Clerks vs. the Constitution: Why the CCCA’s Letter to Polis Gets It Wrong

By A.L. Goodwin | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The Colorado County Clerks Association (CCCA) sent a letter urging Governor Polis to block the potential transfer of Tina Peters to federal custody. That request rests on unconstitutional assumptions and a series of demonstrably false claims—many of which CCCA Director Matt Crane repeated in his November 24, 2025 interview on 710 KNUS, spread across two morning segments — Let My Tina Go! and Should Tina Peters Be Pardoned? 1. Matt Crane falsely asserted that Tina was a flight risk and should not be out on bond pending appeal. “Tina certainly demonstrated before that she's a flight risk, right? So after the cyber symposium, in 2021 where she went and, you know, hid out … she was gone for at least a month after tha...

Rep. Gabe Evans is a Colorado Energy Champion

By Hunter Rivera | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As the seventh-largest energy-producing state in the nation, Colorado has established itself as a leader in not only traditional energy, but renewable and next-generation sources as well. That’s why new, all-of-the-above energy legislation moving through Congress is so important for the Centennial State. Just last week, the House Natural Resources Committee advanced the SPEED Act, a bipartisan perm​​itting reform bill that would remove barriers to energy development and deployment. Before it comes to the House floor for a vote, the Energy & Commerce Committee will offer its own contributions to the legislative package. As a member of that important committee and the bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus, our represent...

The Trump engine fires on all cylinders while Congress idles

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker President Donald Trump has been back in office for almost a year -- roughly 315 days -- and has governed with the urgency of a turnaround CEO. He hit the ground running, signing executive orders immediately after inauguration and maintaining a pace unmatched in modern politics. But what becomes of all this action? Executive orders can be reversed the moment a new president arrives unless Congress codifies them into law. That’s the key difference between temporary executive action and lasting legislative reform. According to Ballotpedia, “As of November 25, 2025, President Donald Trump had signed 217 executive orders, 54 memoranda, and 110 proclamations in his second presidential term, which began on January 20, 2025.” Yet...

Global climate agenda unravels as nations retreat from costly commitments

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com Over 70,000 people just left Belém, Brazil after attending the annual UN climate change party, called COP30 because it was the 30th annual “Conference of the Parties.” This year there were 56,118 delegates, appointed by governments who are parties to the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Besides the delegates themselves, there were over 14,000 observers, journalists, lobbyists, skeptics, protesters, and opponents of the entirely predictable recommendations. Those recommendations attempted to address four political issues. First, where COP recommendations used to be threats against all the industrialized countries, this year it devolved into a debate about whether such countries should even be asked to do better. Second, how ...

Standing Firm — The Full Armor of God

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevation Life Church Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ~ Ephesians 6:13 ~ There’s a moment in every spiritual battle when you realize that the goal isn’t to fight harder—it’s to stand stronger. When Paul wrote, “after you have done everything, to stand,” he wasn’t calling for passive endurance; he was calling for a posture of steadfast faith, hope, and perseverance— anchored, alert, and armored in Christ. Your faith is the rock on which you stand, unwavering and secure. Standing firm isn’t about standing still; it’s about standing in truth—whether that’s Divine, Biblical, or Christian Truth (Worldview: Fear...

Jason Crow Is Playing With Fire — And Colorado Should Be Asking Why

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice When a sitting United States Congressman tells the military to prepare to disobey orders, that’s not politics. That’s not oversight. That is the first brick in the road to a color revolution — and Colorado’s own Jason Crow is laying it proudly. Crow, the Democrat representing Colorado’s 6th District, joined a group of lawmakers who released a video urging active-duty military and intelligence personnel to “refuse unlawful orders.” Sounds noble — until you realize they never defined what those orders might be. That’s the game. Vagueness is the weapon. Uncertainty is the strategy. And it’s not an accident. When politicians want to destabilize a country from the inside, they don’t start with mobs in the streets. They start by undermi...

Colorado’s clash with federal law: Why Tina Peters’ case poses a Supreme Court question

By RMV Editorial Board What began as a state prosecution of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters now sits at the junction of presidential pardon pertaining to federal election law and state authority. Colorado barred key evidence from the jury, sealed portions of the grand jury record, then fought to keep those materials from appellate review.  A recent analysis by Amuse asserts that the Supreme Court has never ruled on whether a presidential pardon can neutralize a state conviction when the conduct arises from a federal duty. Amuse also argues that when a state interferes with administering a federal election, those prosecutions become offenses against the United States—whatever the state calls them. https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1989394815616770528?s=46 Appe...

The real Thanksgiving story still matters

By RMV Editorial Board Every November, we reach for the familiar version of Thanksgiving—the one with corn, a moment of goodwill between cultures and a picture of exhausted settlers saved by generous neighbors. There’s some truth in that telling, but only a sliver of the real thing. The actual history is rougher, more straightforward and far more connected to the country we’ve become. It is also a story that has been quietly pushed to the side. What follows is one of the clearest tellings of what actually happened. It isn’t sentimental, and it isn’t polished for classroom posters. It’s Rush Limbaugh reading straight from Gov. William Bradford’s own journal, the colony’s longtime governor and chief chronicler—a primary record of the Plymouth settlement and the decisions that mad...

Funding trail reveals Soros-linked organizations behind anti-Trump ‘illegal orders’ campaign

By Matt Vespa | Commentary, Townhall If it doesn’t resonate, it sucks. If it lands you being interviewed for the FBI for maybe peddling a seditious conspiracy, it sucks. If pollsters say it sucks, it was an attack line that was never meant to be successful. Several Democrats have been peddling these cockamamie attack lines regarding our military. They’ve been urging our service members not to follow so-called illegal orders from President Trump. Have any been issued? No. It’s a shoddy political stunt, and it’s reportedly being bankrolled by none other than groups tied to George Soros:  https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/1993582203151028534?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1993684458961088599?s=20 READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT TOWNHALL Editor...

Before Closing Pueblo’s Coal Unit Colorado Must Guarantee Reliable Power

By The Gazette Editorial Board | The Denver Gazette To meet Colorado’s surging need for electricity, our state needs energy from a diverse array of dedicated sources. Unfortunately, with the pending closure of the two remaining, operational, coal-fired units at Xcel Energy’s Comanche Generating Station in Pueblo, things are getting tricky. Comanche is the state’s largest power plant, with an original capacity of 1,410 megawatts. But its Unit 1 was shut down in 2022 as part of the statewide phaseout of coal-burning power plants. Unit 2 now is set to close at the end of this year, with Comanche Unit 3 scheduled for closure in 2030. It’s all part of Gov. Jared Polis’ green-energy agenda, which aims to move away from fossil fuels like coal in favor of renewable energy sources like wind a...
