The Free Press: In her own basement strategy, how long can Kamala Harris avoid the press?

By The Editors | Commentary, The Free Press It has been a month since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. And a glorious month it’s been for Democrats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. rats, with an energized party, large, enthusiastic crowds, and adoring press coverage. “Our next president brings the joy,” said Tim Walz, her vice-presidential choice, at a rally in Detroit. But with all the kumbaya—despite fears of a 1968 reprise, the Dems have put on a mostly drama-free show in Chicago—Harris has avoided saying a single substantive thing, either about her record...

Gaines: I wish the Colorado 2nd Amendment Caucus well

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project I wish the Colorado 2nd Amendment Caucus well.  I support the idea. I just don't think it's going to matter. The article HERE and HERE details the formation of a new caucus among Colorado State House Republicans.  It's not quite clear who all is in it (Bottoms and Armagost are mentioned, but that's it). The purpose, according to a quote by Rep. Bottoms is "...to ensure that all Coloradoans are knowledgeable and safe when it comes to firearm ownership. The Colorado 2nd Amendment Caucus will serve as a platform for collaboration and understanding, transcending party lines to achieve this." This is a worthy goal and I'm in support of it.  To the extent that it gets media attention, I'm a fan.  ...

Emails from Readers: Say ‘Nuts’ to Polis and Dems, keep property tax on the ballot

Editor's note: Want to express your opinion? Email [email protected]. Give us your succinct thoughts on current events, be sure to include your name and hometown, and we might feature your letter. Dear Mr. Editor, I cannot believe the arrogance of the Democrat-led legislators and the posturing of Gov. Polis over the property tax issue. The Democrats seem to think that law-abiding, tax-paying, freedom-loving Colorado citizens are too stupid to really comprehend the importance of their socialist agenda. So much so, that when Prop. HH failed by a 59% to 41% margin, Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg stated in a TV news interview that Coloradans were swayed by extreme right-wing propaganda. Really! We're that gullible? Wow. It seems Colorado voters aren't as ignora...

Cuccinelli: Maine shows just what’s wrong with ranked-choice voting

By Ken Cuccinelli  | Commentary, Townhall.com Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for the Maine Presidential ballot in November and in doing so shows just how fraudulent claims in favor of Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) really are. Supporters of RCV falsely promise it will reduce toxic partisanship, increase compromise, and eliminate extremism from our elections, but in reality the costly, confusing, and complex voting practice has been an unmitigated disaster wherever implemented.  RCV requires a voter to rank each candidate on the basis of ‘least bad’ by assigning a numerical designation to the candidate the voter favors most to the candidate the voter favors least. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the l...

Caldara: Even out-of-favor political minorities need protecting

By John Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado Hunters are deviant perverts. Men convinced they’re women are to be celebrated. The left works hard to make the bizarre mainstream. The transgender movement is a shining example of just how good they are at it. Ya know, if only you’d learn about all 64 genders and the associated newspeak, you’d understand. You’d learn transsexuals, cross-dressers and transgendered re-creating “The Last Supper” is loving artistic interpretation. Men punching the hell out of women, once called domestic abuse, is now an Olympic boxing event. Celebrate it or be canceled.

Devotional: Beyond stolen valor, understanding true courage in leadership

By DRAKE HUNTER | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Valor denotes boldness and determination when encountering great danger, reflecting courage and resilience in one's character amidst the most demanding and challenging situations, circumstances and people. With more than 20 years of active-duty service in the Air Force, seven of which were with the Wyoming National Guard, I honorably retired in 2005. The same year, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (Democratic Vice President Nominee) retired as a guardsman. Like Command Sgt. Maj. Walz, I was also a first sergeant who understood the victories and challenges of that particular role and responsibility. Be sure to catch Pastor Drake Hunter's podcast 'JUST SAYIN' here or through your podcast provider. My journey to understanding valor was n...

Constas: Colorado’s property tax crisis, the partisan divide driving the state’s housing affordability crisis

By James Constas | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Homeowners across Colorado with mortgages are opening their annual escrow analyses and facing a shocking reality. I am one of them.  To my dismay, I discovered my mortgage will increase by a staggering $1,000 per month. This 54% surge in my monthly payment was driven by soaring property taxes and an even more exorbitant rise in homeowner's insurance premiums. Astonishingly, I now pay more towards taxes and insurance than towards the principal and interest on the property! Outraged, I shared my escrow analysis on X (formerly known as Twitter), where it garnered 887 likes, 263 retweets, and over 24,000 views in just 24 hours, clearly striking a chord. The 72 comments came from fellow homeowners sharing their fiscal misery and ...

Sloan: Who loses if Harris wins?

By Kelly Sloan | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Poor Joe Biden. I mean, really, one has to feel at least a little sorry for the guy. One minute the entire Democratic establishment (including, of course, the media) is wallowing in despair over their fortunes this November with Biden remaining at the helm; within a matter of hours, all is sunshine and light in Democrat World, now that Biden --  once the revered elder stateman of the Democratic left, “Joe from Scranton” who could do no wrong in the eyes of the Party and the New York Times  -- has been shunted aside.  That adulatory exuberance and reverential devotion is now being showered on Kamala Harris and her new sidekick Tim Walz. Everyone, and I mean everyone, within the Democratic universe if positively giddy tha...

Mackowiak: Government control of retirement is not the answer

By Matt Mackowiak  | Commentary, TownHall.com The road to retirement hinges on two distinct paths: building upon the progress we've achieved over the past 50 years or transitioning to a fully government-run system. Americans have suffered in recent years with less money in their pockets amid a struggling economy, and with that struggle comes strong uncertainty about the future of their retirement. The media has painted a grim picture of America's retirement prospects despite the fact that Baby Boomers are the richest retiring generation in U.S. history, and young people are saving earlier than any generation before them. Far-left politicians like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are capitalizing on the fear-mongering to push a partisan agenda demanding greater government control of...

Devotional: Embracing responsibility is a legacy to remember

By Drake Hunter | Devotional, Rocky Mountain Voice A soul without a well-established aim (purpose) loses itself. That's who I was when I first met Richard G. Madsen more than 38 years ago. Richard, my father-in-law, passed away on July 6, 2024. It's challenging to capture the essence of Richard in a single word –- loving, caring, loyal and so much more come to mind. Yet, if I had to choose just one word, it would undeniably be “RESPONSIBLE!” He embodied responsibility in a way that transformed my life, guiding me from a sense of aimlessness to a place of purpose, allowing me to relish life alongside his remarkable daughter, Sherrie. Witnessing Richard's life provides a living example of responsibility and its practical application in everyday life. His exemplary conduct served ...
