Devotional: Finding God’s design in the wonderment of Buc-ee’s

By DRAKE HUNTER | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In the early 1990s, I was introduced to a fresh and exciting concept within the military: Total Quality Management (TQM). This wasn't just a new way to lead, but a completely different approach to organizing and managing life in the service. The principles of TQM, such as quality, care and vision, were not just applicable in the corporate world, but also had a profound spiritual significance. They helped me understand Ephesians 2:10, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Fast forward to my retirement in 2005. Living in a small town brought simpler pleasures, but I hadn’t encountered that same buzz of excellence in a long time — until last week when I vis...

Iran cuts off indirect communication line with U.S. amid escalating tension

By Brady Knox | Washington Examiner The Iranian government cut off indirect communication with the United States as tensions in the region continue to rise. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters that a vital deescalation method had been cut off due to the changing situation with Israel. “Due to the situation in the region, we have stopped exchanging indirect messages with America,” he said. “Currently we don’t see any ground for these talks, until we can get past the current crisis,” Araghchi added.

J.D. Vance rips ABC’s Martha Raddatz as she downplays Venezuelan gang takeover in Colorado: ‘Do you hear yourself?’

By Ryan King | The New York Post Republican vice presidential hopeful JD Vance went off on ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz Sunday after she tried to fact-check the senator from Ohio about the presence of Venezuelan migrant gangs in Aurora, Colo. Former President Donald Trump, 78, stumped in the Denver suburb Friday and vented that the Tren de Aragua (TdA) crime syndicate had “overrun” the city. “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes — apartment complexes and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns,” Raddatz, 71, told Vance on ABC’s “This Week.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Colton: Cringeworthy pro-Harris ad showcasing male support features professional actors

By Emma Colton, Commentary | Fox News A new and viral political video featuring men declaring they are "man enough" to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is stacked with Hollywood actors and comedians.  A grassroots ad published last week by a former producer for Jimmy Kimmel has racked up millions of views on social media as critics lambaste the video supporting Harris as "the cringiest political ad ever created." The director behind the video said it was made for a group called Creatives for Harris, adding that even while the video is tongue in cheek, the message of the video "is true."  The video was not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee, according to a disclaimer in the 90-second video, but is shot as if it's an o...

Tren de Aragua gang member arrested for recruiting at Houston middle school

By Bob Price | Breitbart Texas Department of Public Safety troopers arrested a Venezuelan migrant for allegedly recruiting middle school students into the violent Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. Texas DPS troopers arrested 32-year-old Jorgenys Robertson Cova in Houston on October 7, Fox 26 Houston reported. The arrest of the Venezuelan migrant who entered the U.S. illegally during the Biden-Harris administration sent shockwaves through the southwest Houston community of Sharpstown. Cova is suspected of recruiting middle school students for the Tren de Aragua gang. Residents of the Sharpstown community, where the schools are located, expressed concern over the growing threat. Janice, a local resident, remarked, “A lot of things have happened that are on the news, so if it’s happeni...

Man arrested outside Trump Coachella rally denies assassination intent; he’s ‘all in’ supporting Trump

By Stepheny Price , Bryan Preston | Fox News The man being accused of a potential third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital and says the claims against him are false in his first extended interview since his arrest.  Vem Miller, 49, said he reported the guns to authorities, which he says he always travels with despite never using them, at a checkpoint to get into Trump's Coachella rally on Saturday evening and denied that documents Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said were fake are legit.  His arrest on gun charges sparked speculation, following two assassination attempts on Trump since July. But he was quickly released on $5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed. READ THE FULL S...

Durden: Joe Rogan Has 25 Days To Interview Donald Trump

By Tyler Durden, Commentary | Zero Hedge I like the Joe Rogan podcast. I’ve watched/listened to it since his very first episode with Graham Hancock back in the #100s series. Not only have I watched/listened to it religiously since then, it also inspired me to start my own podcast, which is going on six years running and has accumulated more than 7 million listens. If there was one thing that brought me to Rogan’s podcast, it was his open-minded approach to all topics and his willingness to discuss and ask questions about anything. I always got the impression Rogan was honest, well-meaning, and genuinely curious during his interviews. Over the last 5 to 10 years, a couple of things have happened. First, Rogan’s podcast has become one of the most listened-to and followed podcasts/me...

Metzger: The hellish process of renewing a vehicle registration in Colorado

By Hannah Metzger, Commentary | Westword It took me a month of phone calls and collecting paperwork, $230 of fines and fees, and four hours of sitting at the Denver Motor Vehicle office to renew my car's registration. For the last two years, I was one of those drivers you see publicly shamed on social media for rolling through town with outrageously expired license plates. My registration expired in July of 2022, making it 27 months out of date when I finally completed the arduous renewal process last Friday, October 4. I bought the car from my mother five years ago, but until last week, it was still registered under her name and address. So all of the registration reminders never reached me. As a downtown resident who rarely drives, I did not notice the registratio...

Hillman: Colorado highways crumble under CDOT neglect

By Mark Hillman, Commentary | Complete Colorado Colorado highways are among the worst in the nation.  That’s hardly news to anyone who travels across our state. Only two states report a larger share of interstate highway in poorer condition than Colorado.  Less-traveled highways are even worse. In 2021, the Democrat-controlled legislature passed a $5.4 billion package of new “fees” – including an annual increase in fuel prices and that irritating 29 cents only Coloradans pay on every Amazon order – supposedly to boost the transportation budget. Despite that infusion of money, Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) predicts the condition of every category of state-maintained highways will get even worse over the next seven years.  By 2031, just 25%...

The Free Press: ‘60 Minutes,’ release the unedited Kamala Harris transcript

By The Free Press, Commentary Those of us who have worked in legacy media organizations have a pretty good idea why the so-called “mainstream press” has lost so much of its credibility. They ignore politically inconvenient stories. They rewrite history to suit the needs of the present. They punish wrongthinkers. And they promote ideology at the expense of reality. But for those who still had any remaining doubt, the news out of CBS this week has gone a long way toward answering that question.
