Caldara: Taxpayers foolishly subsidized my new electric car

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado I want to thank the taxpayers of Colorado for my brand-new car. Really, thanks to each and every one of you dupes. You see, I have never in my 60 years had a brand new, off-the-lot automobile. Instead, I buy used, and I mean really used, cars and drive them until they drop. Out of college I bought a sexy $500 Datsun 210 and sold it eight years later for $950. My current beater is a 2010 Nissan Altima. I bought it with 95,000 miles for $6,000. It now has over 200,000 miles and still going strong. I drive ugly, old used cars. Why do I drive these cars? Simply, because I know what women like. While they’ll rarely admit it out loud, when a woman sees a bald man tooling around town in a 15-year-old rusted-out Japanese car she can’t help...

Daniel: A brighter future for Colorado will be lead through innovation, not big government

By Bobbie Daniel | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado faces a declining economic reality: high inflation, soaring gas prices, stagnant wages, rising unemployment and an increasingly unaffordable housing market. Yet, this does not have to define our future. Colorado stands at the brink of a transformative innovation revival, fueled by our abundant natural resources, innovative spirit and entrepreneurial drive. By embracing these strengths, we can lead the nation into a future that balances conservation stewardship with economic prosperity. To achieve this, we must move away from heavy-handed government control and toward systems that reward innovation, empower communities and unlock the full potential of our state’s resources. Progress has always been driven by innovation...

Sullivan: Getting real news is a journey of truthful context, allowing citizens to make informed decisions

By Michael Quinn Sullivan | Commentary, Texas Scorecard Most of what passes for “news” today is little more than warmed-over propaganda designed to serve the ruling elite. The foolishly described “mainstream” media (there is nothing “mainstream” about them) are shills for the far left. At the same time, many of the seemingly “conservative” outlets pander to whichever moderate Republican officeholder tickles their ears. Citizens deserve better. Here is how I define news: the facts of the day told in their truthful context, allowing citizens to make informed decisions. Every single citizen is, or can be, a journalist. Journalism is the purposeful activity of gathering relevant information and presenting it in a straightforward manner without deceit, manipulation, or unnecessary jarg...

Sloan: Who is really a threat to the U.S. Constitution?

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice There remains a great deal of amusement to be had at the expense of our friends on the left who continue, at D-Day-plus-one month, with eruptions of hysteria at the realization that more Americans preferred the specter of life under Donald Trump to that of one under Kamala Harris. Disappointment is understandable; pointed criticism is good, even necessary to democratic hygiene in a free society, but here and there we see examples of feverishness bumping against the boundaries of madness, even among experienced journalists who ought to know better -- or at least ought to possess the awareness to self-regulate. Ruth Marcus’ job description tells you all you need to know about her ideological persuasions. She is a columni...

Dr. Joondeph: Presidential polling postmortem winners and losers

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Election 2024 is in the rearview mirror. Pollsters won’t be bombarding voters anymore. Today’s entertainment is liberal heads exploding on social media or the latest Democrat threatening - but not actually following through on - everything from drinking cyanide to setting themselves on fire to leaving the country if Donald Trump won the election. So far, few have followed through on their promises, although a handful have left the country. Good riddance to them. Trump did win, bigly, in a landslide of sorts. He won the Electoral College handily, 312 to 226. Trump also won the popular vote, 49.9% to 48.3%. As a divided country, the popular vote will always be close. Thus, in 1980, w...

Devotional: Mercy in the power of a pardon must be rooted in truth

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The words "pardon" and "mercy" beautifully complement each other, leading to profound consequences and uplifting experiences. Recent discussions on political pardons reveal the true essence of mercy and underscore the importance of seeking forgiveness in line with God's principles, rather than the selfish and dishonest routes often seen in human behavior. Mercy is a vital manifestation of God’s love, and it has the power to transform lives. The key lies in having faith in God’s mercy to comprehend real mercy and recognize when pardon is justifiable.  President Joe Biden and I share a common experience — not in political views, but in the challenge of having sons who can be foolish and come from privileged backgrounds. My son,...

Garbo: The aftermath of COVID-19, a profound failure of leadership, media and accountability

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The House Oversight & Accountability Committee’s After-Action Review of the COVID-19 pandemic, released on Dec. 2, presents a scathing indictment of the government’s, media’s and political organizations’ handling of the crisis. It exposes systemic failures, deceptions and outright betrayals that exacerbated the suffering of millions. This report not only lays bare the consequences of incompetence and political agendas but also raises the unsettling question: Did fear and ignorance drive this failure, or was it a calculated assault on the American people? The revelation that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, should shake the very foundations of public trust in our institutions. For years, the medi...

Lee and Lundberg: A call to get involved with Protect Kids Colorado

By Erin Lee and Kevin Lundberg | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Protect Kids Colorado (PKC) first launched earlier this year with two citizen initiatives to address the harm being caused by gender ideology in our public schools. Along with several other strong community leaders, we worked overtime to stand up a permanent organization that will protect kids in Colorado from the dangers of transgender ideology through education, citizen initiatives and aggressive oversight of state and local legislation. Our two initiatives that would have simply kept biological males out of girls sports and informed parents when their child has been transitioned in public schools did not make the ballot – not this year anyway. However, hundreds of Coloradans have stepped up to work wit...

Raleigh: By pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden gave himself a pass

By Helen Raleigh | Commentary, Helen Raleigh Substack By pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden gave himself a pass for being a failed parent and a corrupt politician. My dad always tells me he loves me unconditionally, but that doesn't mean he will co-sign all my behaviors. One of the fundamental responsibilities of a parent is to teach your child right from wrong, and sometimes such teaching involves discipline, which we commonly refer to as tough love. Hebrews 12:11 reminds all parents, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those trained by it." Where Biden failed as a parent is that he either didn't understand or was unwilling to practice tough love. Instead, he equated co-signing H...

West: ‘No one is above the law,’ unless…

By Lt. Col. Allen West (ret.) | Commentary, American Constitutional Rights Union Yea, without a doubt, this is the topic de jour, perhaps for the week. In the waning days of the Biden administration, Joe Biden went against his very own words and pardoned his son, Hunter. How many times did we have to hear Biden and his White House mouthpiece, Karinne Jean-Pierre, state that “no one is above the law?” Well, that is true unless you are aligned with the progressive socialist left. And what is even more disconcerting is the comprehensive nature of this pardon…it covers anything over the past 10 years. And to witness Joe Biden doing this and then hopping on a plane to Angola. Just to remind everyone, Hunter Biden, who thought he would get some sugar plea deal, was found guilty of federal ...
