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

Greetings! Phrase of the day: Elite overproduction. It’s when “when members of the elite (or those with the talents to join it) become too numerous for society to accommodate their aspirations,” explains Andrew Stuttaford in the National Review.  Seems like a fancy way of saying there are not enough jobs for recent college grads...Book news: The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway has written a biography of conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. And, of course, our  erudite POTUS gave full-throated support for the book in a Truth Social post. Wanna bet he hasn’t and never will read it?...Backlash against The Boss: Ticket prices for Bruce Springsteen’s current tour hit some sour notes with NJ.com’s Bobby Oliver. “Springsteen’s artistic identity, as a bleeding-heart populist who sings for the destitute and downtrodden, has never been more disconnected from his economic behavior as a touring act or businessman,” writes Oliver. Tickets sell for nearly $3,000 and “No Kings” t-shirts fetch $90, he claims. The right-wing Hollywood in Toto website took note too... Hollywood in Toto also targets George Clooney and his wife for donating $1 million to the Left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center in 2017. The group is now under investigation by the Justice Department for allegedly funneling money to pay leaders of certain hate groups for inside information. That led to this head-snapping headline in Hollywood in Toto: Did George Clooney Help Fund KKK, Unite the Right?...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
