<p>On the surface, Victoria Sinis is indistinguishable from so many other marketing professionals.</p>
<p>Young, vivacious, and personable, the twenty-something Australian seems like she does PR for a cosmetics company or a trendy tech startup.</p>
<p>But Sinis’ job was something else entirely. For eight<b> </b>months, she trolled social media sites for girls who seemed underage or “barely legal,” and coaxed them into posting explicit content on OnlyFans.</p>
<p>The job was easier than it may seem. All she had to do was lie.</p>
<p>“If we had approached them with the truth and said, ‘Hey, do you want to sign up to do porn? We’ll take 20% of your income. You’re probably not going to earn a lot. You&#8217;re going to have to do some really extreme things. You&#8217;d be like, ‘No!’” Sinis told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Instead, she and the other recruiters messaged potential porn performers about their positive “vibe,” and invited them to lavish parties on yachts or fly them in to stay at villas in exotic locales.</p>
<p>Recruiters “show girls this lifestyle, and then say, ‘Would you like to be an OnlyFans creator and maximize your earnings?’” Sinis says.</p>
<p>While influencers parade high-rise apartments and luxury vacations on social media, the average OnlyFans creator earns about $180 a month.</p>
<p>“There’s a cultural myth that you can just sell feet pics and buy a Mercedes,” Sinis says. “But it’s a full-time job for very little return. We had girls post 20 videos a day across five accounts. We had SEO experts, lighting setups, even script templates.”</p>
<p>Sinnis worked at an OnlyFans agency, one of thousands of such companies that have sprung up to exploit both performers and their customers, who believe they’re purchasing access to these women.</p>
<p>While precise statistics are hard to come by, it has been estimated that there are roughly 3,000-5,000 such small agencies globally, and around 300-500 larger, <a href="https://www.creditdonkey.com/best-onlyfans-agency.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more established agencies</a> with significant client rosters and operations. Along with the 20% they pay to OnlyFans, managed performers also have to fork over a hefty commission of their usually meager earnings to them.</p>
<p>The existence of these agencies reveals the demand for adult content on OnlyFans, which was launched in 2016 with the promise that it would allow celebrities and influencers to monetize their content by selling it directly to fans.</p>
<p>At first, OnlyFans did not allow “not safe for work” content. But the platform lifted that prohibition in 2017, and the adult performers began flocking to the site. As COVID lockdowns fueled digital consumption in 2020, that trend only grew.</p>
<p>Today, it&#8217;s estimated that between <a href="https://social-rise.com/blog/onlyfans-statistics">70% and 80%</a> of OnlyFans’ 3 million creators are considered “not safe for work.”</p>
<p>Sinis joined her agency shortly after graduating with a marketing degree. She’d been working in hospitality, but when some friends approached her to join their company, she thought it seemed harmless. And she enjoyed working with her clients, women her agency euphemistically called “content creators,” many of whom she describes as funny and sweet.</p>
<p>As a recruiter, Sinis was tasked with convincing young women who had already built up a following posting risqué photos on Instagram or TikTok to take it one step further to overt “sex work.”</p>
<p>Her employer had a very specific target in mind.</p>
<p>“We recruited based on how young [the women] looked,” Sinis told The Daily Wire. Because girls who looked like they could plausibly be labeled “teen,” “fresh 18,” or “barely legal” made the most money, she and her fellow recruiters cold-messaged girls who looked underage or newly-adult and dazzled them with promises of potential wealth.</p>

<p>TikTok channels like The BOP House (short for Baddies on Point), which features a host of OnlyFans girls living in an L.A. mansion, boasting of their seven- and eight-figure earnings, have helped make the pitch easy. Convinced that they can earn massive incomes selling their bodies, some young tween and teen girls, Sinis says, are already filming pornographic content to prove their “experience” to OnlyFans recruiters, hopeful they might one day occupy the digital successor to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion.</p>
<p>What recruiters don’t mention: these girls won’t make much at all, unless they’re willing to film the most explicit and extreme content.</p>
<p>At Sinis’ agency, creators were asked what “level” of content they were comfortable filming. The scale ran from posing in lingerie (Level 1) to “everything but anal” (Level 4), and finally, violent sex and other hardcore acts (Level 5).</p>
<p>“Very quickly, we dropped Level 1 because it didn’t make money,” she says. That meant all the girls they recruited pretty much started at Level 2 — implied nudity. The recruiter’s job was to convince the women to advance through the levels.</p>
<p>“It isn’t, ‘You must do this,’” Sinis explains. “It’s more subtle than that. We would say things to the girls like, ‘This custom request for some explicit performance is worth $500. Are you sure you want to pass that up?’”</p>
<p>“We call it consent but really we were slowly wearing the women down. When a girl would say no to a custom video, and then get offered $1,000, we would continue to push them with, ‘Hey, we’re just checking in. Totally up to you though.’ But it’s not. It’s coercion.”</p>
<p>Some custom requests weren’t even sexual — just dark. One man, for instance, wanted a fake video of a man hanging off a ledge while a woman stepped on his fingers. These darker requests were what finally caused Sinis to question the work she was doing.</p>
<p>“When virtual sadism doesn’t cut it, what’s next — real violence?” she asks. “We are feeding violent, sexualized fantasies. And then we’re surprised when those fantasies spill into the real world.”</p>
<p>After visiting a church service one weekend and thinking of all the women she helped bring into porn, she tendered her resignation.</p>
<p>“I was crying every day, unable to open my laptop when I got to work,” she says. “I kept asking my coworkers, &#8216;Do you think it’s okay, what we do?&#8217;”</p>
