Memorial Day Calls Americans To Remember The Fallen And Live With Purpose

By Mike Glover | Commentary, Substack Memorial Day means something different once you’ve buried friends. For a lot of Americans, it has become another long weekend. A kickoff to summer. Barbecues, travel plans, sales, days at the lake. And there’s nothing wrong with families spending time together. In fact, that freedom is exactly what generations of American warriors fought to preserve. But Memorial Day was never intended to be casual. It is a day rooted in sacrifice. Not service in general. Not patriotism in the abstract. Not politics. Sacrifice. It is the remembrance of men who never came home. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that one of the greatest responsibilities we carry as the living is the responsibility to remember and share the stories of those ...

When Christmas came under fire: Remembering Bastogne

By A History Buff | Commentary, Grounds For Truth Substack It’s easy to romanticize Christmas during wartime—the carols echoing through snow-covered fields, soldiers sharing a quiet moment of peace amid the chaos. But for the men of the 101st Airborne Division hunkered down in Bastogne, Belgium, in December 1944, the holiday was a raw test of endurance, grit, and unshakeable faith. This isn’t one of those well-worn tales from Band of Brothers; it’s a quieter story, drawn from letters, diaries, and the memories of those who lived it. A story of American boys far from home, holding the line against overwhelming odds, with the spirit of Christmas—the birth of hope in the darkest hour—keeping them going. And yeah, it involves that famous one-word reply that still makes you chuck...

How Communists hijacked the term “Capitalism” and reframed liberty as greed

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Michael Hancock’s Undercurrent The Forgotten Story of How Marx Turned Freedom into a Vice Adam Smith, the moral philosopher who helped end the slave trade, has been posthumously slandered by the very ideology that claims to speak for the oppressed. In The Wealth of Nations, Smith described what he called a System of Natural Liberty — a moral and economic order in which free people pursue their own interests within the bounds of justice, producing prosperity for all. It was not a celebration of greed; it was an argument for dignity. Yet, over time, this moral vision was stripped of its name, smeared with vice, and relabeled with a single word that Smith himself rarely used: capitalism. That linguistic theft was not accidental. It was strategic. The Mor...

Colorado’s clean-energy crusade looks a lot like Germany’s—and that should scare us

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Michael Hancock’s Undercurrent A warning for Colorado before it repeats Europe’s green mistakes. Germany tried to save the planet — and ended up saving nothing, not even itself. The same ideology that shut down its nuclear plants, drove up energy prices, and gutted its industries is now being repackaged in Colorado under the banner of “climate justice.” The warnings are flashing red, but our leaders seem too busy chasing virtue to notice the cliff ahead. Germany once led the world in renewable energy. It also now leads it in self-inflicted economic decline. After spending hundreds of billions of euros to “go green,” the country that once symbolized industrial excellence now faces soaring energy prices, factory closures, and an exodus of jobs. ...

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...

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...

TABOR Didn’t Build the Potholes

By Michael Hancock | Commentary, Undercurrent Substack Bureaucracy and pet projects did — and it’s time to realign our priorities. Colorado’s roads crumble, our classrooms overflow, and every budget cycle we hear the same refrain: “It’s TABOR’s fault.” Critics of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights insist that this constitutional guardrail has starved government of the resources it needs to educate children, maintain infrastructure, and keep the state running. But what if the potholes and crowded classrooms aren’t a symptom of too little revenue, but of misplaced priorities? The truth is, Colorado’s budget has grown steadily for years. Billions more flow into the state’s coffers than a decade ago. Yet the very areas citizens rely on most—roads, schools, public safety—continue to lag. TA...

Freedom, Our Forgotten Birthright: Dogged Vaccine Rejection Should Stimulate Curiosity

By Brianna Ladapo | Commentary, Embracing the Light Substack Wednesday marked a momentous event that will undoubtedly change the course of history. When Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s courageous and brilliant Surgeon General (and yes, my wonderful husband) announced Florida’s intention to end all vaccine mandates, it was a pivotal and long-awaited victory for health freedom. At the moment of announcement, the crowd erupted with a liberated jubilance that only manifests when souls have finally broken free of their bondage after years of desperation, determination, and defiance. The wild cheering and applause was deafening, matched only by the sobs of relief and gratitude. It was a truly beautiful moment of divinity, and a welcome harbinger of things to come. However, not everyone is hap...

Space Command exit shows economic cost of political games in Colorado

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Commentary, Captain K’s Corner, Substack $1 billion in economic value is moving to Northern Alabama, and there is plenty more monetary damage to dish out if Colorado wants to keep political prisoners behind bars. Economic impacts can slice like double-edged swords. Everyone who voted for President Trump last year did so knowing tariffs could cause short-term pain to some of his own voters while simultaneously strengthening an America-first economic outlook. Likewise, one state getting richer in an industry’s move across state lines means another state is getting poorer, impacting not only employees, but those engaging in peripheral business or adjacent industries. We’ve seen this over and over in the culture war with gun and ammo dealers relocating from blue to...
