Greetings! The country seems united in mourning the passing of Nashville legend Dolly Parton...Strangest movie premiere of the year.  The Gateway Pundit is producing and releasing what is apparently its first film.  The feature-length documentary “American Martyrs” will have its premiere September 26 at an undisclosed theater somewhere in West Palm Beach, Florida, probably not too far from Mar-a-Lago, the dark heart of the MAGA empire.  The movie examines the cases of five men involved in the J6 insurrection. Not surprisingly, they are portrayed favorably. There’s not a lot of specific information posted on the Pundit’s website although the four-minute trailer specifies that it features interviews with the likes of Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Lara Logan, names I hoped I would never hear again.  Tickets for the one-night-only event start at $75. If you fork over $199, you get the VIP premiere experience which includes the companion book. My biggest question: Will Trump attend the movie?... Sinking sales of Trump schlock: At least three Trump merchandise superstores have closed their doors.  Fast Company reports that outlets in Nashville, TN; Vernon, CT, and Bensalem, PA, have all folded or are going out of business.  “The story of the closures is the same,” writes journalist Hunter Schwartz. “The demand just isn’t there anymore.” Schwartz also points to the greatly reduced prices at the Trump-controlled online store as another sign of the president’s declining popularity. Worth nothing: Trump’s family business offers in excess of 1,500 Trump-branded products. Seems like POTUS has a huge inventory problem...Ain’t it the truth: Today’s on-the-nose headline courtesy of The American Conservative: “Friendships with America Can Be Fatal”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
