Kevin LaRose, 8647<p>I’ve seen many posts over the past day concerning the death of Hulk Hogan. Many have been, to put i t nicely, less than respectful, and there has been pushback on that. Having never been a wrestling fan, I’ve only been familiar with Hulk through his cultural impact. I think this <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Substack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Substack</span></a> essay lays out a good argument in favor of those with a less than positive outlook on him. It makes some salinet points, at the very least. <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/jaredyatessexton/p/no-heroes-no-kings-notes-on-childhood?r=5jw1z&amp;utm_medium=ios" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/jaredyat</span><span class="invisible">essexton/p/no-heroes-no-kings-notes-on-childhood?r=5jw1z&amp;utm_medium=ios</span></a></p>

That's weird. With scripts blocked, I can read the whole article no problem. I mean, it *is* Hyper TEXT Markup Language, after all. Enabling scripts leads to a pop-up modal begging for an email address.

Seeing Things – Trump’s Games – by Liza Donnelly – July 21, 2025

Trump’s Games, Don’t fall for them, by Liza Donnelly, Jul 21, 2025

As we rightfully obsess about the Jeffrey Epstein files, and whether or not the uncovering of that whole story will lead to the take-down of Trump, I fear the masterminds of Project 2025 are working to disrupt midterm elections. I am sure they are. Trump is trying to distract all of us, but particularly his base, by throwing stuff out, calling for the renaming of football teams and other stupid ideas. Trump is hoping his base is will be lured away.

Here is a NY Times article which is very informative on Epstein and Trump, I highly recommend it. An Epstein accuser told the FBI years ago to look into Trump for behavior she witnessed. Maria Farmer was among the first women to report Epstein sexual crimes back in 1996 when, according to a new interview with the Times, she also identified Trump among others close to Epstein as worthy of attention. I know more will come out.

In the meantime:

Republicans are attempting to redraw the voting map for Texas as the state is recovering from the devastating floods.

“It is more than redistricting. It’s really theft,” said Democratic representative Al Green, whose Houston-area congressional district is likely to be one targeted by Republicans in a redrawn map. “It’s the kind of election theft that you use when you realize that you can’t win playing with the hand that you’ve been dealt. So, you decide that you’ll just rearrange the cards so that they favor you.”

Opponents of redistricting launched a website, StopTheTexasSteal.com, which accuses the Republican majority of using the flooding for partisan gain and is raising money.

Trump is eyeing other states for possible redistricting.

Trump is laser focused on the races for 2026. He is using money to fund Republican candidates and looking to recruit new ones. The administration is traveling to key battleground states to try to sell (and lie about) his recent bill, which is very unpopular at the moment, even with his base.

He is promoting those candidates who he thinks will win and do his bidding, and punishing those members of the GOP who have crossed him.

Is this a distraction, as well as a horrific implementation of Project 2025? Immigration officals are going to escalate arrests in New York and other cities. Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said, “Sanctuary cities are now our priority. We’re gonna flood the zone.” A week or so ago, there was a story about how ICE went to a ball park in NYC to interogate young little league players.

Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.

Since yesterday, I have found nothing to eat except these two things just 48 hours’ worth: a cup of coffee made from ground lentils and a single fig I stumbled upon, which cost me five dollars. And yet, I consider myself lucky.

We are not exaggerating. Days pass by with no food, and we are slowly being drained ya world, can you hear us?
Stand with us❤️🙏

Hilarious.

I called out this resistance grifter mastodon.social/@mvario/
for sharing a "news story" from a site that was 5 days old that falsely claimed that Mamdani was blocked by Instagram and it had leaked memos that Instagram blocked Mamdani because they hated socialism

Laughably bad but boosted by @lisamelton and replied to by @Gargron . The #substack dude blocked me and left the post up
