Greetings! “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” featured a prerecorded nearly eight-minute interview between Barack Obama and the popular CBS late-night host.  It was a fairly pedestrian exchange without much humor, although the ex-POTUS seemed relaxed and playful. Colbert and Obama both expressed admiration for NYC Mayor Mamdani (which annoyed Fox News). And Obama admitted that if aliens landed on earth, he’d like to be the emissary for humanity. I’m down for that.  Here’s the full interview…..Speaking of Obama, The New Yorker just dropped an interview with him in which he revealed that his ongoing involvement in politics because of Trump is creating tensions in his marriage. Memo to Barack: keep fighting for Dems and work it out with Michelle…Sick Bay Report: Jim Hoft, the far-right founder and heart and soul of The Gateway Pundit, is recovering from surgery to repair a valve in his heart.  His website has more details.…Trump bashing from the right today: The National Review writes that the president’s tariffs are destroying the ability of Americans of limited means to buy reliable entry-level cars….RIP Ted Turner. Just learned of his passing. He was the most inspirational person I ever worked for. His heart and politics were always in the right spot. He loved the environment, the news business, sports and beautiful women, and not necessarily in that order. Rupert Murdoch was his #1 foe, way before it was cool to detest the right-wing media mogul. I can honestly say that he made the world a better place and it’s one of the reasons I keep a poster of him above my desk…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
