Evidence (2024-06-25): U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert won Tuesday's Republican primary in a U.S. House race that she jumped into last year, surviving a scandal over a video of her at a Denver theater and accusations of carpetbagging after fleeing what could have been a tough reelection bid in her current district. [...] Boebert built national hard-line conservative stardom that likely made it easier for her to weather the scandals of the last year, which included the video of her vaping and causing a disturbance at a musical production of "Beetlejuice." [...] Kendzior said he voted for Boebert because she shakes things up. "It’s gotten too staid. Same promises, nothing happens," he said. "We need to get rid of the old farts."

Lauren Boebert won Tuesday’s Republican primary in a U.S. House race that she jumped into last year, surviving a scandal over a video of her at a Denver theater and accusations of carpetbagging after fleeing what could have been a tough reelection bid in her current district. Boebert’s resounding win over four other candidates in the new district across the state from where she lived before showcased her political cachet among Republicans and positions her for a likely easy win in the November general election. It was also a victory for the far-right flank of the House GOP, a group that takes no prisoners, makes no concessions and stays on the attack.

Evidence (2023-01-27): An image of a tweet shared on Facebook purports Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert’s net worth is "over $12 million." [...] The Facebook post purports Boebert’s net worth is "over $12 million." "Her previous work experience was as an Assistant Manager at a McDonald’s. Where did she get all this money?" the image of the tweet reads in part. The claim is false. There are no credible news reports suggesting Boebert’s net worth is "over $12 million." Likewise, Boebert’s 2019, 2020, and 2021 financial disclosures filed with the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives do not indicate a net worth matching the purported amount. In addition, Boebert has not publicly commented on the claim via her website or verified social media accounts.

Lauren Boebert also owns an investment portfolio of 10 stocks that is valued at $15 Million."

In the financial disclosure report, her mortgage is listed as between $250,000 to $500,000. [...] According to financial disclosure reports and other documentation, Lauren Boebert does not have a net worth of $41 million. The claim appears to come from a website that also makes a number of other bogus claims about the net worth of other politicians and public figures.

Evidence (2024-06-25): Lauren Boebert’s run for Congress in 2024 is unlike any race she’s run before. [...] Boebert is a Second Amendment absolutist. Where other Republicans in her party have sought to work with Democrats to pass laws banning domestic abusers from owning guns or allowing authorities to restrict the possession of firearms for those flagged to police as a danger to themselves or others, the congresswoman has fought every step of the way against any restriction to gun ownership in the US. [...] Boebert is a staunch opponent of transgender rights and frequently attacks the greater LGBTQ community. In at least one instance, she has accused them of seeking "supremacy" in the United States.

The pro-Trump Republican was supposed to glide to re-election in conservative western Colorado. Instead, she faced a formidable challenge from a middle-of-the-road Democrat, only narrowly winning a recount. [...] It was on the campaign trail - often with a gun visibly holstered to her thigh - that Ms Boebert started to introduce herself. Growing up in Colorado with her Democrat-voting mother, Ms Boebert described a childhood spent in poverty, complete with "humiliating" trips to the grocery store with nothing but food stamps to spend.

Evidence (2023-12-04): When it was learned that Lauren Boebert the gun enthusiast who represents Colorado’s third congressional district was going to address middle and high school students in Dolores, there was angst. Emails to The Journal, the local newspaper, expressed concern that it would be a political event and some parents worried that the congresswoman would be packing a concealed weapon. The fact that parents and media were barred from attending heightened tensions. Fortunately, The Journal was able to force its way in. [...] "Boebert contended that the response to COVID-19 infringed on liberties during the pandemic and told students they should know about those issues and let it motivate them to stand up for their freedom. [...] Like her or loath her, the fact is that Boebert is a very divisive personality. Even though her political support in the county is strong, her opposition is impassioned. The Post speculated this was because, "Boebert has a history of espousing anti-LGBTQ views. She’s called women "weaker" than men, criticized the separation of church and state and made Islamophobic comments implying a colleague in Congress might be a terrorist. Political and religious experts say her Christian nationalist rhetoric presents a danger to the country’s democratic foundations.

