Former Mesa County Clerk and Gold Star Mother, Tina Peters, is sitting in prison right now for preserving her own election records following the 2020 election before Dominion Voting Systems and Colorado Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, could come in and erase them. Peters was following state and federal law to preserve those records, while Dominion and SOS Griswold are more likely the criminals unlawfully erasing them. This persecution of the innocent and promotion of criminality was a hallmark of the Biden era. Trump’s DOJ has filed a statement of interest in Peter’s case, and President Trump himself has called...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: President Trump directs the DOJ to free Gold Star mother Tina Peters from Colorado prison. 7:35 PM · May 5, 2025

Tina Peters was once the Clerk and Recorder of Mesa County, Colorado, and was in charge of county elections. Now she is serving a nine-year term in a Colorado prison. Her crime? She identified the unauthorized destruction of voter information that took place in two consecutive county elections: the November 2020 election and a local election held in early 2021. In each case, there is irrefutable evidence showing that the election database had been removed and subsequently reinstalled, minus information needed to identify the voter intent of thousands of ballots. Peters, who is a matronly gold star mother, was concerned...

In yet another blatant display of political persecution, former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters, 68—a gold star mother—was sentenced to 9 years in prison in early October. In August, Peters was found guilty on seven of ten charges for preserving critical election data. After bravely raising questions about election irregularities, Peters was relentlessly pursued by local and federal authorities, culminating in charges that were politically motivated from the outset. Peters’ crime? Exposing the truth about what happened in the 2020 election. As a last act before entering prison as the result of a political prosecution, Peters publicly released the...

Thousands of ballots that have already been cast in Mesa County, Colorado are being examined for evidence of fraud after election officials identified at least a dozen fraudulent ballots. On Thursday, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced in a press conference Thursday that a criminal voter fraud probe was being opened in the county. “It appears that as of now approximately a dozen voters in Mesa County had their ballots intercepted before they arrived to them and cast without their knowledge,” she said. The fraud was discovered when election workers were going through the signature verification process. Staffers compared...

Q: What are your thoughts about the guilty verdicts? A: It’s an interesting verdict. As we were going through the trial, we saw that the prosecution would not let us in with any of our affirmative defenses. Much excluded evidence was kept from the jury. For instance, the codemonkeyz video that they kept talking about — that was so “damning” — they never would let the jury see it. If they would have seen it, they would have seen there were no passwords in there. Speaking to the passwords, when I took that video, it was because Conan (Hayes) was...

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — The former elections manager for Mesa County told jurors Wednesday about Tina Peters’ possible malfeasances after the 2020 election. Sandra Brown said she was suspicious of the former Mesa County clerk and recorder two days before the trusted build, a planned software update on Dominion Voting Systems machines, on May 25, 2021. She was brought in to meet with who she believed was the new administrative assistant for the Department of Motor Vehicles, Gerald Wood — a software engineer. The man who Peters introduced to her as Wood wasn’t him but, in fact, Conan Hayes,...

Hillary Clinton criticized Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi hero, Sean Smith arguing that she “may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.” In an interview on on “Fox News Sunday,” a clip of Smith’s speech at the Republican National Convention was played where she said that Clinton “looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible” for the attack in Benghazi. Clinton replied, “I don’t hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.” Smith has been an advocate for her son...

This letter is a call to action to the silent majority in America. It is a dangerous time in the history of our country and we can no longer quietly sit back on our apathetic rears and hope that someone else will speak for us, or that someone else will make a difference. Many Americans have listened to the lies of the liberal media and have adopted a defeated attitude that they can’t make a difference. I just completed a “These Colors Don’t Run” tour with Move America Forward that conducted rallies in 25 cities across America and ended in...

It was a unanimous decision. We finally decided to respond to the events that are taking place “down below”. We especially want to respond to that mother, Mrs. Sheehan, but our message is also meant for many more, the media, columnists like Cohen, Dowd, Krugman, and other left-wingers. Let me explain. Oh….before I do, I’m sorry, but you should know who “We” are. “We”, “Up Here”, are “Gold Star Mothers”. Tens and tens and tens of thousands, most of us, from the WW2 period and also from the Korean war , the Vietnam war and a few from the Desert...

Is anybody out there? I am very frustrated. My son, Capt. Derek Argel went down in Iraq on Memorial Day of this year. I learned about the "Veteran's for Peace" memorials called Arlington West when I was at my son's memorial at the real Arlington on August 11. There are less than 400 men who do his job in Elite Forces in the Air Force. There are less than 70 officers. Now there are 68. I am sick that my son's name has been used against the family wishes at these anti-war memorials. I, like other families have had a...
