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

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.”

JB Pritzker Should Think About Resisting Sandwiches Rather Than Trump

source: PJ Media

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.

What Happened to the Climate Change Cult?

Most of the indoctrination for climate alarmism came from the universities, and they are facing financial freefall from the Trump Administration. Promoting Islamic terror has its drawbacks, including massive cuts to funding for all programs, especially the push for climate change terror.

The Climate Catastrophizer Model Meltdown

source: Washington Examiner

On the heels of Democratic Party donor Bill Gates reversing course by admitting that climate change will not “decimate civilization,” the prestigious scientific journal, Nature, officially retracted a key pillar of climate alarmism this week, functionally admitting that much of the anti-energy policy pushed by global elites has no basis in fact.
