A Nation Mourns: The Unthinkable Murder of Charlie Kirk and the Politics of Silence

By C.J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A national moral collapse. A political crime worse than any before. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk stood at Utah Valley University. He manned his “Prove Me Wrong” table. He invited students to debate. Then a gunshot rang out. He recoiled. He collapsed. He bled. He died. We don’t yet know the full outcome.

Joondeph: Democrats stand for Ukraine but sit for America

Democrats need only a few more House seats to hinder President Trump’s final two years in office and will seek to impeach him daily until he leaves in January 2029.Trump’s first month in office has been like a wrecking ball, disastrous for the entrenched ruling class and administrative state. The unavoidable chaos resulting from dismantling a massive bureaucracy, exacerbated by corporate media gaslighting, could tilt enough midterm votes to flip at least one house of Congress to the Democrats.That’s the likely scenario, assuming Democrats present a compelling and attractive alternative agen...
