TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Jun. 10, 2026

Greetings! The Nodfather: Looks like the portly Potus’s nocturnal tweeting and habitual Big Mac consumption is catching up to him.  Trump was caught napping in a Madison Square Garden skybox during the game 3 of the NBA finals Monday night.  Just last week, Sec. of State Marco Rubio was grilled in a Congressional hearing by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) about Trump’s proclivity to falling asleep during meetings, which Rubio denied. Lieu then produced the damning video.. Worth noting: The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal just published an op-ed praising Trump for his vigor on the eve of his 80th birthday, especially compared to Joe Biden…Dept. of No Surprises: Two-thirds of residents of Montana, Wyoming and Alaska live in a household with at least one gun, according to the Ammo website.  New Jersey and Massachusetts tied with only 14.7% of residents residing in a home with a firearm….NewsBusters has published a blistering rundown of what it considers the worst of “60 Minutes” that illustrates its alleged leftist agenda.  Among the stories cited: a September 2022 segment in which Scott Pelley “spun” Biden’s blunders, a September 2010 segment featuring correspondent Leslie Stahl praising Jimmy Carter, and correspondent Morley Safer’s 2008 segment arguing that the key to a happy citizenship is a government modeled on socialist Denmark…So Graham Platner, nobody’s idea of an ideal candidate, won the Democratic primary in the race for the Maine Senate.  For some reason, this quote often attributed to former Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld comes to mind: “You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time”…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
