TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Greecing a palm: U.S. ambassador to Greece and plastic surgery survivor Kimberly Guilfoyle has landed in hot water thanks to a devastating Wall Street Journal investigation two days ago. The page one article charged that Guilfoyle, Don Jr.’s ex-fiancée, and a staunch POTUS ally, pushed a wealthy donor to wire her $100,000 to pay off a large Amex bill.  This is a headache Trump doesn’t need now with the midterms less than a month away....Ready, Aim, Fire! Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth must be dramatically increasing his daily testosterone intake because he’s clearly going into masculine overdrive.  Yesterday, the macho-posturing Sec. of Defense  announced that former Army officer Nidal Hasan, would be put to death by firing squad (!!) and the execution would be live streamed (!!) for everyone to see on a platform to be named. (Major detail, BTW) Hasan was convicted for the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, in which he killed 13 people and wounded 32 others.  Hegseth must think he’s living in 18th century London when executions of criminals were regularly held in town squares as a show of state power, according to the London Museum. Wonder if the Trump-controlled Truth Social would want to be Hegseth’s streaming partner....Weekend Watch: HBO Max’s War is a twisty, eight-part divorce drama set among the London elite.  I’m not usually a fan of domestic dramas, but after two episodes I’m hooked. Also See-Worthy: If you remember acerbic comedian Dennis Miller’s early aught’s stint as a commentator for ABC’s “Monday Night Football,” the 30-minute documentary Miller Night Football will put a smile on your face....In recognition of Columbus Day, TheRighting will not publish Monday. We’ll be back in your inbox Tuesday....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The media lied to you again.

MAGA Won’t Die When Trump Leaves Office

source: PJ Media

The Left has a comforting little mantra that they're spreading like fertilizer. "When Trump leaves, MAGA goes with him."

source: Washington Stand

What Christa Pike endured is unfortunate. She’s a human being too. But then, so was her victim, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, who she beat to death so violently that a Tennessee Grounds Department employee thought she was the carcass of a ravaged animal.  So you can understand why some Tennessee residents are shocked by the outpouring of sympathy for the woman responsible.

The Left Has Made It Harder to Kill Christa Pike. She Should Die Anyway

She must be put to death for the murder of Colleen Slemmer. When Tennessee tries again to do so, it should spare us all the indignity of another lethal injection attempt.Dust off Old Sparky — or Old Smokey, as the electric chair is known.

source: Hollywood in Toto

The comic propagandist routinely misinforms viewers, and this week he marked Fox News’ 30-year anniversary by savaging the channel.
