In his 99 years on the planet, Ken Akune has been sorted into many bins.
The first was Nisei, the term for second-generation Japanese Americans born in the United States. Akune had lived in both the United States and Japan and his family was divided between the two.
The second bin was “evacuee.”
That was the term given to 18-year-old Akune, his brother Harry and 7,000 other Japanese Americans shipped out to the Granada Relocation Center in Colorado at the start of World War II because of worries about their loyalty. Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 forcibly removed them from their home on the West Coast to a remote plain of sage and dust in southeastern Colorado, known simply as Amache.

DENVER (KDVR) — It’s Memorial Day Weekend, and all across the United States, citizens will travel to National Cemeteries to pay tribute to the lives of friends, family, community members or even complete strangers who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. military.
Crowds of people will gather in the burial grounds, but not a peep will be heard as a moment of silence is held for the fallen.
Every May, the sound of motorcycles echoes across America—not for show, but for something much more meaningful. Run For The Wall is a cross-country ride that honors the fallen and brings healing to those still carrying the weight of war. It begins in California and ends in Washington, D.C.
This year I had the privilege of joining the ride for part of its journey, riding the Central Route from Gallup, New Mexico, to Colorado.
We rolled out of Gallup with nearly 500 motorcycles, riding two-by-two in a tight, powerful formation. New Mexico State Police escorted us across the entire state, blocking every exit, every intersection.

In a powerful show of momentum heading into the midterms, President Donald Trump’s political operation has amassed a substantial war chest of hundreds of millions of dollars. With grassroots enthusiasm at an all-time high and donors large and small fueling the charge, Trump’s team is positioned to reshape Congress and support candidates who will stand up for conservative values, secure borders, and economic freedom.

One question persists in American education: How pervasive are the stories of kindergartners learning about transgenderism or high-schoolers waving Hamas flags in hallways? Among the four million teachers in the U.S. there will inevitably be cranks and ideologues who mistake their lectern for a pulpit. Examination of a typical American school district in a typical American town reveals that the progressive mismanagement of school districts extends beyond the dark-blue borders of San Francisco and Portland, Ore.

DENVER — U.S. Congress is considering banning states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years, adding uncertainty to the future of Colorado’s AI law.
In 2024, Colorado became the first state to pass a comprehensive law regulating artificial intelligence.
“A.I. in general is just changing so rapidly all the time,” said State Rep. Brianna Titone, one of the prime sponsors of Senate Bill 24-205.
Have you heard of climate realism? It varies depending on who uses it, but in general the term refers to acknowledging that while fossil fuels are contributing to climate change, it’s not an existential threat demanding immediate, drastic action. It describes a view that the proper response to climate change is mitigating the downside while understanding that reliable, abundant and affordable energy from fossil fuels prevents a whole host of problems we could have if we simply left them in the ground.

(TNND) — A new report from the Senate Homeland Security Committee accuses federal health agencies of failing to adequately warn the public about potential side effects of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, particularly the risk of myocarditis in young men. The report suggests that the Biden administration downplayed these risks to avoid increasing vaccine hesitancy.
Dr. Jordan Vaughn, President of the Microvascular Research Foundation, testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday, during the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations’ first hearing about the negative side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, criticizing the decision by public health officials in 2021 not to issue a Health Alert Network message when increased risks from the COVID-19 vaccine became apparent.
“Literally the job of the FDA. The job of CDC is to actually regulate our products and inform practitioners and people about the dangers that they might see as soon as they see them,” said Vaughn. He added, “That health alert notice would’ve told physicians to be on the lookout for this because this is happening.”
