🦡 Honey Badger Report: I’m Back, Folks

Well, well, well… look who finally crawled out from under a mountain of work. Yes, it’s me. And yes, the Honey Badger Report is finally here.

First off, a big thank-you to everyone who emailed, texted, and practically sent out a search party wondering what had happened to me. You’d think I’d been abducted by the COGOP and locked in a backroom with the Coup Crew. Thankfully, no, the only thing that happened was this little thing called real life.

The past 90 days have been an absolute whirlwind. Between wrapping up a major project and hitting the September–October crescendo, my time disappeared faster than conservative voices at the Colorado GOP State Central Committee Meeting. Publishing took a back seat, not because I stopped caring, but because my calendar looked like a game of Tetris designed by a sadist.

The good news? That frantic stretch is behind me. I’ve got a bit more breathing room now, and starting in January, I’ll have a lot more time to focus on projects like this one. Translation: expect the Honey Badger to come charging out of the gate with teeth bared.

So thank you for your patience, your persistence, and yes, your wonderfully sarcastic “Where’s the report?” notes. I appreciate every one of them. I hope you enjoy the October edition of the Honey Badger Report, and I promise, we’re just getting warmed up.

Stay bold and remember, Honey Badgers don’t quit.

Brita Horn’s Titanic Leadership

Full Speed Toward the Iceberg

Well, if you were lucky enough to attend the Colorado GOP State Central Committee (SCC) meeting a week ago, congratulations, you saw a masterclass in how to steer a political party straight into the side of an iceberg and sink it. The Colorado GOP’s ship didn’t just hit rough waters under Chairwoman Brita Horn’s “leadership” (mostly the lack thereof)… it began taking on water the moment she couldn’t clearly handle the all-gender bathroom debacle. Nothing says Unity like men and women using the same restroom at a Republican event. I had no idea this was Brita’s plan for unity… well done, Brita.

From the start, the meeting resembled a poor community theater performance. Brita couldn’t start the meeting smoothly, couldn’t control the room, and the struggling parliamentarian looked like a man who mistakenly bought a one-way ticket on the Titanic and found himself on a lower deck when the iceberg hit. What should have been a focused, decisive session quickly turned into lengthy monologues from Ross Andrews and Richard Holtorf, ending with Brita Horn’s signature: a long, wandering, grievance-filled speech that somehow managed to be both self-pitying and condescending.

Brita spent a good chunk of time lamenting how “hard” her job is because the entire GOP body is not supporting her. No, Brita, the problem isn’t a lack of support. The problem is that you don’t have the faintest clue how to lead, and it shows.

The Meeting That Proved the Chair Has No Grip

After the pity party came the real clown show. A simple, standard procedural motion to move old business in front of new business (that is, the usual way to do it) turned into a nearly hour-long spectacle. Why? Because Brita couldn’t command the room. She couldn’t lead. She turned what should’ve been a 60-second motion into a parliamentary hostage situation. If the agenda had been done properly before the meeting, this would not have happened; again, incompetence.

Then came the votes, or whatever grade-school version of “voting” her team came up with. There were no ballots. No proper credentials verification. Just awkward “head counts” that would embarrass a third-grade student council. People with proxies were pushed to the front, those without were told to step back. I have zero faith in that methodology, and it's not the counters' fault; it's the incompetent ringmaster who directed the show. No one knows whether the counts were correct, and honestly, no one trusts them.

And let's not forget the meeting's grand finale, or the lack of one. With 15 minutes remaining, we find out the room is only booked until 2 PM, a detail Brita "forgot" to share until the cops arrived to force us out. Business unfinished, no adjournment, no closing gavel. Is the meeting still ongoing? Who knows, maybe we're all technically in session right now, waiting for Brita to figure out how to end it. 

We Opted Out. Brita Horn Refuses to Lead.

Let’s get one thing straight. The Colorado GOP voted to opt out of the disastrous semi-open primary. Period.

In April 2024, over 2,000 delegates at the State Convention voted overwhelmingly, more than 90%, to direct the party to opt out. That’s not just a majority. That’s a tidal wave.

