For far too long, the health, happiness, and well-being of our Nation’s men have been neglected, contributing to a troubling reality: men in the United States have a life expectancy five years shorter than women. They visit healthcare providers less frequently and often delay critical care. Men tend to have their first heart attack an average of 10 years earlier than women. This neglect has been compounded by a vicious campaign against masculinity. This war on manhood has left many American men in a state of loneliness, confusion, and emptiness, with devastating consequences: men in the United States are four times more likely to commit suicide and more than twice as likely to overdose than women. This National Men’s Health Week, I make a solemn pledge to honor the men in America: we will always have your back—and we will never waver in our promise to embolden you to lead...

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews CNBNews photo credit GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (JUNE 13, 2025) (CNBNews)— Photos taken on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, on North Stinson Avenue show piles of dirt left behind by the street sweeper as it traveled towards East Thompson Avenue. On that day, the sweeper deposited dirt in the middle of the street and along the curb, with an additional pile at the corner of East Thompson and North Stinson Avenue. A recurring question from CNBNews and local residents is: Why isn’t water being used to clean the streets and minimize the dust cloud that follows the sweeper as it operates in Riverview Heights and other areas of the city? In our recent Cheers and Jeers column for May 2025, we raised a concern about the Gloucester City sweeper's failure to use water for dust control. This issue has persisted for years; the sweeper often leaves...
