Devotional: The power of words to transform and lift us up

By DRAKE HUNTER | Devotional, Rocky Mountain Voice In recent months, we've been surrounded by a clamor of voices from entertainment, religion and politics. While some messages uplift and inspire, many can lead us astray. It’s crucial to remember that words might seem innocent on their own, but when woven together into thoughts, they can dramatically shape our world —- for the better or worse. Words are more than mere symbols; they carry the weight of thoughts that can transform our lives. If we truly seek healthy change, we must embrace God’s thoughts, which are thoughts of love, peace and hope, and can guide us toward a brighter future for all. This is why it’s essential to let impactful words enter our minds and shape our thinking. True transformation happens when we consciously...

Absence of U.S. Rep. Jason Crow from 6th District during campaign has been noticed

By Lindy Browning | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice Laurie Arnold, who lives in Colorado’s 6th U.S. House District, wonders why her current representative, Jason Crow, is spending his time, money and energy campaigning for Democrats in Georgia, North Carolina, Delaware and Pennsylvania, rather than the people in Colorado's 6th District. “Our district is falling apart, it’s crumbling. Jason Crow is so arrogant and he takes the voters for granted. He just assumes that he is going to win, even though he has spent no time in the district listening to the concerns that we have,” Arnold said. John Fabbricatore, the Republican candidate in the 6th District, who is running against Crow, hears Arnold’s concerns loud and clear. “I’ve been talking to people all over the district, Republ...

Data breach on Custer County computers alleged, which could include Dominion voting machines

By George Gramlich | Sangre de Cristo Sentinel Editor's Note: The following story was shared with the Rocky Mountain Voice by the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel. This article is being reprinted with their permission. In an unbelievable turn of events. It has been alleged by multiple sources, that a county employee, allegedly repeatedly hacked into a multitude of county computers, installed sophisticated “mirroring” software on them, and accessed via the spyware and possibly other methods (including flash drives) unknown amounts of confidential and extremely sensitive Custer County data (including emails). It is alleged that this has been going on for years! It is also reported that this employee allegedly accessed our supposedly protected Dominion voting machine! The employee has been ...

Dierenbach: Colorado Congressman Crow and the Afghanistan withdrawal 

To protect the Democratic party, Crow lies, obfuscates and abandons principles  By Karl Dierenbach | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Dutifully following the orders of superiors is a fundamental aspect of being a good soldier.  Dutifully following the orders of party bosses is not an admirable trait in a U.S. representative.  We need our representatives to stand up for their constituents and for what is right.  When their party is wrong, our representatives should call them out, not silently stand by or, worse, actively support the injustice. This brings us to Colorado Congressman Jason Crow.  As a soldier in Afghanistan, Crow served his country, following orders and carrying out assigned missions. He should be thanked for his service.  But b...

Durango band teacher indicted on charges of sexual predator acts

By Jen Schumann, Rocky Mountain Voice On July 23, 2024, a Durango teenager told police that an adult male approached them online. He offered to engage in sexual acts with the 16-year-old.  The Durango Police Department quickly identified the suspect as 28-year-old local Benjamin Smith using information from the minor. After a swift investigation, detectives obtained and executed a search warrant at Smith's home this morning, resulting in his arrest and booking for Sexual Exploitation of a Child on July 25. The Durango Police Department recently posted a press release on the indictment of Escalante Middle School band teacher Benjamin Smith. They also requested public assistance on the ongoing sexual predator investigation. Smith, once a teacher in a position of trust to D...

Campaign spending nears $4M on Prop. 127, Colorado’s ban on hunting cougars, bobcats, and lynx

By Ali Longwell  | Post Independent The two issue committees fighting over the initiative, which seeks to ban the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats and lynx in Colorado, have collectively spent around $3.8 million in the campaign so far. This is based on information filed with the Colorado Secretary of State as of Thursday, Oct. 24. There have been no additional expenditures reported by either group since Oct. 14, with the next filing deadline on Oct. 28.  Cats Aren’t Trophies, the citizen group that petitioned to get Proposition 127 on November’s ballot, has brought in slightly more funding and spent more than Colorado’s Wildlife Deserve Better, the main issue committee opposing the measure.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE POST INDEPENDENT

Wendy’s to close 140 restaurants by the end of the year

By Daniella Genovese  | Fox Business Fast food giant Wendy's is shuttering 140 underperforming locations through the end of 2024 as it looks to improve its "restaurant footprint and overall system health."  To counter the closures, though, the Ohio-based company is working to replace many of these units with "new restaurants at better locations with significantly improved sales and profitability," Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner told analysts on its third quarter earnings call.  The company thoroughly reviewed individual restaurants to ensure they meet sales expectations and are profitable enough to support growth, and said that the locations closing are "outdated and in underperforming areas," with operating margins far below the system average, Tanner said.

Griswold: After years of dehumanizing Trump supporters as deplorables, Democrats’ ‘garbage’ walkbacks ring hollow

By Kylee Griswold, Commentary | The Federalist Democrats’ problem isn’t that their leader just said the quiet part out loud. It’s that they’ve been so loud about their disdain for Trump supporters for so long. It’s been truly remarkable to watch Kamala Harris’ closing unity message get royally derailed by President Joe Biden’s Freudian slip about “garbage” just one week before the 2024 election wraps up. It’s been even more amazing to watch the regime’s foot soldiers lie so vociferously about the statement anyone with working ears could hear clearly on video — amazing because the CYA mission won’t work. After insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe joked about Puerto Rico being a floating pile of trash at a recent Trump rally — among a zillion other indiscriminate zings — Democrats tried u...

Harris campaign twists Trump comment on Liz Cheney to claim he called for her execution

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart CLAIM: Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign implied former President Donald Trump called for Liz Cheney to be put before a firing squad. FACT CHECK: False. Trump’s comments on “guns trained on her face” were about Cheney stoking foreign wars without being willing to fight in their front lines. Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign took former President Donald Trump’s words out of context, to suggest that he was calling for Liz Cheney to be put before a firing squad. Her campaign posted a video of Trump speaking to Tucker Carlson on X/Twitter, with a caption that paraphrased him: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

J.D. Vance and Joe Rogan perfectly deconstruct the ‘radical religion’ of the transgender movement

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist If you’re looking for good analysis breaking down the insanity of the modern “trans” movement, then J.D. Vance’s Thursday interview with podcaster Joe Rogan is the discussion to watch. The GOP vice presidential pick and the comedian covered a lot of topics in their more than three-hour talk. From finding out how Vance was picked to be Donald Trump’s running mate to discussing the first assassination attempt against the former president, the interview provided more in-depth content about the Hillbilly Elegy author’s life and philosophy than corporate media ever could. Among the most notable topics the two men discussed, however, was the “radical religion” of the modern transgender movement. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST...