Evidence (2022-08-29): With his newfound wealth and prominence, Feucht is making direct inroads in Washington, D.C. When the Dobbs draft decision leaked this spring, Feucht raced to the steps of the Supreme Court, joined by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boehbert in public worship meant to steel the court’s reactionary majority against advocates of reproductive rights. [...] Deepening his connection with leaders on the right, Feucht launched a biweekly Hold the Line podcast, on which he’s hosted MAGA congress members like Lauren Boebert, senators including Missouri’s Josh Hawley, Oath Keeper rocker Ted Nugent, and young reactionary Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA. He’s also appeared onstage with Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and recently sang at a celebration for far-right Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. Feucht has become especially tight with his frequent Instagram companion Boebert, who shares his vision for a religious takeover in Washington. On the Sunday after Roe’s reversal, Boebert told a worship service in Colorado: "I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk. The church is supposed to direct the government." When Boebert won the GOP primary for her district the following Tuesday, Feucht was there too, standing in as the congresswoman’s house band at her praise-filled victory party, where Trump called in to offer personal congratulations.

Evidence (2023-05-25): There’s no question that Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci was brilliant, but he only finished a fraction of the projects he started. Sam Kean argues that the problem was his inability to focus—his own intelligence kept getting in the way. [...] In the early 1500s, Leonardo da Vinci was chatting with friends in a piazza in Florence. They were discussing Dante’s Divine Comedy. Someone asked Leonardo his opinion about one passage. And Leonardo began stroking his long red beard. He was stumped. [...] In 1483, when Leonardo was thirty-one, he applied for a patronage with the Duke of Milan. And his application letter is completely over the top. In it, Leonardo bragged about his expertise with an absurd number of technologies—bridges, dikes, ships, catapults, cannons, canals, covered wagons, and more. He also claimed to sing like a nightingale—and, oh, was the best artist in Europe.

[...] While not quite so famous as his Mona Lisa, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper is one of the most reproduced and discussed works in art history.

Italian professor Ernesto Solari held a press conference in Rome on Wednesday to make a dramatic reveal: an eight-inch by eight-inch tile featuring a figure styled as the Archangel Gabriel.

Claim: Claims that Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci said, "I awoke, only to find that the rest of the world was still asleep." (Viral Quote, 2019-05-31)
Evidence (2024-02-17): This quote, "I awoke, only to see that the rest of the world is still asleep" is a profound statement about awareness, enlightenment, and understanding. In essence, it suggests that the speaker has experienced a kind of awakening, a new level of understanding or insight that others have not yet reached. It implies a sense of isolation, but also a sense of superiority or advancement. [...] The "rest of the world" that is "still asleep" suggests that most people are not yet aware of this insight or understanding. They are "asleep," metaphorically speaking, living their lives without this deeper understanding. This could be because they are ignorant, uninterested, or simply incapable of reaching the same level of understanding. [...] In terms of personal development, this quote could be seen as a reminder to always be open to new ideas and experiences. It suggests that we should not be afraid to challenge our own beliefs and assumptions, and that we should always be striving to grow and improve as individuals. It also reminds us that we should not be discouraged if others do not understand or appreciate our growth. After all, we are "awake," and they are "still asleep.

Evidence (2017-11-22): In an alternative version of the quotation, Leonardo is purported to have said "I have offended God and mankind by doing so little with my life." You can even buy a t-shirt featuring the words. [...] In it, Vasari gives an account of Leonardo spending his final moments in the company of King Francis I of France, one of his primary patrons. Notably, Vasari does not actually attribute the words to Leonardo as a direct quotation. Here's what he says, according to an 1879 edition of the book in the original Italian: [...] Ultimately, we don't know what Leonardo da Vinci's last words were. But we do know that the quotation commonly attributed to him is a modified version of the description of a conversation written 50 years after his death by an unreliable historian.

Evidence (2015-01-10): That night when all others slept, Giovanni, tormented by insomnia, rose and went into the court, where was a stone bench under a tent of vine branches. The court was square, and in its centre was a well; behind the bench was the wall of the house, opposite the stable; to the left a stone wall with a wicket-gate which opened on the street of the Porta Vercellina; to the right the wall of a little garden and a door always locked and leading to a separate building. Here Astro alone was allowed ingress, and here Leonardo was wont to work in complete seclusion. [...] 383 'I know not,' said Leonardo, awaking with an effort from his musing; 'we of this age have not less force than the ancients; only 'tis force of another sort.' [...] Eutychius awoke. He opened the windows, and to him was wafted the fragrance of leaves and grasses washed by rain. The sun had not yet risen, but gold and purple decked the place of his coming—the skyey verge above the woods, and the river, and the fields. The town still slept in twilight; only the belfry of St. Hubert glistened with a pale green light. The hush was full of great expectation. Far away on the sand-banks of the Loire the white swans were calling.
