Rest in Peace Hulk Hogan


Wrestling and Hollywood legend Hulk Hogan died on Thursday. He was 71.

The towering figure lived a storied life, using his ”Hulkamania” energy to
reach the top of America’s movie and wrestling industries and become one of the
country’s most recognizable figures. He bridged sports and entertainment like
few others, making him a household name across continents.

Donald Trump reacted <[link removed]>
to the news on Truth Social, calling Hogan a “great friend” who “entertained
fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive.”

Hogan gave a speech unlike any other at last year’s Republican National
Convention.You can watch it here <[link removed]>.

Trump Moves to Rid America’s Streets of Homelessness


We recently heard a story about an Eastern European’s visit to the United
States. The woman wasso blown away by America’s homelessness problem that she
whipped out her phone and took pictures of a sidewalk encampment. She literally
couldn’t believe her eyes.

We do not have to live like this. Plenty of other countries correctly view
drug addicts residing and shooting up on their street corners as beneath their
standards, and they refuse to allow it. America should do the same.

Donald Trump took a step in the right direction on Thursday, signing an
executive order calling on states and cities to end “endemic vagrancy” and
rehouse homeless people, including druggies and the mentally ill, in “treatment
centers.”

The order redirects federal funding to prioritize “shifting homeless
individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through
the appropriate use of civil commitment.” It also reports that over 274,000
people slept on the streets each night under Joe Biden.Read more

Biden Book Deal Pales in Comparison to Other Presidents


Bill Clinton sold his presidential memoir for $15 million upon leaving office.
That’s roughly $27 million in today’s dollars. Barack Obama made $65 million
off his. Given those numbers, you might expect presidents since those two to
earn even larger sums for their books. That was clearly the market’s direction.
Then Joe Biden showed up.

The newly retired career politician sold his book for $10 million this week,
falling considerably short of what his Democrat predecessors made. The memoir
will reportedly focus on Biden’s four years in the White House, doubtlessly
serving as a Karine Jean-Pierre-level propaganda tool to brainwash Americans
into thinking the 46th president had any idea what went on inside his
administration.

How will Democrats react to this disappointing deal? Will they accuse
publishers who didn’t want to shell out north of $60 million for the confused
former president’s written ramblings of ageism? Of being secret Trump fanatics?
Will Hunter Biden sit for a profanity-laced interview, calling them names we
shouldn’t write in this newsletter? And what about when the public inevitably
doesn’t buy the book? Will that be grounds for “threat to democracy” charges?
We wouldn’t be surprised.Read more

Bipartisan Bill Embraces Internet Censorship


Washington’s establishment often obsesses over bipartisanship, painting
interparty cooperation as an ironclad symbol of American resolve. That
perspective fails to acknowledge the fact that oftentimes, the two parties
agree on bad things. We saw a great example this week.

Congressmen Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Don Bacon (R-NE) reintroduced their
internet censorship bill on Wednesday, proposing to require social media
companies to submit content-moderation reports to the government, including
information on any identified violations. The bill would also make companies
issue specific policies for groups Washington subjectively designates as
terrorists and fine them $5 million per day if they fail to comply.

The legislation’s goal is clear: push social media companies to act even more
like an arm of government censorship. Even if you’re against hate, which we
are, that should be of concern. The bill isn’t really about stopping “hate
speech.” It’s about control.Read more

U.S. Fertility Rate Hits All-Time Low


The U.S. fertility rate dropped to an all-time low of 1.6 children per woman
in 2024. That figure comes from adata set
<[link removed]> the CDC released on
Thursday.

It’s easy to blame this disturbing trend on young people for being selfish or
not family-oriented, but those explanations ignore the difficult conditions
under which our next generation lives. Costs for things like groceries and
housing are overwhelming, leading people to struggle to support themselves, let
alone think about raising a child. College debt is exploding, yet white-collar
jobs are not easily accessible. And that’s not to mention America’s new
“remote” culture, which isolates young adults and makes finding someone to
start a family with even more challenging.

