Barnhart: Abortion is Not Healthcare

By Faye Barnhart | Guest Columnist Abortion is not healthcare. Abortion intentionally tortures a child to death. Abortion violates a mother's body to rip away her child by unnaturally stretching her cervix or putting her into preterm labor and painfully dismembering her child or poisoning, starving, or scalding her child so that she delivers a dead baby. There is nothing healthy or caring about that. Abortion is the opposite of healthcare in that it intentionally causes death and unnecessary pain and suffering. There is no reason to intentionally take away the life of a child. Natural childbirth or Caesarean section intended to save the child’s life are safer for mother, too. It is more dangerous for a mother to deliver a dead baby than a living one, as the living child helps posi...

Devotional: Believe to understand, never the other way around!

By Drake Hunter | Guest Columnist Living life is a journey that can be challenging at times; understanding it can be pretty mind-boggling. It requires belief and faith to guide us through the ups and downs of reality, especially in the worst times. To truly understand, we must first have a belief system that allows us to see the bigger picture and its deeper meaning. Instead of just relying on logic, reasoning, and Intelligence Quotient (IQ), we must have faith in something greater than ourselves to guide our actions and decisions. This way, we can live in profound truth and use and experience Spiritual Quotient (SQ). Remember, it's not always about understanding everything; instead, it's about believing and having faith in something that can help us navigate anything that comes o...

Devotional: Where does strength come from in trying times?

By Drake Hunter | Guest Columnist On January 3, 2024, my wife, Sherrie, received a diagnosis that turned our reality upside down and changed our lives forever. She was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and the news was devastating and incredibly difficult to process. We now face a testing journey of love, resilience, and faith in ways we never imagined. Many have asked how we cope with such a dreadful experience, and the answer is simple: strength. This strength comes from our belief in God, who is forever strong and gives us the courage to face any challenge. We believe in the Mighty God (El Gibbor, Isaiah 9:2-7), who is strong yesterday, today, and forever. Like Sherrie and me, this strength is available to anyone who "Just Believes!" As I write these words, my wife is go...

Miltimore: Sen. Rand Paul exposes the ‘Great Covid Cover-up’

By Jon Miltimore | The Foundation for Economic Education In an explosive new op-ed, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed that at least 15 separate federal agencies knew that attempts to create a COVID-19-like coronavirus were being undertaken at the Wuhan Institute of Virology as early as January 2018. Yet, heads of these agencies did not reveal this information to the public; for years, they actively refused to release information on the project to lawmakers such as Paul, who were attempting to provide congressional oversight. “For years, I have been fighting to obtain records from dozens of federal agencies relating to the origins of COVID-19 and the DEFUSE project,” wrote Paul, who in March revealed he was formally launching a bipartisan investigation into the...

Raleigh: Democrats’ systemic normalization of property theft birthed America’s squatter crisis

By HELEN RALEIGH | The Federalist Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said last week that squatters have “no rights.” He should try to convince his Democrat colleagues and their far-left allies because their systemic effort to normalize property theft has led to the unprecedented squatter crisis in America. Their ultimate goal is to destroy property rights and replace capitalism with socialism. Squatting is a form of trespassing as squatters use properties without the owners’ permission or any legal documentation. Nor do squatters offer property owners financial compensation. Atlanta, Georgia, is the epicenter of the squatter crisis. Squatters have overtaken about 1,200 homes. One of the victimized homeowners, Lt. Col. Dahlia Daure, said she felt “violated” after ...

Caldara: Colorado legislature is the real threat to democracy

By Jon Caldara | Complete Colorado Every conversation about the Colorado state legislature should begin with this preface: “And these are the people who say Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. …” The legislature is moving forward with a bill to rip away direct elections of the Regional Transportation District Board (RTD), which encompasses the largest population of any local government in the state. Yes, they are willing to allow a couple of “window dressing” elected seats to “represent” the 3 million suckers in the Denver metro area, while minion political appointees seize control of the state’s largest local government. But the goal is clear: end taxation with representation. And these are the people who say Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. READ THE FULL...

Miltimore: New study calls into question whether DEI programs really boost corporate earnings

By Jon Miltimore | The Foundation for Economic Education It’s safe to say that diversity, equity, and inclusion is one of the more controversial ideas of our time (and a multibillion-dollar industry). Some such as Elon Musk argue that DEI — which definitionally speaking means addressing structural inequalities in society — constitutes blatant racism. Others contend that DEI is simply about creating more equitable and harmonious workplaces, and offers clear financial benefits to companies, as well. “Study after study has proved that diverse companies perform better than their more homogeneous counterparts,” Inc. reported in 2023. “Companies that don’t foster an inclusive environment or prioritize diversity initiatives do so at their own peril.” ...

Sullivan: No, they are not ‘mainstream’

By Michael Quinn Sullivan | Texas Scorecard We often hear people refer to the collection of leftist newspapers and television networks that once held sway over the dissemination of facts and opinions as the “mainstream media.” In fact, there is nothing “mainstream” about them. By definition, the dying legacy outlets are NOT mainstream. The clearest evidence for this is found in their declining sales, diminishing market penetration, and nonexistent economic viability. If the newspapers and networks that get so casually labeled “mainstream” actually were, they wouldn’t be laying off staff as their circulations and viewerships plummet. Texas newspapers, for example, have fewer readers today than ever before, despite the massive surge in the state’s population. Sure, they...

Sloan: Speaker Mike Johnson has chance to lead on Ukraine

Kelly Sloan | Special Contributor, The Rocky Mountain Voice House Speaker Mike Johnson is experiencing a defining moment in his career. As Congress resumes, he seems to have successfully – one hopes – hammered out a workable deal to finally get arms flowing to the Ukrainians as their defense starts to falter. Effective support for Ukraine’s defence is the central foreign policy question facing Western leaders today. There are, of course, no shortage of serious foreign policy dilemmas – one could toss a dart at a world map and chances are pretty good that wherever it lands there is some kind of trouble brewing – but it is difficult to understate the importance of Ukraine. The Israelis are tough and will likely prevail with or without American support (though how much better for our ow...

Editorial: Trump abortion policy a turn toward state’s rights

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board The issue: President Donald Trump this week announced his abortion policy, favoring states independently deciding how to regulate abortion. We say: Regardless of your position on abortion, this view respects the concept of state's rights written into the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by the Founding Fathers, and is a respectful position for freedom and liberty. The Founding Fathers of a young nation they called the United States of America never had the intention for an over-intrusive federal government to create a nanny state, where our every action is regulated and legislated. We were to be an independent, free people; a republic, if we could keep it. In the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the final entry into the Bil...
