Why American Men Are Turning Away from the Democratic Party

By John Mac Ghlionn | Commentary, The Hill The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging men. Across the U.S., they are leaving in waves — from the unions that once powered the party’s muscle, from classrooms that once echoed with idealism, and from a movement that now talks at them rather than to them. Polls show young men flocking to the right in numbers not seen for generations. The trend isn’t a blip but a brutal reckoning. And no amount of branding or beer ads will stop it. The party’s latest efforts to woo men are almost painful to watch. The Democratic National Committee has poured money into influencer partnerships, podcast cameos and clumsy “masculinity” campaigns filmed in gyms. Spokespersons drone on about “kitchen-table issues,” as if men are sitti...

‘No Kings’ 2.0 Protest Brings Arrests and Tighter Security

By: Noah Festenstein | The Denver Gazette Denver police on Sunday morning confirmed authorities arrested 12 people during follow-up demonstrations Saturday, after tens of thousands flooded downtown streets for the “No Kings” afternoon protests.

Fear and fallout: Inside Henry Ford Health’s buried vaccine study

By Maryanne Demasi, PhD | Maryanne Demasi, reports Substack The Henry Ford Health study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children was never published—until Congress forced it into the open. Here’s what it found, and why it matters. When an unpublished study from one of America’s most respected hospital networks surfaced in the US Senate last month, it reignited a fierce debate in medicine: are vaccinated children healthier than unvaccinated children? The study, titled “Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short- and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children,” was introduced into the congressional record on 9 September 2025 during a Senate hearing on “The Corruption of Science.” Attorney Aaron Siri, who specialises in vaccine-related litigatio...

Jack Smith’s failed crusade: How DOJ overreach fueled Trump’s comeback

By Julie Kelly | Commentary, Declassified Substack John Lauro, the president's criminal defense attorney in the January 6 case, describes his experience with Special Counsel Jack Smith and his henchmen in response to Smith's recent publicity tour. In the summer of 2023, John Lauro—a New York-based defense attorney at the time representing Donald Trump related to the events of January 6—met the government prosecutors leading the criminal investigation into his client. For nearly two hours that day, Lauro spoke to Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team in response to Smith’s target letter notifying the former president that he may face charges for his attempts to “overturn the 2020 election.” Lauro and Todd Blanche, currently the deputy attorney general, tried to dissuade Smith...

What the real crime stats show: America’s violence surge is no illusion

By John R. Lott Jr. | Real Clear Politics During last year’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Trump said violent crime was rising. ABC moderator David Muir immediately fact-checked him, claiming, “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country…” Nearly every major media outlet echoed that narrative. National Public Radio ran the headline, “Violent crime is dropping fast in the U.S. – even if Americans don’t believe it.” The Wall Street Journal declared, “Violent Crime Rate Falls Sharply After Pandemic Surge.” Vox insisted, “Violent crime is plummeting.” Axios reported, “New data shows violent crime dropping sharply in major U.S. cities.” However, a new Bureau of Just...

The courage to say “Here I am” when the world feels broken

By Melanie Sturm | Commentary, Think Again USA Substack Rosh Hashanah reflections inspired by Christian grace and a Buddhist parable about what we “carry in our cups.” Each year, I write my High Holiday reflections as an offering — a search for inspiration that might move us to be blessings in a world that needs them. This Rosh Hashanah message struck a chord, so I’m sharing it here — at the end of a momentous week of hope and release, and on the eve of Shabbat — a little Sabbath reading to help recharge your spiritual batteries. Below is the video of my Rosh Hashanah remarks and below that is a lightly edited version of what I shared that evening. In this sixth year of sermonizing at Temple HilMel, I thought I had it down. My plan was to spend Elul — the month of preparati...

Fort Collins to Debut Ranked Choice Voting in November Election

By: Maggie Bryan | Denver7 Denver7 is taking your questions and concerns about ranked choice voting to the Fort Collins city clerk and the Larimer County clerk. FORT COLLINS, Colo. — For the first time, Fort Collins voters will use ranked choice voting to elect a mayor and city council members during November's election. Fort Collins voters approved the switch to the new voting method in 2022 with 58% of the vote. For the past few years, local election officials have been working to educate people on ranked choice voting, which allows people to rank candidates in order of preference instead of voting for one person. Ranked choice voting has faced criticism for being too complicated for voters in a climate where it's already difficult to get people to vote in local elections. ...

Federal Judge Overturns Jury’s Verdict, Stirring Outrage in Colorado

By: The Gazette Editorial Board | The Denver Gazette The Trump administration ordered payroll cuts to the bloated federal bureaucracy, and Colorado sued. The administration tried to rein in a runaway budget by paring funding for public broadcasters — which Congress ultimately carried out — and Colorado sued again.  And just this week, a prominent, left-leaning Colorado federal judge lashed out at President Trump’s Justice Department over its “bad faith conduct” — for scheduling an alleged illegal immigrant’s deportation hearing just a day after he challenged his detention in court.  Heavens — we can’t have speedy justice!  In other words, the administration is taking a beating from our state’s ruling class for doing the very things everyday Coloradans have always...