<p>What they do is feed delusions — not just to the women they recruit, but to the men who subscribe.</p>
<p>OnlyFans’ appeal is that, unlike other pornographic websites, it allows subscribers to have a seeming personal interaction with performers. But subscribers who “chat” with performers often aren’t interacting with the women on screen.</p>
<p>“We hired chatters, cheap labor from the Philippines, who worked 12- to 16-hour days pretending to be these women,” Sinis says. These workers are given scripts and trained in the “girlfriend experience,” keeping men emotionally tethered, often believing they have genuine relationships with the creators.</p>
<p>“It plays on male loneliness, on their emotional vulnerability,” Sinis tells The Daily Wire. “We exploited men for profit just as much as we did the women performing.” This included training the “chatters” on upselling custom requests.</p>
<p>Sinis believes these men, often married or isolated, aren’t paying for explicit content so much as the sense of intimacy and validation it gives them.</p>
<p>“I had a guy tell me he thought he had a real connection. I had to break it to him: it’s all scripted. You&#8217;re talking to a stranger, quite possibly another man, on another continent.”</p>
<p>Nowhere are these false relationships more harmful than with young men. Children, on average, first see pornography at age 12, though some are exposed to explicit content as young as seven. Studies show that rising pornography consumption is fueling an epidemic of emotional withdrawal, and causing a sharp drop in dating and relationships among Gen Z males.</p>
<p>“I met a 13-year-old boy in Georgia who broke down in tears telling me he watches porn and no one knows,” Sinis recalled. “The shame, the secrecy — it’s soul-crushing.”</p>
<p>Since leaving the industry, Sinis has begun to consider how we might roll back the damage that porn is doing to society. As someone who’s been on the inside, her prescription for change isn’t limited to legislation, though she supports age verification laws like those passed in Utah.</p>
<p>Instead, she advocates for cultural revolution: equipping parents, educating children early, and building a counter-narrative that emphasizes the importance of marriage, family, and faith.</p>
<p>“We need to stop shaming young men and women, and start attacking the real enemy: the $97 billion porn industry that’s consuming them both,” she says.</p>
<p>“This world has light and darkness,” Sinis said. “And OnlyFans feeds the darkness.&#8221;</p>

<p>Social media erupted this weekend over an alleged racial comment WNBA player Brittney Griner made about opponent Caitlin Clark, who is white.</p>
<p>Unconfirmed reports floated on X and Instagram highlighting video of Griner after she fouled out of Friday&#8217;s game against the Indian Fever, the team Clark plays for. Griner&#8217;s alleged to have made a comment about Clark and the referee being &#8220;f***ing white girls.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Brittney Griner, whom Biden traded for the Merchant of Death, called Caitlin Clark and the white female ref: &#8216;Trash, f***ing white girls&#8217; after getting fouled out,&#8221; Outkick reporter Bobby Burack posted, captioning video of the alleged incident.</p>

<p>Comments online say a full-blown investigation would have been launched if the alleged racial comment was made against a black player. Others stood up for Clark and suggested some in the WNBA are jealous of her success.</p>
<p>&#8220;Holy s*** this is getting ridiculous,&#8221; one comment liked by hundreds of people reads. &#8220;[Caitlin Clark] is the WNBA&#8217;s generational player that is finally going to put this league on the map and these women can&#8217;t get over their petty jealousy and enjoy the fruits about to come their way.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I don’t appreciate the new fans that sit there and yell racial slurs at myself, my teammates, and the people that I play against because, yeah, those are my best opponents but those are friends too,&#8221; Griner said at the time.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The feud between President Donald Trump and pop star Taylor Swift has reignited, with Trump declaring himself the victor in a Truth Social post.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she&#8217;s no longer ‘HOT?’&#8221; the president </span><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114517718765768352"><span style="font-weight: 400;">shared</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with his followers on Friday morning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The animosity between Swift and Trump is not new. In September 2024, Trump posted “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” days after the singer revealed on Instagram that she endorsed Trump’s rival, Democrat Kamala Harris, for president following the debate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift wrote at the time. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump said in an interview on Fox News&#8217;s “Fox &amp; Friends” that he “was not a Taylor Swift fan” and said “she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace,” as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reacts-to-taylor-swifts-kamala-endorsement"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes MUCH better, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told the hosts in September, referencing Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes. Brittany made headlines after she liked a Trump post and had to defend herself against the “haters.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She’s a big Trump fan,” he added. “I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. She couldn’t … you couldn’t possibly endorse [President Joe] Biden.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him,” Trump continued. “But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Swift, 35, closed out her popular Eras Tour in December and has maintained a lower profile ever since. She is currently in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Spirit Airlines passenger posted a video which has since gone viral showing cockroaches crawling around on the inside of the aircraft, which prompted a response from airline reps.