Women of all ages are increasingly finding independent wealth in America. I don’t hear a lot of feminists applauding that but they should if they actually care about freeing women instead of controlling them. Case in point: Donna Mills was Abby on Knots Landing in the 80s. The 85-year-old has already made many six figures on OnlyFans in less than a month. This is not an endorsement of the platform. It is a fact about what Hollywood does to women when they age. The industry stops writing checks. Mills pivoted and it paid. She says the content is suggestive, not explicit. She also says fans ask for odd videos and she plans to deliver some. That’s her call. It’s legal. People are paying. Independence at 85 is still independence. I hope more women keep finding ways to get paid on their own terms. I’d prefer to see them find a wholesome version if they can. But the point is she is not waiting for a network to decide she still matters. Taking initiative can pay in ways you never imagined.

My opinion of Jelly Roll just fell again. I saw that on Thursday he cried about dignity and tried to sound like the peacemaker after he had on Monday called Trump a fat pig. Jelly Roll should’ve just owned his joke. Crying is not an undo button. The fan base he insulted was already gone. The tears did not bring them back. Crying made him look like a man who wanted the cheap laugh and then regretted the fallout. If he wanted to mock Trump, fine. Do it knowing fans will leave. If he had also aimed at Biden or another prominent Democrat, the Trump hit might have landed as equal-opportunity. But he only punched one side, then didn’t like the result. Jelly Roll is scrambling now because he does not seem to know who he wants to be. That is how you get stuck on both sides of the fence. Pick a side. People admire conviction more than perpetual second-guessing. I lost a lot of my liberal friends in advertising when I came out as a Trump supporter. I never doubted the call. I never tried to keep quiet to keep “friends.” It’s fine to change your mind when the facts change. But it’s not fine to backtrack just to keep a crowd that’s not worth keeping. Do that and you lose the crowd and your own self-respect. Don’t be like Jelly Roll. Be yourself. That is what people actually admire. It is also how Trump won the presidency twice.

The Malcolm X assassination files should already be public. A 61-year-old murder record is not a state secret. Keeping it locked this long means the government still thinks it owns the story. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just posted on X asking for those files to be released. She already correctly forced JFK, RFK, and MLK records into the open. This one should not be the exception. If those cases deserved sunlight, this one does too. Two of the three men convicted in the Malcolm X case, Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam, were cleared in 2021 after a review found the FBI and NYPD withheld evidence that likely would have acquitted them. They each served more than 20 years. Islam died before his name was cleared. Malcolm X’s daughters are still in court against the FBI, CIA, and NYPD, arguing those agencies hid records and never finished identifying everyone involved. That is not a footnote. That is a government that buried the files and let the wrong men rot. I want to see the documents. I do not need another theory from the internet. I need the record. If the files are clean, put them out. If they are not, the country has a right to see why the paperwork stayed sealed. Secret files do not age into honesty. Luna is right to push for more sunlight. Transparency is not a favor the government gets to grant when it feels like it. It is the bare minimum after a man is murdered and the official story still has holes in it 61 years later.

Tom Cruise is bringing back Days of Thunder! This is a sequel I’m actually excited about. This is my original AI video. He just announced the sequel on 𝕏 with Anne Hathaway. I cannot imagine what she’s getting paid for this one. I love Cruise because he doesn’t let politics ruin his films. He is there to entertain, and he never stops. That is rare now, and it is inspiring. Cole Trickle is coming back. In IMAX. Summer of 2028. A 64-year-old star is still treating the theater like it matters. Hollywood has spent a decade turning movies into lectures. Cruise has kept making movies people stand in line for. If he is going back to Daytona, good. I’ll be going back to the theaters to watch him do it.

I agree with Elon. I don’t like games where you have to shoot police to advance. That part of GTA always felt gross. Especially now, when too many politicians treat cops as the villains. Police are the people who stand between chaos and the rest of us. Games that force you to gun them down to “win” are teaching the wrong lesson. I’m also not blown away by how GTA VI looks. It’s better than the last ones. It is not better than what AI can already render. Consoles had their era. Owning the box in your living room is starting to look old. The future is rendering offsite on hardware that keeps getting better and streaming it to wherever you are. That future is close.