Brita, in her infinite wisdom (or is it infinite arrogance?), has decided to play pretend. She's refusing to carry out the will of the governing body, writing deceitful letters to the Secretary of State, falsely claiming the vote didn't count because it needed 75% or some other twisted interpretation. Newsflash, Brita: It was a certification of the assembly's directive, not a fresh opt-out; it required a simple majority, which we crushed. She's now fighting her own previous rulings, her own words on the record, like an evil magician trying to make the rabbit disappear after everyone's seen the trick. Stubbornly defiant? Check. Obnoxiously dismissive? Double check. And now, she's got her puppet strings tangled in lawsuits, with grassroots warriors like Cody LeBlanc stepping up to force her to do her "ministerial duty" through the courts.

Follow the Money - Follow the Motives.

Why is Brita Horn fighting so hard to keep the semi-open primary? Follow the money.

Big donors (think AFP, among others) love open primaries because they let them handpick their preferred milquetoast candidates while grassroots Republicans are sidelined. Since Democrats forced this system on us in 2016, the Colorado GOP hasn’t won a single statewide race. Not one. But Brita is too busy conferring with her handlers to fight the real enemy.

Bottom Line

My fellow conservatives, we did opt out. The vote passed under her watch, and now she's the one doing the Establishment’s dirty work by refusing to implement it. It's time to call this what it is: a betrayal. Brita isn't a chair; she's a puppet. And if she truly believed in unity, she'd do the right thing, step away, and let real leaders pull us together. Until then, I will fight her every step, because Colorado deserves better than this dumpster fire.

Bought Signatures, Sold Principles:

Colorado’s Elected Officials

Oh, buckle up, fellow Colorado patriots, because if you thought my take on the clown show at the Colorado GOP's State Central Committee meeting was bad, the sequel here has cranked the absurdity to eleven. This past meeting gave us a crystal-clear view of who our so-called "representatives" really serve: themselves, their deep-pocket donors, and the Establishment Party machine that's been turning our primaries into a free-for-all for unaffiliated meddlers since 2016. And if you're one of the grassroots warriors in this state, you know exactly what I'm talking about: the spineless elected officials who voted against upholding the overwhelming will of the 2024 GOP State Assembly in Pueblo, where over 90% demanded we Opt Out of this semi-open primary disaster.

Let's dig deeper, shall we? My phone hasn't stopped ringing since 2:01pm when the SCC meeting ended. Most patriots are outraged at how these elected elites cast their votes, and rightly so. A majority of them (elected officials), though not all, mind you, but enough to make your blood boil, refused to certify the 2024 assembly directive. Why? Simple: self-preservation wrapped in hypocrisy. These folks don't want the hassle of caucusing and assembling like the rest of us peasants. No, they'd rather petition their way onto the ballot, waving stacks of signatures bought and paid for by big establishment sponsors. "Look at me, I have the people's support!" they crow, as if we don't know every one of those signatures came from paid petitioners loitering outside stores like King Soopers or City Market. A token appearance here, a photo op there, please, spare us the theatrics. It's all a sham to bypass the actual Republicans who show up, debate, and select candidates that truly represent us, not some shadowy donor class pulling strings from the shadows.

Take the vote tally from that chaotic scene: 226 in favor of following the assembly's opt-out resolution, 196 against, out of a 507-member committee. Supporters like Mineral County GOP Chair Eric Grossman are rightly claiming victory, insisting the body has spoken and it's time to remove the unaffiliated meddlers who dilute our voice. But the naysayers, led by Brita Horn and the Colorado GOP, are hiding behind that 75% threshold nonsense, pretending it didn't pass because it was "just" a ratification.

And don't get me started on our congressional delegation, state representatives, and county officials who sided against the Opt-Out. They're the same ones who've watched Republicans get trounced statewide since this semi-open farce began, with zero statewide wins to show for it. Why fight to keep it open? Follow the money, as always. These elites love a system where dark-money PACs can flood the field, buy signatures, and influence outcomes while ignoring the base. They whine about "disenfranchising" unaffiliated voters, oh, the horror! These folks could just register as Republicans if they cared enough. Most couldn't even name their own state and county officials if you gave them the first syllable. This setup just sustains the dysfunction: weak candidates beholden to donors instead of constituents, leading to more losses and more excuses.