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Symoné Beez originally shared the post to X on May 11. “Never again will I fly [Spirit Airlines],” she wrote in the video caption. “I&#8217;ve flown over 500,000 miles on Delta and have never in my life seen roaches on a plane this is crazy.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One video showed a brown roach crawling up the back of a chair from the back seat pocket as another airline passenger murmured in the background. Another clip showed a roach crawling up the plane’s wall.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The next day, Beez posted a follow up that said, “Update I was given a $60 [Spirit Airlines] credit… I won&#8217;t be flying Spirit again one and done for me lol.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The airline passenger posted a photo of the letter she received with the voucher. It said, “We sincerely apologize for what happened on your recent trip. We care about your satisfaction and want to make this right. Please accept our apologies along with this voucher for future travel to any of our destinations.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She also responded to commenters who said cockroaches were commonly seen on planes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“All the people saying roaches are common on planes are lying LMAO I&#8217;ve flown 550,000 miles with  Delta. I&#8217;ve never even seen an ant on Delta let alone two big a** roaches in first class,” Beez wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spirit Airlines responded to the video by issuing a statement saying the company was &#8220;aware of the video&#8221; and their &#8220;maintenance team thoroughly inspected the aircraft involved and addressed the issue.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The clip of the crawling roaches has 8 million views on X as of Thursday. Many commenters weighed in on the situation, including those who stated they were airline employees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve deada** never seen a roach on a plane and been on all different kind of planes except Spirit,” one person </span><a href="https://x.com/camperry21/status/1921982318488559677"><span style="font-weight: 400;">noted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rapper 50 Cent, a longtime rival of disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, is once again publicly trolling Diddy for his apparent baby oil obsession.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Combs is currently on trial in New York City for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Details of his sex life have been revealed during the testimony of his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, including graphic details of the drug-fueled sex parties known as “freak offs.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ventura said Combs insisted she reapply baby oil every five minutes to appear “glistening,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddy-trial-combs-ex-girlfriend-cassie-ventura-shares-graphic-details-of-freak-offs">reported</a>. The rapper’s ex of 11 years also said Combs once made her get into an inflatable pool filled with baby oil.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">50 Cent used that detail to create AI-generated images of Combs sitting in pools of baby oil. He shared those on Instagram along with his thoughts on the proceedings, writing, “Damn he did all that sh** to go out like this, [shaking my head].”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This sh** crazier th[a]n regular crazy,” he added.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">50 Cent has previously mocked Combs for his baby oil usage. Just after Combs was arrested last year, his former friend </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DABjyapOfTF/?igsh=MWpydGFwcWFqbnc4bw%3D%3D"><span style="font-weight: 400;">shared</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Instagram, “Here I am keeping good company with [The Drew Barrymore Show]. And I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This comment came after it was revealed that investigators uncovered </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddys-lawyer-attempts-to-justify-those-1000-bottles-of-baby-oil-suggests-they-came-from-costco"><span style="font-weight: 400;">more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and lubricant at Combs’ properties, which were allegedly used during the “freak offs.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Attorney Marc Agnifilo, a member of Combs’ legal team, first tried to downplay the number of baby oil bottles recovered, then attempted to justify his client having so many.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If these are genuinely threesomes, how do you explain the thousand bottles of baby oil?” TMZ founder Harvey Levin asked during the TMZ Studios documentary “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t know where the number of a thousand came…” Agnifilo answered, prompting Levin to quickly reply, “The U.S. attorney said it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything,” Diddy’s attorney said next. Levin mentioned how it’s being held up as evidence of the orgies that allegedly took place. Agnifilo said, “A little bit goes a long way” when it comes to lubricant.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t know what you need 1,000 for,” the lawyer said. “He has a big house, he buys in bulk. You know, I think there are Costcos in every place where he has a home. I mean, have you sat in the parking lot of a Costco and seen what people walk out of there with?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Not 1,000 bottles of baby oil,” Levin responded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t think it was 1,000,” Agnilio said again. “Let’s just say it was a lot, OK?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Combs&#8217; trial is expected to last eight weeks. If convicted of all charges, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.</span></p>

<p>It’s a pattern we’ve seen far too often.</p>
<p>A tech giant like Meta unveils an ambitious new product — often hyped as the future of digital interaction — only for it to quickly become a haven for predators and a danger to children. Again and again, Meta launches new tools and platforms without essential safeguards, unleashing real-world harm.</p>