The Democrat outrage was never about names. It was about who gets to write them. That is why Biden did not just “update” nine bases in 2023. He rebranded them. Fort Bragg became Fort Liberty. That was not respect. That was a political rewrite of places where Americans trained, deployed, and died. Now the same Democrats who spent years rebranding bases are shocked that Trump renamed a lake. Democrats only treat names as sacred when they lose the pen. The renaming under Biden speaks for itself. He renamed stuff to suit a woke agenda. Democrats are not defending history. They are defending their control. When they’re in power they try to erase American history. When they’re out of power they complain when anyone tries to restore it or, God forbid, tries to expand America’s dominance. As for history, these are the nine Army bases the Biden administration wrongly renamed in 2023. Thankfully, Trump undid all of this nonsense: Fort A.P. Hill → Fort Walker Fort Benning → Fort Moore Fort Bragg → Fort Liberty Fort Gordon → Fort Eisenhower Fort Hood → Fort Cavazos Fort Lee → Fort Gregg-Adams Fort Pickett → Fort Barfoot Fort Polk → Fort Johnson Fort Rucker → Fort Novosel

Democrats do not hate renaming. They hate when they do not get to do it. The issue is not names. It is control. They spent a decade turning women into “birthing persons,” Hispanics into “Latinx,” and every school and holiday into a lecture. Then Trump renamed Lake Ontario Lake America and they acted like names were suddenly sacred. Bill Maher pointed out the hypocrisy last night on Real Time when he sarcastically said: you cannot go around renaming things to fit a political agenda. Just ask any Latinx birthing person. Maher is right. The outrage was never about respect. It was about who holds the pen. America names its own lakes. That is not a crisis. That is a country that still belongs to itself.

Michelle Obama does not miss her daughters. She admits it. A mom who had nannies, Secret Service, and a White House still talks about her kids like they ruined Friday night. That’s pure selfishness. She says Barack cried when their kids left for college but that she said goodbye and took her life back. Many mothers raise their kids alone and still miss their children. She had every advantage and treated motherhood like a jail sentence.

Reports say George Clooney’s camp kept Brad Pitt off the Albies in London this October. That is the Clooney Foundation For Justice gala at the Natural History Museum. Twenty-five years of Ocean’s and one more movie together last year, and the photo on the carpet was suddenly too costly. Pitt has spent a decade as the easy villain in a divorce that will not end. He has denied the allegations. That did not matter. The foundation still treated a friend like a liability. That is not courage. That is a guest list with a sermon attached. His kids have even dropped his name. Hollywood took the hint and finished the job. If the friendship only worked when Pitt was still useful, it was never friendship. It was window dressing. Clooney got to keep the human-rights pin. Pitt got the hallway. The man already isolated is the one they drop first. Team Pitt. The gala will survive. Loyalty apparently will not. Friendship’s highest test is when you are low. A friend who abandons you then is worse than an enemy.

Billie Eilish spent years telling the country that wealth is the problem. Then she dropped a new $88 perfume and asked the same fans to buy it. That is not activism. That is a storefront with a sermon attached. You do not get to scold billionaires for keeping too much money and then charge working people nearly a hundred dollars for cocoa and vanilla. You do not get to talk about a broken world and then treat the same audience as a checkout line. The scent is not the issue. The act is. If the lecture was the point, she would not need another product. She needed another product. That is the whole story. Give us a break.

Jelly Roll spent a week on Jimmy Kimmel Live! taking shots at Trump, then used Thursday’s monologue to explain that he is actually in the middle. That is not courage. That is cleanup. He built a career on the same audience he just treated like a punchline. Then he discovered half the country noticed. So he reached for the safest speech in entertainment: I lean a little left, I hunt, I go to church, a handshake is not an endorsement, please still buy the tickets. If the jokes were his, own them. If they were a rental from Kimmel’s writers, say that. What he did instead was insult a sitting president for applause, then hide behind “down the middle” when the receipts came in. You do not get to mock half the country on Monday and lecture them about dignity on Thursday. That is not independent. That is a man reading the room after the room already clapped. Country music fans are not props. Neither is a handshake with the president. Pick a lane or stop pretending the backlash is the mystery.