I'm not thrilled about this, folks, I know, shocker, but I saw it coming from a mile away. The unofficial vote for elected officials is below. It's as accurate as we can get without Chairwoman Horn releasing the official count, which has about as much chance as a snowball in Hell. These people shouldn't have a say in matters like this, period. They're conflicted up to their eyeballs, and recusing themselves should be the minimum requirement. But no, they waltz in and vote to protect their easy path to power. It's like letting the fox decide on henhouse security upgrades.

So, what now? Campaign season is heating up, and it's the perfect time to challenge candidates at town halls, meetings, and coffee shops. Ask them directly: "Why did you vote to keep our Republican primary open to Democrats and independents when the Colorado GOP main body overwhelmingly voted to close it?" Watch their excuses, changing topics, and platitudes about "unity" or "inclusivity." Don't fall for it. One-on-one conversations? Useless; these egos only move when we unite and confront them together. We need to band together as a group, vote them out en masse, and show that we're fed up with subpar representation that serves their check-writers, not the citizens who naively marked their ballots.

If we let this slide, the Colorado GOP remains a losing proposition: divided, diluted, and controlled by the very elites who caused this mess. We need to remove them! Reclaim our primaries for true Republicans! That's the way to win back the state. Until then, these self-serving officials are just dead weight; it’s time to cut the rope and let them sink.

Welcome to the Republican Hunger Games

The 2026 GOP Governor’s Race

Well, Colorado patriots… grab your popcorn. Yet another brave soul has jumped into the already overcrowded political mosh pit we call the Colorado Republican primary for governor. Say hello to Victor Marx, yes, that Victor Marx, the guy with business chops and the apparent appetite for political masochism, has tossed his hat into the ring. That makes it contestant number 19; can we make it 20? Apparently, there are 39 total candidates (last count 2 minutes ago) running for governor in 2026, including Democrats and others. It's like every ambitious conservative with a pulse and a printer decided to file paperwork just to see if they could outdo the Democrats in sheer volume of delusion. This isn’t a race; it’s a Costco sample line for egos.

Now, before we all get too giddy about the “diversity” of choices, let’s look at the one metric that actually matters early on: cash on hand. Because while political consultants love to say “it’s about ideas,” in Colorado, where the political landscape is as blue as the summer sky, it’s really about who can afford to stay in the game longer than two news cycles.

Follow the Money (Or Lack Thereof)

Let's cut through the fluff and focus on real money, because in politics, that's the true test of viability, isn't it? Recent filings (see chart below) show a few kinda standouts that scream, "I might actually survive the first debate without begging for gas money." Victor Marx, fresh off his entry a few days ago, is already poised to rake in serious cash, think seven-figure sums from donors who remember his track record in the private sector, not to mention his ties to conservative circles that could fund a small army. But then we look at the rest of the pack, and it's a parade of paupers. Some of these folks have cash that wouldn't cover a decent steak dinner at Del Frisco’s, let alone a statewide ad buy. Why are they still in? Ego? A misguided belief in fairy-tale upsets? Sure, we've all heard those inspiring stories of underdogs winning races on tiny budgets—remember that guy who rode a viral YouTube rant to victory for under $500? But this is Colorado, folks, where the left has turned our once-red strongholds into progressive playgrounds faster than you can say "legal weed." In a state overflowing with blue like the depths of Grand Lake, money isn't just helpful, it's oxygen. Without it, you're just gasping.