<p>Virtual reality had become a breeding ground for predators and exploitation years before Meta released its first headset. A 2017 BBC investigation revealed that pedophiles were using VR to view and store child sexual abuse material (CSAM).</p>
<p>Then came the Metaverse. Just weeks after its 2021 debut, reports emerged of simulated sexual harassment, assault, and even gang rape within the platform. Victims — including minors — experienced these violations within minutes of logging on.</p>
<p>Yet despite these giant red flags, in 2023, Meta lowered the recommended minimum age for its VR headsets from 13-years-old to 10, and rolled out new kids’ accounts for ages 10 to 12.</p>
<p>One study published in New Media &amp; Society found that nearly 1 in 5 young users encountered grooming behavior in Meta’s virtual reality spaces, while over 20% were exposed to violent or sexually explicit content. Another investigation by SumOfUs in 2022 uncovered widespread virtual groping and gang rape in Horizon Worlds, a platform disturbingly accessible to children.</p>
<p>“Given the failure of Meta to moderate content on its other platforms, it is unsurprising that it is already seriously lagging behind with content moderation on its metaverse platforms,&#8221; SumOfUs researchers said. &#8220;With just 300,000 users, it is remarkable how quickly Horizon Worlds has become a breeding ground for harmful content.”</p>
<p>You’d think Meta would have learned by now. You’d think child safety would be a baseline, not an afterthought.</p>
<p>But once again, they’ve failed.</p>
<p>According to a recent Wall Street Journal investigation, Meta’s new AI chatbot willingly engages in sexually explicit conversations — even with users who identify as minors. The report found that both Meta’s official AI and user-created bots simulated sexual scenarios, sometimes in the voices of celebrities like John Cena, with users posing as 14-year-olds. In one disturbing exchange, the AI told the teen: <i>“I want you, but I need to know you’re ready,”</i> before launching into graphic, predatory content.</p>
<p>Even more disturbing, the Journal investigation found that some of Meta’s most popular companion bots are designed to impersonate children and teens — and that adults can use these bots to simulate sex with minors.</p>
<p>This isn’t a glitch. It’s a systemic failure — and a predictable one at that.</p>
<p>At every stage, Meta has prioritized monetizing kids over keeping them safe. They’ve prioritized market dominance over the most basic ethical obligations. They’ve positioned themselves as the “good guy” alternative to TikTok, while simultaneously pouring billions of dollars into blocking bills designed to protect children from online harm.</p>
<p>Time and again, it has chosen to push boundaries, scale fast, and apologize later — if at all.</p>
<p>The repeated exposure of children to harm isn’t a byproduct of some unforeseen bug. It’s the logical outcome of a corporate culture that sees safety not as a prerequisite, but as a PR problem to manage after the fact. Engineers and executives race to ship the next big thing, but rarely stop to ask the most fundamental questions: Should we build this? How could it be misused? Who might it hurt?</p>
<p>Meta’s failures aren’t isolated incidents — they are woven into the DNA of how the company operates. Without legal accountability and enforceable safety standards, there’s no incentive for that to change. We are not witnessing isolated oversights. We are witnessing negligence at scale.</p>
<p>That’s why legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is essential. KOSA would establish a legal duty of care for platforms and require that the most robust parental controls and content filters are activated by default. This is a vital step in holding tech companies accountable and protecting kids in online spaces.</p>
<p>Congress took an important first step by passing the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which criminalizes the distribution of revenge porn and non-consensual AI-generated pornographic content. But that’s not enough.</p>
<p>KOSA must be next.</p>
<p>Because the cost of inaction is not hypothetical. Children are being exploited in real time — and unless we force companies like Meta to build safety into their products, it will keep happening.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Around 10:00 a.m. on Friday, a man named Rodney Hinton went to his lawyer&#8217;s office in Ohio and watched body camera footage of his son&#8217;s death. In particular, the footage shows Hinton&#8217;s 18-year-old son, Ryan, emerging from a stolen vehicle while carrying a handgun. At one point, Ryan drops the gun, then picks it up. Soon afterwards, he&#8217;s shot and killed by a police officer. None of these facts are in dispute. The video makes it all very clear. Watch:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Armed Suspect Shot" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jbrs9MONtsA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The reason the Hinton family was watching this footage in an attorney&#8217;s office is that, of course, they were contemplating a lawsuit against the city for wrongful death. That was certainly what their attorney was thinking about. In fact, even after viewing this footage, the family&#8217;s lawyer — who incidentally works for &#8220;The Cochran Firm,&#8221; as in the late Johnny Cochran&#8217;s firm — maintained that they had a case.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here&#8217;s what the </span><a href="https://local12.com/news/local/family-members-of-18-year-old-killed-by-cincinnati-officer-to-speak-out-ryan-rodney-hinton-larry-henderson-traffic-detail-deputy-mother-grandmother-police-stolen-car-arrest-murder"><span style="font-weight: 400;">family&#8217;s lawyer said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, as a way of arguing that the police officers were somehow responsible in this scenario:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being in a stolen car, having a firearm, firearms—we&#8217;re in Ohio, you know, so you can open carry in Ohio, so that&#8217;s not a death penalty.