Here's today's roundup. | 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 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. Read more.

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 was so 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 a data set 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 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.” Read more.

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.

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.
