TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Could a new Netflix movie centered on coal mining hinder the streaming giant’s $83 billion quest for Warner Bros Discovery?  “The Queen of Coal” centers on a trans woman with ambitions to work in the mines.  The fictional film, produced in Spain, drops domestically December 19.  The Daily Caller has an article quoting Gabriella Hoffman, director of the right-leaning Independent Women’s Center for Energy and Conservation, as saying, “Woke content like this could complicate potential merger talks with Warner Bros Discovery.” The Daily Caller piece offers statistics from a Concerned Women for America report claiming that 41% of kids’ shows on Netflix contain LGBTQ+ themes. Worth noting: Ultra-right YouTuber influencer Benny Johnson also seems royally annoyed about “The Queen of Coal.” He wrote on X that if Netflix buys Warner Bros, the LGBTQ agenda will rule the streaming universe.  “Cancel Netflix, block the deal, save the children,” he tweeted. When will Trump weigh in on this movie?...Bari Weiss’s The Free Press has an excerpt from Charlie Kirk’s new book Stop, In the Name God, which debuts today...Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) actually sounds sane now. Check out the fire-breathing MAGA acolyte’s perceptive NY Times op-ed where she calls out rampant congressional dysfunction.  She even says Nancy Pelosi was “a more effective House speaker than any Republican this century”... Phrase of the day: Millennial snot. That’s what  a NY Post guest columnist calls elites who condescend to the right with too much sarcasm...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

America Should Reject Immigrants from Many Countries

source: Human Events

The deleterious effects of excessive immigration are painfully apparent in our own history. However, so too are the benefits of pausing immigration, including America's highly successful 40-year pause in the 20th century, which led to a half-century of general unity.

Omar Ilhan Needs to Stop Playing the Victim

source: Conservative View from NH

Ilhan Omar is demonstrating the Somali Two-Step as she dances around every question on the Sunday talk shows, deflecting any connection to the Somali fraud case reverberating throughout Minnesota. She could win Dancing with the Stars, and she would still not be believable.

Connie Chung Bares Fangs at Husband Over Bari Weiss CBS Changes

source: Washington Examiner

Bari Weiss has barely been editor-in-chief of CBS News for two months, and already her promise to bring an even hand to the notoriously biased network is dividing media royalty. In a podcast last week, onetime CBS News anchor Connie Chung clashed with her husband and shock show host Maury Povich over the impact so far on CBS.

Former Anchor Connie Chung Freaks Out Over CBS’s New Management

source: NewsBusters

There is something about the podcast world that encourages former network journalists to let the mask slip and reveal that they really were the liberal activists critics alleged they were all along. Former CBS anchor Connie Chung was the latest example

Nearly Half of Netflix Kids’ Show Feature LGBT Content

source: The Free Press

Television producers are using their entertainment platforms to normalize LGBT values in the minds of very impressionable audiences, and it is becoming the rule, not the exception. Some 41 percent of children’s shows on Netflix are pushing the LGBT agenda, according to a recently released report by Concerned Women for America.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Extension Ultimate Sign of No Confidence

source: Hollywood in Toto

The far-Left comedian just extended his current ABC/Disney contract by a year. That means he’ll still be telling Orange Man Bad jokes after fellow propagandist Stephen Colbert hangs up his “Late Show” mic in May.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Doesn’t Get New Respect from “60 Minutes”

Let’s just say that MTG does not come off well in this segment, and you get the impression that Lesley Stahl was only there because 1) she wants to keep her job under Bari Weiss’ management, and 2) she thought that she could get MTG to make some abject apologies, When that didn’t happen, MTG got “combative,” and Stahl raised her eyebrows to the audience.

New Book Aimed at 5-Year-Olds Claims Abortion Is a “Superpower”

source: Breitbart

Shout Your Abortion has been promoting a book aimed at children 5-8 called “Abortion is Everything,” which will begin shipping next month. A description on the organization’s website says the book tells children “about what abortion is, how it might feel, and why people have abortions.”

The newly announced Senate candidate is perhaps the only person the Democrats could pick who is almost guaranteed to lose in the midterms.

JB Pritzker Should Think About Resisting Sandwiches Rather Than Trump

Illinois Governor Pritzker has been working on his tough guy shtick ever since President Trump was sworn in last January. It's absurd that a doughy guy of privilege is acting like some kind of hardened street thug.

Climate Activists Want to Change Our Legal System

source: Newsmax

As activists, blue states, and blue cities file climate change lawsuits by the hundreds, the reality is that those cases are only the tip of an iceberg. This litigation is only the visible part of a well-financed effort to re-shape the world, especially the United States, through unelected judges and bureaucrats.

Why Does the Fed Need 300 PhD Economists?

source: Unleash Prosperity

We’ve complained about this bureaucratic bloat at the Fed for years, and so we were pleased to see Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pick up on the theme. He said, "My worry is that the Fed is turning into universal basic income for PhD economists."

The Smarmy, Patronizing Way Liberal Elites Talk Down to the Rest of Us

source: NY Post

More than any other figure, Jon Stewart shaped the liberal attitude toward conservative voters as contemptible rubes who deserve mockery. His “Daily Show” run normalized bitchy snark as the default mode of liberal discourse. Watching Stewart get big “clapter” for this stuff trained a whole generation to “dunk” as praxis.

Another Pointless Trump-Era Protest

source: The American Conservative

Days after Trump called a reporter “piggy,” a group of women boarded a bus in Ohio for a trip to Washington, DC, to fight for “regime change.” But they don’t understand how naive they sound, wanting to believe some signs and a long bus ride might affect anything—never mind something as extreme as forced regime change in a democracy.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! This weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” delivered an epic takedown of SecDef Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth and his conflicting accounts of bombing boats suspected of running drugs. Here’s the hilarious video. Hegseth has become a  national punchline…Earlier today, Donald Trump dropped an unhinged Truth Social post attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene, CBS News, and Lesley Stahl for the veteran journalist’s “60 Minutes” interview last night with the soon-to-retire Georgia congresswoman. The Donald called Stahl “washed up,” dubbed  Greene  “traitor” and “dumb,” and boasted that he was the nation’s  “favorite president.” It was yet another window into a dark and disturbed mind....The Federalist suggests three more countries that should be added to Trump’s travel ban list: India, Mexico and China.  It’s “obvious that we’re not importing ‘top-tier talent’ from these countries that are either cartel-controlled, hostile to the U.S., or third-world,” opines The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman.  “There is no compelling benefit to mass migration from any of these countries (legal or illegal), and in many cases, there are clear downsides”...The country’s most right-wing watering hole? It’s gotta be Eagle Idaho’s Old State Saloon.  The bar promises that anyone who assists ICE in outing an illegal alien that results in deportation gets free beer for a month. (Bet it’s not Bud Light.) However, Breitbart reports that Old State owner Mark Fitzpatrick is receiving death threats over the free beer offer. Worth noting: the saloon seems to have male identity issues. Its theme nights include Manly American Mondays (a free beer to all American citizen men who support ICE) and Whistleblower Wednesdays (straight  couples get a 10% discount)....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
