Finally, Editor in Chief, Gabe, is Coming Back for 2026!!!

Our Editor in Chief Is Free

Today marks the release of the Hoosier Enquirer’s Editor in Chief from a bogus charge, conviction, lawfare style, and worse actual jail after a legal saga over a Tweet. Yes, a tweet that raised difficult questions about due process, proportionality, and the modern justice system. Rather than silence dissent, the experience has reinforced our staff and our editorial mission: skepticism of unchecked authority and a firm belief that free speech is not optional—it is foundational. Gabe is leaner and meaner, having lost 50 pounds during his unneeded lock up. (What a effing waste of our government's resources!!!!)

We need your donations to relaunch this HE business.

History reminds us that strong societies tolerate criticism. Weak ones fear it.

2026: A Quarter Millennium of Freedom—And a Nation at a Crossroads -- And now with state fraud rampant.

The year 2026 was always destined to carry historic weight. Two hundred and fifty years after the Declaration of Independence, Americans will gather on July 4 to celebrate a quarter millennium of freedom—an extraordinary achievement unmatched in world history. Yet as the fireworks rise, the country finds itself confronting deep questions about liberty, trust, leadership, and identity.

IU Football Advances—With Style and Class

While politics and institutions stumble, Indiana University football has offered a welcome reminder of what excellence looks like. Advancing to the semifinals with discipline, humility, and teamwork, IU showed that winning still means something when it is earned the right way.

In a time when spectacle often replaces substance, that mattered.

America Hosts the World

In 2026, the United States will also take center stage globally as a host of the FIFA World Cup, welcoming the world not just to stadiums, but to American cities, culture, and values. Meanwhile, the Winter Olympic Games in Italy will remind us that international competition can still unite nations through sport rather than politics.

These moments should be celebrations of shared humanity—if we allow them to be.

New York City and a Profound Symbolic Moment

Nowhere is the national tension more evident than in New York City. Under a mayor whose political philosophy openly leans socialist, the city continues to serve as America’s grand experiment—testing ideas about governance, redistribution, and the role of the state.

Most strikingly, the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, will be presided over by a Muslim mayor of New York City, a moment heavy with symbolism, sensitivity, and consequence. Compounding the controversy, the administration has already moved to cancel executive orders enacted under former Mayor Eric Adams that explicitly proscribed antisemitism within city governance.

For many Americans—particularly Jewish New Yorkers—this has raised serious concerns about historical memory, moral clarity, and whether lessons once learned are now being unlearned.

These concerns are not about faith. They are about leadership, priorities, and whether symbolism is being handled with the gravity history demands.

Gen-Z Trusts No One—And That Should Alarm Us All

Recent studies show that Gen-Z trusts almost no one—not the media, not the courts, not judges, not politicians or parties, and not any institutions broadly. This is not cynicism born in a vacuum. It is the cumulative result of perceived hypocrisy, selective enforcement of laws, politicized justice, and narratives that feel curated rather than candid. Too many have seen the truth and the pulling up the ladder is not going to protect the powers that be that have done wrong by so many, so often, only to pad their own pockets and hold on the power that they have abused.

When institutions abandon neutrality, they forfeited their own credibility. The state superior court and robes are no good. The people know it and HE will keep the bright light on them.

A Nation Reflecting at its 250 Year Birthday

As America marks 250 years of freedom, the question is no longer whether the country will change—but whether it will remember what made it free in the first place. Liberty requires courage. Trust requires honesty. And unity requires truth, even when it is uncomfortable.

At the Hoosier Enquirer, we will continue to ask the questions others avoid. Because in a year meant to celebrate freedom, independence of thought may be the most important freedom of all. But we need your help to do so.
