When Justice Becomes Partisan, Freedom Dies

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Picture, for a moment, a reversal of roles. Suppose a radical on the right assassinated one of the most visible voices on the left in front of live cameras. Imagine if, after that horror, crowds of conservatives cheered, called for more, and excused the violence as justified. Picture further attacks - one shouting slogans, another storming a newsroom, a sniper targeting a Planned Parenthood clinic - and all of them part of an ongoing pattern.  Would there be any question how the left would react? Their calls for action would be immediate, sweeping, and relentless. This thought experiment matters because it exposes a double standard. Violence should not be judged by the ideology of the perpetrator. Violence is viole...

Councilwoman accused of welfare fraud resigns in Fountain

By Savannah Eller | The Gazette Fountain City Councilwoman Detra Duncan announced her resignation Tuesday. The councilwoman has been accused of public assistance fraud dating back years, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Gazette. Duncan said in a statement to the city that her resignation was not an admission of wrongdoing. “While I firmly believe in the integrity of my service and my commitment to the residents of Fountain, I also recognize that recent circumstances have cast a shadow over my ability to serve effectively. The people of our community deserve leadership that can govern without distraction or doubt,” she wrote. According to the affidavit filed in June, investigators with the El Paso and Jefferson County Departments of Human Services allegedl...

FBI insider’s China connections spark new concerns over Biden-linked leaks

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just The News The former FBI official who leaked details of a criminal investigation to a Chinese company with a relationship with a Hunter Biden client was over the years involved in a wide range of investigations, from Wikileaks to Crossfire Hurricane. It remains to be seen which ones may have been tainted. The since-convicted FBI counterintelligence leader, who leaked information about a criminal investigation into a Chinese company linked to Hunter Biden’s business efforts, had previously played what he claimed in his defense to have had supervisory roles in a wide range of investigations. Charles McGonigal, now known to have leaked sensitive information to China-linked targets of an FBI investigation he was helping oversee, played a role in a host of other...

RFK Jr. targeted by Pharma’s $2 million lobbying blitz, memo shows

By Ethan Fowler | National File A resurfaced leaked memo from the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), first revealed by Brownstone Institute, April 2025, details a $2 million campaign to lobby Congress for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s removal as HHS Secretary, highlighting Big Pharma’s ongoing desperation amid his MAHA reforms. As Kennedy’s regulatory push intensifies, this old plot—now recirculated by Malone—exposes the industry’s fear of accountability, blending fear-mongering and surrogate influence in a bid to preserve profits over public health. Why it matters: This memo underscores Big Pharma’s corrupt grip on health policy, where billions in vaccine profits clash with Kennedy’s drive for transparency and safety—threatening to unravel a system built on sho...

Pueblo Coroner Resigns After Decomposed Bodies Found at Mortuary

By Ashley Eberhardt | KDVR Fox 31 PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KXRM) — Pueblo County Coroner Brian Cotter has resigned just over a week after the discovery of at least 24 bodies stored improperly at the mortuary he co-owned, Davis Mortuary. In a letter released by the Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners, Cotter’s legal counsel explained that Cotter was “hospitalized for a cardiac event” following the discovery during the Department of Regulatory Agencies’ inspection on Aug. 20. Numerous state and local officials have called for Cotter to resign, including Colorado Governor Jared Polis. After a week had passed without Cotter’s resignation, a process to recall him from office in a recall election was estimated to cost just under half a million dollars. Cotter’s resignation is ef...

By Brian Maass | CBS Colorado Ten of Denver's 13 city council members are planning to attend a $26,000, two night, one day retreat in Colorado's foothills next week for team building and professional development, at the same time the city is laying off workers and trying to find ways to cut costs and save money.

The math doesn’t lie: America’s election system is broken—and the regime desperately wants it that way

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice America is being held hostage - not by a foreign power, not by a virus, not by some spontaneous national confusion. We are being held hostage by a corrupt, coordinated regime that seized the machinery of government, media, and elections in order to protect its own power and suppress anyone who threatens it. President Trump’s effort to eliminate mail-in ballots and electronic voting machines is not just about election integrity. It is about breaking the stranglehold of a panicked ruling class whose crimes are catching up to them. This regime will do anything to maintain control. It has to. Because if they lose power, they lose protection. And if they lose protection, the entire house of cards collapses. Statistical Impossibili...

Denver wasted millions on homeless shelter that never housed anyone

By Noah Festenstein | The Denver Gazette After not housing a single homeless person, Denver’s $9 million purchase of a former hotel planned as a new homeless shelter is set to be sold off again — well over two years after its initial purchase, according to Denver’s Department of Housing Stability. The city’s new price tag? Just $10. That is, of course, if an interested developer is willing to continue transforming 12033 E. 38th Avenue, a former Stay Inn hotel, into a shelter providing “supportive” homeless services, according to stipulations set by HOST. “To make this financially viable, the property will be sold for $10 — a strategic move that reflects our commitment to long-term affordability rather than short-term financial returns,” spokesperson Julia Marvin told The D...

The man Polis vowed to destroy: Kevin Kauffman’s final fight for truth and legacy

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice They tried to bury him. He’s still standing—with the paperwork to prove it. On his 50th birthday, Kevin Kauffman stood waist-deep in the waters off Eilat, Israel. His son handed him a sealed envelope his accountant asked him to deliver on this day. He opened it, read what was inside and stood in silence. It wasn’t just a numerical milestone in that envelope—it carried the weight of a life built by a self-made man. Kauffman had earned every cent the hard way, guided by mentors, not inheritance.  What he saw didn’t make him feel powerful. It made him reflect. “The achievement led me to a deeply felt realization—I had a responsibility to my family and my community,” Kauffman said. “So I started thinking about how to give some of it ba...

DEVINE: Democrats Brace as Russiagate Cover-Up Unravels in Public View

By Miranda Devine | Commentary, New York Post Despite the best efforts of Russiagate-complicit media to dismiss as “Russian disinformation” the latest revelations in this escalating scandal implicating President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the treasonous “years-long coup” against President Trump, the public is paying attention and wants heads to roll. According to a Rasmussen poll released Monday, nearly two-thirds of voters (65%) are following declassified releases over the past month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) “very closely” (32%) or “somewhat closely” (33%), repudiating the calculated media silence about the Obama administration’s fake narratives and manipulation of intelligence to frame Trump as a Kremlin ...
