TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Scratch Gretchen Whitmer as a Dem candidate for president in 2028.  The Michigan governor said she wasn’t considering running in 2028.  Presumably that leaves the door open for 2032. I liked that she was a moderate from Michigan, a key battleground state, but she never excited me...It’s early, but: Speaking of the 2028 election, AOC has risen to third place in the Emerson College poll of Democratic presidential candidates.  She trails only Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom....Thumbs down. The first review is in for the new Trump phone and it’s not good.  The tech-review site CNET points out several problems with the phone.  That includes a subpar camera, the matte gold design that shows fingerprints, and a security breach on the Trump Mobile site.  And CNET also zeroes in on Trump’s year-ago claim that the device would be made in America. "(N)owhere on the box, website or phone itself does it say which country it was manufactured in," notes the review. "The box says it was ‘assembled in the USA,’ but we don't know to what extent -- whether the parts were all put together in the US, or if the phone was just put in its packaging”...Trump suggests in a Truth Social post this morning that the real reason for Joe Biden’s disastrous debate with him in June 2024 was his strong performance that caused Biden to “choke.” No dice, Don. Biden looked lost the moment he stepped on the stage.....Weekend Watch: The Boroughs.  This eight-part Netflix series set in a New Mexico independent living community starts strong but stumbles toward the less-than-rousing conclusion.  The stellar cast led by Alfred Molina and Geena Davis elevates this series about a small band of golden-age rebels fighting the community’s corrupt administration and some otherworldly creatures. Bad title BTW...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

There's a “Trans Period Pride” event at the Boston Public Library, and somehow that is a real sentence.

Pride Month has officially jumped the shark, then asked taxpayers to fund the landing.

James Talarico Is Playing to a National Audience That Won’t Be Voting for Him

source: PJ Media

Talarico is believing his own press too much and sucking up to the national audience. Because the Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media are so heavily invested in dragging this lightweight across the finish line, he will continue to think it's a good idea to spout idiotic things that appeal more to coastal elitist Dems than Texans.

Advice for Ken Paxton

RINOs in Panic Mode as Voters Choose Trump-Backed Candidates

source: SteveGruber.com

For years, Republican insiders have tried giving GOP voters polished “electable” candidates who end up ruling and voting like Democrats. The result? Base voters stay home, enthusiasm disappears, and Republicans lose races they should win. We don’t want watered-down Chamber of Commerce Republicans who apologize every five minutes on CNN about what the president is up to.

Joe Biden Won’t Go Away

source: Washington Examiner

You’d think that after such a humiliating end to his hapless presidency, Biden would willingly fade into the gloaming in Delaware, avoiding attention as much as possible. But no, Obama’s one-time veep keeps drawing attention to himself, not so much by bouncing back into the public eye as by rolling across our vision like a thick incoming fog.

Jill Biden Has a Story to Tell and a Book to Sell

source: Victory Girls

Not only has Hunter racked up legal fees, he’s in debt up to his eyeballs. None of the rest of the Bidens are in a position to make any more money off “selling access to Joe."  Jill’s book is just the first attempt to make some money, and this new claim of fright over a stroke is designed to draw eyeballs to the interview, and then to the book itself.

It’s Frightening to Think of How Close This Guy Was to VP

Tim Walz should have stayed in the shadows. You heard very little about Tim during his 6 terms in the House of Representatives, primarily because of his lack of effectiveness.

“George Floyd Square” to Remember Him with Gift Shop

source: FrontPage

Initial plans for ‘George Floyd Square’ were to make it an Antifa-BLM secessionist no-go zone and then there has been an effort to turn it into a pedestrian mall. And the BLMers and assorted racial grifters obviously weren’t going to be kept out of the deal

The Overweening Pomposity of the Old Guard at CBS News

source: NewsBusters

Reporters like Sharon Alfonsi insist that they’re the hard-hitters, and never the soft-ballers. They’re the courageous independents who hold people accountable, and never the shoe-polishing partisans who allow their political allies to uncork ridiculous spins without challenge. They are lying to themselves, and to us.

Oregon Is Dangerously Close to Banning Hunting and Fishing

A hunting and fishing ban may be on the ballot in Oregon this November. Initiative Petition 28 aims to expand Oregon’s animal cruelty laws to practically ban hunting, fishing, slaughtering livestock, and other practices,

When “White Racism” Trumps Black Murder

source: European Conservative

The more crime non-whites commit, the more ‘systemically racist’ the system is deemed to be. That is a foolish game to play.
