RMV editorial board: Denver braces for “No Kings” protests fueled by far-left groups

Rocky Mountain Voice, Commentary, Local, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , , ,

This Saturday, a coalition of far-left activist groups is planning to flood downtown Denver for a protest they’re calling “No Kings Day”—timed deliberately to coincide with President Trump’s birthday and a nationwide military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday.

While organizers claim the event is a celebration of “freedom from tyranny,” their messaging, sponsors and past behavior suggest otherwise. The event—set to take place at Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park from 1–6 p.m.—includes an “activist fair” featuring over 30 organizations.

They didn’t want this event to happen. Activists have spent weeks pressuring the venue, trying to intimidate organizers into pulling the plug. But the Rocky Mountain Voice’s first Mountain Majesty Gala is moving forward – and Eric Trump is headlining it.

Parker: We need a national, armed citizen militia now

Rocky Mountain Voice, Commentary, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , , ,

I am not surprised at the result of the efforts of people in our state to banish firearms. No one should be surprised at the open contempt for our God given rights, protected in our Bill of Rights, that was demonstrated by requiring Ken DeGraaf to cover part of our Constitution.

There is no remedy for this at the state levels. 

We have to go on the offense and enact recognition of these God given rights to self protection. 

The way our 2nd Amendment was penned has been glossed over for 200 years because there was no need after the American Revolution to flesh out what the Founders intended. It was recognized and taken for granted that the right to possess all arms belonged to the citizens of our country and not just a standing army or our National Guard.

Garbo: The Left’s silence says more than their spin ever could

They don’t talk about egg prices anymore. Inflation has disappeared from their daily talking points. You’ll hear nothing about tariffs, the stock market, or the border crisis they once screamed about nonstop. Why?

Because those issues – once weaponized against President Trump – have all improved under his leadership. And with Trump back in office, once again tackling these challenges head-on, the left has lost the argument – and they know it.

Hancock: The phrase that shields tyranny behind a slogan

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, National, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , , ,

In George Orwell’s 1984, citizens were told that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. It was called Newspeak—language engineered to distort thought—and doublethink, the act of believing two contradictory things at once.

Today, we don’t need fiction. We have the perpetual news.

Across America, mobs swarm immigration offices, smash windows, burn vehicles, blockade highways, and hurl explosives at federal buildings—all while being shielded under the banner of “peaceful protest.” The phrase is repeated so often it’s practically trademarked. Politicians echo it. Journalists parrot it. And poets romanticize it, casting destruction as defiance and rage as righteousness.

Webb: A ‘yes’ vote for Home Rule is a vote for Douglas County’s future

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, Local, Top Stories / / , , , ,

On June 24, 2025, Douglas County residents will have the opportunity to vote in a Special Election to decide whether to form a Home Rule Charter Commission and elect 21 commission members to draft a potential Home Rule Charter. As the leader of the Douglas County Republican Party, I believe this historic vote could pave the way for greater local control, flexibility, and self-governance, positioning Douglas County to address its unique needs more effectively. Here’s why voting “Yes” for Home Rule is the best choice for our county.

Priced out, packed in: Colorado renters squeezed by costs, policy gridlock and population growth

Top Stories, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / , , , , , ,

Colorado’s affordable housing crunch – especially in the rental sector – has been building for years. Reports from the Common Sense Institute and Bell Policy Center trace the tipping point to around 2015, when demand consistently began outpacing supply.

The last decade has seen rising home prices, stagnant wages and insufficient new construction which has made the situation worse due to recent immigration pressures and allegations of resource allocation issues.

Hancock: President Trump’s nuclear plan puts power—and America—back on the grid

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, National, Substack, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , ,

Politics doesn’t power cities—electricity does. And Trump just fired up the most significant energy move we’ve seen in decades. It isn’t about windmills or wishful thinking. It’s about fission. Steel. Jobs. It’s about restoring America’s backbone, one kilowatt at a time.

Welcome to America’s new atomic age.

Trump’s nuclear strategy is not a relic of the Cold War but a blueprint for national revival. At its core is a simple truth: electricity has become intelligence. The race to dominate artificial intelligence—the next frontier of economic and military superiority—will not be won with slogans or solar panels. It will be won with gigawatts. And nuclear energy, safe and scalable, is the only resource up to the task.

Released and reloaded: Montrose bond records show cracks feeding Colorado’s criminal underworld

When a Montrose County woman was released on a $0 personal recognizance bond after skipping court in late 2023, it wasn’t her first time facing charges. It wouldn’t be her last either. Within nine months, she was arrested again – this time for second degree assault, harassment and criminal attempt. Her story is not an outlier. It is a warning.

“There’s a revolving door with criminals or serious crime,” said Montrose County Sheriff Gene Lillard in a recent interview with RMV. “Last month we picked up one person five times – they were released on PR bond. There’s no consequences.”

Garbo: Sanctuary policies led to chaos—and now they’re blaming ICE

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, National, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , , ,

The chaos unfolding in Los Angeles isn’t just disturbing, it’s the natural result of years of political cowardice and ideological extremism. The riots erupting in response to ICE’s lawful enforcement of deportation orders are not acts of civil disobedience. They are acts of defiance against the rule of law itself. And the blame lies squarely at the feet of Democratic leadership in California, who declared Los Angeles a “sanctuary city,” emboldening illegal activity while abandoning their sworn duty to protect American citizens.
