TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Dec. 10, 2025

Greetings! Time magazine’s Person of the Year should be slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.  So says the Washington Examiner….Cringe alert. At yesterday’s political rally at a casino (yes, a casino) in Mount Pocono, Penn., Trump alluded creepily to the physical characteristics of his 28-year-old press secretary Karoline Leavitt.  “That beautiful face and those lips that don’t stop like a machine gun,” he said. Here’s the video that was posted on X. Worth noting: At the same rally, Trump referred to his chief of staff Susan Wiles as Susan “Trump,” according to the NY Times (7th graph)…Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just unveiled a website highlighting what it terms are the worst criminal aliens arrested in the United States. The site includes the names, photographs and offenses of nearly one thousand people swept up by the DHS…Trump has been using Truth Social to promote the late Charlie Kirk’s new book “Stop, In the Name of God.” What’s noteworthy is that he’s encouraging his audience to buy the book at the conservative Winning Team Publishing (and provides a link) which was co-founded by Don Jr. The book is available “anywhere books are sold,” as Trump adds without providing links…The controversial full-length play “October 7” will be staged at DC’s Kennedy Center in January and Hollywood in Toto says it never would have been shown there before Trump was president. “This isn’t your Biden-era Kennedy Center,” writes editor Christian Toto of the play which features verbatim dialogue from Israeli survivors of the murderous attacks on October 7, 2023.  Worth noting: Toto refers to the Kennedy Center as “the Trumpian KenCen.” That’s the first time I’ve seen it described that way…Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) has introduced articles of impeachment against SecDef Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth.  Here’s the press release. One of the charges is “Conspiracy to Commit Murder”….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
