Greetings! Cynical guy asks: anything worth watching tonight on TV?…With all the Presidential Debate Smackdown hoopla, let’s not forget that July 11 is the date we find out whether The Donald is going to the slammer. Meanwhile, on July 1, Steve Bannon may be on his way to the big house, for a four-month incarceration sabbatical courtesy of U.S. taxpayers…The generally stuffy Washington Free Beacon has a satirical piece today about a supposed leaked document containing the questions that CNN moderators will ask tonight. Here’s just one cringy question from the fictional list for Donald Trump: “You probably didn’t notice that Barron is no longer in the audience. That’s because our colleague Jim Acosta is holding him hostage at an undisclosed location and will only release him unharmed if you agree right now to drop out of the race. What do you say?”…Right wing Hollywood in Toto describes the Santa Monica Film Festival – now in its 18th year – as the “subversive film festival” because it celebrates “free speech and diversity of thought.” One major film from last February’s festival was “Shot Dead,” a documentary about an 18-year-old woman who died after receiving a Covid injection…The Federalist offers up the worst list of summer beachside books I have ever seen. Natch, all the tomes lean right. The list includes The Smear, by Sharyl Attkisson and Big Intel, by J. Michael Waller. Even The Federalist admits they’re not “light reads”…Big thanks to all who donated to TheRighting yesterday. That will help fund keep us until 2025, and who knows what our world will look like then …If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
