Joondeph: What would our Founding Founders think? An Independence Day reality check

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports As we lit sparklers and grilled burgers this Fourth of July, a new Rasmussen Reports poll provided a sobering dose of reality. Only 36% of Americans believe the Founding Fathers would see today’s America as a success. Forty-one percent (41%) think they’d view it as a failure, and the rest aren’t sure. That’s not just political frustration speaking. It’s a warning sign that something has gone off course. The ideals that launched our republic, including liberty, limited government, and personal responsibility, seem more like museum relics than guiding principles. Picture Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, men who risked everything on the idea that a free people could govern themselves. They didn’t agree on everything, ...

HHS shuts door on illegal immigrants’ access to taxpayer-funded benefits

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News “For too long, the government has diverted hardworking Americans’ tax dollars to incentivize illegal immigration,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said The Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday banned illegal immigrants from accessing the agency's taxpayer-funded benefits. Since 1998, HHS has interpreted the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to let illegal immigrants use certain federal public benefits, according to the department. On Thursday, HHS announced that it has formally rescinded the interpretation that began under the Clinton administration. “For too long, the government has diverted hardworking Americans’ tax dollars to incentivize illegal immigration,” HHS Secretary Robe...

Garbo: The Hippocratic Oath demands compassion—even for MAGA voters suffering from Texas floods

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The moment Dr. Christina B. Propst chose to mock flood-stricken Texans as “getting what they voted for,” she exposed a depth of moral bankruptcy that defies belief. In a now-deleted Facebook post under the name “Chris Tina,” she wished safety only for “children, non-MAGA voters and pets,” while implying that political affiliation should determine who deserves compassion amid a deadly disaster.  Her employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, acted swiftly to dismiss her. But firing her is only the first step in addressing a breach that demands far stronger accountability. Propst’s remarks struck at the heart of medical ethics.  Every physician takes an oath to treat patients impartially, regardless of background or belie...

GOP lawmakers demand end to taxpayer-funded dog and cat experimentation at NIH

By Hannah Knudsen | Breitbart Several Republican House members, led by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), are demanding the termination of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding going toward cruel experiments on dogs and cats. In a letter penned to NIH Director Jayanta Bhattacharya, reviewed by Breitbart News, lawmakers raise the issue highlighted by the taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste Project (WCW), which has demonstrated that NIH “continues to renew and fund dozens of Dr. Fauci’s disturbing experiments on dogs and cats in labs around the world, in which animals are infested with insects, infected with viruses, forcefed experimental drugs, and killed.” “As Congress begins its work to implement the Trump Administration’s request for a 40 percent cut to the National Institutes of Heal...

DOE report warns of blackout risk soaring amid push to shut conventional power

By Paul Gerke, Kevin Clark | Power Engineering The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) began the week following Independence Day with a bang, releasing a report that the status quo is unsustainable for the U.S. electric grid. According to DOE, blackout risks in 2030 could be 100 times higher if the U.S. keeps shutting down conventional power plants. According to DOE’s analysis, the grid will not be able to sustain an estimated 104 gigawatts (GW) of baseload generation retirements by 2030 and isn’t prepared to meet the growth in electricity demand driven by data centers and artificial intelligence (AI). The DOE expects an additional 100 GW of new peak-hour supply to be needed by then; half of that growth is directly attributable to data centers. The United States has more tha...

Comey, Brennan under FBI criminal investigation for Trump-Russia origins

By Victor Nava | New York Post Former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey are being investigated for potential criminal conduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.  The criminal referral involving Brennan was passed to the FBI by current CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.  The investigation into the Obama-era spy chief involves allegations that he made false statements to Congress and is currently underway.  It’s unclear if the FBI’s probe into Brennan, one of 51 intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop could be Russian disinformation, encompasses more than his alleged false testimony to lawmakers.  Meanwhile, the specific nature of the...

O’Donnell: The Strategic Plan that turned patriots into suspects remains unresolved

By Mike O’Donnell | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In April of this year, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified a June 2021 plan by the previous Biden administration to counter domestic terrorism. During his four-year term, President Biden repeatedly stated that “Domestic terrorism from white supremacists is the most lethal terrorist threat in the homeland.” Variations on this catchphrase were parroted by other senior politicians in the Biden circle—although never with any corroborating evidence. The declassified 15-page document, titled the Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism, was intended to confront this supposedly lethal threat. This came even as the administration simultaneously opened the gates at the southern ...

Brown: Why the Left Fears Women Who Choose Family

By Isabel Brown | Commentary, The Daily Signal If there’s one thing the corporate media hates more than tradition, it’s motherhood. We’ve seen it time and again, from the glossy magazine covers glorifying “child-free” living to the snide late-night jokes about “breeders” and “stay-at-home moms.” It’s no longer subtle. The war on motherhood is loud, proud, and broadcast 24/7 across every major platform. And make no mistake—this isn’t just about personal choice. It’s a coordinated cultural campaign to devalue perhaps women’s most essential role: being a mother. While I’ve always been aware of this assault on motherhood, it became increasingly clear to me after I found out I was pregnant last fall. Suddenly, this wasn’t an abstract concept, but very real propaganda attempting to conv...

Democrat Lawmakers Warn: Our Own Base Is Demanding Violence

By Byron York | The Washington Examiner DISTURBING GLIMPSES OF DEMOCRATIC ANGER. We know many Democrats were stunned when Donald Trump won a second term as president. We know many are still angry about it. But we’re just now learning how angry some of them are. It’s not just grandstanding Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Axios reports that “at town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists,” Crockett’s more centrist Democratic House colleagues are “facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.” “Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough,” said one Democratic lawmaker (out of nine) quoted in the Axios article. “Some of them have suggested …...

DiGirolamo: The new Terminator is disguised as your teen’s ‘AI boyfriend’

By John DiGirolamo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Make The Terminator fiction again. Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that the movie was released in 1984. The Hollywood hit focused on the sinister power of artificial intelligence in the form of a killer cyborg robot who looked human.  With billions of online images, AI can use that data to easily generate realistic-looking people. It’s difficult to tell the difference between an AI created image vs. a real person. Unfortunately, people are using this powerful technology to exploit children, all while sitting in the comfort of their own chair.  Artificial intelligence has already wreaked havoc on today’s children. Digitally generated or altered images are commonly known as “deepfakes.” Here’s some examples of how ...
