Devotional: Where did God come from?

By Drake Hunter | Contributing Commentator, Rocky Mountain Voice Have you ever found yourself captivated by God's existence? It's a question that has intrigued and perplexed many, regardless of their religious beliefs. Let's momentarily set aside religious texts and embark on a journey of contemplation. Whether you are a devout believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, I invite you to delve into a fresh perspective on this timeless question. Imagine this – a serene drive through the Fort Morgan, Colorado, cemetery, with my curious granddaughter Lilly in the backseat. At this moment, she asked, "Papa, where did God come from?" This poignant question led me to a thought-provoking insight I hold dear – a perspective inspired by Dr. Kent Hovind in my journey of love, faith, and ho...

Kittle: Which Joe Biden will show up to debate Trump?

By M.D. KITTLE | The Federalist It’s debate day. Insanely early (the contestants have yet to be nominated), but debate day nonetheless.  It’s Rocky versus Apollo. The rematch. Or more like Rocky versus Mickey — if Rocky’s elderly trainer had been reduced to a senile stooge in the throes of dementia, better suited for an assisted living facility than the boxing ring. But we’ve been told ad nauseam by President Joe Biden’s handlers and his corporate media public-relations firm that the Democrat is ready for the rhetorical fight with a bare-knuckle brawler. After all, young Joe Biden once went toe to toe with a Delaware gang leader. Corn Pop was a “bad dude,” Biden told us. A bad dude with a blade. But he backed down upon seeing Joe armed with ...

Boll: Local media demonizes engaged conservative community members

By Laureen Boll | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice I’m quite close to recent events happening at the Douglas County School Board, given my role as a parent advocacy leader in Douglas County and being a parent of two children whose K-12 years were spent in Douglas County School District (DCSD). Much of my role as a parent advocate is monitoring laws and regulations against the rights of individuals upheld by the U.S. Constitution, and speaking up when it appears that the rights of parents and/or students are being violated by the government, in this case taxpayer-funded schools.  The Douglas County School District recently updated its Nondiscrimination/Equal Opportunity policy to incorporate a new state statute titled “Concerning Protections for Students Against Discrimin...

Barnhart: Two years ago, today, Supreme Court ruled favorably in the Dobbs case

By Faye Barnhart | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice It has been two years since the seemingly impossible happened with the overturn of Roe v. Wade in the historic Dobbs decision. Taking a similar course to slavery in the United States, the Supreme Court had made an overarching dismissal of all 50 states laws that previous to 1973 limited or outlawed abortion in all the states. Even in Colorado -- the first notorious state for allowing abortion -- it was originally limited to 16 weeks and needed a three-panel of doctors and the permission of the husband. As archaic as that may sound, it shows how compromising with evil has gotten us to where we are today, where more than 2,000 children are legally tortured to death every month in Colorado, from conception through all nine months ...

Blackmon: Supreme Court has a chance to torch one of the Left’s favorite legal tactics

By David Blackmon | Daily Caller From fuel emissions standards to gas-powered vehicle bans to far-reaching climate disclosure rules, states like California are constantly testing how far state laws can go in shaping national climate policy. But for nearly a decade, activists and leftwing lawmakers have simultaneously pursued a backdoor strategy that seeks to use state courtrooms, not state or national legislatures, to sue oil and natural gas companies into ceasing production and accomplishing their goal of shutting down American energy. Less flashy EV mandates and offshore wind subsidies, the barrage of suits filed against energy companies has flown under the public’s radar. That might be about to change: If a single one of these cases is successful, Americans across the country...

Vespa: It’s Trump’s debate to lose

By Matt Vespa | TownHall.com No wonder why the Biden team departed so early to Camp David for debate preparation. The White House summoned all the top Democratic strategists and advisers to ready the president as best they could against former President Donald Trump. Before they could review any of their attack lines or soundbites touting this administration's little legislative record, they need to ensure Biden can stand for at least 90 minutes. That’s not a good thing for a president we’ve been told is vivacious, a night owl, and sharp as a tack:  Some in the media have already tried to make the point that these debates are unfair to Biden. I’m not kidding; MSNBC played the ‘obstacles so high’ card to defend the president of the United States. It’s unfair for the president to debat...

McGuire: What does the Student Intifada want?

By Steven McGuire | City Journal With few exceptions, college and university presidents were slow and ineffective in responding to the protests and encampments on their campuses this spring. Their passivity calls to mind the character Gottlieb Biedermann in Max Frisch’s play The Fire Raisers, who, hearing about a series of local arsons, refuses to believe that the men who manipulated their way into occupying his attic could be the perpetrators. Deceived by feelings of guilt, Biedermann is unwilling to throw the men out or believe that they are dangerous—even when they tell him exactly what they are doing. Remaining in denial to the end, he hands them the very matches they use to incinerate his home. Too often, when faced with the fervent demands and outlandish behavior of studen...

Davidson: The need for the Electoral College as illustrated by baseball

By Jeff Davidson | TownHall.com Democrats are upset when a Republican who did not win the popular vote is elected president by virtue of winning at least 270 electoral votes. This happened most recently in 2000 and 2016. I would be upset if the tables were turned.  Nevertheless, the need for the Electoral College is often misunderstood. Volumes have been written about the process. An easy way to understand it involves reviewing the results of baseball’s 1960 World Series – yes, you read this correctly. In the 1960 World Series, the New York Yankees had sluggers such as Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, Hector Lopez, Tony Kubek, and Bill Skowron. They established an American League home run record that year: 193. The Yankees also had a tremendous pitching staff led by fu...

Reichert: The military’s biggest problem is readiness, not recruiting

By PHILIP REICHERT | The Federalist The ongoing military recruiting crisis has dominated headlines, with the Army, Air Force, and Navy all falling short of their goals last year. Concerns over readiness and talent attraction are widespread, even being a core focus of this year’s Heritage Foundation index of military strength. However, attributing the recruiting crisis to “woke culture” or inadequate benefits misses a more intuitive root cause: Without a just war to ignite our patriotism, Americans are not in a rush to enlist. But recruiting soldiers isn’t the real issue; it’s the readiness of our military infrastructure that should alarm us. Gen. Patton once said, “Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.” The statement captu...