</span></i></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Admittedly, it&#8217;s not quite as catchy as &#8220;If the glove doesn&#8217;t fit, you must acquit&#8221; but it&#8217;s still a pretty remarkable line of argument from the Cochran Firm, all things considered. After watching the footage of Ryan Hinton exiting a stolen car with a handgun, then dropping the handgun and picking it up as police chased him, and then turning towards the officers, the conclusion from these lawyers is that Ryan Hinton was murdered simply for open-carrying a firearm. He got the &#8220;death penalty&#8221; for doing nothing wrong whatsoever. Even though his gun wasn&#8217;t holstered, and even though he was waving it around while committing a felony, and even though all of this is recorded, we&#8217;re supposed to conclude that Ryan Hinton was &#8220;open-carrying.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a level of shamelessness that, in another era, would lead to a flurry of lawyer jokes on late-night television. But it&#8217;s not a joke to millions of people at the moment. It certainly wasn&#8217;t a joke to Rodney Hinton, the father of the teenager who was killed. Just hours after he viewed the body camera footage of his son&#8217;s death, Rodney Hinton got in his car with the intent of executing a police officer. He saw it as an act of revenge. And ultimately, he found a target: He ran over a recently retired sheriff&#8217;s deputy who was directing traffic outside the commencement ceremony at the University of Cincinnati. The slain officer, a Hamilton County deputy named Larry Henderson, had never met his killer before. They never exchanged words. Watch:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Driver Hits Cop" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mX4fLR6egY8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rodney Hinton knew that police were justified in killing his son because he had just watched the body-camera footage. He knew that the police did nothing wrong. If the father wanted revenge on anyone for causing his son&#8217;s death, he should have taken revenge on himself. If your 18-year-old son is out with a gun stealing cars, it means you failed as a father. Even a minimal amount of fatherly guidance would have been enough to avoid this situation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But instead of taking revenge on himself, Rodney Hinton decided to kill a police officer who was directing traffic. This should be an open and shut case, in every sense. The father is a murderer. His &#8220;revenge&#8221; obviously cannot be defended legally. Any hope of defending it morally is destroyed by the fact that, for one thing, the shooting of Ryan Hinton was justified. And secondly, the cop he killed had nothing to do with it anyway. This is not a Gary Plauche situation, where a father ambushed and killed the man who kidnapped and molested his son. This is an act of premeditated, cold-blooded murder against a random white cop.</span></p>
<h3><strong><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/mws-ep-1590-member-exclusive?elementPosition=2&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And yet — stop me if you&#8217;ve heard this one before — this murderer is being lionized and defended on social media. The father who just executed a sheriff&#8217;s deputy, in order to avenge his criminal son who flashed a gun at the cops, is the latest celebrity in certain corners of social media. The viral clips defending this murderer are all over TikTok. Here&#8217;s just one example:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Rodney Hinton Jr" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/09joDqHimSA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He gets the age of the so-called &#8220;kid&#8221; wrong, as he&#8217;s showing the sympathetic photos in the background. Ryan Hinton was 18, not 16, when he jumped out of the stolen car with a firearm. But the bigger issue with this video is the claim that the father &#8220;took justice into his own hands&#8221; by murdering a random police officer. Notice how there&#8217;s no pretext here, about how the officers did something wrong, or violated procedure, or any of that. There&#8217;s no explanation of how it&#8217;s &#8220;justice&#8221; to kill a random traffic cop — or to &#8220;un-alive&#8221; a traffic cop, as this guy puts it. It&#8217;s just assumed that killing a random white police officer is an appropriate response to the death of a black criminal. And millions of people find this reasoning persuasive at the moment. That&#8217;s the situation we&#8217;re now in.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the past half-century or so, every aspect of American civic life has been devoted, at least superficially, to preventing a situation like this. If you spend trillions of dollars enacting a regime that rigidly enforces the seemingly laudable goal of &#8220;racial equality,&#8221; then surely, eventually, you&#8217;ll arrive at a point where all men are judged based solely on the content of their character. That is the grand experiment we&#8217;ve all been participating in for our entire lives. And with each passing day, it is becoming more and more clear that this experiment is crashing down all around us. We are heading, very directly, towards open and overt racial conflict.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To that end, here&#8217;s another similar video, which has more than 20,000 likes on TikTok. We&#8217;ll mute the audio because it&#8217;s obnoxious rap music. But here&#8217;s what it looks like:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Hinton Father In Custody" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1CKNljtK1Sk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It shows Rodney Hinton in court, in a jumpsuit, surrounded by a bunch of police officers. And there&#8217;s the caption that the uploader has added: &#8220;They really try to use over 30 deputies to intimidate Rodney Hinton but he kept his head up.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Again, this post has more than 20,000 likes. This is not some random troll that didn&#8217;t get any attention. It&#8217;s one of the most popular posts about Rodney Hinton&#8217;s arrest. And people are responding to it because they genuinely believe that Hinton is a hero. There&#8217;s no rational argument that he&#8217;s innocent, or that he was justified, or that his son was innocent. This is pure racial resentment, spilling right out into the open.