TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Todd Blanche for Justice: Former Trump U.S. Attorney General (AG) Bill Barr has written an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal arguing that Todd Blanche deserves to be confirmed as Trump’s new AG.  “The left has portrayed Mr. Blanche as a man who will docilely carry out the president’s desires,” Barr writes about the Acting Attorney General who once served as Trump’s personal lawyer. “But Mr. Blanche doesn’t shy away from giving the president straight-from-the-shoulder advice and, where warranted, pushing back on bad ideas.” I think Mr. Barr has a generous interpretation of Blanche’s service to Trump...Another milestone birthday to celebrate: Hillbilly Elegy, the best-selling memoir that launched JD Vance to national prominence, was published 10 years ago on June 28 (The American Conservative). I read it back in the day and thought it was great story.

Indie Wire has the first review and gave it a B-....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
