York: Joe Biden owes the country an explanation

By Byron York | Commentary, Washington Examiner President Joe Biden is scheduled to make a live address to the nation tonight at 9 p.m. That is a violation of his plan “to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so that he can get more sleep,” according to news reports earlier this month when he was still struggling to hold on to the Democratic nomination. But it is extremely important that he stay up and tell the public what is going on. In the last week, the president, weak and infirm, contracted COVID-19 and went into isolation. There, behind closed doors, he was forced by a group of powerful Democratic insiders to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. He then endorsed the vice president, Kamala Harris, for the Democratic nomination, and party leaders, despite earli...

Swearer: Why the 2nd Amendment is more crucial than ever after attempt to kill Trump

By Amy Swearer | The Daily Signal A 20-year-old man with a rifle, perched atop a nearby roof, fired several rounds July 13 at Donald Trump as the former president spoke at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, killing one attendee and wounding at least two others. As we know now, one round nicked Trump’s right ear and he avoided a serious wound or death with a fortuitous head turn that moved him out of the bullet’s path at the last second. Almost immediately, some gun control activists saw the attempted assassination as an opportunity to call for their wish list of more restrictions on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Talk about missing the point. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL Editor's note: Opinions expressed...

Lundberg: Help us protect kids in Colorado, sign in support of our ballot initiatives

By Kevin Lundberg | Commentary We only have nine days left to collect all the signatures we need to put on the ballot the initiatives that will help protect kids and families from the transgender ideology that is sweeping through our public schools.  I have been in the fight to protect our families and children for many years. Last year, I made a documentary, ArtClubMovie.com, about the transgender ideology that is working its way into our public schools here in Colorado. Just this year, the legislature passed and the governor signed a bill into law that requires all public schools, including charter schools, to use any non-legal name that a student adopts. This is a not so subtle way of forcing all public schools to engage in pushing the ...

Devotional: A historical reflection on blood, violence and compassion

By Drake Hunter | Devotional, Rocky Mountain Voice July 13, 2024: This day marked a distressing moment in history — an assassin's attempt on President Donald J. Trump's life that reverberated globally, evoking echoes of past events where seemingly insignificant details held immense significance. It felt as though we were bearing witness to the unfolding of history, and the blood on the President's ear marked a transformative juncture in time and the annals of history. For those familiar with literature, particularly the Bible, the symbolism of blood as representative of life, sacrifice and atonement, and the connotation of the right ear as a symbol of attentive listening and obedience to God's voice, are familiar themes. When such significant events occur, it is natural for people...

Smrz: Is the support by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis of Ukraine war funding an indicator he is eyeing the DNC presidential ticket?

By Jimmy Smrz | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The United States' continued funding of the Ukraine-Russia war is set to be a key issue in the 2024 presidential race, raising questions about whether Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is positioning himself for a spot on the Democratic National Convention's presidential ticket. Following President Biden's withdrawal from the race, and endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party initially unified in support of her. However, Harris' path to the nomination remains uncertain. Concerns about her electability create uncertainty about her candidacy. Enter Gov. Polis, whose recent high-profile support for Ukraine, including a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signals his readiness for the international stage and ali...

Ganahl: A look at J.D. Vance, Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, a Marine veteran and first Millennial on a major-party ticket

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice When former President Donald J. Trump announced U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, would be his vice-presidential running mate on the Republican Party's presidential ticket, it concluded months of speculation. He becomes one of the youngest vice-presidential candidates in the history of the United States, and he's also the Millennial generation's first candidate to appear on a major-party ticket. Born on Aug. 2, 1984, Vance, 39, has crafted a compelling narrative through his life experiences and political stances. Raised protestant, he converted to catholicism in August 2019. Vance is married to Usha Chilukuri Vance, whom he met at Yale Law School. They married in 2014 and have three children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel. Usha, a corporat...

Fabbricatore: A law enforcement leader’s perspective on the assassination attempt on President Trump

By John Fabbricatore | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Have you ever experienced a situation where things happen that are done right, but still go horribly wrong? The recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump's life is a stark example of this. While the Secret Service was prepared to lay down their lives for the former President and current Republican Presidential candidate, the fact that a shooter managed to get within 140 yards of the stage represents a significant failure in security protocols. Something went wrong, and, as a result, hearings should be held, Freedom of Information Act requests made, and hopefully we can come to an understanding of why this security lapse occurred.  As we uncover the details and analyze what went wrong, it's crucial t...

Lake: It’s 1968 all over again, the year that left two leaders dead and shattered our politics

By Eli Lake | Commentary, The Free Press For months now, the parallels between 2024 and 1968 have seemed eerie. The Democratic convention is once again in Chicago this August, as it was 56 years ago. The Democratic incumbent, once again, is despised by his left-wing base and seems out of touch with voters. College campuses are once again aflame over a foreign war. And yet despite these echoes, anyone familiar with the horrors of 1968 would have thought things were much worse in that year of street battles and riots than today. Until Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Yesterday evening, an assassin’s bullet came a hair’s breadth away from killing the Republican nominee and front-runner in the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump. Instead, the bullet grazed his ear, set...

Boyd: Contrary to media claims, inflation index shows Americans still face sky-high prices

By Jordan Boyd | Commentary, The Federalist Contrary to the corporate media cabal’s desperate attempt to paint the Consumer Price Index report for June 2024 as a sign that inflation “cooled” and will continue “cooling” and “slowing” the closer the nation gets to November’s presidential election, Americans are still paying higher prices on basic day-to-day goods and services than they did in the last four years. When the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its latest inflation index showing a 0.1 percent decrease in prices from May 2024 to June 2024, press outlets and the Democrat regime rushed to bill the data as a sign that inflation is “at its lowest level in more than three years.” The New York Times’ Paul Krugman, whose partisa...

Jeffrey: Joe Biden Is The $7 Trillion Dollar Man

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY | Commentary, The Daily Caller Since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, the federal debt has increased by more than $7 trillion. On Jan. 20, 2021, the day of Biden’s inauguration, it was $27,751,896,236,414.77, according to data published by the U.S. Treasury Department. As of this Fourth of July, it was $34,847,568,990,054.13. That is an increase of $7,095,672,753,639.36 — in less than four years. No other president has increased the debt that much between his inauguration and the Fourth of July in his fourth year in office.
