Devotional: The reason for the season, Jesus and justice for all

By DRAKE HUNTER | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Why do humans care so much about justice? It's a question worth pondering, especially during Christmas, when themes of peace, goodwill and fairness shine brightly. In the animal kingdom, justice isn’t exactly a top priority. Some creatures eat their mates — talk about a bad date! — others abandon weaker offspring, and many simply operate on the law of survival. Thankfully, my mom — raising triplets, no less — wasn’t an animal. She didn’t leave one of us behind to focus on the others, much like a Panda does. Why do humans recoil at such behavior and demand fairness and accountability? The Bible provides a fascinating answer that brings Jesus, the reason for the season, front and center. On Page 1 of the Bible, humans are set apart ...

Overbeck: What happens when Democrat Sec. of State Griswold’s office leaks secret election passwords?   Pretty much nada

By Joy Overbeck  | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Just a few days before the Nov. 5 election, Colorado voters learned that Democrat Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office had posted critical election machine passwords online, passwords that could make hundreds of Dominion voting machines in most of the state’s 64 counties vulnerable to outside meddling. Worse, Griswold had deliberately concealed this significant breach from the county clerks responsible for running the elections in their jurisdictions. As in most such government scandals, the cover-up debacle was more damaging than the original debacle. Or was it?  Immediately the hashtags #JailJena and #FreeTina started sprouting all over social media, referring to former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina P...

Sloan: Biden’s legacy is weakness on the world stage, while at home unprecedented inflation and ‘woke’ culture

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice We read in the Telegraph that outgoing President Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, has briefed President-elect Trump, and has warned him that a freshly-weakened Iran could build a nuclear weapon. One can only imagine the look of stunned shock in Trump’s face at this entirely unexpected and unforeseen revelation.  To be fair, it is entirely appropriate and necessary for the outgoing national security advisor to brief the new administration, and it is very reasonable to conclude that Iran — now pushed up against the ropes, quickly losing allies in the region and having its proxy armies systematically obliterated — could put Tehran in a desperate enough frame of mind to accelerate the motivation to consummate the...

York: Another Biden parting outrage

By Byron York | Commentary, Washington Examiner On Monday morning, the White House announced that President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 prisoners, all murderers and some multiple murderers, on federal death row. (Yes, while most death penalty cases are handled by the states, the federal government has a death row for violators of federal crimes.) Biden commuted the federal prisoners’ sentences from death to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In a statement, Biden claimed to be acting out of principle and conscience. He plainly said he did not want the federal government to execute anyone, and he specifically did not want the next president of the United States to allow the federal government to execute anyone. He never ment...

Caldara: The ridiculous double-standard behind Denver’s flavor ban

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado I get tired of all the double standards. When The Little Mermaid swims around half naked, singing to her underwater friends, she is “sweet” and “beautiful.” But when I do it, people say I’m “drunk” and “no longer welcome at the aquarium.” Modern society often makes knowing when you’re acting hypocritically difficult. I mean, burn a body at a crematorium, you’re “doing a good job.” Do it at home you’re “destroying evidence.” It’s just hard to know when people are going to get upset and throw the double-standard flag at you. So, of course, I’ve got a great deal of sympathy for the Denver City Council and its bizarre inconsistent hypocrisy between cannabis and tobacco.

Garbo: Exposed! How Biden’s White House betrayed America. Who was REALLY in charge?

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The recent Wall Street Journal report, "How Biden’s White House Functioned With a Diminished President," is more than an exposé - it is a damning indictment of corruption, deceit and betrayal that strikes at the very foundation of our democracy. From the moment Joe Biden took office, it has become increasingly clear that he lacked the executive function necessary to lead this nation. The Democratic Party knew it. The media knew it. Yet, instead of confronting the truth, they colluded to hide it. This is not just negligence — it is fraud. The mainstream media, tasked with holding power accountable, transformed into a public relations arm of the Democratic Party. For years, they gaslit the American public, dismissing concerns a...

Williams: Turning Point USA’s awakening of conservatism’s lion

By LACI WILLIAMS | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I worked for Turning Point USA for nearly five-and-a-half years. This year, I made my return at their annual conference, Americafest, in Phoenix, Ariz. It was a triumphant homecoming, as the energy in the room reflected the incredible momentum Turning Point has built. Their hard work has awakened a quiet lion within the conservative movement, a machine that is proving to be unstoppable. Despite being outspent this election cycle, Republicans were not outworked, thanks in large part to Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk and his team of tireless culture warriors. As Kirk himself put it, “The good guys win if we push hard enough.” Sitting in the press pool at Americafest, I couldn’t help but notice the stark contrast in perspectives. O...

Sheffield: From illegal immigration to ‘no tax on tips,’ Youngkin models states working with Trump

By Carrie Sheffield  | Commentary, Daily Signal Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin is demonstrating how states should work together with President-elect Donald Trump to enact a smart, conservative agenda. This is key leadership by Youngkin as some blue state governors vow to impede Trump’s agenda at every turn. For example, Youngkin recently announced his budget proposal to crack down on the Old Dominion’s sanctuary cities. Youngkin’s “No Sanctuary Cities” budget proposal would require local law enforcement, sheriffs, and jail directors to fully comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers and provide notification to U.S. Customs 48 hours prior to the release of an illegal immigrant who commits a crime. Youngkin also wants funding withheld f...

Craffey: How Trump can make the auto industry great again

By Matthew Craffey | Commentary, The Federalist When President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in as our 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025, he will inherit an auto industry that has been greatly diminished in recent years. There are many reasons for this decline, including the misguided environmental policies of the Biden administration, Chinese market manipulation and exploitation, and trade deals and regulations that cripple American auto manufacturers. Just how bad are things? Well, Stellantis (the parent company of Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram) reported a 48 percent profit decline in the first half of 2024, followed by a 27 percent drop in the third quarter. Astronomical fuel-efficiency fines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) h...

Devotional: Reprogram your thinking to transform your life

By Drake Hunter | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Most Christians are familiar with the Great Commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). We often talk about the heart — linking it to trusting God’s love — and the soul, which relates to our physical energy and strength. But what about the mind? This oft overlooked part of our being or personhood is powerful and essential to living a life of purpose and impact. Everything begins with the mind — our thoughts shape how we feel, live and respond to the world. For Christians, mindset is about prioritizing the mind over the physical. Picture it this way: The brain is the hardware, a physical tool for processing information; The mind is the software,...
