Greetings!  Teflon Don: Trump’s political survival skills kicked into overdrive in the chaotic aftermath of a gunman’s attempt to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in the Washington Hilton ballroom where the president was set speak Saturday night. Later in the evening, safely back at the White House, Trump held a press conference, looking gleeful and robust, a man who once again cheated death. His late night presser, against the wishes of his security team (per Trump), burnished his desired image as the invincible and masculine MAGA warrior. And after The Donald’s no good, very bad, horrible stretch of bad news recently, the week ended on best note imaginable for him. No one yesterday was talking about high gas prices and low approval ratings....Here’s the manifesto of alleged shooter Cole Tomas Allen that was published in the NY Post...Dept. of Bad Ideas: Trump is pressing for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to be rescheduled in the next 30 days. Why give Trump a second chance to insult journos and the organizations they work for? The WHCA dodged a...uh....embarrassing situation when the night’s festivities were cut short before the president could turn his verbal firepower on the room before a live TV audience. In the aftermath of the mayhem, Trump boasted that it would  have been “the most inappropriate speech ever made.”  Memo to the WHCA: don’t reschedule. Instead, start planning next year’s event and put in place much better security...The editor of the left-leaning Daily Beast, Hugh Dougherty, had the room next to the suspected WHCD shooter at the Washington Hilton, and noted several security flaws. (Townhall)...Far right conspiracy shit slinger Alex Jones, doesn’t believe Saturday night’s WHCD shooting was staged. For once, I agree with Jones. (Infowars)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Weekend Watch: Donald Trump headlines the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner tomorrow night. Hundreds of journos and the bigwigs that sign their paychecks will be in attendance at the rubber chicken schmooze fest.  While past presidents usually appear, this is the first year in office that Trump will join in the festivities. The Daily Beast predicts that the portly POTUS will take nasty potshots at the press. If  he does deliver one of his unhinged  blistering rants, will journalists walk out or sit there and take the verbal beatdown? Stay tuned.  Watch live Saturday at 8 PM on either C-SPAN, CNN or NewsNation....The Washington Free Beacon claims The NY Times flubbed the  sales figures for Rep. Elise Stefanik’s new book Poisoned Ivies.  The Times ranks the take-down of elite, woke universities as #3 on its nonfiction best-sellers list.  However, the Free Beacon says “Poisoned Ivies” sold 20,186 copies between April 12-18, compared to the #1 Times best-selling nonfiction book, Lena Dunham’s “Famesick.” It sold 19,270, based on data from Bookscan, which would make "Poisoned Ivies" #1...Trump Interpreter Wanted: I read The Donald's Truth Social rants every day and I usually get the point. However, this post baffles me: “The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the greatest political scams in American History, has been charged with FRAUD. This is another Democrat Hoax, along with Act Blue, and many others. If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT.” The 2020 election reference makes no sense. Am I missing something?...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
