TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Word of the day: Inflation. In a head-scratching moment during an Oval Office meeting with reporters yesterday, Trump blurted out, “I love inflation.” Axios described his comment as Trump gifting “Dems ready-made midterm ads”...Book Buzz: The NY Times published a long article based on the upcoming nonfiction blockbuster book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. The riveting story, written by reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, focuses heavily on the Trump administration’s struggles to get control of the rapidly escalating Epstein scandal threatening the president in the summer of 2025.  The book hits retailers on June 23 and I’m sure Trump and his advisors are bracing for the fallout...Nosedive! All of the top 20 right-wing websites that TheRighting monitors declined in year-over-year traffic according to our exclusive analysis.  That hasn’t happened in recent memory.  And mainstream media sites like CNN and the NY Times also decreased.  I blame the unprecedented decline on the exponential growth of news and opinion options available on an ever-expanding galaxy of platforms... Subscriber Vince Massimini pushed back on my description of yesterday’s Wall Street Journal op-ed about Trump’s health in which I said that the Journal’s editorial board was guilty of “praising trump for his vigor on the eve of his 80th birthday.” Massimini wrote, “Did you read the article? It did complement Trump but had concerns of age”... Saddest people in NYC: I’m sure there were some Knick ticketholders who left last night’s Game 4 at halftime in the NBA finals with the hometown team down by 27 points. They missed a comeback for the ages.  Knick fever has united the Big Apple and it’s wonderful to see. And if the Knicks capture the title – their first since 1973 – does Trump invite them to the White House? If so, do the Knicks accept?...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Dems’ Struggle to Attract Men Reflects Deep Disconnect

source: WND

By Ben Shapiro: Over the past decade, much of the political and cultural conversation on the left has framed masculinity in negative terms. Men are frequently described as "toxic" or privileged.

By Karl Rove: Pelley claimed in his Times interview that Ms. Weiss put “a thumb on the scale” for the Trump administration in CBS’s coverage of last year’s chaos in Minneapolis. (Which CBS denies.)

Maine Kampf: Platner Clinches Dem Primary

Platner tries to wake up and be a better version of himself every morning. Perhaps he should revisit a conversation paid with a sincere apology to Army veteran, Ted Daniels, for wishing him dead.
