World Cup Visitors Discover Heartland Hospitality and American Traditions

By Teresa Mull | Fox News 1.24 million international visitors are expected in US for tournament, many exploring small-town culture.

World Cup matches are scheduled across the country, with Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle and the San Francisco Bay area all hosting matches.  Oxford Economics reported that 1.24 million international visitors are expected to visit America for the World Cup.  The company added that it expects the tournament w...

The captivity of grievance: A challenge to modern progressive ideology

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Undercurrent Substack The Psychological Chains Hidden Inside the Language of Compassion There are chains that can be seen. There are chains that must be discovered. The visible chain is the easier one to condemn. It clanks. It bruises. It announces itself in iron, law, lash, and blood. Chattel slavery was such an evil. It placed one man’s body under another man’s ownership and then constructed an entire moral fiction to justify the theft. It was not merely an economic system. It was a theological lie. It denied what Genesis declared at the beginning: “God created man in His own image.” That is where every serious conversation about human dignity must begin. Not with race. Not with class. Not with grievance. Not with politics. ...

What’s really true?

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice It’s not uncommon to hear someone say “live your truth” or “that’s my truth.” But, is their “truth” really true? The bible doesn’t teach — nor does common sense allow — that everyone can have and live by their own truth. Yet, many seem to have fallen into that pit. If someone’s “truth” tells them it’s okay to drink and to drive drunk…is it really true?  Of course not. If someone’s “truth” tells them a biological boy can transition to become a girl…is it really true? Again…of course not. In the past (sadly still today) many people have been captured by believing false things to be true.  What’s the harm in believing things that aren’t true, yet pretending they are?  For st...

“Look at me, not the facts”: How outrage culture drowns out truth

By Mike Hancock | Guest Commentary, Undercurrent Chants are designed to sound simple, righteous, and urgent. They compress emotion into rhythm and repetition. They feel communal. They feel moral. They feel inevitable. When shouted in unison, they create the illusion of truth through volume alone. But chants are rarely the message. They are the cover. Beneath them—almost always—lies something far more dangerous. Today’s chants may vary in wording, but they all orbit the same gravitational center: Look at me. Listen to me. Ignore the facts. That is the lie beneath the chants. And it is not accidental. On the surface, chanting projects moral urgency. It insists that something is so unjust, so unbearable, that ordinary rules must be suspended. Proces...

From Misunderstanding to Malice. Why Conservatives Finally Speak Plainly

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice For decades, many conservatives believed silence was a virtue. They assumed that if they spoke carefully, clearly, and charitably, they would be understood. When their views were mischaracterized as racist, cruel, or hateful, they often withdrew. Not because they agreed with the accusation, but because they did not want to be mistaken for something they were not. That assumption was wrong. The problem was never widespread misunderstanding by good people. The problem was intentional distortion by bad actors. Language was not being misheard. It was being weaponized. Moral accusations were not mistakes. They were tactics. Once you understand that distinction, everything changes. If your opponent is honestly...

If 2025 Had a Playlist, These Songs Would Be on It

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice This was a year that kept interrupting whatever you thought you were doing. It arrived unevenly. Some moments swallowed entire news cycles. Others barely registered at first, only making sense months later, once the consequences showed up.  Most of the arguments about 2025 focused on motives or ideology. The consequences were easier to feel than to argue about.  Music, oddly enough, ended up capturing that better than summaries or charts. Not as nostalgia or a clever hook, but as a record. If this year had a playlist, the following songs would be included. We Didn’t Start the Fire — Billy Joel Inflation wasn’t theoretical in 2025. After years of high accumulation, it continued to...

The Marxist roots of America’s racial unrest

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Michael Hancock’s Undercurrent How the Communist International weaponized race — and why its echoes still divide us today. In October 1928, the Communist International — the Moscow-based command center for global revolution — issued an extraordinary directive. Buried in the archives of the Political Secretariat of the Communist International, the document was titled “Resolution on the Negro Question in the United States.” It did not read like a humanitarian plea to end racial injustice. It read like a military plan. It declared: “The Negro working class has reached a stage of development which enables it, if properly organized and well led, to fulfill successfully its double historical mission: to play a considerable role in the class struggle ...

How early Christians stood against Rome, Part 1

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Editor’s note: After reading a recent RMV article and interview with Chris Goble, Douglas County resident Russ Minary was reminded of a devotional he first wrote in 2013 for the pastor of a large Colorado congregation. With revival on many hearts today, he is sharing it with Rocky Mountain Voice readers. This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Read Part 2 here. “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in t...

Charlie Kirk is on the ballot in 2026, as he should be.

By Tim O’Brien | Commentary, PJ Media The Charlie Kirk assassination upended a lot of the common tenets of politics, not to mention the unsaid rules of a civil society. Not too long ago, it was universally considered taboo to celebrate the death of anyone, yet thanks to social media and the Left, we’ve all seen people we know, people who teach our children and treat our health, dance and sing and celebrate a murder. The vast majority of Americans, usually silent at times like this, are feeling a percolating rage build up. Many everyday Americans have decided to channel this energy by reporting the online murder celebrants to their employers, leading to many getting fired. This is unprecedented, and it’s just the beginning.  Conservatives don’t riot in the streets an...

Charlie Kirk a Model of Faith and Courage in Public Life

By Isabel Brown | Commentary, The Daily Wire It’s not an exaggeration to say I owe everything to Charlie. Words will never be able to convey how devastated we are that Charlie Kirk was taken from us far too soon. I had the honor and privilege of not just knowing Charlie professionally as a fellow warrior in the conservative movement, but as a close friend and my most influential mentor for the past eight years. All of you know Charlie for what you saw on social media and television — a fierce fighter with strong convictions who deeply loved our country and fearlessly advocated for his vision for a stronger future. I spent a lot of time with this Charlie — speaking on college campuses and facing the crowds of protesters with a smile on our faces, staying up into all hours of the...