Victor Marx Enters the Arena

Marx’s entry is already stirring rumors that make Colorado politics resemble a middle school lunchroom. One particularly juicy piece of gossip is that he’s getting close to former failed candidate Heidi Ganahl and her Rocky Mountain Voice apparatus. I saw that in several chat rooms, but who knows, online politics is 90% smoke and mirrors, and the other 10% is outright lies (or is it 10% smoke and mirrors, and the other 90% is outright lies?) It's strange to see a fresh face like Marx paired with a washed-up, failed gubernatorial candidate who lost by 20 points. I haven't talked to the Marx myself (yet), but I plan to invite him to speak at Parker Conservatives after the new year. Then there’s the truly wild theory: Marx was brought in as a spoiler to hurt Scott Bottoms and help Barbara Kirkmeyer. Is that plausible? Not really. Is it impossible? Also, not really. This is Colorado Republican politics, we’ve seen alliances here twist faster than a pretzel at Oktoberfest.

Scanning this bloated field, I don't spot a single runaway favorite who could steamroll the primary and then body-slam the Democrats in November 26. Time will tell, as it always does in this wacky game.

Too Many Candidates, Too Few Contenders

Flipping back to those July 15 cash-on-hand numbers (because why not rub salt in the wound?), 80% of these Republicans should bow out now and spare themselves the public humiliation of a campaign that never lifts off. Picture it: door-knocking with a budget that maxes out at bumper stickers and grandma's cookie recipe. Good luck to you if you're sticking around, but let's not kid ourselves, alliances are already shifting like sand in the Great Sand Dunes. I've seen die-hard Bottoms backers flip to Marx overnight. It's chaos, pure and simple, and with this many egos in play, you can't hide your true colors for long.

Secretary of State: The Underrated Power Move

Here's a wild idea if you're a solid conservative polling in the single digits and staring down primary oblivion, why not pivot? Reevaluate, dust off your resume, and eye the Secretary of State race instead. We've got a mess of elections here that need cleaning up, think voter rolls bloated like a post-Thanksgiving turkey meal, and irregularities that make you question if we're running a democracy or a raffle. A good Republican in that office could wield more real influence than a governor handcuffed by a left-leaning legislature. Fixing the system from the inside might actually save us.

Petition, Caucus, or Troll Your Way In?

Finally, we need to talk about ballot access. Every candidate needs to answer one simple question: “How are you getting on the primary ballot?”

• Are you going to petition only, like the establishment dark-money darlings who prefer to slink onto the ballot without ever facing Republicans at caucus and assembly?
• Are you doing the hybrid, gathering signatures and going through assembly?
• Or are you actually going to face the caucus and assembly process head-on as a true warrior?

Let me be VERY clear, skipping the assembly is a form of political cowardice. It’s the choice of those who prefer to buy their way in rather than earn it. If you can’t stand before real Republican delegates and make your case, you don’t deserve to be on the ballot, and you certainly don’t deserve our vote. Period.

Colorado conservatives, buckle up. The next few months are going to be messy, dramatic, and wildly entertaining. And trust me, I’ll have plenty to write about.

Hey DC! Pass Senate Bill 1151

Let Self-Deportation Do the Heavy Lifting

With President Trump back in the White House, slamming the gates shut on the endless parade of uninvited guests, you'd think we'd be seeing fewer illegal aliens standing in front of Home Depot in the mornings. But no, we're still knee-deep in the aftermath of Joe Biden's four-year fiesta of open borders. The era where "border security" meant Democrat photo ops pretending to care while millions waltzed in, courtesy of catch-and-release on steroids and progressive-funded NGO’s. Fentanyl flooding our streets, gangs setting up shop in Aurora, and our workforce bloated with unauthorized labor, undercutting every honest Coloradan. Trump has closed the spigot, but the floodwaters are not receding. Enter Senate Bill 1151, the Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act. This isn't just a bill; it's the mop we need to clean up Biden's mess.

Senate Bill 1151, championed by solid DC Republicans like Chuck Grassley, Tommy Tuberville, Mike Lee, and Ted Cruz, targets the root of the rot: jobs. It mandates E-Verify for every business in America, no ifs, ands, or buts. One year post-enactment, every employer, from ski resorts in Vail to feedlots in Weld County, must verify new hires. Federal contractors and critical infrastructure comply immediately! E-Verify cross-references Social Security and DHS data to spot fakes, and this bill makes it permanent, no more expiration dates. Ignore the law if passed, enjoy civil fines up to $25,000 per offence, debarment from government contracts, and criminal penalties that could land you behind bars for a decade. Keep an unauthorized worker after being flagged? Bad news, fire them, report to ICE, or face the music. Baked into the bill are programs to help small rural areas so they can get on board without a headache.

