TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

May. 2, 2025

Greetings! I have a dark theory why Mike Waltz took the fall yesterday for the Signalgate fiasco instead of Pete “Hair Gel” Hegseth.  My spidey-sense tells me that Trump’s end game is to declare martial law once the demonstrations grow in numbers and ferocity over the next 18 months.  He will then call on the military to maintain “order” under a provision in the Insurrection Act. Then the military, under Hegseth’s command, will follow orders.  Hegseth owes his undeserved status and power completely to Trump and he will carry out the orders without hesitation…David Horowitz, conservative icon and editor of FrontPage has died. He was a radical leftist who famously and publicly turned staunch conservative (Daily Signal and NY Times).  Worth noting: His son Ben is a partner in the powerful Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz…Foxnews.com continues to occasionally feature Dem politicians writing in its opinion pages.  Two days ago it published an op-ed by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) who called for the end of the corruption that he said marked Trump’s first 100 days. Other prominent Dem pols whose views have been featured on the widely read conservative website include Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Illinois Governor JD Pritzker, according to Mediaite. Worth noting: Foxnews.com has op-eds today from Secretary of Everything Marco Rubio and Kellyanne Conway…Weekend watch: I need something calm and soothing, so today I’m recommending the Poppy the Pygmy Hippo Cam coming to you live from the Richmond, VA, zoo…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard.
