Tina Peters Placed in Solitary as Officials Warn Polis Against Federal Intervention

By: Brian Lupo | The Gateway Pundit In a disturbing update shared on X, the official account for 70-year-old Gold Star mother Tina Peters announced that she has been transferred to solitary confinement in the Colorado prison where she has been held for the past year. According to the post, Peters filed a grievance after a prison teacher allegedly told inmates that Peters “was never going to leave prison” and that the state would “never let her out.” When Peters confronted the teacher in the hallway, the teacher and several inmates reportedly began “antagonizing” her and “ganging up on her verbally.” https://twitter.com/realtinapeters/status/1991721475565343225?s=20 Colorado Officials Urge Gov. Polis to Block Federal Transfer At the suggestion of another inmate, Peters file...

Colorado Accused of Abandoning Constitution in Handling of Tina Peters Case

By Mark Vargas | Commentary, Illinois Review Colorado officials want the public to believe that keeping former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters in prison is justice. But when a woman’s health is collapsing, when she is rapidly declining, and when her continued confinement now poses a direct threat to her life, the law tells a very different story. Colorado is not simply neglecting its responsibility – it is violating its own constitution. Article II, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution states in unmistakable terms: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” While this language mirrors the Eighth Amendment, Colorado’s Supreme Court has long interpreted its own provision more broadly than the federal min...

DOJ Pushes to Move Tina Peters to Federal Custody After Trump Calls for Her Release

By: Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News President Trump has called Peters a "brave and innocent Patriot" after she was convicted in Colorado last year. The Justice Department has requested that the Bureau of Prisons looks into ways to have ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters transferred out of Colorado state prison and into a federal facility following her conviction last year and after President Donald Trump’s calls for her to be freed. The Office of Deputy Attorney General, led by Todd Blanche, the second-in-command to Attorney General Pam Bondi, sent an email Wednesday evening to Bureau of Prisons Director William Marshall, Just the News has learned, calling on the BOP to look into how Peters could be moved from state prison into federal custody. “At the r...

Tina Peters’ attorney presses Governor Polis and Secretary Griswold to eliminate computer voting machines

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Attorney John Case, who represents former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, has sent an open letter to Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Secretary of State Jena Griswold urging the state to immediately discontinue electronic voting systems and return to in-person, hand-counted paper ballots. Case’s letter, dated October 21, outlines a series of concerns about the Dominion voting software used in 60 counties. It cites sworn testimony from two former Venezuelan election insiders who claim Dominion’s systems share code and design elements with Smartmatic software previously used in Venezuela—software the witnesses allege was developed to ensure predetermined outcomes. According to the letter, those sworn statements were part of federal court filings in...

Two doors and an insurance policy: Inside the legal backstops in Tina Peters’ October 16 hearing

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice After more than four years of courtroom battles and appeals, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ fight now hinges on a single federal question: whether Colorado courts violated her constitutional rights by denying her bond pending appeal.  The Oct. 16 motions hearing was part of a broader federal proceeding stemming from Peters’ Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus filed in February. That petition asks the U.S. District Court to determine whether her ongoing detention violates the Constitution. It argues that the state’s denial of bail pending appeal punished Peters for her speech, violated her First and Fourteenth Amendments, and ignored the federal obligations that she says guided her actions as Mesa County Clerk under the Supremacy ...

Space Command exit shows economic cost of political games in Colorado

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Commentary, Captain K’s Corner, Substack $1 billion in economic value is moving to Northern Alabama, and there is plenty more monetary damage to dish out if Colorado wants to keep political prisoners behind bars. Economic impacts can slice like double-edged swords. Everyone who voted for President Trump last year did so knowing tariffs could cause short-term pain to some of his own voters while simultaneously strengthening an America-first economic outlook. Likewise, one state getting richer in an industry’s move across state lines means another state is getting poorer, impacting not only employees, but those engaging in peripheral business or adjacent industries. We’ve seen this over and over in the culture war with gun and ammo dealers relocating from blue to...

Colorado justice didn’t decide Tina Peters’ fate, it was the deep state

By Martel Maxim | JoeHoft.com There’s nothing more disgusting than a ‘Dirty Cop’ operating under the ‘Color of Law’, and the Deep State employs many of them.  The same goes for anyone elected or appointed into a position of power who secretly functions as a ‘Dirty Cop’, as they are betraying the people they are supposed to be serving. In Colorado, a Mafia-esque infiltration of criminals have largely taken over the government.  They hide behind a curtain of virtue, while destroying the beams that structurally support Colorado justice.  Their mission in Colorado is to portray the machine-based election system as a “Gold Standard” suitable for the nation, while they deceptively serve as the epicenter of manipulation for stealing the will of the people.  Their weapon ...
