AT LAST AND JUST IN TIME FOR FATHER'S DAY 2028---ALEX BERENSON'S "THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO

MAY 24, 2026 ALEX BERENSON

In December, I told you I was writing what I called a “manifesto on fatherhood” - an argument against the way our culture has devalued fathers and stoicism in parenting, combined with specific tips about ways to be a better dad.

Now the piece, called (wait for it) “The Fatherhood Manifesto,” is done. It’s over 11,000 words - 50 booklet-sized pages. I’m releasing it June 7, two weeks before Father’s Day. I’ll have more to say about it, including an excerpt, and why I wrote it, soon.

For now, let me say this: Over decades as an author and journalist, I have learned that when I (or anyone) puts out something like this - a fresh, provocative, unexpected piece of writing - there’s no way to predict how it will do. Readers may embrace the idea, or ignore it. No one can know until it’s set free in the world.

ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND FOR THE CROTON LIONS CLUB

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

(Click on the photos.)

The Croton Lions were busy again last weekend at CVS and Bagels on the Hudson selling 50/50 Raffle tickets. Last year the winner received $1400 and the club the other $1400. Those funds went back to the Croton community through the local disaster relief effort (fire victims), scholarships, LionsSEE vision program, Croton boosters, police and EMS, free medical equipment loans and almost 30 more charities.

This year, the Lions were able to increase the amount of their three scholarships to deserving graduating CHHS seniors from $3,000 to $5,000 thanks to the generosity of our village.

There is still time to purchase raffle tickets. They are on sale at the Croton Diner anytime and at Summerfest, June 7th all day until the drawing at 5pm.

Lions Pete Tsagarakis and Pete Rogers at CVS, Bob Anderson with Membership Chair Leslie Anderson at Bagels and Lion Sharon Kullberg selling raffle tickets.

“We Serve” and we thank you all for your donations to the services we provide. To learn more about the croton Lions, visit our website:

ANOTHER DETRANSITIONER WINS A HUGE SETTLEMENT

Cases like this are likely to reshape gender medicine for years to come, as doctors, therapists, and hospitals face growing legal and financial pressure over how quickly irreversible procedures were approved for vulnerable patients. The era of rubber-stamping gender interventions after cursory evaluations appears to be coming to an end, with malpractice lawsuits succeeding where internal oversight and medical institutions failed.

RIP ANGELICA DOMROSE

One of the very first "all In German with subtitles" films your editor ever saw was this one at a small but very nice art theatre on the upper east side. Domrose was wonderful in the part. FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP:

Angelica Domröse

On 15 May 2026, German actress Angelica Domröse (1941) passed away in Berlin. She was one of the most famous actresses of former East Germany. Domröse became a superstar through her role as the young mother Paula in the cult classic Die Legende von Paul und Paula (1973). The actress was 85. SEE AND READ MORE AT