Megan Rapinoe went after Enes Kanter Freedom on her podcast Why Are You Like This? this week. He answered Thursday on Fox News @ Night with a $5 million 1-on-1 soccer challenge. They were not on the same show. She talked. He answered later. The stunt by Kanter works for one reason. Voices like Rapinoe spent years telling the country that sex in sport is optional. Once that door is open, a former NBA center can walk through it, call it protest, and dare her to prove the gap does not exist. That is not a sideshow. That is the bill coming due. Women’s categories exist because male advantage is not a feeling. It is strength, speed, and bone. Pretend otherwise and you do not get harmony. You get men writing the rules and women absorbing the cost. Kanter is getting airtime because the people who lectured everyone about inclusion refuse to say the obvious sentence: men do not belong in women’s sports. Mock him all you want. The publicity is the product of that refusal. If the argument is honest, she can take the match or she can say no men in the women’s game. Anything else is branding.

Milo Yiannopoulos spent years demanding mass deportations. ICE arrested him Thursday at the New Orleans airport after he overstayed a 2019 entry and skipped a July 22 immigration hearing. Laura Loomer now says his removal flight to the UK has already left, and that he is barred from coming back. If that is true, the rule finally reached the man who treated it like a punchline. That is the point people keep missing. Immigration law is not a costume you wear for the crowd. If you stay after your status expires and skip the hearing, you are in the same category you spent years describing. He once told Joe Rogan he meant “bad immigrants,” not “handsome, charming, successful, blonde-haired British immigrants.” The statute does not grade charm. It grades status. Enforcement that only lands on strangers is not enforcement. It is branding. If the rule is the rule, it applies when the face is famous and when it is not. I do not need a victory lap over a mugshot. I need a country that means what it says. Show up to court. Keep your status current. Or leave. The speech was never supposed to be a hall pass.

A public speaker told the Los Angeles City Council on Aug. 11 that taxpayers should fund “sexual relief clinics” for the homeless. That speaker is not in this video. The proposal itself is not compassion. It is a city so lost it treats addiction, street living, and public disorder as a lifestyle that now needs a taxpayer-built bedroom. Los Angeles City Councilmember Traci Park, who represents the Westside including Venice, is the one speaking here. She was right to kill the proposal on the spot. “No, we’re not doing public sex huts.” The fact that sentence had to be said out loud tells you everything. Help people get off drugs. Help them work. Help them get a door that locks because they earned a life again. Do not spend public money building them a place to have sex on Skid Row and call it equality. A functioning city gets people housed and employed. A failing city workshops their symptoms and sends the bill to everyone else. Los Angeles has already spent billions and still has more than 45,000 people homeless in the city. Another grotesque pilot program will not fix that. Work, sobriety, and order will.

Kamala Harris posted today on the 63rd anniversary of the March on Washington, the day Dr. King spoke at the Lincoln Memorial, and claimed the right to vote is “yet again under attack.” She is pointing at the wrong target. The right to vote is not threatened by asking a voter to prove they are a citizen. It is not threatened by cleaning dead people and noncitizens off the rolls. It is not threatened by requiring an ID the way you already do to fly, drive, or cash a check. What actually weakens the vote is a party that treats those basics as an assault on democracy. Harris spent years selling that story. Then she wrapped it in King’s anniversary and hoped the date would do the work her argument cannot. Americans who are eligible should vote. People who are not citizens should not. That is not an attack on the franchise. That is the franchise. If she wants a fight over voting power, start with the simple rule she will not say out loud: only citizens vote.