But here's why this bill is genius in the Trump era: it's not about chasing down every last illegal immigrant through ICE and Border Patrol. No, S.1151 starves the beast by yanking the job magnet. With borders sealed under Trump, the influx has slowed to a trickle, but we're stuck with Biden's legacy, estimates of 10-20 as high as 40-60 million unauthorized illegals already here, many lured by easy employment during his open-door debacle. Make E-Verify compulsory, and poof: self-deportation kicks in. No jobs mean no reason to stick around. They'll pack up and head home on their own dime, easing the burden on our overworked ICE agents and Border Patrol heroes. These folks have been stretched thin mopping up this mess; this bill bolsters them by reducing the masses, letting them focus on cartel thugs, traffickers, and serious threats. In Colorado, where our economy hinges on ag, energy, and tourism, this means reclaiming wages for locals US citizens, not subsidizing exploitation.

Oh, but cue the wailing from the anti-E-Verify brigade, the same bleeding hearts and corporate cronies who enabled Biden's illegal immigration boondoggle. These sanctimonious types, sobbing about "discrimination" and "business burdens," as if verifying legal status is akin to waterboarding. Please. If you're against mandatory checks, you're essentially a cheerleader for the chaos, happy to let wages plummet while virtue-signaling from your gated communities. Liberals like the ACLU, whining about privacy? Hilarious, coming from folks who ignore the real victims: Americans whose identities get stolen by fraudsters gaming the system. And don't get me started on the elected officials fighting this tooth and nail, they're not pro-immigrant; they're pro-profit at any cost for their overlords, even if it means turning Colorado into a low-wage dystopia. These hypocrites cheered amnesty, pretending mass migration doesn't overwhelm our schools or hospitals. Now, with Trump restoring order, they're scrambling to protect their cheap labor pipeline. Newsflash, you enablers: Opposing S.1151 isn't compassionate; it's complicit in the aftermath, sacrificing American jobs for your feel-good farce.

I always want to give credit where credit is due, thanks to Congressman Gabe Evans of CD8 for inspiring this article with his Dignity Act. And Douglas County CD4 representative, Lauren Boebert, quote, “Build the wall, deport them ALL!”

Colorado Teachers' Union's Sticky Fingers in DougCo

Oh, look at that, the benevolent overlords of Colorado's education system are at it again, swooping in like caped crusaders to "save" the kids of Douglas County. Except, of course, their capes are woven from union dues siphoned straight out of hardworking teachers' pockets, and their idea of salvation involves flooding the school board election with cash to prop up Democrat candidates. Because nothing screams "putting children first" like turning a conservative stronghold into a progressive playground of sewage, right? If you're a parent in DougCo, buckle up: the Colorado Education Association and their Denver cronies are treating your school board race like it's buying lottery tickets in bulk.

Let's get the facts straight, shall we? Douglas County, that stronghold of sensible suburbia where families flee Denver and Boulder’s chaos for good schools and low nonsense, has long been a thorn in the side of Big Union. Remember back in 2009 when the DougCo school board had the audacity to decertify the teachers' union, freeing up the district to focus on actual education instead of collective bargaining boondoggles? Yeah, the unions never forgave that. Fast-forward to this 2025 election, and here they come, wallets wide open. According to recent reports and endorsements, the teachers' unions, backed by the Douglas County Democratic Party and even Planned Parenthood, because why not mix sex-ed extremism into your math class? Are pouring money into candidates who'll flip the board blue. One standout? A licensed social worker running as a "sex positive kink ally therapist." Oh, perfect, because what every school needs is a board member advocating for "kink awareness" in the curriculum. I'm sure that's exactly what boosts those reading scores.

