TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! And a white-knuckle welcome to Power Plant Day and Bridge Day. That’s what the pouting POTUS has dubbed today because he’s threatening to destroy key Iranian infrastructure if the country’s leaders don’t open up the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. tonight...Last night on Truth Social, Trump endorsed California GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton...Also, The Donald  reposted a 17-second video of a scene from Minnesota’s gigantic Mall of America crowded with women dressed in hijabs. “This literally is the ‘Mall of America,’” wrote the America-first author of the American AF X account. “85% of these people are on welfare, btw,” he added without citing his source.  By reposting, Trump is actually endorsing this racist point of view. Worth mentioning: The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported that the video Trump reposted was from 2019 and showed the Eid celebration, one of the most important festivities in Islam...Dept. of New Phrases: Kink-shaming.  I came across this phrase reading about Bryon Noem’s apparent cross-dressing, big breast fetish.  It appears it’s a big no-no to make fun of someone’s fetishes or kinks. The Psychology Today website explains why...Is the Strait of Hormuz closed forever? That provocative question is at the heart of a new podcast hosted on The Free Press featuring shipping expert Sal Mercogliano...London Calling: For the first time, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is coming to London reflecting a growing turn to the right in the UK. The conference will be held July 16-18. No speakers have been announced yet....Colorado is the most authoritarian state in the country. So claims the Washington Examiner. I still love the Aspen region...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Left Is Baffled — But Still Repulsed — by the White Working Class

Democrats can rebrand candidates, but they cannot hide a long record of condescension toward the very working-class voters they now need to win back.

Trump Can Make America Optimistic Again

source: Wall Street Journal

There is ample cause for optimism about America. Last week the Journal reported that more middle-class Americans are moving toward the upper middle class. We have sent astronauts to the moon for the first time in more than half a century. In a daring exploit, we recovered a lost pilot behind enemy lines. We are the global leader in artificial intelligence.

Assisted Suicide Is a Threat to Freedom

source: Wall Street Journal

A young woman subject to limited alternatives asked for suicide—and rather than being given help to live freely, she was granted help to die. Noelia Castillo Ramos’s death wasn’t an exercise of freedom but a desperate response to its erosion. A truly free society doesn’t leave citizens in a predicament where death is considered their best option.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Dropping F-bombs on Iran: In a Truth Social post yesterday, the potty-mouthed POTUS ranted, “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards or you’ll be living in hell.” What puzzles me is why he dropped the “g” while using the “F” word as an adjective. Did he think that it made him sound tough?...Former “60 Minutes” correspondent Steve Kroft just did Bill O’Reilly a solid, appearing as a guest on the scandal-scarred ex-Fox News star’s new weekly podcast, “We’ll Do It Live.”  At the 3:44 mark in the program, Kroft eviscerated “60 Minutes,” where he worked for 28 years, calling it “a toxic work environment.”  That headline-grabbing assessment resulted in articles in the NY Post and other outlets, giving free promo to O’Reilly’s fledgling show. My question for Kroft: Why the hell do a podcast hosted by Bill O’Reilly who was dropped by Fox after multiple charges of sexual harassment? It helps legitimize him....Melania writes! Fox News has an op-ed with the  First Lady’s byline extolling the benefits of AI to deliver  a “world-class education” to the nation’s children... Over the weekend, the NY Times Book Review published a list of the 100 best books of the 21stcentury. There was only one book in that list that I’ve read – Philip Roth’s excellent 2004 novel The Plot Against America, ranked #65.  I'm a fairly obsessive reader of both fiction and nonfiction books, so the NYT's picks really opened my eyes. I guess my tastes are more mainstream than I thought (not that there's anything wrong with it)....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Jennifer Newsom, “First Partner” of the United States?

source: FrontPage

Imagine if this brain-dead progressive ideologue becomes “First Partner” of the U.S. Her “partner” Gavin would do plenty of his damage to the country, but activist Jennifer would work tirelessly to push woke gender policies and educational programs in schools that would marginalize and demonize boys even more than our feminized culture already has.

Gavin Newsom’s Wife “Educates” Us on Trump and the Patriarchy

By Toni Williams: Jennifer Seibel had transactional sex with (Harvey) Weinstein, “dated” George Clooney and married Gavin Newsom. Excuse me, I need Pepto Bismol. Ick.

The California Exodus Grows

source: Daily Signal

People don’t leave California for Texas for the better weather, they go because they can’t afford to stay in a state with high taxes (if you buy Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “low-tax state” spiel, you are a chump), an outrageous cost of living, and dysfunctional government to boot.

Trump Drops an F-Bomb and Dems Freak Out

source: PJ Media

Trump spent Easter Sunday in a rather unique way, posting a profanity-soaked ultimatum on Truth Social that had Iran on notice and liberal pundits clutching their pearls and fantasizing about the 25th Amendment.

Trump’s Vulgar Strait of Hormuz Ultimatum Leaves Iran Reeling

source: BlabberBuzz

Neutral observers may bristle because the threat came on Easter Sunday, a day reserved for reflection rather than war rhetoric. Yet the strategy behind Trump’s words is not difficult to discern. In his view, dealing with “insane terrorist lunatics” requires a willingness to speak in terms they understand, projecting a level of unpredictability that makes them think twice before escalating.

Joe Kent’s resignation follows a well-worn path from irrelevance to media celebrity.

“SNL” News Man Jokes About Trump Being Shot at Theater, Like Lincoln

source: NewsBusters

The "comedy" writers at NBC's Saturday Night Live have a raging hatred of President Trump. In the fake-news "Weekend Update" segment, fake anchor Michael Che made a joke about Trump being assassinated at the theater like Abraham Lincoln.

Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che noted that Trump attended a showing of the Broadway show “Chicago” this week. “What’s the worst that could happen?” Che said, alluding to actor John Wilkes Booth’s infamous act. Wild, sustained applause and cheers ensued. Not laughs, mind you. Cheers

For the third time, SCOTUS has slapped down an attempt by Colorado to control what people say, think, and do regarding sexuality.

Election Fraud is a Serious Problem for the Midterms

Michelle Obama Says the Country Is Not Ready for a Female President

The country is more than ready for a female chief executive, just not her.

Don’t Freak Out If We Lose the Birthright Citizenship Case

source: Townhall

We’re not going to get a constitutional amendment that is going to change things in the foreseeable future, but by raising these arguments and spotlighting some of the practical consequences of birthright citizenship, Trump has set the stage for legislation that can address some of these issues while remaining in compliance with the birthright citizenship interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

The Department of Education Celebrates America and the Left Hates It

The Education Department’s national tour shows conservatives are once again engaging in the culture war.
