TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Got 125 minutes to kill?  If so, check out Elon Musk’s chat with Donald Trump that was botched so terribly Monday night.  Be sure to note Trump’s lisp which is quite pronounced at time. It’s posted here…Meanwhile, on his website, Trump is crowing that the interview “broke the internet.”  Trust me, the Dark Duke of Mar-A-Lago was referring to the hundreds of thousands who tuned in, not the broken technology that marred the conversation…The Washington Examiner thinks that JD Vance is doing a fine job running for VP, and  gushes that he “hits his stride and defines Kamala Harris while swatting away talking heads.”  Seems like they may have confused Vance with Kamala’s running mate Tim Waltz…The National Review is pleased that feminist breakdancer Raygun didn’t win a medal at the just-concluded Olympics…The Free Press claims Planned Parenthood has become a leading supplier of testosterone which is used in gender transition therapies. Last year, roughly 40,000 patients went to Planned Parenthood for this purpose, per TFP..…Neo-com commentator Eli Lake says America needs a new national anthem because “The Star Spangled Banner” doesn’t capture the nation’s rock n’ roll soul.  Lake has some soft rock in mind to celebrate the United States 250th birthday in 2026, including  Elton John’s “Philadelphia Freedom.”  He also campaigns for “We Are the World,” which he argues is appropriate because we are a nation of immigrants. Not a bad idea. (The Free Press)…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