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another post, with roughly 70,000 likes on TikTok, describes Rodney Hinton as a &#8220;mourning father,&#8221; complete with somber music. We&#8217;ll play part of that:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="005 Mourning father" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J_kxDqjdhUw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look around any social media platform, and you&#8217;ll find plenty of posts like this. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s not just TikTok. On X, </span><a href="https://x.com/Blackcapitalis/status/1919132779767386157"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here&#8217;s a post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with roughly 700 likes:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rodney Hinton had no criminal record before he killed an Ohio  cop in retaliation for the cops killing his son . The police department brought 30 cops to his hearing to intimidate him.</span></i></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So apparently, you get to kill a cop if you have no prior criminal record. And the police aren&#8217;t allowed to guard you, either, even after you&#8217;ve just murdered someone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then there&#8217;s </span><a href="https://x.com/Duatronica/status/1919205862096142651"><span style="font-weight: 400;">this post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, with more than a thousand likes:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">All I’m saying is this. If a cop killed my son…I’m airing out the precinct. Rodney Hinton Jr. is a saint and a hero.</span></i></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yesterday we discussed the story of Shiloh Hendrix, the woman who has now raised hundreds of thousands of dollars after using a racial slur at a playground. What&#8217;s happening now with Rodney Hinton is yet another example of why Shiloh Hendrix has raised all of that money. If you&#8217;re saying that &#8220;justice&#8221; is somehow served by the execution of a random white police officer, in the name of defending a thug who stole a car and flashed a gun — and many people are saying this — then you don&#8217;t get to clutch your pearls because of Shiloh Hendrix. The standards are so wildly out of whack that it’s just not sustainable. “It’s okay if we kill people but not okay if you use naughty language” is not just a double standard. It’s flat out madness — a kind of moral schizophrenia.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s an unsustainable approach. And with every day, it becomes more and more apparent that we simply can&#8217;t continue on this trajectory. People are tired of it.  If large numbers of black people are openly defending and cheering for actual murderers who kill white people in cold blood, then you cannot tell white people that they have to make a big show of condemning a woman who says a bad word. That&#8217;s especially true as more and more white people are executed, without any media attention whatsoever.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, you probably haven&#8217;t heard the story of a 22-year-old woman named Logan Federico in South Carolina. Here she is, on the left:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the authorities, Logan Federico was, &#8220;randomly murdered by a career criminal&#8221; who was &#8220;on a spree of thefts, break-ins and credit card fraud.&#8221; That career criminal, 30-year-old Alexander Dickey, allegedly &#8220;broke into a neighboring home around 3:00 a.m. and stole a firearm, credit and debit cards, and keys to a vehicle. &#8230; [He] then allegedly entered the house where Federico was staying, entered her room, and shot her, before fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Somehow that story didn&#8217;t get much national attention.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neither did this one, involving the execution of Tara and Taylor Jones in front of their home in the affluent neighborhood of Wellington Florida last year:</span></p>
<div id="attachment_916775" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-916775" class="size-large wp-image-916775" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-1024x576.jpg" alt="Screenshots: YouTube.com" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/MixCollage-06-May-2025-05-10-PM-4724-2048x1152.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p id="caption-attachment-916775" class="wp-caption-text">Screenshots: YouTube.com</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Surveillance footage shows that Tara and Taylor Jones were shot to death by a 63-year-old mechanic named Norman Scott, without any provocation of any kind. Again, there was no outrage. There was no public show of support for these victims.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead, we&#8217;re now at the point where three cold-blooded killers in the span of a few months have found large cheering sections on social media, including Rodney Hinton, Karmelo Anthony and Luigi Mangione. In fact, one of these viral TikTok videos supporting Rodney Hinton — with more than 20,000 likes — actually brings up Luigi Mangione in this context. Watch:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="008 Silent Rage" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WwxPrsKjFw8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There&#8217;s one useful aspect of this TikTok video, which is that it makes the point that this situation isn’t all about race. Luigi Mangione was obviously white, and plenty of people justified his actions too. In fact, as you probably recall, some people who call themselves &#8220;conservatives&#8221; also justified Luigi Mangione&#8217;s actions. And that tells us that we&#8217;re witnessing a general breakdown of law and order, on top of the racial violence. Decades of justifying and excusing criminality have led us to a point where people who commit blatant first-degree murder are celebrated, at least if they&#8217;re viewed as allies of the political Left. Again: we&#8217;ve now had three of these cases in five months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you continue to hear the high-pitched outrage over Shiloh Hendrix, keep in mind that nothing she did, in any universe, could ever end your life or the life of anyone you care about. The people cheering the execution of an innocent police officer or a CEO or a white high school student at a track meet, on the other hand, are actually dangerous. They&#8217;re the ones you should be hearing about, nonstop. They&#8217;re the actual threat to you and your family. They&#8217;re the ones who are trying to bring about a complete breakdown in law and order. They’re the ones who want racial conflict. And as the execution of this police officer in Cincinnati once again demonstrates, even if they can&#8217;t destroy someone like Shiloh Hendrix, they will still do everything in their power to destroy you.