Rather than obsessing over foreign wars, we hope the government will aim its
focus on solving those problems. America will not remain a superpower if its
people are uninvested in the country, and having kids is the best way to
prevent that. The Trump administration has taken positive steps like expanding
the Child Tax Credit, but there remains plenty more to be done.Read more

DOJ Sues Eric Adams over Sanctuary Policies


Saturday’s Border Patrol agent shooting
<[link removed]>
served as one of many examples of the consequences of open borders. They
create anarchy.

Sanctuary cities play a major role in fueling that chaos. Local governments
refuse to help the feds deport illegal criminals, and that’s somehow okay? It’s
entirely possible that last weekend’s brutal crime would not have happened if
New York were not one of those sanctuary cities. The Trump administration
understands that, and they’re doing something about it.

The DOJ sued New York City and Eric Adams on Thursday, arguing that the Big
Apple’s policies are limiting law enforcement’s ability to uphold the law.

“Just this week, New York City’s sanctuary policies have reaped tragic
consequences,” federal attorneys wrote.

We hope the suit succeeds. Read more

I SMELL A RAT: Chuck E. Cheese Mascot Arrested


Many Americans have fond childhood memories of times at Chuck E. Cheese. The
restaurant arcades are a Mecca for your average 10-year-old.

Children having a fun day at the chain’s Tallahassee establishment received a
shocking surprise on Thursday when police hauled Chuck E. Cheese himself out of
the building in handcuffs.

Officers reportedly arrived at the scene with an arrest warrant for the man
dressed as the signature rodent, who allegedly committed three felonies related
to credit card fraud. They cuffed him up, yanked him from the arcade, and
detained him for booking “right in the middle of a children’s birthday party.”

Commentary


The Ultimate Subversion


This network is passionately anti-abortion. We view the “medical procedure” as
killing. Plain and simple.

With that being said, we don’t hate anyone who’s ever received an abortion.
Those decisions can be made under duress and out of desperation. People can do
terrible things without being inherently evil. It’s one of the most stinging
truths about humanity.

The people who push for abortions are a different story. Bill Clinton
famously said that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare” during his 1992
presidential run, establishing himself as pro-choice but recognizing that the
act of terminating a pregnancy should not be celebrated. It’s a tragedy, and
Clinton seemed to know it. Today’s Democrats sing a different tune.

Abortions aren’t just acceptable, they’re great, they shriek during pink-hat
protests.You should get one. Everyone should. And once you do, take to the
streets and scream about it. Shout your abortion! Tell the world that getting
an abortion makes you morally superior. Demand immediate worship.

That’s hardly an exaggeration, and the message is spreading like wildfire.

R&B singer Victoria Monét appeared on Michelle Obama’s self-worship podcast
earlier this week, revealing that members of her professional circle pressured
her to get an abortion when she was pregnant with her daughter.

“When you're an artist, though you're a human, you're technically the
business," she said. "So, to have to explain to someone who is a partner in
your business that your business may slow down because of pregnancy, is
difficult, but it's also something that you're supposed to feel celebratory
about."

Her employer also subjected her to a PowerPoint presentation on how difficult
and expensive raising a child is. They went all-in on pushing for abortion.

How sad is that? The point of work is not simply to work. It’s to earn a
living to support a family. That truth becoming lost, and corporate culture
viewing employees as cogs solely designed to generate profit, rather than
individuals with souls, is among modern society’s most tragic developments. Any
company that demands you get back to the mines instead of starting a family is
your absolute enemy. They don’t care about your humanity, individualism, or
general well-being in the slightest. Even if their paychecks are good, they
view you as a slave.

You’ll probably be glad to hear that Monét resisted the pressure, continued
the pregnancy, and had the child. She now describes motherhood as “the biggest
blessing,” which it is. And she no longer works for her former employer. Thank
God.

This Day in History


July 25, 1898: U.S. forces invade Puerto Rico. With little resistance and only
seven deaths, the Americans secured the island by mid-August and formalized
authority over its one million inhabitants after the U.S. signed an armistice
with Spain. The Treaty of Paris officially ended the Spanish-American War in
December, definitively approving the cession of Puerto Rico to the United
States. Read more
