TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

May. 2, 2024

Greetings! The near-round-the-clock coverage of pro-Palestinian protestors has been a huge political gift for Donald Trump. The lead story on news broadcasts, newspapers and websites has been dominated by student unrest, while the sordid details of Trump’s hush money trials get second billing. The campus disruptions have been red meat for right wing media allowing them to attack higher education, elite universities and any form of campus wokeism. Furthermore, Biden looks weak by not forcefully speaking out on the issue leading the Washington Free Beacon to call him the invisible president. I’m getting the awful feeling that Israel may be Biden’s Viet Nam. Key event in the next four months: the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The echoes of 1968 are getting louder….Podcast superstar Joe Rogan calls woke universities “cult colleges” in his latest program. Hollywood in Toto has the colorful details… Fair question: Progressive radio host Thom Hartmann asks if “dictator” Trump would kill his political rivals in this column. I must say, that chilling thought crossed my mind too…And finally, in my bid to take your mind off the unsettling news of the week, I give you a list of the creepiest towns in America, courtesy of Outkick….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
