Richard Holtorf Jumps Into Colorado GOP Chairmanship Fracas
With a faction of members of the Colorado Republican Party’s central committee set to meet this weekend to vote on whether to oust embattled party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams and his crew of allies in state party leadership–a meeting that the party has declared “illegal” and vowed to ignore the results of–another candidate to replace Williams besides failed GOP U.S. Senate candidate Eli Bremer has emerged. State Rep.
Richard Holtorf, who clashed repeatedly with Williams over the party’s formal endorsement of Lauren Boebert in the CO-04 Republican primary, says he’s the man to pull the party out of its latest terminal nosedive. From a letter Holtorf sent yesterday to central committee members: Great controversy and challenge has fallen upon the Colorado Republican party and as a result the State Central Committee must come together to have serious debate to determine the future of the COGOP’s strategic future… You see fellow Republicans, Colorado is like Baskin Robbins with 32 flavors of ice cream not just one ruby red, far right, Republican flavor. We have extreme disunity and many see these leadership shortcomings damaging the internal fabric of the Colorado Republican Party. (Amarillo Pioneer 3/23/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Oct 13, 2023: 102.5Block: Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Says He’s Received ‘More Than 1,000’ Racist Death Threats From Trump Supporters
It’s a shame the way ex-president and federal fraud defendant Donald Trump keeps getting away with arbitrarily calling the Black prosecutors who have launched investigations into him racist without even providing an argument for why he says they’re racist. It’s a shame that white conservatives--who regularly dismiss Black people’s allegations of anti-Black racism even when they’re presented with tangible evidence--have not bothered to challenge Trump at all on what evidence he has that New York Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg or Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis are “racist” against white people. (Unless Trump is saying they’re specifically racist against horrendously over-tanned, orange-tinted Caucasians, but I doubt that’s the case.)

Mar 20, 2023: Vanity Fair: DONALD TRUMP’S LAWYERS SEEM PRETTY PANICKED HE’S GOING TO BE INDICTED IN GEORGIA TOO
In a court filing, attorneys for Trump demanded the final report from the Fulton County special grand jury that investigated Trump and his allies’ attempt to overthrow the election be suppressed, claiming that the “results of the investigation cannot be relied upon and, therefore, must be suppressed given the constitutional violations.” In addition to arguing that Robert C.I. McBurney, the supervising judge in the case, “failed to protect the most basic procedural and substantive constitutional rights of all individuals discussed,” Trump’s lawyers also claimed that Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis engaged in “instances of forensic misconduct and improper extrajudicial activity,” and should be removed from the case.

Meagan Wolfe Files
“When your constituents challenge you about the integrity of Wisconsin elections, tell them the truth. When people perpetuate false claims about our election systems, push back publicly. Election officials cannot carry the burden of educating the public on elections alone....There is no substitute for my decade-plus of experience in helping run Wisconsin elections at the state level.” --Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe wrote to lawmakers just days before the vote on her reappointment. 6.27.23

April 23, 2023: Rep. Steve Womack released a statement on his support of the House debt limit bill. He said that the bill would promote policies that would boost the economy. “Passing the Limit, Save, Grow Act sends a signal to the American people that my Republican colleagues and I are serious about putting a stop to runaway spending in Washington,” Womack said in the statement. “It responsibly lifts the debt limit to next year, while clawing back on billions of wasted funds to save taxpayer dollars and putting forward pro-growth policies to boost the economy.”
