Minary: Humor is good—even and especially in politics and culture

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “And now for something completely different.” (the opening scene of every episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus on BBC) This article is a departure from the usual banter on politics, religion, morality and taxes.  We can all use a good laugh now and again.  Monty Python was a British comedy troupe that did out of the box, thought-provoking, bawdy, irreverent skits on a variety of topics including politics and religion. That show has aged very well.   Politics should still be a rich source of humor.  Here’s a simple way to tell if something is genuinely funny: it will make most people laugh, smile and feel better.   Mark Twain, one of my favorite humorists wrote two of my favorite quo...

Tristan: How Trump’s second term is making history—promises made, promises kept

By George Tristan | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice It’s often said that elections have consequences; I submit this assertion expresses an undeniable truth that nearly all would attest to, regardless of one’s political persuasion. That said, how should the first six months of President Trump’s administration be objectively characterized?  Many tout it has been an unprecedented success; while others decry it has been an abysmal failure. Wherever you may sit on this continuum of opinion, what cannot be argued is whether Trump’s accomplishments, since January 20, 2025, have lived up to his 2024 campaign promises. The American electorate returned Trump back to Washington D.C., largely due to how he led over the course of his first term as the 45th POTUS. Had Trump not live...

Hemingway Says the Anti Trump Conspiracy Never Ended, More Classified Disclosures Coming

By Tim Hains | Real Clear Politics "The Federalist" editor Mollie Hemingway comments on CIA Director John Ratcliffe telling FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures" that the next declassification will open up James Comey, John Brennan, and Hillary Clinton to perjury charges over false testimony regarding "Russiagate." "People are so worried about a statute of limitations because some of the crimes that were committed were prior to five years ago," she said. "But the conspiracy is ongoing—it’s going on right now, not just with these same officials, Brennan and Obama, but also the media." MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: My reaction to what you just heard from CIA Director John Ratcliffe on your show is he actually broke some pretty major news there. We have had this week absolutely explosive ...

Banks Pressured to Cut Off Hunting and Ranching in Push for Plant-Based Agenda

By Mark Chesnut | NRA Hunters Leadership Forum We reported recently how Citibank’s apparent reversal of its punitive policy of discriminating against companies in the firearm business was a big win for American hunters as well as all other lawful gun owners in the nation. The corporation’s announcement came amid a number of efforts at both the federal and state level to ban the practice of big financial institutions discriminating against certain industries they don’t consider to be politically correct. Now the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearm industry, is sounding the alarm on a move by animal rights groups to weaponize banks and other financial institutions against animal agriculture businesses. With those animal rights groups also d...

Colorado Joins California on 2025 List of Costliest States to Live

By Jeremy Tanner | Fox40 News (NEXSTAR) – Despite President Trump’s social media declaration that “the USA is Rockin’, there is VERY LOW INFLATION,” the rising cost of living looms over many Americans, especially so in some states, according to a recent CNBC study. While inflation has cooled across many states since the highs of the pandemic, it rose in June and remains a persistent issue for residents of other states. “One of the biggest problems with inflation is that once it has burrowed into an economy, it is very difficult to rid of it,” according to the report. “Just when Federal Reserve policymakers thought they might have finally gotten the better of the inflation that gripped the U.S. economy following the pandemic, along came the specter of tariffs.” To determine whic...

Park Avenue Shooter Blamed NFL for Brain Injury Despite Never Playing

By Joe Marino, Kenneth Garger and Emily Crane | The New York Post The crazed gunman who killed an NYPD officer and three other people in a Midtown skyscraper on Monday evening was carrying a note in his pocket that expressed grievances with the NFL and claimed he suffered from CTE – a brain injury linked to head trauma, sources told The Post. Shane Tamura, 27, cited the NFL in the writings, which were found after he fatally shot himself in the chest on the 33rd floor of 345 Park Ave. – a swanky skyscraper that houses the football league’s headquarters. The mentally ill shooter wanted to shoot up the NFL HQ — but “mistakenly went up the wrong elevator banks” and ended up on a higher floor, Mayor Eric Adams confirmed Tuesday. In the ramblings, which was several pages long, Tamura...

Joondeph: When artificial intelligence becomes ideological programming

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker A computer is only as good as the data you put into it. That warning from the early days of computing -- garbage in, garbage out -- has never been more relevant than in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).  AI now drives everything from search engines to image generators, yet instead of providing objective, data-backed insights, it too often parrots progressive narratives, twisting facts to match feelings. Case in point: despite U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that over 75% of Americans identify as white, AI-generated images of “typical Americans” often show mostly non-white groups. This isn’t intelligence. It’s indoctrination, built into algorithms by ideologues in Silicon Valley. Corporate media is similar, p...

Trump lands ‘biggest of all’ trade deal with EU as bloc pledges $600B investment and $750B in U.S. energy

By Daniel Chaitin | Daily Wire Agreement was struck ahead of the August 1 deadline. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday the “biggest” trade deal of them all with the European Union (EU). Sitting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland, Trump read off a piece of paper the various major takeaways from their agreement. As part of the deal, per Trump’s description, the EU will purchase $750 billion worth of energy from the United States, agree to invest $600 billion more than the bloc is already investing, open up its countries up to trade with America, and buy a “vast amount” of military equipment. Trump also noted the tariffs for automobiles and other EU imports will be a “straight across” rate of 15%. However, he said th...

New Stanford-led study says it loud: COVID vaccines didn’t save nearly as many as reported

By Sean Salai | The Washington Times A Stanford University-led study estimates that COVID-19 vaccinations saved 2.5 million lives from 2020 to 2024, about 17 million fewer than earlier reports suggested, primarily among older adults. That’s the equivalent of one death averted for every 5,400 vaccine doses administered worldwide during the period, according to the findings published Friday in JAMA Health Forum. Official estimates say 7 million people died from the virus worldwide in those years. Led by three Stanford researchers, the study noted that 90% of the lives saved were among people 60 or older, and 82% stemmed from vaccinations administered before they tested positive for COVID-19. Lead author John P. A. Ioannidis, a Stanford epidemiologist, said the estimates...

Garbo: Treason in Plain Sight—Obama’s Coup and the Democratic Betrayal of America

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice If Tulsi Gabbard’s revelations don’t make your blood boil, you haven’t been paying attention. The coordinated deception revealed by the Director of National Intelligence is not just a scandal – it is a full-blown betrayal of the American people, engineered at the highest levels of our government. This wasn’t carelessness. It was deliberate. And it wasn’t just dirty politics. It was treason. President Barack Obama knew the truth. His top officials - James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice - knew the truth. The intelligence community found no legitimate evidence that Donald Trump colluded with Russia. But that didn’t stop them. Instead, they manufactured a lie, inflated a hoax, and fed it to a willing and corrupt media to unleash ...
