The Case of Ian Roberts: A Slap in the Face to Law-Abiding Citizens

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The arrest of Ian Roberts, former superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, is more than a scandal. It is an insult to every law-abiding citizen who plays by the rules, pays their taxes, and expects their government institutions to uphold the law with fairness and integrity. Roberts, an undocumented immigrant with a final deportation order, was entrusted with the leadership of Iowa’s largest school district. For this role, he collected nearly $300,000 a year in taxpayer money. Parents who struggle to pay rising property taxes funded his salary and benefits, even while their children’s classrooms lacked resources and their teachers went without competitive pay. How could this happen? According to federal filings, Roberts...

EVERY Day In America Is ‘No Kings Day’—READ the U.S. Constitution

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” Mark Twain may or may not have said it, but whoever did certainly had a valid point. Today in 2025, many people seem to know a lot that just ain’t so. Over the weekend, thousands of people gathered in cities across the U.S. for a series of “No Kings” rallies and protests. The NO KINGS website lists many partner organizations including marxists, socialists, communists, anti-Americans, Democrats, progressives, radical environmentalists, abortionists, anarchists and many others that oppose the lawful Constitutional authority and order of our Republics—some of whom advocate rebellion, insurrection, violence and the overthrow of...

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...

Constitution Day: Celebrating the document that set America apart

By Web Desk | The News International US Constitution day celebrates the signing of the US constitution On September 17 every year, the United States commemorates Constitution day. The day celebrates the signing of the foundational document of American history that established the system of government in 1787. Americans use this day to reflect on their constitutional history, significance, and enduring promise of the U.S. constitution. In Philadelphia, a constitutional convention was organised that resulted in the emergence of the document of constitution. The discussions and dialogues lasted for months and finally the official document was signed on September 17, 1787. Via these governing principles of state, a revolutionary system of government was introduced that con...

Supreme Court Reasserts Control Over Rogue Lower Court Rulings on ICE

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist ‘Consistency and neutrality are hallmarks of good judging, and in my view, we abide by those enduring judicial values in this case by granting the stay.’ The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a win for the Trump administration in its bid to enforce immigration laws in California on Monday. The ruling is the latest in a string of SCOTUS orders revoking overreaching injunctions issued by rogue lower court judges. In its 6-3 decision, the high court placed a temporary stay on a lower court injunction that prohibited Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from carrying out deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. The injunction was issued in July by Biden-appointed District Judge Maame E. Frimpong, who argued that plaintiffs would likely ...

Immigration arrest lawsuit dismissed against Mesa County deputy

By Heather Willard | Fox 31 DENVER (KDVR) — A lawsuit filed against a Mesa County Sheriff’s Office deputy who may have shared information with federal agents that led to a 19-year-old Utah student’s arrest has been dropped. The case was filed by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office after Mesa County Deputy Andrew Zwinck allegedly shared details of a traffic stop in a group message that included members of Homeland Security Investigations, leading to the detention of Caroline Dias-Goncalves on June 5. Previous reporting: Mesa County Sheriff’s Office investigation finds ‘disturbing’ messages in drug chat Dias-Goncalves, 19, has no criminal record and was attending the University of Utah on a merit scholarship. In Colorado, local and state law enforcement and peace office...

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...

Colorado judge blocks ICE from courthouse arrests, raising questions of state vs federal authority

By Chuck Murphy | CPR News Another Colorado judge has ordered federal immigration agents to stop making civil immigration violation arrests in courthouses. Amanda C. Hopkins, chief judge of the 12th Judicial District for six south central Colorado counties, issued an administrative order Tuesday barring anyone from making civil detentions in the district’s courthouses. “Effecting civil arrests against people attending to court matters has several consequences to the court’s constitutionally-mandated administration of justice,” Hopkins wrote in the order. “Civil arrests have a chilling effect not only on criminal defendants’ presence at their hearings, but also on victims reporting crimes.” Colorado law prohibits arrests for civil violations at courthouses: “[A] person shal...

Agents Told To “Shut It Down” Mid-Investigation in Clinton Probe

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy | Just The News Kid gloves vs. brass knuckles: Newly-declassified timeline shows how the investigation of the Clinton Foundation was hamstrung by FBI and DOJ while baseless Russia collusion marched foward in both agencies against Donald Trump. FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered a bombshell memo written in 2017 chronicling the extensive political obstruction that career agents in three cities faced from their own bosses and the Obama Justice Department during the 2016 election as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation. "Shut it down!" then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York Cit...

Joondeph: America First immigration reform via refundable visa bonds that reward compliance

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker The Biden administration pushed America into open borders and immigration chaos. In 2023, President Autopen allowed 10,000 illegal crossings a day. Now, in a rare move that merits praise rather than protest and outrage, the U.S. State Department under the Trump admininistration has introduced a new “visa bond program” grounded in accountability, enforcement, and taxpayer protection. It's also the kind of common-sense, America-first program we expect from President Trump and his MAGA team. As the New York Times reported:  Addressing what it calls “a clear national security threat,” the Trump administration will require that some foreign visitors pay bonds of up to $15,000 to help ensure they do not overst...