President Trump just posted on Truth Social that the United States has closed an oil agreement with Venezuela. Majority U.S. control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven reserves. No cost to the American taxpayer. That is a country putting itself first. “THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY.” Energy is power. A nation that begs for barrels does not set terms. A nation that controls supply does. For decades the world treated American demand like a piggy bank. Wars, cartels, and hostile states pulled the price. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was drained to a 40-year low. That was weakness sold as policy. This deal more than doubles American oil reserves on paper and points the supply at American drivers. Lower pump prices are not a slogan if the barrels are real. They are the point. Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth did this with interim President Delcy Rodriguez and private industry. Credit the action. Personality contests do not fill a tank. Venezuela has the largest proven reserves on earth and spent years wasting them. The United States has the industry to develop them. Mutual interest is not charity. It is the only deal that lasts. America should own its energy future. Tonight that is the direction. Make it stick.

Laura Loomer earned this one. ICE just detained Milo Yiannopoulos, the same man who interned for former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. He overstayed a 2019 visa and skipped his immigration hearing. Homeland Security confirmed it. Fame is not a visa. Last October, Greene said rounding everyone up for deportation was not a smart plan. Then the man she put on her intern roster gets picked up for overstaying. Loomer says he also lived in Greene’s home. Candace Owens has been accused of bringing Milo into hers. If anyone housed him knowing he was here illegally, that is not networking. That is the part that still needs sunlight. Praise the reporting. Then apply the law, and accountability, to every name that gave Milo cover.

Melissa Farris just got indicted for turning the World War II Memorial into a prop. Soap in the fountain. Red paint on the stone. She filmed it. Then she talked like America owed her a stage. That granite is not a billboard. Sixteen million served. Four hundred five thousand never came home. She used their names as background for her grievance. A workplace fight does not entitle you to a spray can. Courts exist. Agencies exist. Cameras exist that do not require you to scrawl a slogan on a tomb paid for by a grateful country. She picked the cheapest stage in Washington and called it courage. This was not protest. It was contempt. You do not honor the dead by making them stand next to your complaint. Jeanine Pirro charged it as a federal crime. Two counts. Ten years each if she is convicted. The hearing is September 3. I want the maximum the statute allows. Anything less tells the next vandal the Greatest Generation is optional. We keep watching people treat American memory like a playground. Then they act stunned when a prosecutor shows up. There should be a bill. There should be a sentence. Farris disparaged the men who beat fascism so she could play martyr on Facebook. Unforgivable. Charge it. Try it. Sentence it like their sacrifice still counts. Remember who that memorial is for. Not her.

President Trump just signed an executive order at Johnson Space Center to begin building the United States Space Academy. Jared Isaacman chairs the commission that will design it. That is an action worth celebrating. Space is the future. Almost everyone has imagined it. Humans came from stardust. Exploring that origin while planting a future on other worlds is not a luxury. It is the kind of work that makes a life feel large. Let go of the personality fight for a minute and look at the act. A nation that wants to stay first on Earth cannot accept second place in space. Trump said it plainly today: “It’s called the U.S. Space Academy. That’s a big deal.” And: “A nation cannot be first on Earth if we’re going to be second in space. Just not going to happen.” West Point trains soldiers. This academy is meant to train the next corps of engineers, operators, civilians, and Space Force leaders who will actually do the work. That is how you turn a dream into a pipeline. Critics will sneer because of who signed it. Fine. The order is still the order. Ambition in space is bigger than one man’s style. A country that stops reaching upward starts shrinking. This is something to get excited about. That kind of excitement is a life worth living.

Bonnie Pierce got out of her burning St. Paul home. Then she ran back in for her toddler. Firefighters found her shielding her daughter with her own body. She had already made it outside. She went back anyway. That is not luck. That is a mother deciding her child’s life was worth more than her own. She died Monday from her injuries. The little girl she covered is expected to recover. Bonnie was 38. She was a mother of four. She used her last minutes as a shield. A lot of people talk about love. Very few would walk back into a fire to prove it. We just watched people stand outside a courthouse for a woman accused of killing her own three children. That circus got attention. Bonnie Pierce gave her life and barely got a fraction of it. Honor does not belong to the spectacle. It belongs to the woman who ran toward the fire. Remember her name. Pray for her children. This is what love looks like when it costs everything.
