Devotional: When the truth calls you back into formation

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church I remember the day truth found me, normative truth that is, and it wasn’t in a church pew or quiet devotional moment. It was on a drill pad, surrounded by hundreds of Airmen at Lackland Air Force Base, standing at attention in full formation. I was in Basic Military Training, still full of fight, pride, and the need to prove myself.  When the Training Instructors (TIs) clocked out for the day, I’d go looking for a different kind of training, one that involved fists, not formation. I would stir up fights in the dorms, trying to dominate the other guys in our squadron.  In other words, I thought I was all that and a bag of Doritos with a Mountain Dew on the side, so much so–that I thought I was getting away with...

Wright: My old CIA boss John Brennan used intelligence to sabotage a president, imprison him

By Bryan Dean Wright | Commentary, Fox News Five key details emerge about how intelligence was allegedly manipulated to undermine Trump's presidency Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison. Here’s why. The CIA released fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agency’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia's influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It found that Russian President Vladimir Putin "aspired" to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the election. That assessment – ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan – ignited the Trump-Russia hoax...

Hancock: July 4 is a call to fulfill, not destroy

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Rediscovering Frederick Douglass’s Real Message Every year around this time, we dust off the words of Frederick Douglass’s famous 1852 speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?", and parade them around like fireworks—bright, dramatic, and quickly forgotten. In recent years, Douglass has been appropriated into the modern progressive narrative, a voice supposedly echoing today’s claims that America was founded as a white supremacist project, rooted not in liberty but in racial hierarchy. That’s the popular takeaway. But that’s not Douglass’s message. Not even close. Douglass’s words, when read in full, don’t damn the Constitution or the founding ideals—they uphold them. He doesn't condemn the Declaration of Independence as a fr...

Beezley: July 4, 1776 was one perfect moment—for liberty and for mankind

By Don Beezley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice After thousands of years of struggle through oppression and tyranny, there was one perfect moment in human history on a hot, summer day in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: July 4, 1776. On that date the Second American Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of the thirteen United States of America–the American Declaration of Independence.  The crowning achievement of the Enlightenment in a one-page document. The Declaration of Independence represents the one moment in history when we got it right. One perfect moment derived from a morally perfect vision. The words on that parchment may fade with time, but its immortal ideas amplify and reverberate through the annals of time: We hold these truths to be sel...

Garbo: America’s $16.4 billion wake-up call—the largest healthcare fraud in U.S. history

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The United States has just witnessed the largest healthcare fraud takedown in its history. Over 324 individuals - including 96 licensed medical professionals - stand accused of orchestrating and profiting from a sprawling $16.4 billion scheme that defrauded Medicare, Medicaid, and the American taxpayer.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxp69sQDnlk This is not a bureaucratic misstep or clerical oversight. It is ideological rot - a moral collapse within a system trusted to care for the sick, the elderly, and the most vulnerable. Let’s begin with what is encouraging: this takedown required skill, intelligence, courage, and the mobilization of federal and state law enforcement at scale. Agents, prosecutors, analysts, an...

Hunt: Take pride in America this Fourth—and give thanks to God

By Jeff Hunt | Commentary, Substack As fireworks light up the night sky this Fourth of July, let’s do more than celebrate—we must recommit. Recommit to the truth that this nation, the United States of America, was not an accident of history but a divine blessing. Our rights were not granted by kings or bureaucrats. They were endowed by our Creator. And no matter how much the secular left tries to erase that truth, it still echoes from our founding documents and lives on in the hearts of patriotic Americans. It’s time to stop apologizing for loving this country. America is not just a place—it’s an idea. A God-given idea. That all men are created equal. That liberty is worth defending. That government’s power is limited because it answers to something higher. Our Founding Fathers ...

Pastor Bob: Careful, Major—you serve at the pleasure of the President

By Rev. Robert Babcox | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In a recent op-ed in the New York Times, a U.S. Army Major vehemently disagreed with President Trump’s order to remove transgender individuals from military service. He noted that as an evangelical conservative Christian, most wouldn’t expect him to disagree with the order. He’s right—evangelical conservative Christians would never support something so far left. The Major added that he loves people and wants them treated with respect.  To that point, I agree.  But if you truly love someone and they are suffering from an obvious mental illness, you get them the help they need. You don’t put them in high-stress, traumatic jobs where their condition may worsen. Before anyone asks where I get the experience...

Gaines: Activists are using CPW to sneak in what the public rejected

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project By a 15% margin Denver voters last November soundly rejected an initiative to ban any new fur sales (among other things like display or trades) in the city.If you thought that this would be enough to convince animal rights activists to rethink their strategy, you're right.They did rethink it. According to the Complete Colorado article linked first below, a citizen petition for rulemaking (which is linked second below) has recently been filed with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to effectively do what voters in Denver clearly and obviously rejected.The difference? This petition, if it goes through, would be statewide and would be decided upon by the 12 CPW commissioners that Polis appointed.Let me run that past you again. 12 unelec...

Hancock: The Constitution isn’t broken—it’s working as designed

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack When the Supreme Court ruled on Friday to restrict the use of nationwide injunctions—limiting the power of lower federal courts to block federal policies across all 50 states—the headlines screamed “judicial power grab.” Civil rights groups warned the ruling is a “crisis for civil liberties”, while pundits cautioned that it is another step in America’s ongoing executive aggrandizement. The reaction was loud, dire, and—to anyone who understands the Constitution—deeply misleading. Despite the shrieking headlines and partisan outrage, what we’re witnessing isn’t a constitutional failure. It’s a constitutional function. The system is not broken. It’s working. Slowly, awkwardly, and often frustratingly—but working. This deliberate slownes...

Joondeph: Prior authorization is gatekeeping with red tape—can RFK Jr. cut it?

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Preauthorization, also called prior authorization (PA), is a process where healthcare insurance companies must approve before paying for medications, procedures, surgeries, or other medical services.  These are usually standard and approved therapies. For medications, PA approval is required for many FDA-approved (though expensive) drugs, used according to label, meaning in accordance with the detailed package insert. MAHA rainmaker, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, is trying to fix this problem. https://youtu.be/g6VoqXmiLrw?feature=shared This process started in the 1960s as part of Medicare and Medicaid’s “utilization review” to reduce unnecessary hospital stays and manage c...
