Devotional: What is the trunk of who you are?

By DRAKE HUNTER | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Living in the grandness of Colorado and traveling to the mountains often is like walking through a divine art gallery. Nature here doesn’t just sit still; it grabs you by the senses and shakes you awake. If you've ever bitten into a juicy Colorado Palisade peach, you know what I mean. That peach, sweet and perfect, didn’t just happen overnight. It started as a tiny seed, growing into a sturdy tree, nourished by the soil, rain and sun until it became something delightful — an actual work of art, and what a great picture of life itself. Think about it. That peach tree needed a solid trunk to support the weight of its branches and fruit. It couldn’t produce anything worth tasting, if its foundation were weak. The same goes for us. Li...

Sengenberger: JeffCo’s politicized PTA hijacked by the left

By Jimmy Sengenberger | Commentary, The Gazette When Jefferson County mom Carrie Mumma challenged the Colorado Parent-Teacher Association’s hardline stance on controversial legislation, she’d crossed a line. On X, Mumma shared and challenged testimony from Dawn Fritz, COPTA’s director of legislative engagement, supporting HB1039, a law blocking parents’ guaranteed right to know about their children’s gender identity and social transitions in school. Fritz accused Mumma of spreading “personal disapproval” and being culpable for malicious online attacks against her. She complained to Therese Rednor, president of the JeffCo district accountability committee (DAC) — where Fritz represents the PTA — claiming Mumma had violated the DAC Code of Conduct.

Ganahl: The Republican movement of health, freedom and personal liberty

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As the 2024 election cycle unfolds, the Republican Party is embracing a new wave of support from health-conscious and liberty-minded voters. With former President Donald Trump at the helm, the party is tapping into concerns over personal freedom, government overreach and the nation’s health. A significant figure in this movement is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose message of "Making America Healthy Again" (MAHA) resonates with a diverse and growing segment of the electorate. Joining this powerful message is Nicole Shanahan, a leader and advocate for tech-driven solutions to health and environmental issues, whose influence is beginning to reshape the narrative on these critical topics. While Kennedy may have ended his own presidential...

MacKinnon: Pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump is displaying daily on the campaign trail

By Douglas MacKinnon | Commentary, TownHall.com After the latest scare on Sunday, where the Secret Service opened fire on a man with an AK-47 outside of Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach while former President Donald J. Trump was on the course, I believe we all need pause to appreciate the immense courage Trump displays daily on the campaign trail. This is what President Trump put out immediately after the incident: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!  Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.” Legend.  That is the only word that comes to mind. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT TOWNHALL.COM

Matveyuk: Will our children live the American dream? 

By Sergei Matveyuk | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The days my children were born are among the best of my life. Like most parents, I want my children to live productive lives, be self-sufficient and pursue what makes them happy. Forty years ago, these simple hopes seemed impossible.  I grew up in a Marxist country where hope was nearly nonexistent. My grandfather’s farm, flour mill and last cow were taken by the government. My grandmother and her four small children were left to die. Thankfully they survived but all they could do was survive. Their hope was to leave the Marxist country where people were persecuted for having faith in anything but the government. My father was sent to the gulag and my uncle was killed because of their faith and refusal to believe that the gov...

Devotional: Which tree will you choose? Life or death?

By Drake Hunter | Devotional, Rocky Mountain Voice Let’s chat about something that should be prioritized: getting in tune with God’s wisdom (Proverbs 3). Picture this: the world is like a sneaky influencer, whispering sweet nothings that can lead us astray without realizing it. But fear not (Matthew 10:28)! The remedy is as straightforward as this discussion. Those who embrace God’s wisdom are snacking on the divine delights of “The Tree of Life,” while those who get caught up in worldly wisdom are munching on “The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”—a tree that, let me tell you, is not as innocent as it sounds (Tree of Death). It carries the weight of serious baggage, leading us to death. Let's be mindful of these dangers and choose our sources of wisdom wisely. If this tree ...

Devotional: Embracing a consistent faith to find true sanity

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As I represented Rocky Mountain Voice at the Colorado State Fair, I was blessed to encounter a rich tapestry of perspectives and viewpoints. This experience prompted me to reflect on the importance of maintaining a rational and profound approach to life. Some individuals skillfully juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, while others constantly shift their perspectives to fit various situations. This contrast highlighted the distinction between wisdom and instability, or even foolishness. The idea of continually changing one’s worldview felt similar to switching heads instead of hats— an exhausting endeavor that reflects a desire to meet whims, the expectations of others or the world. This brought to mind the image of the seve...

Hardin: Disarming Coloradans while allowing illegal immigration. How Aurora’s Tren de Aragua gang exploits vulnerable communities.

By Amanda Hardin | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The rise of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a violent transnational Venezuelan gang, in Aurora, Colorado, has brought new urgency to debates about public safety, immigration and the 2nd Amendment. The gang is accused of infiltrating and taking over local apartment complexes, including Whispering Pines, where they allegedly engage in violent crime, extortion and human trafficking. The situation raises serious concerns about the vulnerability of disarmed citizens, particularly in light of unchecked illegal immigration, which has allowed these gang members to operate within U.S. borders. Recent reports confirm that several members of the TdA gang, all Venezuelan nationals, entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and 2023, after crossing the southe...

Sloan: More of the same water-carrying by media for Harris

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Donald Trump may overplay it a little with his “FAKE NEWS” schtick, but the reality of inhered left-wing bias in the media is axiomatic. If we needed a few more examples, I offer the last few weeks. It’s no secret that the mainstream media has been pretty much carrying the Harris campaign since the deposing of Joe Biden, whose foibles and steady degradation of mental acuity they had been all but covering for until it became so obvious that it would require a Truman Show-level of coordinated mass deception to employ the needed gymnastics. Since the primary-circumventing replacement of the Democratic Presidential ticket (a brilliant bit of political sleight-of-hand naturally left uncommented upon) most of the media have fallen over them...

Watkins: Immigration crisis is the result of bad Biden-Harris policy

By Todd Watkins | Commentary, Special to Rocky Mountain Voice Since the Biden Administration took office in January 2021, upwards of 10 million illegal aliens have entered the United States.  The official DHS totals are somewhere in the mid-nine million range, while other sources have claimed closer to 12 million.  These are just the subjects we know about.  These are the “encounters” at the border by Border Patrol, the entries without inspection.  These numbers don’t include the “gotaways” -- the ones Border Patrol didn’t encounter –- which are around 1,500 each day. That’s another nearly two million since the Biden Administration took office. None of these numbers include those aliens who schedule an “appointment” at a port of entry (POE) via the CBPone app.&...
