“The Constitution reigns supreme”: A warning about sanctuary states and political power

By Michael J Badagliacco, “MJB” | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado and a multitude of other states are disregarding the Constitution and federal law. They disguise these actions with the help of complicit judges. Their objective is to inflate numbers in the census. This maneuver aims to claim more seats in the House of Representatives come 2030. The mechanism is straightforward. The Constitution requires counting the whole number of persons for apportionment. U.S. Const. art. I, § 2, cl. 3 and U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 2. Current practice includes noncitizens since no prohibition bars it.  Noncitizens remain ineligible to vote in our elections. Nevertheless, their presence shapes congressional district allocations and Electoral College strength across the nation. S...

Common Sense, Conservatism, Parties and Other Meaningless Words

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” —Inigo Montoya, “The Princess Bride” People use words like common sense or conservatism. Here’s the problem: either words have precise meanings in certain contexts, or they mean precisely nothing. In this article, I’ll put some definitions around a few words – to create some objective truth for a dialogue among reasonable people. Good people can disagree, but so can bad people. First, common sense is a false premise. People often say, “Well, that’s just common sense!” But they can’t precisely define the term they just used. Thus, they provide no truth for what they suggest is truth which makes no sense. If common sense did exist, the majority of p...

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...

Time to cut ties: Americans back President Trump’s push to defund the UN

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports President Trump’s blunt assessment of the United Nations during his September 23 address wasn’t just political theater. It reflected the growing frustration many Americans feel toward a bloated, ineffective, and increasingly hostile international organization. In his speech, Trump declared, “The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them.” According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, 60% of U.S. voters agree, including 43% who strongly agree. That’s not a fringe view – that’s the voice of the American mainstream. The United Nations, established in 1945 to promote peace and cooperation among nations, has instead become a symbol of globalist overreach and institutional rot. From its failure to prevent ...

President Trump vows voter ID mandate through executive order

By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News President announces plan on social media along with restrictions on mail-in voting President Donald Trump says he plans to sign an executive order aimed at requiring voter ID in elections across the country. Trump made the statement on social media late Saturday night, saying he is also seeking other reforms to how U.S. elections take place.   "Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. Trump previously attempted to impose voter ID via an executive order earlier this year in a wider election integrity action. In April, Ju...

Doing the math on the cost of mail-in voting after 25 years

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Commentary, Captain K's Corner, Substack A statistical guide to the impacts of mail-in voting and why Democrats will make it their hill to die on. It appears, based on his recent statements, that President Trump is likely to take executive action targeting mail-in ballots and perhaps other deficiencies and disenfranchising items present in the American system of elections. As a former intelligence officer, my mind moves immediately to thinking like how the enemy thinks, and in this case, those enemies will be representatives of states that run quasi-elections tainted by mail-in balloting, which is always accompanied by ballot harvesting (whether legal or not), pushed out to an ever-expanding list of registrations polluted by Automatic Voter Registration. As ...

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...

Hancock: The Constitution isn’t broken—it’s working as designed

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack When the Supreme Court ruled on Friday to restrict the use of nationwide injunctions—limiting the power of lower federal courts to block federal policies across all 50 states—the headlines screamed “judicial power grab.” Civil rights groups warned the ruling is a “crisis for civil liberties”, while pundits cautioned that it is another step in America’s ongoing executive aggrandizement. The reaction was loud, dire, and—to anyone who understands the Constitution—deeply misleading. Despite the shrieking headlines and partisan outrage, what we’re witnessing isn’t a constitutional failure. It’s a constitutional function. The system is not broken. It’s working. Slowly, awkwardly, and often frustratingly—but working. This deliberate slownes...
