TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Jan. 28, 2026

Greetings! “Donald Trump is uniquely unqualified for the office of the presidency.” So opines the right-leaning Dispatch in an editorial blasting the MAGA-in-Chief and his servile cabinet and senior advisors. The editors call him “a man with no sense of integrity or administrative acumen, and one who is lazy, vain, ignorant, and vulnerable to flattery—all of which make him easy to manipulate for figures such as Stephen Miller”… Is Kristi Noem on thin ICE after the Minneapolis fiasco? It’s certainly plausible to imagine The  Donald throwing the Sec. of Homeland Security under the same Zamboni where the recently defenestrated Greg Bovino wound up yesterday…Trump is fuming this morning about a subject of super importance: Ex-New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick failed to get  elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first eligible round.  “It is the same mindset that gave pro football the new and unwatchable ‘Sissy’ Kickoff Rule, that made it possible for Bill Belichick to not be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” he wrote on Truth Social this morning. “Both are ridiculous and should be overturned.” …We interrupt this newsletter for our semi-annual fund-raising appeal.
