NYT smears Riley Gaines and XX-XY Athletics while ignoring fairness in women’s sports

By Jennifer Sey | Commentary, Sey Everything Substack It is petty and biased from the lede. And it just gets worse throughout. Yesterday there was a lot going on in the news so you may have missed the long form article about Riley Gaines in The New York Times. Read it if you must, but only to stay motivated to continue the fight for biological reality. It’s a 4000 word takedown of Gaines and the entire movement to protect women’s sports. It is so dishonest and petty. Look, we’re not asking for biased treatment in our direction. How about straight up the middle? You know, reporting? But that seems to be beyond Ruth Graham’s capability. I’ll admit, it annoys me because I’m in it. And I recorded the interview so I know what I said and she leaves out anything I said tha...

The danger of smart without wise: Why Wilson’s ‘expert state’ still haunts America

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Woodrow Wilson’s Fallacy of the Expert State “Intelligence is theoretical math—brilliant, abstract, dazzling to the mind. Wisdom is applied math—the bridge that stands. A society that prizes smartness without wisdom risks mistaking cleverness for truth, and formulas for foundations.” A century ago, Woodrow Wilson bet the future of American governance on intelligence without wisdom. He called it the administrative state: a system where experts—smarter than the rest of us—would manage society with the precision of science. Politics, with its compromises and accountability, was to give way to bureaucracy, with its charts, models, and rules. It was a beautiful formula on paper. But like so many formulas, it mistook cleverness for truth and ...

Mail-in ballots on notice: President Trump moves to restore election integrity

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Substack Everything you need to know about a move that, if successful, would transform all we’ve come to learn about American elections in the modern era. Monday morning started off with a bang, as President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to tell us how he really feels about mail-in voting, and what he wants to do about it: Here are the most important segments of his long message: · Looking to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines (presumably the entire electronic elections infrastructure) · Wanting to install a sophisticated paper balloting system that must be hand counted · Demands timely election results · Mail-in voting enables fraud and lengthy delays used to manipulate results · Executive Order coming soon – intended to c...

Colorado’s path to ruin: How bad policy created crisis and dependency

By Christopher Richardson | Commentary, Substack Colorado stands at a crossroads. For too long, state policy has ignored the basic truths of economics and public safety, and we are now paying the price. The upcoming general session must be more than another exercise in partisan talking points—it must be an honest debate about how we got here, and how we can get back on track. The warning signs are everywhere. Overregulation and endless legal risks have driven businesses out of Colorado. Entrepreneurs hesitate to expand, while larger firms look to friendlier states. The result? Job growth has shifted almost entirely to government payrolls, leaving fewer private-sector opportunities and stagnant wages for working families. At the same time, rising crime has made Colorado less at...

WOLF: Behind the Curtain of Power The Hidden Network Controlling the Narrative

By Dr Naomi Wolf | Commentary, Substack Half the country is up in arms about President Donald Trump’s inexplicable decision to mock his base, because many are appalled that Attorney General Pam Bondi seems to be orchestrating a coverup of a serial rapist of children. Bondi’s Justice Department released a memo last week: “The two-page document said the department found no evidence of an Epstein client list and that no additional files from the investigation would be made public.” President Trump’s response to all this has been startling: He stated that “[O]nly really bad people […] want to keep something like this going.” According to NBC, he also called MAGA supporters of his who are upset at AG Bondi, “weaklings” who “bought into this bull—-t” —. President Trump’s supporters,...

KESHEL: America Bids Farewell to a Hero Who Fought for Faith and Freedom

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Commentary, Substack I spent a lot of my childhood believing I simply wasn’t able to keep up with my peers. A loser mentality, once it sets it, requires substantial effort to permanently discard; the trouble is that the wins needed to find proper self-esteem are so few and far between, the mind becomes conditioned to accept negative outcomes. Picked last again in gym class. Again. Struck out against the slowest pitcher. Again. The girl I like rejected me. Again. It wasn’t until high school that I shook off many of my self-esteem issues, stopped stressing about grades, and started taking part in extracurricular activities. Even then, much of the can’t do mentality stuck with me. I’d have to peg my military career as the point in time in which I feel I f...

Gaines: Colorado’s unelected boards hold the real power—and it’s hurting rural counties

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project Regulatory Capture and Colorado's Unelected Boards I wrote a bit back (see the first link below) about how our state is increasingly turfing what ought to be legislative control to a series of unelected boards, how legislative laziness has effectively handed over control of our state to them.Rulemaking and regulation might make things more efficient, it might enable higher policy output with less time, but it is not without cost. It's one of those costs I want to cover today: policy by unelected board opens us up to control, not by the people, but by industry and (increasingly in Colorado) advocates.This is due to cronyism in board appointments and also what might loosely be termed a form of "regulatory capture" (if you wil...

Hutchins: ‘Free press under fire’ isn’t just a panel title—it’s reality

By Corey Hutchins | Commentary, Inside the News in Colorado, Substack The free press is under fire. That was the theme of a public discussion in Colorado Springs about the ways in which the local journalism industry operates during a time of, shall we say, disruption. On the panel was Gazette Executive Editor Vince Bzdek, former Denver Post Editor Greg Moore, Rocky Mountain PBS CEO Amanda Mountain, Colorado Sun reporter and editor Jesse Paul, and KOAA News5 investigative journalist Alasyn Zimmerman. Will Stoller-Lee, the program chair for the Greenberg Center for Learning and Tolerance, moderated the discussion at the Ent Center for the Arts on the campus of UCCS. Topics ranged from bias and diversity in newsrooms to attacks from Republican Pres...

Hancock: Race is the excuse—power is the prize

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Exposing the Ideological Machine Behind ‘Systemic Racism’ There’s a dirty little secret in American life: Much of what we call “racism” today isn’t really about race at all. It’s about power. It’s about control—of narratives, of institutions, of money, of minds. Race is just the excuse. The lever. The emotional booby trap that gets people to surrender their judgment in the name of justice. We live in a time when invoking racism is more profitable than solving it. More potent than proving it. And more politically useful than letting it die. But let’s be clear: actual racism—an irrational hatred or fear of someone based solely on skin color—is real, evil, and must be condemned wherever it exists. The problem is that’s not what do...
