This is possibly the looniest piece from a major Credentialed Media outlet on what happened in Colorado
Colorado’s insurgent wave proves Democrats want fighters
An anti-establishment avalanche blanketed Colorado on Tuesday night.
Across the Centennial State, the candidates who cast themselves as fighters against the old-line Democratic establishment soared to victory — the clearest proof yet that the base’s fury at their leaders extends far beyond the five boroughs, following insurgents’ major victories in New York City last week.
Colorado democratic socialist Melat Kiros scored a stunning victory over 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), who was first elected before the 29-year-old Kiros was born, while Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser defeated longtime Sen. Michael Bennet, losses for two of the most dominant Democratic figures in the state. Both winners were viewed as longshots just weeks ago, but Kiros and Weiser successfully positioned themselves as the true scrappers while painting their opponents as Washington insiders who were too beholden to the party machine, with little to show for their years in office.
“For decades Democrats have failed to meaningfully deliver for working families,” Kiros said in an interview after the race was called. “We have to root out the corruption and get money out of our politics … It’s not about popular support, it’s about political will — and that means we have to vote out any of the incumbents that are standing in our way by taking that kind of corporate PAC money.” That includes, she added, not supporting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
Funny, because all these DSA wacko are taking lots and lots of money from PAC alternatives.
Kiros lost her job as an attorney after writing an op-ed slamming the backlash against critics of Israel’s government, and she launched her campaign nearly a year ago with an ad portraying herself as a fighter who would deliver change. She painted DeGette, a reliable progressive vote but low-profile member, as someone who wasn’t “fighting back like they should.” In the two-minute ad, Kiros referred to the need for a fighter six times — which she carried over into her victory speech Tuesday night.
Interesting. A little lacking regarding Israel
(Fox) Kiros, a PhD student and lawyer, was fired from a New York firm in 2023 after publishing an open letter, arguing that pro-Palestinian student protesters calling for the elimination of Israel were not antisemitic and appearing to defend Hamas.
She has also described the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks against the Jewish state as the “inevitable consequence of apartheid” and declined to characterize the deadly firebombing of protesters in Boulder last year who were urging the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza as antisemitic.
Kiros has also suggested the United States deserved 9/11.
“Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response,” Kiros told 9News when asked if she thought the terror attack was “the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy.”
DeGette wasn’t exactly moderate, she quickly became a wacko Progressive during her long time in Congress, but, apparently she wasn’t wacko enough in this District, the most liberal in the state. Apparently, the whitest, too
Look at all those AWFLs, and, yeah, I’m including the liberal men in that.
Donny is a kleptomaniacal wannabe tyrant unconstrained by mores, customs, conventions, rules and decency.
The only hope lies with voters. This is why Donny is pulling out all stops to rig the mid-terms.
Recall that he tried to steal the 2020 election.

Anyway, Ms Kiros will be the new Rep from Colorado-1.
Donny made BILLIONS but Bitcoin has lost half its value since Donny got into crypto. Ouch!
BTW, Despite a sizeable number of Americans expressing financial concerns, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) boasted Tuesday of his plans for the 4th.
“Affordability — what are you talking about?” he told reporter Pablo Manríquez on the Capitol steps, when the latter asked him how House Republicans can convince their constituents they are fighting to make life more affordable.
“Over the fourth, I’m going to get me a couple of big lobster tails, I’m going to get me some nice rib-eyes. I’m going to sit in my backyard with my family [and] my neighbors, and we’re going to be enjoying the fourth, celebrating 250 years, the birthday [of America]!”
Nehls chose not to run in 2026 which may explain his stupid comments. His twin brother IS running for the vacated seat. The 22nd is on the outskiirts of Houston but was redisticted to exclude “those” people.
Those ribeyes cost poor people about $20/lb. Lobster tails cost poor folks about $30 ea.
Happy Canada Day!!! The Canadian Confederation occurred July 1, 1867.
Actually she did not say the USA deserved 9/11, she said it was inevitable after giving the most extreme islamists billions of dollars to fight the Russians for us.
Teach always tries to misquote and create “strawman” to attack
Stop doing that! It is a logical fallacy
Why do democrats like Rimjob and johnny boy hate America?
I love my country! I love my life living in the greatest city on the planet.
I pay $212 rent on a great apartment in Parkchester Condominiums (check it out on internet) My last electric bill was $4 after discounts. I get $465 per month in good alotnents each month. . I get paid $5000 for studying philosophy at CUNY for 6months of the year. I am on excellent health, walk 3 miles a day when going to school. I take no prescription drugs . I really do deserve and appreciate people calling me “johnnie boy”
Puppykilla tell us why you love living in my country!
You know, Alias, the United States of America is the greatest nation ever and I too love living here.
I just wish ALL Americans had our good fortune. We haven’t had rent or a house payment for 20 years. The utilities on our little, well-insulated, well-shaded house are slight. Yes, we worked hard for decades, but no harder than most other Americans. At one time we would have been considered “conservative”!! Working, saving, paying taxes, married, children, patriotic… Real conservatives are aghast at what Don has wrought.
We too are in good health and have Medicare and SS.
MAGAts hate what America has become – here non-white, non-straight, non-christian Americans are treated almost as equals. The are sore afraid of losing their “privilege”.
Over the 4th I am going to eat those frozen swordfish cubes I bought at Stop and Shop to use in my presentation for my Oceanography class on Globalization and Sustainability. They are labeled as product of Malaysia. They sold for $8.95
