TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Jill Biden’s memoir, A View from East Wing, hits retail shelves today. She shares her recollections about her husband’s presidency including his awful June 2024 debate performance that every Democrat wants to forget. Thanks to the former First Lady, it’s now being discussed and dissected all over again...Great Scott (Pelley): Journalism’s hero of the year turns out to be “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley. Yesterday, he fearlessly and ferociously confronted “60 Minutes’” new boss Nick Bilton during a tense, initial meeting with the staff.   Pelley, according to CNN and other news outlets, stood up to Bilton who was installed as the executive producer of the long-running newsmagazine by the right-leaning new honcho of CBS News Bari Weiss. Didn’t think Pelley had it in him, but yesterday he proved himself as someone worthy of carrying the torch of past CBS legends like Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather. I’m wondering what his “60 Minutes” colleague Lesley Stahl will do. She’s 84 years old and has spent more than half a century at CBS News. I hope she publicly supports Pelley and goes out in a blaze of glory. To spend the last year or two of her professional life in a Bari Weiss-controlled newsroom would be an insult to her esteemed career...Townhall says that conservatives give better graduation speeches than liberals. I guess I haven’t been paying attention...Here’s a tongue-twisting, 23-word headline no Senate candidate wants to read about themselves (courtesy of the Washington Free Beacon): “Look at All These Democrats Defending Graham Platner, the Nazi-Inked Porta Potty Masturbator Caught Sexting on Hookup App Dubbed ‘Paradise’ for Child Predators”....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Today's Headlines From the Right

“60 Minutes Is Burning. Bring the Marshmallows

source: American Spectator

Scott Pelley is making himself a pain in the ass so that he can claim to be a victim of “censorship” when he’s let go for a completely different reason — namely, that he’s a leftist hack whose journalistic product is middling at best, that he makes far too much money for the number of eyes it draws, and that his irritating public outbursts are bad for the CBS News brand.

Scott Pelley Had a Meltdown Over Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton Running CBS

source: Townhall

What CBS News boss Bari Weiss expects is a fair and balanced approach to news stories that show both sides. The Left is so entrenched in believing the legacy media exist solely as propagandists and stenographers for the DNC that even a slight shift to neutrality is considered kowtowing to Republicans.

Pompous Pelley Tells New “60 Minutes” Boss, “You’re Murdering Our Show”

source: NewsBusters

The show hasn't been killed by CBS like that sitcom DMV or their medical drama Watson. They want to pretend the show is "executed" if it isn't 100 percent anti-Trump and anti-Republican all the time.

Taylor Swift Could Save the Freedom 250 Concert

source: Hollywood in Toto

Swift should agree to join the flailing Freedom 250 concert lineup, the very one that shed the vast majority of its acts in recent days. Swift is literally too big to cancel. If she stood her ground and sang for her country out of pure gratitude, she’d survive the “scandal.” And, here’s betting, other musicians would follow her lead. America deserves nothing less.

The Freedom 250 Concert Could’ve Been Great

source: Wall Street Journal

If Freedom 250 is meant to cater only to Republicans, or only to Trump’s hardcore fanbase, it’s doing a poor job. The Trumpiest thing about the Freedom 250 site is a few photos of Trump doing presidential things, like giving a speech to Navy sailors while wearing a red USA hat and watching fireworks with his wife.

The NFL’s Main Social Media Accounts Remained Silent About Pride Month on Its First Day

source: Fox News

For conservatives, Christians and others, it is a small victory they hope extends throughout the entire month and eventually to the league's individual teams, most of which embraced Pride Month on its first day. Nine of the 32 teams did not recognize Pride Month on Monday.

“Pride Month” Is Proof That Institutional Neutrality Is a Lie

source: The Federalist

Entities like MLB will either be dominated by what is true, good, and beautiful, or they will succumb to the type of sinful lies parroted during ‘pride month.’

Graham Platner’s Rise Paves the Way for Groypers

source: The American Conservative

It remains to be seen whether Graham Platner, the by turns troubled and troubling Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, sees his campaign end like Joe Biden after that ill-fated 2024 debate performance or, instead, like Donald Trump after the 2016 release of the “Access Hollywood” tape (or any number of other controversies).

Graham Platner’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

For those suffering from Platner fatigue, his campaign is the gift that keeps on giving, so to speak. This time, however, he may be screwed.

Dems Back Platner Because They Don’t Understand Men

source: Washington Examiner

The inability of Democrats to understand male voters has ironically led to them constantly defending the toxic masculinity of Graham Platner in pursuit of political power.

Graham Platner Loses Women

source: FrontPage

There’s something gross and off-putting about Platner. It might be the Nazi tattoo, the smelly hobo look, the insistence that his wife release a video defending him for sexting, the other video in which his wife emphasizes that their fertility problems aren’t his fault, and the long trail of bigoted Reddit posts.

Dem Females Demand Paid time Off for Menstruation

source: Victory Girls

If you ever wondered what Veruca Salt would be like as a 45-year-old member of Congress, complete with keffiyeh and septum ring, look no farther than the cohort of D-females demanding 12 days of employer-paid leave for menstruation, right now, or else. The Squad goon, Rashida Tlaib is right in the middle of this puerile tantrum masquerading as sober policy.

The Democratic Party’s Radical Lurch and the Reckoning It Invited in

source: Western Journal

The Democratic Party assembled its current coalition through deliberate choices: mainstreaming radicals, tolerating anti-Semitic rhetoric, and embedding the Democratic Socialists of America inside its infrastructure. The bill is coming due in 2026, and the scramble for distance is neither convincing nor timely.

Masculinity Is the First Battleground of the Texas Senate Race

source: The Free Press

In the Trump era, voters are used to candidates insulting opponents. One race this year may test how far the trend can go.

Radical Left-Wing ICE Protestors Attacking Horses in New Jersey

source: SteveGruber.com

The radical left’s war on ICE has found a new target: horses. What reportedly began as illegal aliens’ unverified complaints  at the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark has descended into terrorist-style attacks on NJ State Police and their horses where a-hole leftists are throwing rocks, bottles, and even lumber at police officers and their horses.

Scientists Move Away from Climate Doomerism That Hurt Birth Rates

source: NY Post

Much of the climate anxiety shaping millennial and Gen Z attitudes toward the future was manufactured through exaggerated predictions that are now being abandoned.
