Trump Welcomes Tina Peters to White House Following Colorado Prison Release

By: Thelma Grimes | The Denver Gazette Since her release from prison, Tina Peters has reemerged on the political circuit — appearing over the weekend at the GOP Freedom Fest in Castle Rock and then visiting the White House on Monday to meet with President Donald Trump. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Peters “just came to the White House to thank me for getting her released from prison in Colorado.” Trump said she had been jailed “because she found Election Fraud” and that authorities targeted her instead of “the people that committed the Fraud.” He said Peters “served two” of a nine-year sentence, spending time in solitary confinement alongside “hardened criminals and murderers.” He asserted that he “got the Republican Party into gear” to secure her release...

Mike Davis changed the Supreme Court. Now he has Colorado officials in his sights.

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice On the morning Tina Peters walked out of a Colorado prison, Mike Davis was already filing paperwork. The referral went to the Department of Justice before the cameras left.  It named four Colorado officials — Mesa County District Judge Matthew Barrett, Attorney General Phil Weiser, Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein, and Secretary of State Jena Griswold — and called on Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon to open a federal criminal investigation into the prosecution that put Peters away. Davis didn't wait for a press cycle. He didn't wait for the right moment. "The message had to land while the cameras were still on, while the story was still live," he told RMV. That's how he...

From peer-review scandal to cultural warning: Dr. James Lindsay comes to Freedom Fest

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice James Lindsay voted for Democrats into his thirties. He will tell you that himself, and he'll tell you exactly why. He knew he disliked George W. Bush. He knew Bush was a Republican. The other side, he figured, must be better. "That was the depth of my political analysis right there," Lindsay said. He means it as a confession, not a punchline. He was, at the time, a mathematician with a PhD from the University of Tennessee, living in Maryville in the foothills of the Smokies, running a business that fused martial arts and massage therapy. Not exactly the profile of someone who would end up warning the European Parliament about the collapse of Western civilization. But that was before a peer reviewer's note about a s...

The election analyst Newt Gingrich trusts has a word for 2020, and it isn’t “stolen”

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Stolen is the wrong word. Seth Keshel says so himself. And Keshel is a retired Army intelligence captain who has spent nearly six years tagged in headlines as an election denier and a conspiracy theorist. Ask him the obvious question—was the 2020 election stolen—and he says no. He says something else. "I don't believe the elections are stolen. I believe that they're rigged," Keshel said. "And that's what Newt Gingrich believes too." Keshel, a former Army captain of military intelligence and Afghanistan veteran, built a second career reading election returns the way he once read a battlefield. His book, The American War on Election Corruption, reached No. 1 in three Amazon categories this spring and carries a foreword by former House ...