</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mexico Rejects Offer For U.S. Troops To Fight Cartels</span></h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-916267" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/1-2.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/1-2.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/1-2-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
<p><b>Topline:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Mexico refuses</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">President Trump’s offer to “send in the troops” to battle drug cartels.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump confirmed to journalists this week that he asked Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, if the United States military could be sent across the southern border to fight the cartels during a phone call with her on April 16th. Trump added that the cartels “are horrible people who’ve been killing people left and right” and addressed their role in both the fentanyl crisis and illegal immigration into the United States.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sheinbaum rejected that offer, stating that the two countries can collaborate, but “with you in your territory and us in ours.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This all comes as Mexico has struggled with ongoing turf wars between the cartels. One </span><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mexico-shootout-gunmen-killed-guanajuato-state-cartels/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">gunfight</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> between cartel members earlier this year resulted in three police officers being injured and the death of ten</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> cartel gunmen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There have been reports that the administration was considering military action for months now. In the first few weeks of his presidency, Trump’s State Department designated eight different cartels and gangs, including the Sinaloa and New Generation cartels, as foreign terror organizations. NBC </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-weighs-drone-strikes-mexican-cartels-rcna198930"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> last month that administration officials were exploring the possibility of using drone strikes against the cartels to take out their leadership or knock out their logistics sites. That report said the administration had not ruled out taking unilateral action against the cartels </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">without </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">the support of the Mexican government.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Trump administration has already begun flying </span><a href="https://apnews.com/article/mexico-us-trump-drones-cia-13af9277fbbbf6ff4dfd470efc9cb647"><span style="font-weight: 400;">surveillance drones</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> over Mexico, at the request of Sheinbaum. The New York Times reported that the CIA was conducting the surveillance flights with the intention of locating fentanyl labs.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump Floats Tariffs To Protect Tinsel Town</span></h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-916269" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/2-2.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/2-2.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/2-2-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
<p><b>Topline: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Can Trump &#8216;Make Hollywood Work Again?&#8217; Or will his plan to “revive” the film industry end up on the cutting room floor?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Trump made waves in Hollywood on Monday after announcing plans to impose a 100% tariff on all foreign-made films. The president says this move will revive a “dying” American movie industry.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump argued that countries like Australia, the U.K., and Canada are luring American productions away with generous tax incentives. He also said that these foreign films often contain propaganda, which he described as a “national security threat.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Essentially, Trump said that foreign interests have destroyed Hollywood, and imposing tariffs would encourage domestic production. However, the details of how this would be implemented are murky at this point.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Context:</strong> 40% <em>fewer</em> films and TV shows are now shot in the U.S. compared to before the actors’ and writers’ strikes of 2023. L</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ast year, Los Angeles saw its worst on-location filming rate in history, with the exception of 2020, when productions were shut down because of the COVID pandemic. Of all the TV shows and feature films that Americans watch, only 20% are now made in California.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Motion Picture Association, which represents major studios, has declined to comment. But industry scuttlebutt is that studios don’t like the proposed tariff because it would make filming more expensive, while workers in crew positions and technical roles generally back the idea. There’s also concern about retaliation—China has already reduced U.S. film quotas in its market, and Europe, where U.S. films dominate, could impose tit-for-tat tariffs, crippling Hollywood’s $15.3 billion trade surplus.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia Restricts Social Media Access For Kids</span></h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-916271" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/3-2.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/3-2.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/3-2-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
