Devotional: Which tree will you choose? Life or death?

By Drake Hunter | Devotional, Rocky Mountain Voice Let’s chat about something that should be prioritized: getting in tune with God’s wisdom (Proverbs 3). Picture this: the world is like a sneaky influencer, whispering sweet nothings that can lead us astray without realizing it. But fear not (Matthew 10:28)! The remedy is as straightforward as this discussion. Those who embrace God’s wisdom are snacking on the divine delights of “The Tree of Life,” while those who get caught up in worldly wisdom are munching on “The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”—a tree that, let me tell you, is not as innocent as it sounds (Tree of Death). It carries the weight of serious baggage, leading us to death. Let's be mindful of these dangers and choose our sources of wisdom wisely. If this tree ...

Ganahl: Colorado’s ties to Kamala’s lies about later term abortion

By Heidi Ganahl, Commentary | Rocky Mountain Voice One of Kamala Harris’s most glaring falsehoods during the recent presidential debate was her dismissal of Donald Trump’s claim that abortion is legal and on demand at any point during pregnancy in some states. Harris confidently declared, “Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion. That is not an abortion. That is not happening.”  But the truth is, it *is* happening—right here in Colorado. The radical position of “abortion until birth” was on full display as Harris, much like our Colorado Governor Jared Polis, defended unrestricted access to abortion without acknowledging the serious ethical and moral implications of late-term procedures. Her VP pick Walz is just as r...

Caldara: Colorado Press Association rewards secretive government

 By Jon Caldera, Commentary | Complete Colorado What’s worse: people in political power shielding their activity from public oversight or the media celebrating them for doing so? Fortunately, in Colorado we don’t have to choose. We get both! The Colorado Press Association (CPA) has bestowed its “Defender of Free Press” award to the very same legislators who earlier this year passed a law to keep the press, and citizens, out of their meetings. Yes, these grand defenders of the Fourth Estate voted to exempt themselves from the Colorado Open Meetings Law so we can’t see what they’re doing — definitely award-worthy.

Brelje: ABC should be prosecuted for illegal contributions to Harris in ‘debate’

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist Former President Donald Trump showed up for a traditional political debate Tuesday night, but he instead found himself in the middle of a 90-minute ambush to boost Kamala Harris. Working as a team, ABC hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis propped up Harris and repeatedly tried to vanquish Trump by talking over him, cutting him off, and asking bizarre questions they did not ask Harris. At one point, Davis jumped in for Harris and offered a rebuttal to one of Trump’s comments on abortion, a move beyond the scope of a moderator. They allowed Harris more time to respond and followed her when she veered off topic, but gave Trump no such breaks. It was not a debate, but a campaign contribution. That’s not a big surprise from either moderator, as Muir hosts t...

Griswald: Debate moderators bringing up J6 but not Trump assassination attempt tells you everything about media corruption

By Kylee Griswald | The Federalist Nobody was surprised Tuesday night when the first — and likely only — 2024 presidential debate featured Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris, David Muir, and Linsey Davis. Yet the level of corruption never ceases to amaze, this time in the form of Kamala’s ABC cronies neglecting to bring up the recent attempted murder of their political foe that occurred not two months ago. You’d never know that the former and likely future president was shot in the head 59 days ago. And that it was at the hands of a crazed gunman who was allowed to scale the roof of a building near where President Trump was speaking even after bystanders saw him. And that the building was suspiciously left out of the security perimeter even though it was identified as a potential threat....

Devotional: Embracing a consistent faith to find true sanity

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As I represented Rocky Mountain Voice at the Colorado State Fair, I was blessed to encounter a rich tapestry of perspectives and viewpoints. This experience prompted me to reflect on the importance of maintaining a rational and profound approach to life. Some individuals skillfully juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, while others constantly shift their perspectives to fit various situations. This contrast highlighted the distinction between wisdom and instability, or even foolishness. The idea of continually changing one’s worldview felt similar to switching heads instead of hats— an exhausting endeavor that reflects a desire to meet whims, the expectations of others or the world. This brought to mind the image of the seve...

Hardin: Disarming Coloradans while allowing illegal immigration. How Aurora’s Tren de Aragua gang exploits vulnerable communities.

By Amanda Hardin | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The rise of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a violent transnational Venezuelan gang, in Aurora, Colorado, has brought new urgency to debates about public safety, immigration and the 2nd Amendment. The gang is accused of infiltrating and taking over local apartment complexes, including Whispering Pines, where they allegedly engage in violent crime, extortion and human trafficking. The situation raises serious concerns about the vulnerability of disarmed citizens, particularly in light of unchecked illegal immigration, which has allowed these gang members to operate within U.S. borders. Recent reports confirm that several members of the TdA gang, all Venezuelan nationals, entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and 2023, after crossing the southe...

Sloan: More of the same water-carrying by media for Harris

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Donald Trump may overplay it a little with his “FAKE NEWS” schtick, but the reality of inhered left-wing bias in the media is axiomatic. If we needed a few more examples, I offer the last few weeks. It’s no secret that the mainstream media has been pretty much carrying the Harris campaign since the deposing of Joe Biden, whose foibles and steady degradation of mental acuity they had been all but covering for until it became so obvious that it would require a Truman Show-level of coordinated mass deception to employ the needed gymnastics. Since the primary-circumventing replacement of the Democratic Presidential ticket (a brilliant bit of political sleight-of-hand naturally left uncommented upon) most of the media have fallen over them...

Sheffield: Faux feminist Kamala Harris, an anti-woman, misogynist candidate

By Carrie Sheffield | Daily Signal Vice President Kamala Harris claims to be a champion for women, but many facts tell a different story. Harris speaks pro-women rhetoric, but fails to protect women and girls from assaults in locker rooms.  Harris endorsed a new Biden-Harris administration rule expanding Title IX protections to gender identity and sexual orientation, requiring schools receiving federal funds to allow males into female spaces such as restrooms and locker rooms, or into any activity currently separated as male or female.  READ MORE AT THE DAILY SIGNAL 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 even...

Murray: The delusions of Kamala Harris

By Douglas Murray  | The Spectator There are a number of joys in life that do not get enough attention. One is the sheer, unadulterated pleasure that can be gained from watching a politician speak about something they know nothing about. This season Kamala Harris is giving especially abundant material for connoisseurs. Recognizing that there is plenty she doesn’t know about, her campaign team are hoping that she can glide into office without having to say anything about what she might do once there. On the rare occasions when she does sit down and get asked questions, she is a master in her peculiar field. For instance, if Harris is asked about how her administration would tackle inflation she will say something like: “We need to take a moment here to acknowledge what inflation ...
