Poff: ‘The ‘single woke female’ election

By  Jeremiah Poff, Commentary | Washington Examiner To the Democratic Party and the future political prospects of Vice President Kamala Harris, there is no constituency more important than single women. When it comes to relationship status, no factor is more of a predictor that a woman will vote for the Democratic Party than that she is single. On the flip side, no factor is more of a predictor for a woman voting for the Republican Party than that she is married. According to data from the Pew Research Center, 50% of married women are registered Republicans, while 45% are registered Democrats. But 72% of never-married women are registered Democrats, while a meager 24% are registered Republicans. By contrast, the partisan split among men is muc...

Ex-Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, partner arrested in twisted scheme to sexually exploit male models

By  Emily Crane, Georgett Roberts and Priscilla DeGregory | New York Post Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, his male partner and a middleman preyed on and horrifically abused more than a dozen young aspiring male models as part of a twisted sex-trafficking and prostitution ring, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. Jeffries, 80, allegedly wielded his “power, wealth and his influence” to traffic scores of men for his own sexual pleasure for nearly a decade — often dangling the promise of modeling careers in their faces, according to the feds. The disgraced fashion boss — who infamously had shirtless young male lifeguards and models parading outside Abercrombie stores and events during his time at the helm of the company — worked the depraved trafficking ...

Davidson: Asking questions about election integrity doesn’t make someone an ‘election denier’

By John Daniel Davidson, Commentary | The Federalist A sensational report in The Wall Street Journal implies that questioning the integrity of our elections is tantamount to domestic terrorism. If Americans have questions and concerns about how our elections are administered and how ballots are tabulated, does that make them “election deniers,” conspiracy theorists, threats to democracy? The Wall Street Journal seems to think so. In a long news report published over the weekend headlined, “‘It Feels Very Dystopian.’ Republican County Officials Brace for Election Deniers—Again,” the Journal repeatedly characterized those who think the 2020 election was stolen, rigged, or less-than-secure as “election deniers,” and stopped just short of calling them domestic terrorists.&nb...

SB 24-008 has expedited the process of placing about 4,500 Colorado children in foster care

By Lindy Browning | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice Sue Hanson, a Montrose County commissioner, knows something most people don’t know. She knows how many children in Colorado are in foster care, and that these children have not been the priority they should be. She has been working behind the scenes - and not so behind the scenes - looking for ways to support these children and the families that step up to care for them when they are no longer safe in their homes. To that end, she and her fellow commissioners, Keith Caddy and Roger Nash, have approved $1.5 million dollars to assist organizations that support these children and their caregivers. The money is being distributed equally to Kin-Connect, Hope and Home, and Brad's House. “Foster care is a priority to Sue, and she h...

Devotional: Life’s enigma is a call to true wisdom

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice What do all humans have in common? Death, time, and chance. Yet, we can also say life, eternity, and choice! Regardless of perspective, life is undeniably an enigma — a paradox much like trying to catch a cloud or a wisp of smoke. Attempting to grasp it often transforms it into something entirely different. However, if we can glimpse this mystery, many certainties of life come into focus, allowing us to enjoy each day and expect goodness—not just sometimes, but always. The Hebrew word for enigma, "Hevel," appears 38 times in the Bible, particularly in the wisdom literature. Often translated as vanity or meaningless, it reflects life's fleeting, elusive nature. Yet, understanding "Hevel" beyond a Western lens reveals profound truth...

Opponents to Prop. 127 rally at state capitol, asking voters to deny proposed ban

By Amanda Hardin | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice This past Friday, a sizable crowd gathered at the Colorado State Capitol to voice their opposition to Proposition 127, which would ban the "trophy hunting" of mountain lions, bobcats and lynx. The event, which attracted several prominent political figures, included passionate speeches addressing concerns about how the proposition could negatively impact rural Colorado and the state’s approach to wildlife management. While the rally had a large presence of those against the proposition, it was grounded in factual concerns about the potential implications of putting complex wildlife management issues into the hands of voters. Prop. 127 would introduce a ballot measure that places the decision-making power for wildlife managemen...

Sloan: Reflections on Brett Baier’s Fox News interview with VP Kamala Harris

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The inestimable Peggy Noonan, in her regular Sunday Wall Street Journal column, was exacting, as usual, in her analysis of Kamala Harris: “This week she couldn’t answer a single question straight, and people should see it. She is an artless dodger.” A bit little later on in the piece, referring to a typical word-salad response, Harris proffered to a question: “That isn’t the answer of a candidate trying to be forthcoming and using her limited time in an attempt to be better understood. It is the sound of someone running out the clock.” And further on yet: “What are her thoughts, right now, about illegal immigration and the border?... Was the influx a good thing? Why? Does it constitute a national emergency? Why? What atti...