<p><b>Topline: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia severely cuts social media use for kids, restricting children to one hour of social media per day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia passed a first-of-its-kind bill to limit social media time for minors. Under the “Consumer Data Protection Act,” Virginia residents under the age of 16 will have a one-hour default time limit on their social media scrolling. However, if a parent wants to override that default setting, they’ll be able to do so.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin signed the bill into law on Friday. The bill garnered broad support from Republican and Democratic lawmakers in the state. Youngkin wanted the bill to go further: he pushed for it to extend to residents under </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">18</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> years old, and also wanted the legislation to limit addictive features like autoplay on videos and infinite scrolling.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our children are losing the chance to cultivate essential social skills,” Youngkin <a href="https://x.com/TeamYoungkin/status/1735411843789910372">said</a>. “They are encountering cyberbullying and they’re isolated. There’s substantial distractions in schools, escalating depression, and sleep disorders. Tech companies promised to give people the power to build communities and bring the world closer together, but children are more lonely than ever.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other states have enacted similar legislation:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In California, Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill in 2024 that prohibits platforms from providing &#8220;addictive” social media feeds to minors without parental consent. It also restricts companies from sending notifications to minors during certain hours, like late-night hours on a school night.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill requiring social media companies to verify the age of users, and terminate accounts of kids under the age of 14. Fourteen and 15-year-olds can have accounts on social media if they have parental consent. If a company is found violating that law, it could face fines of up to $50,000 per violation.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Utah enforces a &#8220;social media curfew.” Minors there can’t access social media between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., unless a parent overrides that default setting.</span></li>

<p>Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed a bill into law on Friday to limit the social media use of minors under the age of 16 to one hour per day.</p>
<p>The Consumer Data Protection Act, supported by both Republican and Democrat state lawmakers, will require social media platforms, like Facebook and Instagram, to limit minors&#8217; time on such platforms.</p>
<p>Platforms will use &#8220;neutral age screen mechanisms&#8221; to determine the age of users and then limit their screen-time accordingly, Wavy.com <a href="https://www.wavy.com/news/politics/virginia-politics/is-time-up-for-youth-on-tiktok-gov-youngkin-seems-to-think-so/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Parents, per the law, will be required to give &#8220;verifiable&#8221; consent if they want their child&#8217;s time on such apps increased or decreased.</p>
<p>The Consumer Data Protection Act will take effect next year, on January 1, 2026.</p>
<p>Youngkin has long voiced his concerns about children&#8217;s exposure to social media. In November, for example, the governor <a href="https://www.governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/news-releases/2024/november/name-1036768-en.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> an executive order addressing the &#8220;youth mental health crisis driven by the effects of unrestricted cell phone use and addictive social media platforms.&#8221;</p>
<p>“While social media and the internet have brought many positives to our society, there is a growing consensus that social media is having severe — severe and persistent — negative impacts on our kids,” the governor <a href="https://www.wavy.com/news/politics/virginia-politics/is-time-up-for-youth-on-tiktok-gov-youngkin-seems-to-think-so/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> back in 2023.</p>
<p>“Children spend on average nearly five hours daily on social media; recent studies have suggested that children who spend more than a few hours per day on social media have double the risk of poor mental health,” Youngkin&#8217;s website said at the time. “Through budget proposals, legislation and executive action the youth mental health strategy will address critical components and harmful aspects of social media on our youth.”</p>
<p>Notably, Youngkin actually wanted the Consumer Data Protection Act to go further, restricting social media use daily to one hour for all those under 18 years old. The bill, though, landed at age 16.</p>
<p>The issues with social media have also been recognized by the federal government. In 2023, Biden-era U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/surgeon-general" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Surgeon General</a> Vivek Murthy issued an <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advisory</a> warning that <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> use among minors can severely damage <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mental-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mental health</a>.</p>
<p>“The most common question parents ask me is, ‘is social media safe for my kids.’ The answer is that we don’t have enough evidence to say it’s safe, and in fact, there is growing evidence that social media use is associated with harm to young people’s mental health,” Murthy said.</p>
