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...

Shape the future of energy: AGNC survey calls for community voices in Northwest Colorado

By Jen Schumann | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice As Colorado’s coal plants close and the state pivots to new energy solutions, the future of Northwest Colorado’s economy hangs in the balance. The Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado (AGNC) is leading an effort to ensure rural communities play a central role in shaping this transition. At the heart of this initiative is a public survey, open through September 16, 2024, giving residents the chance to voice their preferences on energy sources and help guide the region's future. With coal once providing stable jobs and affordable energy, the challenge now is to identify new paths that protect both livelihoods and local economies. Building on strong foundations The Northwest Colorado Energy Initiative (NCEI), operating...

Colorado conservatives face get-out-the-vote gap as election looms

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice With just over 50 days remaining before a critical election, Colorado's conservatives are grappling with a major organizational gap in their get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts. Internal battles over leadership have left the state party in limbo, while national political grassroots groups—typically a key source of support—are largely absent. Despite some outside help for two congressional races, the lack of coordinated efforts has left conservative activists and volunteers across Colorado asking: How can they make a difference with so little time left? This disconnection comes at a frustrating moment for many conservative voters, who feel that Colorado’s increasingly blue voting trends have diminished the state’s role in national elections. Without ...

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...

From communism to Colorado: Barbora Hurd’s call for freedom with Mesa County GOP Women

By Jen Schumann | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice At the Mesa County Republican Women's monthly luncheon, Barbora Hurd, originally from Czechoslovakia, shared what a childhood under Communism was like. It took her seven years to become a U.S. citizen, after marrying 3rd District U.S. House Republican nominee Jeff Hurd. For Barbora, living in a country where hard work leads to achieving dreams is worth fighting for. Living Under Communism Barbora recalled: “I was born and grew up behind the Iron Curtain. This meant that we, as citizens, had no freedom of speech or expression. No freedom of religion or worship. We had no free press. We were not free to move. And we had no freedom to assemble.” Hurd quoted Czech ex-president Vaclav Havel on life under communism: “Because the ...

Rocky Mountain Rumble slated for Sept. 15 at Wide Open Saloon

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice A who's who of Colorado politics will assemble Sunday, Sept. 15, for the Rocky Mountain Rumble at the Wide Open Saloon in Sedalia. Republican nominees for the U.S. House will be joined by Heidi Ganahl, formerly a Republican candidate for Colorado governor and founder of Rocky Mountain Voice, during the Rocky Mountain Rumble. Confirmed speakers include U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, John Fabbricatore and Valdamar Archuleta. Also attending will be Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinski, who has been at the forefront of exposing the Venezuelan gang takeover of apartments in Aurora. Boebert presently serves in Colorado's 3rd District in the U.S. House, but is seeking election in the 4th District, the most Republican leaning district in Colorado. F...

Control of U.S. House likely to come down to 24 races, one of which is in Colorado

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Control of the U.S. House of Representatives will most likely come down to an estimated 24 toss up seats in November, according to the Cook Political Report ratings. Only one of those seats is in Colorado: the battleground 8th District pitting incumbent Democrat Yadira Caraveo against Republican Gabe Evans. Last week, Evans collected the support of the Libertarian who was in the race, which could mean a 2-3% swing in the outcome. The race was rated "even" prior to the announcement by the Cook Political Report. If Evans can win the seat, it would provide Republicans with a "plus-one" in the U.S. House. It would also likely give Republicans a split of Colorado's congressional delegation. In order to control the U.S. House, a party must hold at ...

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...

Retort that Tren de Aragua claims are ‘racially motivated’ is untrue, Fabbricatore says on F&F

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The retort that claims of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua's activity in Aurora are just racially motivated accusations is untrue, John Fabbricatore said on Fox & Friends Weekend. "The governor has said it is racially motivated. Congressman Jason Crow has said it is racially motivated," Fabbricatore told the Fox & Friends host. "This is not racially motivated. These are things that are actually happening. People are actually being hurt and they're not doing anything about it. They would rather put it back on us and spin it toward a racial aspect." The former regional ICE director in Colorado has been consistent with his criticism of police leadership. "The police department needs to do something," he told Fox &...
