stuff up. Manny Rutinel wants voters in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District to believe he’s a champion against corporate influence and billionaire control. Yet, fresh campaign finance filings reveal he just set a state record by pulling in a staggering $4.2 million in a single quarter—shattering records and flooding his campaign with massive cash reserves. While posturing as a anti-capitalist progressive, he is more than happy to cash big checks from elite donors to buy a seat in Congress. t’s the exact same script as his record on agriculture. After spending years as a radical PETA activist and anti-animal-agriculture lobbyist—calling livestock farming "horrific" and advocating to shut down animal agriculture—he is now trying to turn around and pretend he represents the interests of local farmers and ranchers. Whether it's pretending to hate big money while shattering fundraising records or trying to represent agriculture after years of attacking it, Manny Rutinel will say whatever it takes to get elected. Colorado voters deserve better than total political opportunism. denvergazette.com/2026/10/16… @MannyRutinel @GabeforColorado @repgabeevans

The Real "Denver Reality Check": How Decades of Progressive Failure Gutted a Premier American City Don’t let the glossy developer spin fool you. When "experts" and real estate insiders gather at a museum to celebrate a staggering 38.6% office vacancy rate and properties selling for a fraction of their value at $5 a square foot, they aren’t describing a “rebirth”—they are describing a city in freefall. Read between the lines of the latest Denver Business Journal report: “Opportunity” vs. Economic Destruction: Calling cratered commercial real estate values and empty high-rises an "opportunity to build vertical parks" is top-tier damage control. What they won't say outright is that toxic Democratic policies, crushing tax burdens, and anti-business mandates have chased legacy employers, taxpayers, and capital completely out of Colorado. The Return-to-Work Reality: When consultants claim return-to-office mandates are a "really bad idea," it’s an admission of defeat. Progressive leadership enabled a work-from-home policy cycle that drained the central business district of its everyday workforce, crippling small businesses, local lunch spots, and service vendors. Safety & Security Slogans: The panel admitted that basic safety and cleanliness remain the core obstacles to getting families and suburbanites back into the urban core. Soft-on-crime legislation and mismanagement of mental health and public safety resources have turned basic city navigation into a risky endeavor. Taxpayer-Funded Bailouts: Rather than allowing free markets to operate and lowering regulatory barriers, local leadership is leaning on hundreds of millions in tax-district funds (DDDA) to artificially prop up commercial centers and buy out declining assets like outdoor malls. The Bottom Line: You cannot regulate, tax, and policy-manage a thriving metro area into collapse and then brand the leftover rubble as a "blank canvas for innovation." If Denver continues down this political path, no amount of $5-a-square-foot vertical parks or PR spin will bring back the vibrant, safe, and economically powerhouse city Colorado used to be.

Jena Griswold is a complete disaster, even the far-left knows it.

Another Broken Promise: How Colorado’s Government Expansion Failed Working Families Do you remember HB22-1295? Passed by Colorado Democrats to overhaul early childhood care and set up a new state department, it was sold to voters as a grand solution to streamline systems and make child care accessible and affordable for everyone. Fast forward to today, and child care in Colorado is more expensive than ever before. The harsh reality facing parents across the state: Staggering Costs: Infant and toddler care in Colorado now averages $20,978 a year—costing more than a full year of in-state tuition at the University of Colorado. Top 5 Nationwide: Colorado now ranks 5th in the nation for the most expensive infant care, forcing the average family with an infant and a 4-year-old to spend nearly a third of their annual income on child care alone. Red Tape & Taxes: Daycare operators report they are barely staying afloat due to mounting regulatory burdens, fees, and soaring property taxes imposed by government policies. System Breakdown: Instead of fixing affordability, high-cost government entitlement schemes continue to inflate demand, drive up middle-class tuition, and trigger funding freezes across major counties. When Democrats promise that creating another state agency will solve market costs, families end up paying the price. Colorado families don't need more failed policies and government bureaucracies—they need real relief. Democrats have made life in Colorado unaffordable. denvergazette.com/2026/10/17…
