TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Aug. 18, 2025

Greetings! I have a growing fear that Trump’s federalization of the DC police force is much more than a distraction for the Epstein quagmire he finds himself in.  His end game, I suspect, is to roll out more U.S. army units in our cities with the complete cooperation of SecDef “Hairgel” Hegseth until it ends in a violent clash between military forces and demonstrators.  And then, to restore “law and order,” he will declare martial law and midterm elections will be postponed….Trump spent part of Sunday moaning on Truth Social about how the “fake news” media reported dishonestly about his nothingburger of a summit in Alaska with Putin on Friday.  “I had a great meeting in Alaska on Biden’s stupid War, a war that should have never happened!!!” Trump wrote. And of course, he had to get in a gratuitous dig at Joe Biden….Putin has a pen pal at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  Melania Trump wrote an anodyne note to Vlad urging him to “put children first,” which Trump posted on Truth Social.  Victory Girls termed the note “an artful piece of diplomacy and PR,” which strikes me as a very generous description….Bad news for Elon: The Free Press compared China’s BYD, the world’s best-selling electric vehicle, to a Tesla. The Tesla came out on top, but BYD is quickly closing the gap. Worth noting: half of BYD’s sell for under $25,000….I’ve posted some images from Saturday’s Fight the Trump Takeover rallies.  If you have any photos, please send to me: Howard(AT)TheRighting.com. I’ll post and credit. Be sure to name the location…If you keep reading and protesting, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
