Rosinski: Supporting Colorado’s coal communities with nuclear power

By Michelle Rosinski | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As Colorado grapples with increasing energy demands and the urgent need to move away from coal to meet environmental and health goals, the question arises: how can we ensure that this transition provides economic opportunities and stability for coal-dependent communities?  For decades, the American working class has borne the brunt of energy transitions. From coal miners to oil rig workers, shifts in energy policy have often led to job losses and economic instability. As we move toward a cleaner future, it is imperative that we avoid repeating these mistakes.  Nuclear energy, particularly advanced small modular reactors (SMRs), presents a viable solution that can facilitate a just transition away from coal, ensuring...

Commentary: Pueblo’s Democratic Party faces $2 million campaign finance scandal

By Rocky Mountain Voice | Commentary The Pueblo Democratic Party is at the center of a significant campaign finance scandal, following a complaint that has exposed years of financial misconduct. While the statute of limitations may cap their liability at $25,000, the total violations could exceed $2 million if all infractions were accounted. The revelations suggest that the party has evaded financial reporting laws for more than a decade, raising serious questions about accountability. The complaint targets the financial activities of the Pueblo County Democratic Central Committee, which operates as an ancillary entity to the Pueblo Democratic Party. Colorado law, specifically Article XXVIII of the State Constitution and 1-45-108 C.R.S., requires transparency in campaign finance r...

Daniel: Leave wildlife management to CPW, vote no on Prop. 127

By Bobbie Daniel | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Proposition 127, currently under debate in Colorado, aims to impose a blanket ban on hunting mountain lions, bobcats and lynx. However, it is important to clarify some of the misleading claims surrounding this measure. First, lynx are federally-protected and are not at risk of being hunted in Colorado. Additionally, “trophy” hunting is already illegal in the state. Although the proposition may appear to promote wildlife preservation, it disregards the critical role that Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) plays in maintaining balanced ecosystems and safeguarding rural communities. This isn’t just a hunting ban—it restricts CPW’s ability to manage these species effectively under the guise of wildlife protection. If passed, the ...

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...

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...

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. Over the past few days, we’ve reported on: READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FREE PRESS Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the management of the Rocky Mountain Voice, but eve...

Turley: Liberals are losing their minds over Elon Musk

By Jonathan Turley, commentary | The Hill This week, Elton John  publicly renounced the Rocket Man — no, not the 1972 song, but Elon Musk, whom he called an “a**hole” in an awards ceremony. Sir Elton, 77, is only the latest among celebrities and pundits to denounce Musk for his support of former president Donald Trump and his opposition to censorship. Musk-mania is so overwhelming that some are calling for his arrest, deportation and debarment from federal contracts. This week, the California Coastal Commission rejected a request from the Air Force for additional launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It is not because the military agency did not need the launches. It was not because the nation and the community would not benefit from them. Rather, it was reporte...
