Headlines – theRighting

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Worth remembering: April 2020, when the world was in full pandemic lockdown. In recognition of those dark days, TheRighting has published a list of 200 outrageous right wing headlines from that terrifying time five years ago. It’s a toxic brew of misinformation and misdirection that harmed untold thousands of people and needlessly divided our nation at such a deadly time…Another day, another NY Post op-ed opposing Donald Trump’s tariffs. This one is from Tad DeHaven, who predicts tariffs will turn our economy upside down. “Rather than tamp down inflation or boost growth, the broad tariffs Trump plans to impose this week are likely to upend our economy in damaging ways,” opines DeHavens…Ex-CBS News legend Dan Rather posted this gem of a Turkish proverb on Facebook: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace instead becomes a circus”…Townhall’s William Marshall suggests that the U.S. put down billions of green to buy Greenland from Denmark. Marshall says the U.S. should pay every one of Greenland’s 55,000 citizens $1 million dollars to garner support for an American takeover. That alone would cost $55 billion. I’m sure a million bucks would have a lot of Greenlanders blinded with dollar signs…The right wing billionaire’s club welcomed a new member. Yesterday, Newsmax went public and its value immediately skyrocketed north of 700% making founder and CEO Chris Ruddy on paper worth more than $3 billion. (Forbes)…Meanwhile, another high profile conservative media outlet, The Daily Wire, has hit some speed bumps. Its entertainment division, which promised way more than it delivered, appears to be on life support after staff cuts and executive exodus, according to Status News. I’m not surprised. I never completely bought The Daily Wire hype about its ambitions in programming for kids…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The U.S. international broadcaster is politically biased, confused and ineffective. Tear it down.

Europe Is No Longer Worth Defending

Since we no longer share the same ideals of freedom and democracy, we should no long shoulder their burdens.

The Case for Alberta as the 51st U.S. State

source: American Thinker

Alberta has tremendous ability to supply cheap coal, oil, and natural gas to meet Trump’s Agenda47 goals. Also, rural and blue-collar Albertans are hardworking, honest people. Our cities — unfortunately like many U.S. cities — attract socialists, but this problem can be fixed.

Tariffs Will Make America Rich Again

source: Newsmax

Since President Trump started his second term, almost $3 trillion in investments in the American economy have been announced by multiple countries such as Saudi Arabia and companies such as Hyundai. This is largely due to the President's pro-American economic policies, including the threat of tariffs.

source: A Righting Original

On the fifth anniversary of that awful month of April 2020 when the civilized world just about ground to a halt, TheRighting has compiled more than 200 headlines from right wing media during those fateful 30 days. They illustrate the often misguided information and ill-advised commentary that often misled their audiences with sometimes fatal consequences.

Will You Survive Woke Medicine?

source: Washington Stand

Injecting partisan or ideological ends into the healing arts comes under guises ranging from requiring CRT-focused courses for certification to insisting doctors try to spread pro-transgender or pro-abortion messages, to denying sick people from disfavored groups lifesaving health care.

Higher Education Needed Trump’s Hostility

source: Washington Examiner

Over the past decade, everyday people have watched in horror and disgust as our once-proud public universities have descended into a liberal quagmire. Thankfully, Trump and his administration have quickly started to put an end to all of this nonsense.

Europeans navies aren’t going to deal with the problem (they barely exist), and so it falls to us.

Trump Floats Completely Legal Workaround to Make Third Term Possible

source: Western Journal

Trump’s enemies will call him a dictator no matter what he does. So he might as well use their hysteria to serve his broader purposes. In an interview with establishment propagandist Kristen Welker of NBC News, Trump did not rule out pursuing legal methods to seek a third term,

DOGE Finds 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens on Social Security. Many Voted

source: The New American

That suggests that the Biden administration purposely imported them to disenfranchise Americans. Once the illegals became voters, they would vote for Democrats, who would, in turn, set up a totalitarian far-left regime from which there would be no escape.

The jig is up and ICE is on the way.

There’s Something Very Suspicious Going on with Those Tesla Protests

source: PJ Media

You too can be reimbursed for up to $200, and all you have to do is protest Elon Musk from the comfort of a Tesla dealership. It isn't clear whether the offer from the left-wing Indivisible Project covers the cost of spray paint, keys, or bail, but money is fungible — so wink-wink, nudge-nudge, comrade.

Time to Kill NPR and PBS

source: Townhall

Let these money-making enterprises make money on their own and live within the means they provide for themselves, like everyone else. They can spend more time begging or hobnobbing with the wealthy leftists they cater to and get them to pick up the difference. Leave taxpayers the hell alone.

The Not-So-Golden State

source: Unleash Prosperity

We don’t like to always pick on California (OK, we actually do!), but the latest jobs data by state illustrate just what has gone wrong in the Golden State, and much of the rest of blue state America. They have become overly reliant on government for growth.

Why “Working Man” Actor Jason Statham Is the Action Hero We Need

source: Hollywood in Toto

Most people don’t know where Statham stood on Brexit, nor did he weigh in on the 2024 U.S. presidential election. He doesn’t wear pro-Palestinian ribbons on the red carpet, and he hasn’t shared his thoughts on the U.S. border crisis. He lets his fists do the talking for him, at least on-screen.

Columbia’s New Interim President Called Congressional Antisemitism Hearings “Nonsense”

We are now on the third Columbia president and this latest one, Claire Shipman, has criticized the House investigation on campus antisemitism, calling the hearings ‘capital hill nonsense.” Shipman is a former CNN correspondent.

Wealthy Baby Butchers at Planned Parenthood Cry Poor While Raking in Fat CEO Checks

It’s hard to keep a straight face when Planned Parenthood whines about a possible future financial hardship while cutting six-figure checks to their top brass like they’re handing out lollipops. The abortion giant’s affiliate CEOs cashed in to the tune of nearly $20 million in 2023.
