Sloan: Who is really a threat to the U.S. Constitution?

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice There remains a great deal of amusement to be had at the expense of our friends on the left who continue, at D-Day-plus-one month, with eruptions of hysteria at the realization that more Americans preferred the specter of life under Donald Trump to that of one under Kamala Harris. Disappointment is understandable; pointed criticism is good, even necessary to democratic hygiene in a free society, but here and there we see examples of feverishness bumping against the boundaries of madness, even among experienced journalists who ought to know better -- or at least ought to possess the awareness to self-regulate. Ruth Marcus’ job description tells you all you need to know about her ideological persuasions. She is a columni...

Eden: A comprehensive guide to overhauling higher education

By Max Eden | Commentary, Washington Examiner Five years ago, President Donald Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, stood all but alone against the Democratic drive for student loan forgiveness. The conventional wisdom at the time was that free-college-for-all was a sure-fire winning issue for the Democrats. Why wouldn’t Trump’s education secretary simply allow a polite, quiet surrender? How the times have changed. America has spent the past four years under an administration that governed according to university-created woke ideology. In the past year alone, college presidents kowtowed to pro-genocidal campus quad glampers. All of this has totally flipped Republicans, and so many people in general, against our universities. No one is wondering whether T...

Dr. Joondeph: Presidential polling postmortem winners and losers

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Election 2024 is in the rearview mirror. Pollsters won’t be bombarding voters anymore. Today’s entertainment is liberal heads exploding on social media or the latest Democrat threatening - but not actually following through on - everything from drinking cyanide to setting themselves on fire to leaving the country if Donald Trump won the election. So far, few have followed through on their promises, although a handful have left the country. Good riddance to them. Trump did win, bigly, in a landslide of sorts. He won the Electoral College handily, 312 to 226. Trump also won the popular vote, 49.9% to 48.3%. As a divided country, the popular vote will always be close. Thus, in 1980, w...

Devotional: Mercy in the power of a pardon must be rooted in truth

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The words "pardon" and "mercy" beautifully complement each other, leading to profound consequences and uplifting experiences. Recent discussions on political pardons reveal the true essence of mercy and underscore the importance of seeking forgiveness in line with God's principles, rather than the selfish and dishonest routes often seen in human behavior. Mercy is a vital manifestation of God’s love, and it has the power to transform lives. The key lies in having faith in God’s mercy to comprehend real mercy and recognize when pardon is justifiable.  President Joe Biden and I share a common experience — not in political views, but in the challenge of having sons who can be foolish and come from privileged backgrounds. My son,...

Garbo: The aftermath of COVID-19, a profound failure of leadership, media and accountability

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The House Oversight & Accountability Committee’s After-Action Review of the COVID-19 pandemic, released on Dec. 2, presents a scathing indictment of the government’s, media’s and political organizations’ handling of the crisis. It exposes systemic failures, deceptions and outright betrayals that exacerbated the suffering of millions. This report not only lays bare the consequences of incompetence and political agendas but also raises the unsettling question: Did fear and ignorance drive this failure, or was it a calculated assault on the American people? The revelation that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, should shake the very foundations of public trust in our institutions. For years, the medi...

Lee and Lundberg: A call to get involved with Protect Kids Colorado

By Erin Lee and Kevin Lundberg | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Protect Kids Colorado (PKC) first launched earlier this year with two citizen initiatives to address the harm being caused by gender ideology in our public schools. Along with several other strong community leaders, we worked overtime to stand up a permanent organization that will protect kids in Colorado from the dangers of transgender ideology through education, citizen initiatives and aggressive oversight of state and local legislation. Our two initiatives that would have simply kept biological males out of girls sports and informed parents when their child has been transitioned in public schools did not make the ballot – not this year anyway. However, hundreds of Coloradans have stepped up to work wit...

Raleigh: By pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden gave himself a pass

By Helen Raleigh | Commentary, Helen Raleigh Substack By pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden gave himself a pass for being a failed parent and a corrupt politician. My dad always tells me he loves me unconditionally, but that doesn't mean he will co-sign all my behaviors. One of the fundamental responsibilities of a parent is to teach your child right from wrong, and sometimes such teaching involves discipline, which we commonly refer to as tough love. Hebrews 12:11 reminds all parents, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those trained by it." Where Biden failed as a parent is that he either didn't understand or was unwilling to practice tough love. Instead, he equated co-signing H...

West: ‘No one is above the law,’ unless…

By Lt. Col. Allen West (ret.) | Commentary, American Constitutional Rights Union Yea, without a doubt, this is the topic de jour, perhaps for the week. In the waning days of the Biden administration, Joe Biden went against his very own words and pardoned his son, Hunter. How many times did we have to hear Biden and his White House mouthpiece, Karinne Jean-Pierre, state that “no one is above the law?” Well, that is true unless you are aligned with the progressive socialist left. And what is even more disconcerting is the comprehensive nature of this pardon…it covers anything over the past 10 years. And to witness Joe Biden doing this and then hopping on a plane to Angola. Just to remind everyone, Hunter Biden, who thought he would get some sugar plea deal, was found guilty of federal ...

Pond: Transparency matters in the Dolores River National Conservation Area controversy

By Sean M Pond | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In recent proceedings, Mesa County Commissioner Cody Davis made a bold claim before Colorado's County Commissioners, asserting that there is unified support for a proposed National Conservation Area (NCA) along the Dolores River. However, this statement fundamentally misrepresents the complex reality facing local communities and stakeholders. The communities of Gateway, Nucla, Naturita, Bedrock, Paradox and surrounding areas stand in stark opposition to the proposed NCA. Their voices — the voices of those who live, work and deeply understand the local landscape — have been conspicuously absent from the decision-making process. Critical questions demand answers: How can commissioners claim widespread support when they have ...

Garbo: Hunter Biden’s pardon is the apex of corruption

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice President Joe Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, covering all crimes committed or potentially committed between 2014 and 2024, represents not only a historic abuse of power but a grave affront to the principles of justice and democracy. It encapsulates years of suspicion and mounting evidence of corruption at the highest levels, justifying the worst fears of conservatives and others whose voices were silenced or dismissed by a complicit media. This pardon cannot be viewed in isolation; it is part of a larger web of criminality, collusion and a concerted effort to suppress dissent, manipulate public opinion and shield the Biden family from accountability. The implications are dire, and the actions taken by Presid...
