Poff: ‘The ‘single woke female’ election

By  Jeremiah Poff, Commentary | Washington Examiner To the Democratic Party and the future political prospects of Vice President Kamala Harris, there is no constituency more important than single women. When it comes to relationship status, no factor is more of a predictor that a woman will vote for the Democratic Party than that she is single. On the flip side, no factor is more of a predictor for a woman voting for the Republican Party than that she is married. According to data from the Pew Research Center, 50% of married women are registered Republicans, while 45% are registered Democrats. But 72% of never-married women are registered Democrats, while a meager 24% are registered Republicans. By contrast, the partisan split among men is muc...

Devotional: Life’s enigma is a call to true wisdom

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice What do all humans have in common? Death, time, and chance. Yet, we can also say life, eternity, and choice! Regardless of perspective, life is undeniably an enigma — a paradox much like trying to catch a cloud or a wisp of smoke. Attempting to grasp it often transforms it into something entirely different. However, if we can glimpse this mystery, many certainties of life come into focus, allowing us to enjoy each day and expect goodness—not just sometimes, but always. The Hebrew word for enigma, "Hevel," appears 38 times in the Bible, particularly in the wisdom literature. Often translated as vanity or meaningless, it reflects life's fleeting, elusive nature. Yet, understanding "Hevel" beyond a Western lens reveals profound truth...

Sloan: Reflections on Brett Baier’s Fox News interview with VP Kamala Harris

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The inestimable Peggy Noonan, in her regular Sunday Wall Street Journal column, was exacting, as usual, in her analysis of Kamala Harris: “This week she couldn’t answer a single question straight, and people should see it. She is an artless dodger.” A bit little later on in the piece, referring to a typical word-salad response, Harris proffered to a question: “That isn’t the answer of a candidate trying to be forthcoming and using her limited time in an attempt to be better understood. It is the sound of someone running out the clock.” And further on yet: “What are her thoughts, right now, about illegal immigration and the border?... Was the influx a good thing? Why? Does it constitute a national emergency? Why? What atti...

Davidson: Kamala Harris is priming Democrats for violent resistance if Trump wins

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist By now it’s commonplace to note that Kamala Harris often seems out of her depth, like she’s unsure what to say about policy, or how to explain her past positions, or why she hasn’t already done the things she’s promised to do if she’s elected given that she’s the current vice president. But on one particular subject she’s been consistent and forceful throughout her campaign. She’s adamant that Donald Trump will destroy America if he’s reelected. And not “destroy” in the sense of enact bad policies, but that he’ll round people up with the military and put them in camps. She talks about this all the time now. At one point during her Wednesday evening interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, she became visibly upset after Baier playe...

Young: Kamala Harris continues to underperform in critical states

By J.T. Young, Commentary | Commentary, The Hill Kamala Harris is continuing to underperform across the polling spectrum.   Pick any average from the multitude of polling views — two-way, multicandidate, battleground states, and even individual battleground states — and Harris is running consistently below where Joe Biden was in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.   So it’s no surprise Democrats are growing nervous. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE HILL Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the management of the Rocky Mountain Voice, but even so we support the constitutional right of the author to express those opinions.

Ciarrocchi: How Kamala Harris is doing everything possible to lose pivotal Pennsylvania

By Guy Ciarrocchi, Commentary | New York Post Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have a Pennsylvania problem. Harris, her team and national Democrats finally know it. But does their knowledge come too late? And can they fix it? With his disastrous debate performance in June, President Biden showed the nation he’s old, floundering and not up to the job. Polls confirmed it. National Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, along with Team Harris, sprang into action. Something had to be done. The “Democratic Politburo” decided — on behalf of 75 million Democratic voters — what the party’s best option was. Out with “Uncle Joe,” and in with the new and improved product: Kamala Harris.

Marcus: Kamala Harris can no longer hide from her dangerous stance on men playing in girls’ sports

By David Marcus, Commentary | Fox News For over a decade now, the issue of trangenderism has gained increasing prominence in American politics, which is natural when personal choices begin to intersect with public policy, and for Vice President Kamala Harris, it has risen above the surface at the worst possible time. There have always been policy concerns around the idea that men can simply decide they are women. There were questions about women’s shelters and prisons, locker rooms and bathrooms, but nothing puts quite as fine a point on the issue as men competing in women’s sports. For his part, former President Trump has a clear and concise answer to the troubling phenomenon, telling a Fox News town hall this week, "It’s such an easy question. Everybody in the room and...

Ganahl: Dear Jena, let’s get real about remote access

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado’s elections are far from secure. Rather than being a "gold standard" of integrity, they are a gilded mess of lies and half-measures. Ten years ago, I handed off my “baby,” a $100 million pet care franchise built from scratch, so I could fight for the American dream I have been so blessed to live. I had seen how our politicians and government were tearing opportunities away from our children. Government was making it harder and harder to start and grow a business, raise our families, and live freely. So, I went to work. First, I launched a non-profit to fight for justice in our court system: Moms Fight Back. Then, I was the last Republican to win a statewide race in Colorado as regent at the University of Colorado. For six...

Shideler: Drones are swarming U.S. military bases, and our incompetent bureaucracy won’t do anything about it

By Kyle Shideler, Commentary | The Federalist Despite prevailing public and political wisdom that removing homeless encampments is necessary to reduce crime in an area, a new national study looking specifically at Denver’s crime rates after sweeps found the narrative was, in fact, mostly false. “There is no evidence that sweeps make our community safer,” said Pranav Padmanabhan, the Denver-based lead author of the study published Wednesday in the national Journal of Urban Health. Padmanabhan is a graduate student in Public Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and one of four authors affiliated with the medical school. The fifth is with the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST Editor’s note: O...
