Thank you for another great season, @BoilerBall.

Downtown Chicago, if you think this is ok or normal or even acceptable you are part of the problem. Not sure how old anyone is, their race, gender, sexual orientation or financial situation but I do know this isn’t normal.

There isn’t an investment that will fix this behavior.

After two unsuccessful assassination attempts against Trump, the USSS should stop treating him as a candidate. They need to treat him as they would a sitting POTUS, especially by expanding the protective perimeter around him.

Stop being bureaucratic. Do what’s necessary.

If you’re drunk and need to get home, CALL A FUCKING UBER. Two kids are growing up without a dad, parents have lost two sons, & a sister now has to grieve the loss of her two brothers on her wedding day all because somebody decided to get behind the wheel drunk in 2024. Senseless

USA’s Cole Hocker IS COLD BLOODED as he pulls off the MASSIVE UPSET to win Olympic Gold in the 1500m in Paris.

Yared Nuguse took Bronze.

Two Americans haven’t been on the podium of the 1500m at the Olympics since 1912.

USA Middle Distance IS BACK!!!

"Mike - Were you serious about making a movie in time for Independence Day? Something in response to all the anti-American sentiment in the headlines? I sure hope so. The country needs to see something hopeful. But if you’re shooting for July 4th, you’d better hurry…Larry Carson"

Hi Larry
I was serious, and I am hurrying! Here’s what I can tell you as of now.

The movie won’t resemble anything you’ve seen in a theater before. It isn’t a documentary, but neither is it a work of fiction. There are many actors, but none of them are famous, and there is no screenplay. At least, not in the traditional sense. And it doesn’t quite have the budget that Kevin Costner’s epic western has, which I’m told will premiere the same week. (Gulp)

The movie consists of nine short stories written for my podcast, all of which I present from the stage of an empty theater, and all of which have been brought to life with cinematic recreations. Each story is a mystery of sorts, that tells you something you probably don’t know about someone you probably do – in most cases, a famous American who risked everything to give us the country we all call home. Your job, as viewers of my podcast know, is to try and figure out who I'm talking about before I get to the end.

My hope in doing this is to leave you feeling better about our country, better about the people who helped build it, and less divided from those Americans who might vote this November for someone you personally despise. I’m going to call the movie Something to Stand For, but I promise, it won’t be political. There will be no mention of conservatives, liberals, democrats, republicans, independents, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, RFK Jr., or anyone else who might run for office. It will, however, be patriotic, and unapologetically so.

Over the course of the film, I’ll drive to Washington DC, (Rowe’d Trip!) and meet with a few people who share my interest in our nation’s history, including the soldiers, Marines, and Park Rangers who look after our most beloved memorials and monuments. These interactions, along with some delightfully unanticipated encounters, will play out between the aforementioned stories. I just got back from filming that part of the movie, and it was awesome. I’ve attached a few photos, and I’ll share a lot more later.

The movie is being assembled as we speak, and it looks great. I'm told we’ll be in theaters nationwide starting on June 27th. With luck, we’ll still be there by July 4th. I’m working on the trailer now, along with a website where you’ll be able to get tickets in advance. As always, I’ll share the details here first. After that, I'll be flogging it harder than my mother's fourth book, which is coming later this year.

PS. Though Something to Stand For is not a “political film,” it was inspired by the ongoing war on the symbols of America, a war of vandalism waged by those who believe the present by erasing the past. Obviously, I have no expectation that this movie will persuade anyone who dons a mask and defaces our national memorials to rethink their worldview, because I’m pretty sure none of those people will ever see this movie. I do, however, believe there are lots of people on both sides of the aisle who are disgusted by their behavior and still love America, in spite of the imperfections of our founders, and the obvious fact we have not yet achieved the “more perfect union” they envisioned. This movie is for them – that still sizeable population who identify as Americans, first and foremost. Americans of all races who genuinely care about our shared history, and understand that even though our nation is still a work in progress - and always will be - there are still a great many things worth standing for.

For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting whatever financial support you might earmark for the Ivy League, to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Why? Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind.
Consider the latest madness at Columbia University, where the president, Minochuhe Shafik, has announced a new round of remote learning - effective immediately - in response to a noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel.
If I had a kid at Columbia, I’d be livid. It’s simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning, than permanently expel the protesters. I mean, seriously, what does it take to get expelled from Columbia? These creeps are on camera, literally screaming into the faces of Jewish students.
“They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, ‘Strike, strike Tel Aviv,” said one terrified student. Followed by, “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,” “Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too.”
In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, “Al-Qasam’s next targets.”
That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia – an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews. For the love of God, expel them. Calling for murder is not protected speech.
In the meantime, mikeroweWORKS is accepting applications for our next round of work ethic scholarships. Deadline is the end of the month. It’s worth noting that the careers we’re training people for cannot be taught, or preformed, remotely. It’s also worth mentioning that we accept donations year-round and spend the money we take in with great discretion. You can apply for a scholarship, or donate, at https://t.co/ju76O0XWgC.

You should have said this yesterday, live, in-person and on camera.

Not today, after your PR firm told you you needed to clean it up.

It’s too late now. It’s not credible.

Years from now, a lot of Downers Grove North basketball fans will say they saw the historic win over Kenwood.

Many of them will be telling the truth, based on how many fans packed UIC to the rafters on Monday.