And the money? It's not pocket change. Teachers' unions in Colorado have a habit of dropping millions statewide, with over 98% of their campaign contributions funneled to Democrats in recent cycles. In DougCo specifically, union-backed slates like the so-called "pro-public education" candidates (code for "pro-union control") are getting the cash injections to outspend conservatives. Just look at past cycles: in 2021, union spending skyrocketed in districts like Douglas, turning elections into auctions where the highest bidder wins veto power over your kid's classroom. This year, it's the same playbook, endorsements from the Denver Classroom Teachers Association and CEA allies, dark money flowing through shadowy groups, all to install board members who'll prioritize pronoun patrols and equity experiments over, you know, teaching kids to read.

But hey, who are we to question the wisdom of these union fat cats? After all, they've done such a bang-up job in Denver, where schools are closing left and right, test scores are in the toilet, and the board's more focused on virtue-signaling than victories. Now they want to export that success to DougCo, because misery loves company. Sarcasm aside (okay, not really), this is a blatant power grab: unions aren't funding these races out of the goodness of their hearts; they're buying influence to ram through policies that keep teachers trapped in failing systems, parents sidelined, and kids indoctrinated. It's money laundering disguised as advocacy, take dues from moderate teachers, launder it through the union machine, and spit it out as Democrat donations.

Conservatives of Douglas County, this is your wake-up call. Don't let these union puppeteers turn Douglas County into another Denver disaster zone. Fight for actual parental rights and academic excellence, not kink therapy sessions. Get out there, spread the word, and remind these unions that DougCo isn't for sale. Because if we lose this one, the only lesson our kids will learn is how to spell "indoctrination."

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis."

Oh, Joy! The Government Shutdown

Has the Media Melting Down

Ah, yes, another glorious day in the People's Republic of D.C., where the federal government has graciously decided to hit the pause button on its endless money-printing spree. And wouldn't you know it, the mainstream media is out there wailing about the impending apocalypse as if the sky is falling because some pencil-pushers in Washington can't clock in for their daily dose of bureaucratic busywork. "Disaster!" they scream. "Catastrophe!" they howl. "The end of civilization as we know it!" Please. Spare me the theatrics. If anything, this shutdown is the best thing to happen to America since Trump first descended that golden escalator back in 2015. It's a win for We the People, a masterclass in fiscal sanity, and a hilarious reminder that the bloated beast we call the federal government isn't nearly as "essential" as the elites pretend.

The media would have you believe that without every last federal agency humming along like a well-oiled machine of waste, the entire country will grind to a halt. Airports will close! National parks will vanish into thin air! Grandma's Social Security check will evaporate! Oh, the humanity! But here's a fun fact from history's dusty pages: We've had over 20 government shutdowns since the 1970s, including that epic 35-day standoff in 2018-2019 under Trump himself. And guess what? The world didn't end. The economy didn't implode. In fact, during that one, the stock market actually ticked up, and unemployment stayed low. Shocking, I know. It's almost as if proving that 800,000 "non-essential" federal employees can stay home without Armageddon.

Think about it, this shutdown is Trump's way of saying, "Enough with the endless spending orgy." Remember how the feds blew through trillions on "COVID relief" that funded everything from gender studies in Pakistan to murals in San Francisco? Or how they're still pouring billions into green energy boondoggles that leave our grid as reliable as a solar panel in a blizzard? A shutdown forces these swamp creatures to prioritize, like, oh, I don't know, securing the border instead of subsidizing healthcare for illegal aliens. It's Trump drawing a line in the sand, refusing to sign off on yet another omnibus bill stuffed with pork for every special interest under the sun. And the Democrats? They're the ones holding it hostage, demanding more cash for their pet projects while pretending to care about "working families." Give me a break. If they really wanted to avoid this, they'd negotiate like adults instead of throwing tantrums on CNN.

But no, the legacy media, those self-appointed guardians of truth who couldn't spot bias if it slapped them with a fact-check, are in full meltdown. MSNBC anchors are probably hyperventilating right now, comparing this to the fall of Rome, while The New York Times runs op-eds about how Trump's "cruelty" is starving the poor. Cruelty? Try liberation. For once, the government isn't micromanaging every aspect of our lives. No new regulations strangling small businesses. No fresh edicts from unelected bureaucrats in the EPA telling you how to water your lawn. It's a breath of fresh air, folks. And for Trump? This is pure gold. It cements him as the fighter we elected, the guy who stares down the establishment and wins.

