The creativity weapon: Loving the crooked man

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice When I was little, one of my favorite people ever was Grandma Ivy, still is. She wasn't famous. She never stood behind a pulpit or wrote a book. But she was a superhero. During many of my toddler and elementary years, she was my guardian, my safe place, and my greatest teacher. Like so many grandmothers, she had a way of turning ordinary moments into lasting memories. One of those memories was a simple nursery rhyme she taught me: "There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together in a little crooked house." Back then, I thought it was just a funny rhyme. I smiled because everything in...

Easter Message: He Was Canceled So You Wouldn’t Be

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice An Easter Reflection on Cancel Culture, the Cross, and the Power of Restoration There was a time when canceling someone involved wood, nails, and a watching crowd. Before social media, headlines, and hashtags, there was the cross. And before the cross, there was something else—the pillory—a public spectacle of shame. A person was locked in place, exposed to ridicule. The crowd didn’t gather to restore; they gathered to condemn—throwing rotten food, shouting loudly, delivering public judgment. The message echoed through the square: You are no longer one of us. We like to think cancel culture is new. It’s not! It’s ancient. Only now, instead of wooden frames in a town square, we use platforms, posts, and public opinion. The tool...

The Marxist roots of America’s racial unrest

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Michael Hancock’s Undercurrent How the Communist International weaponized race — and why its echoes still divide us today. In October 1928, the Communist International — the Moscow-based command center for global revolution — issued an extraordinary directive. Buried in the archives of the Political Secretariat of the Communist International, the document was titled “Resolution on the Negro Question in the United States.” It did not read like a humanitarian plea to end racial injustice. It read like a military plan. It declared: “The Negro working class has reached a stage of development which enables it, if properly organized and well led, to fulfill successfully its double historical mission: to play a considerable role in the class struggle ...

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...
