TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Feb. 20, 2025

Greetings! Another day, another Rupert Murdoch outlet criticizing Trump. This time, a NY Post fiery editorial condemns Trump’s outlandish financial demands on Ukraine. “Helping Ukraine defend itself from Vladimir Putin’s illegal, barbaric invasion was the right thing to do,” the editors wrote. “To squeeze the war-crippled country for all we can, simply because we can would be despicable.” The NY Post noted that the hundreds of billions the U.S. is seeking from Ukraine is “a demand that a victor might make of a country that started and lost a war, to teach a lesson. Indeed, as a share of GDP, it looks to be harsher than what the victorious allies imposed on Germany in the Peace of Versailles after World War I.” I rarely agree with NY Post editorials, however this time the Murdoch tabloid nailed it…The Free Press, the right-titling news outlet co-founded by  Bari Weiss, also trashed Trump’s assertion that Ukraine started the devastating three-year war with Russia…WND is reporting a rumor that the Delta flight that crashed upside-down in Toronto was piloted by an all-female crew. The airline has not released the gender of pilot or crew, per WND.  But the subtext of the article appears that men are more capable pilots than women…Trump has not  posted any content in the news section of his website since January 17. He used to regularly express his opinions there and link to stories that affirmed his beliefs or showered him with praise. However, when you land on the MAGA-in-Chief’s website, the first image is a Shop Now button for a site hawking Trump  merch…Hadn’t noticed: PJ Media compliments the Big-Mac-munching macher of Mar-a-Lago on his apparent weight loss, calling it impressive.  Reports suggested he dropped 20 pounds…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
