Temper, temper

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The Left is having a temper tantrum over America250. The babysitters spent the last 10 to 20 years…letting the children do exactly what they wanted. The children didn’t like mommy’s and daddy’s rules. So the babysitters, rather than enforcing the time-tested rules, let the children break them. And, break the rules they did. They left behind civility, honesty and responsibility. The leftist babysitters chose not to reign-in or teach the children. They decided, not merely, to let the children break all the rules…but not to punish the rulebreakers! No more “time outs” in the corner. No more going to bed without dinner. No more having to apologize and accept responsibility for wrongdoing. The children learned…”just do what yo...

America’s 250th Anniversary and World Cup Set to Showcase American Pride to the World in 2026

By Amanda Head | Just the News Following extensive efforts during President Trump‘s first term to bring global sporting events to US soil, America’s 250th year will bring together FIFA fanatics along with a vast schedule of patriotic events in an show of patriotism. The stars have aligned for America's 250th birthday to coincide with one of the world's largest, most highly-attended sporting events. That alignment was highly influenced by the efforts of President Donald Trump during his first term in his efforts to bring the FIFA World Cup to the United States.  As America prepares for events commemorating 250 years since the July 4, 1776, signing of the Declaration of Independence, cities like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas, Miami and Atlanta will serve as ho...

The Bill of Rights was written to limit power. One civics lesson explains how.

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice “I observed… the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer,” Ben Franklin. Bill of Rights Day is often marked with references to free speech, due process and other familiar rights. Less attention is paid to the reason those protections exist at all: to place clear limits on government power. That question sits at the center of a handwritten civics lesson now being shared among homeschool students, one that walks through how the Constitution was designed to restrict government authority, including economic decision-making. Susie Dean, a homeschool civic...

Hancock: July 4 is a call to fulfill, not destroy

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Rediscovering Frederick Douglass’s Real Message Every year around this time, we dust off the words of Frederick Douglass’s famous 1852 speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?", and parade them around like fireworks—bright, dramatic, and quickly forgotten. In recent years, Douglass has been appropriated into the modern progressive narrative, a voice supposedly echoing today’s claims that America was founded as a white supremacist project, rooted not in liberty but in racial hierarchy. That’s the popular takeaway. But that’s not Douglass’s message. Not even close. Douglass’s words, when read in full, don’t damn the Constitution or the founding ideals—they uphold them. He doesn't condemn the Declaration of Independence as a fr...

Beezley: July 4, 1776 was one perfect moment—for liberty and for mankind

By Don Beezley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice After thousands of years of struggle through oppression and tyranny, there was one perfect moment in human history on a hot, summer day in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: July 4, 1776. On that date the Second American Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of the thirteen United States of America–the American Declaration of Independence.  The crowning achievement of the Enlightenment in a one-page document. The Declaration of Independence represents the one moment in history when we got it right. One perfect moment derived from a morally perfect vision. The words on that parchment may fade with time, but its immortal ideas amplify and reverberate through the annals of time: We hold these truths to be sel...

Dr. Krannawitter: The Declaration—not slogans—is our anti-king document

By Thomas L. Krannawitter, Ph.D. | Commentary, Substack The American Revolution launched the greatest anti-king and anti-slavery movements, at the same time, and for the same principled reasons. Let me see if I understand: Progressives who insist on “No Kings” demand presidents—and an entire federal government apparatus—be constrained by the Constitution progressives have spent decades mocking, undermining, and ignoring? And the same progressives who warn against monarchical power happily support millions of unelected, unionized bureaucrats issuing and enforcing their own “regulations” that have binding power of law over citizens, even though regulations are not laws? No Kings Remember, the United States was born out of a fiery rebellion against a king and a d...
