Hancock: Progressives set the stage, but Congressman Evans skipped the guillotine

By now, the script is all too familiar. A group of self-styled “concerned citizens” — usually bearing placards, hashtags, and an unshakable belief in their moral certitude — convenes a town hall. They claim to be opening a forum for “dialogue” with their congressional representative.

But the scene is less Lincoln-Douglas debate and more kangaroo court. Their goal? Not to converse but to corner. Not to listen, but to lambast. And when the lamb refuses to volunteer for the slaughter, the howling begins.

Such is the latest political scenario in the district of Congressman Gabe Evans, a conservative legislator whose greatest sin — according to local progressives — is winning an election in a democratic district and then voting according to the views of his constituency.

Tristan: Democrats are betting on fear to win back power

Commentary, Approved, National, Rocky Mountain Voice, Top Stories / March 25, 2025 / AOC, Bernie Sanders, Democrats, Fearmongering, Political Violence, Polls, Senate, U.S. Congress

Nearly all the plexiglass barriers have been removed from checkout lines in grocery stores. It is rare to find any of the 6-foot spaced markers that facilitated social distancing. And thankfully, toilet paper is back in full supply on store shelves. However, the fear of COVID lives on. Many people still wear masks – some even don gloves.

Pielke Jr: How To Get Rid of a Tenured Professor

Commentary, Approved, Reason / March 24, 2025 / Education, University of Colorado

I was a tenured full professor at the University of Colorado Boulder for almost 24 years. At the end of 2024, I left. Officially, it was a voluntary departure. But I sure felt like I’d been pushed out.

Pastor Bob: For such a time as this, we must lift our voices

Approved, Commentary, National, Rocky Mountain Voice / March 24, 2025 / christianity, Devotional, First amendment, Politics

I have been asked: should Christians be involved in politics? Short answer — yes! Oh some may blurt out 2 Corinthians 6:16 in response: “What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.’ Therefore, come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” This does not preclude us from voicing and practicing the way and will of God.

Devotional: Embracing new life through regeneration

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice / March 23, 2025 / Devotional, Drake Hunter

The Helmet of Salvation, an essential part of the spiritual armor described in Ephesians 6:10-18, is not merely an image to visualize. It symbolizes the protection and assurance we gain when we respond to God’s call for a new life—or a rebirth of reality—a new existence where we shed the old self and embrace a new reality that transforms our religious experiences into a deeper and more profound humanity in every aspect of life. The question is: will you answer the call?

Rep. Gonzalez: Colorado doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem

In the state of Colorado, we are facing over a $1.2 BILLION dollar shortfall. As we are now halfway through the 2025 legislative session, we have seen little progress from the lawmaking majority on making hard and significant cuts to our budget. Rather than admit the improper allocation of taxpayer dollars, the majority uses this predicament to go after and attack our Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR).

Burke: Colorado leaders cheer women’s soccer while leaving girls vulnerable

Have you heard that Denver is welcoming a women’s professional soccer team and is hoping to build a new women’s soccer stadium? Wow, Colorado must be very supportive of women’s sports, right? Unfortunately, our leaders will try to sell you on this notion while they have done nothing in this state to protect women’s sports.
