Olivia Dunne had a wild ‘White Party’ while Paul Skenes got shelled, rooftop fight & Jutta Leerdam fires heat
Media criticizes America 250 celebrations, Fox News poll shows division on patriotism
Ainsley Earhardt, Griff Jenkins and Charlie Hurt discuss a new Fox News poll that reveals a sharp partisan divide between national pride and patriotism. They consider the media response to the ‘America 250’ celebrations and argue that it was politicized. The speech also includes remarks from Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, who criticized the current Democratic Party leadership and called for significant change within the party.
Hello? Is anyone there? really? any are you in class today?
Congratulations to those who didn’t skip! This is dedication. I’ll be honest, if I wasn’t working today I’d be so far away from the internet that I’d probably forget it even existed.
There’s nothing like the Fourth of July Eve, right? An underrated mini vacation. Christmas Eve is the GOAT. The night before Thanksgiving is a good night. But the day before the Fourth, especially in the magical year that falls on a Friday? Elite stuff. That’s why we suffer in June and bow our heads during Pride month.
For days and weekends like we are about to get. Happy 250th anniversary, America. Let’s roll.
Welcome to Friday Nightcaps, where Olivia Dunne parties and Paul Skenes shines like a firecracker.

What else? I got the best of the rest from a big #content week, the WNBA ladies sent Caitlin Clark a DISGUSTING message this week, how about we end the day with a little patriotism courtesy of Dale Earnhardt Jr.?
DALE EARNHARDT JR. NASCAR RETURNED TO LIFE 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEKEND, BUT THE PAIN CAME BACK
Do you have any objections? Of course not! This is America, after all.
buy you one rum punch because the internet tells me it was the most popular drink in 1776 and take your seat for the Friday ‘Cap’!
Olivia Dunne had a great night at the white party, which always sounds hilarious
From wake-ups on Google:
By 1776 colonists were drinking surprising amounts of alcohol; The most popular drink was rum. Since water was often unsafe and tea was politically boycotted, everyday favorites included rum punch, hard cider, and beer. Coffee and hot chocolate were also very popular.
He was the undisputed king of Greek colonial spirits. Because it was distilled from Caribbean molasses, it was deeply linked to the “taxation without representation” protests that sparked the war. People drank rum punch at almost every gathering, often sharing from a single communal bowl.
Here it is! I can’t wait to grab a scoop and have a nice bowl of rum punch this weekend. By the way, this thing is dangerous. You can turn into a five pretty quickly if you’re not careful. Trust me.
Okay, that’s enough stories for today. Holiday on Friday. We don’t need history lessons. We need a white party!

No, it’s not what you think. Fanatics founder Michael Rubin hosts an annual “White Party” every year, which is essentially just a party for the richest people in America and they are all required to wear white.
From where? I have no idea. Sounds a bit like a cult to me. As always, the stars were at Rubin’s home in Southampton; Including Olivia Dunne, who was there alone because Paul Skenes was busy getting bombed in Philadelphia.
Wild.
What a fight!
Enjoy your meal. What happened to Paul Skenes this year? He was shaken up in his first start of the season against the Mets, but he settled in well after that and everything looked rosy. But the last two weeks have been terrible with 11 runs earned in the last nine innings.
Meanwhile, Olivia Dunne is partying with Jake Paul’s fiancée, Olympian Jutta Leerdam, in Southhampton.

I don’t like the atmosphere around Paul right now. Some say his velocity has dropped, which always bothers me about these young pitchers throwing 100 mph with every pitch. I don’t want to say it, but… we’re all thinking about it.
We hope this is just a snapshot. America is better when Paul Skenes embarrasses hitters with Livvy in the stands beating up Miller Lites.
Okay, let’s get to the best content of the big week. First? Let’s go up to the roof and smash some SKULLS:
Caitlin Hate Tour and Dale at Daytona
What a week! Oh my god, what a fight. Never fully seen HE before. What about the guy who was thrown off the roof like a rag doll? It’s just insulting. After that I would run for the hills and pray I would never see any of them again.
Okay, let’s quickly transition this Friday lesson into a big weekend and go from there. We’ve all checked it out at this point, right? Everything is based on performance.
First? let’s check Caitlin Clark Hate Tour As we continue to progress through another week:
Unbelievable. These insufferable girls voted Caitlin Clark the 11th best guard in the WNBA.
Eleventh!!!
Fans voted Clark the second-best guard in the league behind Paige Bueckers. That’s fair. The media ranked Clark as the third-best guard in the league. Again, pretty fair.
Her fellow WNBA players surprisingly ranked her 11th, which is somewhat worse than when they ranked her ninth last year.
They really hate him, don’t they? I REALLY hate him. This is remarkable, especially considering it makes these disdainful women richer than they ever thought possible. A rising tide lifts all boats, right?
Apparently wrong.
There is no world where Caitlin Clark is the 11th best guard in the WNBA. This is not possible. Have you all watched a WNBA game recently? God help you if you have to watch Angel Reese play for five minutes.
And you tell me: Caitlin Clark not Is he one of the best players in the league? Come on!
Disgusting.
Note: For those interested, Clark spoke today for the first time since he was attacked:
Surprisingly, Caitlin was the best spoken of all! I didn’t see it coming.
And no, it was NOT OutKick or FOX who wrote that stupid headline. It was the New York Times awakenings.
Again shocking.
Okay, that’s it for today and this week. Happy 4th of July everyone. Happy 250th anniversary, America.
Take us home, Dale Jr.
Twenty-five years ago this weekend! Hazelnut.
