TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Today is freedom day: Freedom from the unwanted wave of political text messages that have pinged our portable devices incessantly in the last month. Do better marketing consultants and politicians running for office. Stop annoying us and start governing. Worth noting: During the 2024 election cycle, Americans received 25 billion text messages, according to the political texting company RumbleUp. I’m sure the number is even larger this year...Like most Americans, I’m following several key races very closely in states such as Texas, Maine and Alaska. But Michigan seems especially critical.  As  Bret Stephens of the NY Times pointed out in today’s column, the Michigan U.S. Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers is “a choice either against antisemitism or for democracy.” That frames it perfectly and if I voted in Michigan I honestly don’t know who I would vote for...Trump’s Truth Social account has gone into overdrive.  This morning, in a frenetic two-hour barrage, Trump made more than 200 endorsements of GOP politicians. And that’s just this morning. Last night, I counted at least four dozen endorsements.  Oval Office barnacle and Trump scribe Natalie Harp probably logged some serious overtime last night typing all those messages....Check out this website: Celebrity Net Worth.  There’s an entire section devoted to politicians who are Democrats. For instance, James Talarico, who’s running for the Senate in Texas, has a net worth of $150,000, while Sen. Chuck Schumer has banked $900,000. Comedian/political commentator Bill Maher is worth $114 million....Speaking of Maher, is anyone out there writing the unauthorized biography of the occasional Trump dinner partner and high profile host of HBO’s “Real Time”? I think it’s about time... If you keep voting, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