So, to my fellow grassroots warriors here in Colorado: Embrace the shutdown. It's not a disaster; it's a detox. A chance for America to remember that We the People don't need Big Brother's permission to thrive. Trump's got our back, slashing the fat while the media shrieks in horror. And if the talking heads keep predicting doom that never comes, well, maybe we'll all realize they're the real non-essentials. What a beautiful day that would be.

"No dream is too big. No challenge is too great.

Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach."

 

Donald Trump 45/47

I am very excited to announce the full launch of

“We the People Network”!

www.wtpnetwork.net

Quality Grassroots Conservative News and Opinion:

Where you want it, when you want it.

What is "We The People Network" all about? This is where the Real Grassroots Conservative Patriots roast Libtards and RINO’s!

Hey there, freedom lovers and truth seekers! You've stumbled upon "We the People Network," the digital campfire around which the true grassroots conservatives of Parker, Douglas County, Colorado, and our great Nation gather to warm their hands to the flames of liberty.

Are you tired of the same old song and dance from the UniParty and establishment media, where the story never changes, and the tune is always "more of the same"? Well, pull up your folding chair because we're here to change that up with some good old-fashioned grassroots conservative passion!

Here at "We the People Network," we're not just conservative, we're grassroots conservatively “conservative.” We believe in calling out the Left and just as much the UniParty, Establishment Republicans, and those pesky RINO’s faster than you can say "taxation is theft."

What's on the menu, you ask? A hearty helping of news, opinion, and a side of sarcasm, all served fresh. We're serving up stories that the mainstream media wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole unless, of course, they could use it to prop up their narratives.

Our mission? To embolden you, the backbone of America, with the truth bombs that'll make you the most interesting person at any gathering or, more importantly, at the voting booth. We're here also to support those brave souls running for Republican office who actually remember what the Constitution looks like.

Think of us as your one-stop shop for:

• News: The kind that doesn't make you feel like you're being sold swampland in Washington, DC.
• Opinion: Rants with the sharpness of a skilled surgeon.
• Activism: Because shouting at your TV only does so much.

Think of us like Turning Point’s rowdy older uncle, who shows up to the family reunion in his pick-up, 12 pack under his arm, a cigar, holding a megaphone. We're here to amplify the grassroots conservative voice, ensuring that "We the People" isn't just a catchy preamble but a living, breathing movement.

So, if you're ready to join the ranks of the informed, the irked, and the outright indignant, welcome aboard. Let's expose some Leftist Progressives, UniParty, Establishment Republicans, RINOs, and those new Trans-Republicans, and support our fellow patriots, and maybe, just maybe, save the republic one click at a time.



 "Everybody has an opportunity in America. I don’t care if guys whine and complain about this or that. You know, no country affords its inhabitants the opportunities

that the U.S.A. gives to its people.”

Bobby Knight

So, a question you might have is, “Why Honey Badger”?



Honey Badgers have been described in the Guinness Book of Records as the "most fearless animal in the world" and can even fight off much larger predators like lions and hyenas if challenged. We know the political landscape is filled with hyenas, thus, we need the Honey Badger.

"You may think that I'm a confrontational jerk, and you may be right. But the confrontational jerk community serves an important purpose. No cultural battle can be won or has ever been won anywhere in the world without us.

You need us, whether you like it or not."

Matt Walsh

RINO Watch Colorado

Mission Statement

RINO Watch Colorado is the voice of grassroots Republicans, and the one-stop resource for news, editorials, websites and podcasts that cut through the Establishment and liberal spin.

We expose RINOs and support grassroots Patriots. We are a collective of grassroots activists.

A RINO is a Republican In Name Only.  Someone who claims to be Republican but whose actions show they have abandoned GOP principles.  RINOs often work in tandem with Democrats to destroy grassroots Republicans.
