Supreme Court Blocks Postal Service Changes for Mail-In Ballots

By Misty Severi | Just the News The majority of justices merely determined that the administration's position was unlikely to succeed. The Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump's mail-in voting order on Monday, allowing a lower court's ruling to remain in effect. The ruling, which marked a major blow to the Trump administration, blocked proposed changes to the United States Postal Service that would require states to submit mail-in voter lists to the service. The service would then refuse delivery of ballots to recipients not on the list. READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT JUST THE NEWS

Vandals Target Charlie Kirk Statue Outside Turning Point USA Headquarters

By Zoe Hussain | New York Post A brand-new statue of slain conservative icon Charlie Kirk was vandalized in Arizona — just days after it was unveiled for the one-year anniversary of his death. The 8-foot statue of Kirk at Turning Point USA’s Phoenix headquarters, as well as a nearby poster memorial in front of the statue, was defaced with red paint overnight Sunday, AZ Family reported. Cops responded to calls about the defaced memorial just after 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, the Phoenix Police Department said in a statement to The Post. The statue was installed on Thursday to mark a year since the 31-year-old TPUSA co-founder was gunned down at an open-mic event at Utah Valley University. Photos from AZ Family showed the red paint smeared over the statu...

The Decisiveness Weapon: Charlie and the Truth Factory 

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As I sit quietly this morning, rather than a nursery rhyme, a children's tale keeps illuminating my imagination: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with three injuries weighing upon my soul. Yesterday marked one year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Today marks twenty-five years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. And here at home, my wife, Sherrie, has spent more than 300 days bedridden. While being treated for glioblastoma, she was dropped on her head during hospital care, suffering injuries that left her unable to walk. One injury is political and cultural. One is national and collective. One is deeply personal. Each has brought pain. Each has produced loss. And each places the same question before the...

Same question, different answers: Google’s AI on Kirk, King and Kennedy

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice On the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death, I asked my iPhone three questions: How old was Charlie Kirk when he was assassinated? How old was Charlie Kirk when he was murdered? How old was Charlie Kirk when he died? The first two of these questions stumped Google. Rather than respond with Kirk's age at his death, Google's response was: Charlie Kirk—date of death Sept. 10, 2025. Only on question number three did Google respond: Charlie Kirk—31 years old. On the day I asked, Google would not tell me Kirk's age when I framed his death as an assassination or a murder. Merriam-Webster knew Kirk had been assassinated. It defines "assassinate" as "to murder (especially a politically important person) by s...

Twenty-five years after 9/11, I still miss the America we were in the days after

By Shaina Cole | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I was on my knees scrubbing stains out of the carpet as I watched it all unfold. This was the fall of 2001. I was 21, three months out of college, working temp jobs while I looked for something permanent. My fiancé and I had been in our rental for a short time. The people before us had left stains ground into the carpet, and I was still working on getting them up.  My usual routine was to eat something, then clean. Just an ordinary Tuesday, and I was in the South, nowhere near New York. I turned the TV on. Breaking news was already running when I sat down.  A plane had struck one of the World Trade Center towers. I picked up the phone and called my mom. I asked her if she was seeing what I was seeing. I don't re...

A year after Charlie Kirk’s death, have we forgotten what came next?

By Tori Stork (Ganahl) | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was killed. It still feels strange to write those words. I’ve spent a lot of today thinking about Charlie—not just the person the world knew, but the 21-year-old who called me out of nowhere when I was a college student at the University of Oregon. The guy who flew to Eugene, spent months helping our little group of students (mostly in disguise so no one would recognize him), strategized with us in my Jeep, drilled us on messaging and quoted Scripture from memory. Charlie believed in people before most of the world knew their names. He believed in me before I really believed in myself. Years later, after Turning Point had become a national force and millions of people competed f...

Colorado River Deal Adds Mexico to Growing List of Water Cuts

By Shannon Mullane | The Colorado Sun The deal, which comes on the heels of big water cuts for three Western states, includes more cuts for Mexico. Officials from the United States and Mexico announced Wednesday a Colorado River water-sharing deal for the next two years as the basin continues to be overstressed by prolonged drought. The short-term deal, formally known as Minute 334, calls for Mexico to cut 250,000 acre-feet, or more than 100,000 Olympic swimming pools’ worth of water, in both 2027 and 2028. It also establishes an environmental work group and a pilot program to manage the salinity of Colorado River water as it reaches Mexico. “This Minute makes sure water is shared fairly among our users and protects the health of the Colorado River during...

Trump Pledges $5,000 Dividend to Adult Americans if GOP Holds Congress

By Joe Walsh | CBS News President Trump vowed Wednesday to send a $5,000 "dividend" to every American citizen after the midterms, but only if Republicans hold onto control of the House and Senate. The announcement came almost an hour into Mr. Trump's speech to the Republican National Committee's first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Dallas, as he seeks to rally Republican voters and fight significant political headwinds in the November elections. "If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," he said. The president did not offer details on how the payments — which he dubbed "Trump Dividends" — would work, including whether he plans to ask Congress to authorize the checks. He has floated the idea of cutting checks to U.S. citizens in th...

Trump’s Core Voters Find Brighter Prospects in a Changing Job Market

By Byron York |Commentary, Washington Examiner TRUMP AND HIS VOTERS. A new analysis in the Wall Street Journal offers striking evidence that, for all his problems, President Donald Trump has delivered economic benefits to the voters whose support was the foundation of his victory in 2024. The Wall Street Journal headline and story synopsis read: “Americans Without College Degrees Are Having One of the Best Job Markets in Years; Unemployment among younger workers who didn’t go to college has rarely been lower in recent decades. It is the opposite story for college grads.” The article was based on work done by a think tank called the Burning Glass Institute. Analysts found that “the unemployment rate for wo...

Economic boom is the greatest story never told, Kudlow says

By Lawrence Kudlow | Commentary, tippinsights PART I The Boom Begins When I sat down with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in front of the G20 conference at Asheville, North Carolina yesterday, my intent was to work with the secretary and promote an economic growth message. And he was more than cooperative, at the top of his game. It’s as though he was just waiting to unleash the success of the Trump economy, and he chose the G20 and our interview to make his statement. I had no interest in pursuing the minutiae of retiring off-the-run Treasury bonds, or other debt management arcana. Instead the big picture was the economic boom, the manufacturing boom, the construction boom, the rising animal spirits in the American economy. Here’s how I put it to Mr. Besse...
