TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Aug. 20, 2025

Greetings! Yesterday I wrote about how Oklahoma was targeting teachers from New York and California, requiring them to take a certification test to reveal woke beliefs that would disqualify them for certification. Well, there may be another subtle reason that Oklahoma has zeroed in on those two big blue states – they have the two highest Jewish populations of any other states in the union.  Worth noting: Only 0.1% of Oklahomans are Jewish.  Only South Dakota has fewer  Jews (0.0%), according to WRAI…The  largest federal detention center in the United States is now under construction  in El Paso, Texas. When completed in 202, it’s expected to incarcerate 5,000 allegedly illegal immigrants. Western Journal praises Sen. John Corwyn (R-TX) for giving the El Paso facility a catchy nickname: the Lone Star Lockup.  Cruel irony that this prison is housed at an  army base named Fort Bliss. I’m sure it will be  anything but bliss for future prisoners in that penal institution…Octogenarian Watch: It’s 297 days until Trump’s 80th birthday.  Descending dementia may be the  reason POTUS forgot the name of the Pacific Ocean as The Daily Beast gleefully reported yesterday.  The pub described him as “lost at sea”…Donald Trump believes he has a shot at a heavenly afterlife because of how he’s handled the conflict between two nuclear-armed nations. “But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” he was quoted as saying in WND. “I think I saved a lot of lives in India and Pakistan”…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
