TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The right-wing media flavor of the month has to be Byron Donalds, who last night won the crowded GOP primary for governor of Florida to succeed Ron DeSantis.  As a young Black conservative – and Trump favorite - in a state with the third largest number electoral college votes, he’s likely to be mentioned as a candidate for president in 2032 (is it too early to discuss?). That is, assuming he wins in November, which seems like a safe bet...Of course we know this. Rich Lowry, the National Review’s influential editor, wrote an article with this simple but truthful headline: “Kim Jong-un is not our friend.” Let’s hope Natalie “The Human Printer” Harp sticks a copy of the story under President Trump’s nose today...Nazi? Fierce Trump critic Rosie O’Donnell, who is guest-hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, implied that CBS News honcho Bari Weiss might be a Nazi in an interview with Variety. That didn’t sit well with Christian Toto of the right-wing blog Hollywood in Toto. “O’Donnell will face no repercussions for saying such cruel, fact-free things,” Toto writes. “Heck, she may have to come back to America again with the amount of work that will fall on her agent’s desk.” Worth noting: O’Donnell, who famously left America for Ireland after Trump got re-elected, refers to POTUS as the Mango Mussolini, after the fascist Italian dictator...Bummer article of the day: The American Conservative points to the many reasons for America’s “declining empire” and its “ugly truths”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
