TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Seeing Red: The first Anti-Communist Film Festival was held Oct. 1-4 at DC’s Victims of Communism Museum. Selections included “The Lives of Others,” “Dr. Zhivago” and “Red Dawn.” The purpose of the festival, according to the right-leaning Washington Times, was to “counter modern movies' leftist advocacy.” Mark Judge, a conservative activist and high school friend of Supreme Court Justice Brett  Kavanaugh, was one of the festival’s organizers...Headline of the week for Trump haters (courtesy of the Daily Star): “’Poo-Smelling’ Trump ‘Suffered Stroke’ and Now Has Jelly Legs as ‘End Is Near.’” The cheeky UK tabloid often runs highly speculative articles so take this article with a grain of salt...News of the week for ICE haters: Production on the Daily Wire’s pro-ICE movie “Pawn Shop” was shut down over the weekend in Livingston, MT. Locals apparently voiced concerns about the production (like blank gunshots) as well as the movie’s opening scene, which appears to dramatize the shooting of Minnesota’s Renee Good earlier this year, per Deadline.  The movie, which takes place in Minneapolis during a time of civil unrest, revolves around a young federal agent who seeks shelter in a local pawn shop...Hollywood in Toto’s Christian Toto scolds right-wing media for not doing more to support the Daily Wire’s most recent film, “Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels.”  In a weekend column, he termed the lack of conservative coverage “shocking” and specifically mentioned Breitbart, RedState, The Blaze and the Post Millennial for ignoring the movie. (Here’s what I wrote about the Islamophobic movie two weeks ago)....Don Jr.’s star turn is coming. But not in a good way, says an editorial in the Wall Street Journal.  After the midterms, assuming the Democrats dominate as expected, the  president’s son is likely to face intensifying scrutiny for his investments, friendship with a Russian oligarch and crypto deals. “Better lawyer up,” the Journal’s editors advise. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

It is unpopular to say such things these days, but men and boys have a moral responsibility to protect women and girls. At the very least, they have a responsibility not to enable their harm.

By Kurt Schlichter: Women are no more important than men. They have no special right to be validated, or to have others comply with their demands or wishes. They’re not special. They get treated like men. They have to prove their claims with actual proof. You don’t get to skip to the end by skipping over the rights of the accused, even if they are accused penis people of pallor.
