TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Apr. 23, 2025

Greetings! NewsBusters is cheering The Atlantic’s just-published piece spotlighting the success of Donald Trump’s border policies in stemming the flow of illegal immigration into the country. Migrants Are Heading South posits that after the last few years where millions of migrants flooded into the United through Central America, under the Trump administration, the “flow is changing direction.” Worth noting: The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg is the journalist who was scandalously added to Pete Hegseth’s Signal group chat last month. Hegseth, you may recall, called Goldberg “a deceitful and discredited journalist”…Even The Donald’s most vocal supporters like the NY Post’s Michael Goodwin are expressing anxiety about the Trump administration’s cascade of policy missteps of this month.  “The biggest problem is self-inflicted, in that an admitted agent of chaos has overindulged,” Goodwin wrotePJ Media targets David Hogg, the 25-year-old vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, as “the man who murdered the Democratic party.”  Hogg just announced a $20 million fund targeting geriatric members of Congress who seem to be sleep-walking through their terms. His goal is to promote younger, more dynamic politicians. All eyes are on AOC. Worth noting: Last Friday,  octogenarian Democratic strategist James Carville diplomatically called Hogg, “a contemptible little twerp.” (The Hill)… The vocal  residents of Massapequa, Long Island, are fighting to keep the town’s  Native American logo and the Chiefs as the  high school team’s name.  Naturally, with wars raging in the Middle East and Ukraine, and insane trade policies cratering the global economy, Trump has jumped into this crucial issue with a Truth Social post. The NY Post has the details…Ex-NBC News chatting head Chuck Todd admits that the “deplatforming” of Donald Trump by the media was a failure. (Unleash Prosperity)…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
