TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Kissing butt: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remains a Trump loyalist. He penned a sycophantic opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal maintaining that the country’s best cyber defense is American artificial intelligence. But, in an obvious bit of butt-kissing he calls it “SI,” short for Super Intelligence. That’s Trump’s preferred name for artificial intelligence, but the phrase hasn’t caught on except with a few bureaucrats like Bessent trying to curry favor with their mercurial boss...Speaking of AI, I encourage everyone to listen to yesterday’s NY Times podcast The Daily in which reporter Trip Mickle explains the explosive story of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Before I listened to the podcast, I struggled to fully understand the far-reaching consequences of Huang’s actions. Now I get it. Nvidia, as you might know, is the global leader in superior chips used to power AI. Mickle patiently explains its impact on the U.S. economy, national security and ties to China as well as the Huang’s deepening relationship to Trump. Mickle called the scandal “arguably the most explosive geopolitical controversy in corporate history.” Here’s the transcript of the 30-minute program...The big short: The Washington Free Beacon has a beef with Michigan senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed because....he’s....short. Apparently, the Beacon is bugged because they think he’s much shorter than the 5’9” inches he’s claimed. Cue the shrieking from the right! Furthermore, notes writer Andrew Stiles, the country has never elected a president shorter than El-Sayed’s listed height since Rutherford B. Hayes, way back in 1876...The Daily Wire’s latest feature-length film Confession bowed yesterday on its streaming platform. The movie, written by right-wing podcast superstar Ben Shapiro, stars Rob Lowe as an ex-professor in Stalin-era Russia brought up on counterrevolutionary charges. Predictably, conservative writer Christian Toto praised it for being a “powerful, anti-communist warning” while The Hollywood Reporter called it “terminally tedious”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting...Howard

By Karl Rove: Stephen Miller, was full of praise for Trump last Friday. He credited his boss with having “saved the Republican Party from the ash heap of history” and “made it stronger, more popular, and more resilient than ever before.” Come again?

Their failed impeachment attempt gives the Defense secretary a new lifeline.

Pete Hegseth’s Success Draws Dems’ Impeachment Fire

Impeachment has become political Kabuki theater — and the Democrats’ plan to put Pete Hegseth through its wringer is a cynical ploy to satiate some partisan bloodlust.

We Need to Retain the Electoral College

The Political Argument Against Pete Hegseth

source: The American Conservative

Let us remember that Hegseth has not been an optimally competent and PR-neutral official, even before he started howling for blood on live television. His Defense Dept. has been a staffing clown-show, largely self-inflicted; his high-profile reprisals against staffers in the end turned on entirely baseless accusations of leaking.

What If JD Vance Doesn’t Run?

source: Townhall

Does Donald Trump Jr., a friend and confidant of Vance and the son of the president, entertain a campaign? Does Pete Hegseth enter the fray? A Vance exit likely creates a MAGA vacuum, as everyone jockeys for a post-Trump electorate, and what that looks like right now is anyone’s guess.

The Time Is Not Now for JD Vance

JD Vance has no business running for president.

The GOP’s Worst Defeat May Be Its Best Chance to Move on

Republicans were bound to face life after Trump. The midterms rout has forced the reckoning early, opening the 2028 field and leaving the party little room to postpone it

American Immigration and Our National Spirit

source: Daily Signal

Since 9/11 plunged America into a decades-long war on terror, the country’s Muslim population has more than doubled. However, the policies that have facilitated these trends are a stark departure from the old American tradition on immigration. That tradition was rooted in the conviction that “America must be kept American.”

China’s Jensen Huang “Honeypot” Trap Is Only More Reason to Win the AI Race

source: NY Post

Beijing’s apparent “honeypot” operation against Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is fresh proof China’s rules will stop at nothing to win the AI race — yet America’s anti-progress left will surely try to use the scandal to cripple the US industry.

Ben Shapiro’s Movie “Confession Delivers a Powerful Anti-Communist Message

source: Hollywood in Toto

Starry cast gives Daily Wire original both gravitas and historical heft. And it’s impossible to watch “Confession” and not draw parallels to a certain three-letter group on the rise stateside. Or, more importantly, why Hollywood won’t tell similar stories for today’s audience.
