TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Oct. 1, 2025

Greetings and say hello to October.  For the record, I don’t eat anything pumpkin-flavored this month or ever.  And I assure you, my distaste predates the political ascendance of our pumpkin-skinned POTUS…Quite a hair-raising address Donald Trump uncorked on the military’s top brass at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia yesterday.  Hard to choose the most alarming statement from his unhinged hour-plus rant. He dangled the possibility of nuclear war, boasting that “we have more (nuclear weapons) than anyone else.” Trump floated using major Democrat-controlled cities as warfare training grounds for the military. He called U.S. inner city residents “animals” and  journalists  “sleazebags.”  His full spiel along with Sec. of War Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth’s opening act tirade can be seen here. Worth noting: Trump uses the politically incorrect term “paddy wagon,” rightfully considered a slur against  Irish-Americans…Commander-in-Chief for Life: Last night, The Donald posted photos of “Trump 2028” baseball caps on his Oval Office desk (Truth Social)…. According to the Daily Wire, which claims this exclusive story from last week, the man  who was just found guilty for the thwarted 2022 attempt to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman…BTW:  the Daily Wire has announced the expansion of its editorial team with the hiring of three reporters, including one journo focused on  all-important Texas. That seems smart…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
