TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Karoline Leavitt’s holiday on ICE: Looks like the fast-talking White House press secretary may have a slippery Thanksgiving. News has leaked that Leavitt’s nephew’s mother was arrested last month by ICE agents near Boston.  Bruna Caroline Ferreira, a native of Brazil, had a son with Leavitt’s older brother Michael.  Ferreira is being held in a South Louisiana detention center, according to WMUR-TV of Manchester, NH.  Will Karoline Leavitt talk turkey about the detention of her 11-year-old nephew’s mother? Does she support the detention?...Earlier this week, Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy announced a civility campaign urging air travelers to dress for success. It's already getting kudos from the right. NY Post columnist Kristen Fleming agrees with the always camera-ready Duffy, giving him high marks for addressing a “festering and ever-deteriorating situation in this country – how we’re dressing in airports.” Sheesh.  Why isn’t Duffy using the bully pulpit to lobby for more travel safety measures, improving infrastructure and efficiency on land and in the sky. It’s not the government's job to tell us what to wear....Thanksgiving Weekend Watch: The obvious choice is Netflix’s Stranger Things.  It’s the final season of the iconic hit series and more than three years since a new episode has dropped. That’s asking a lot of the audience to remember all the complicated plot points of the previous four seasons. Nonetheless, I’m all in.....TheRighting is taking a Turkey Day break. I'll be back Monday. Happy Thanksgiving!....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Blue Cities Reject Law, Reject Order — and Reject America

Trump could send the National Guard to Portland and Chicago, but why rescue places that proudly embrace anti-police ideology and sneer at the very civilization that keeps them alive?

Trump’s Memphis Crackdown Results in Violent Crime Plummeting Nearly 50%

In a stunning America First victory that the corporate media is already downplaying, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Monday that violent crime in Memphis has collapsed since President Donald Trump ordered a federal surge into the city just two months ago — and the results are nothing short of historic.

Apple News Pushes Left-Wing Agenda for Second Week in a Row

source: NewsBusters

Apple News failed to highlight a single right-leaning source for the second week in a row, pushing stories from 82 left-leaning new sites while completely hiding stories from outlets many Americans prefer. These cherry-picked articles consistently reflect a leftist bias, suggesting that Apple News is using its power to push a political agenda.

Laura Loomer Literally Needs a Disclaimer

source: Victory Girls

Influence magazine thought it scored a scoop when it landed Laura Loomer for an interview. What it really scored was a liability risk. The editors slapped a disclaimer at the top warning readers that the claims inside had not been fact-checked or independently verified. That is the kind of sentence you normally see before a Bigfoot documentary or a late-night infomercial.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The Wall Street Journal’s reliably conservative editorial board mocks Donald Trump’s vendetta buffoonery in seeking indictments against FBI director James Comey and NY Attorney General Letitia James.  The headline frames it perfectly: The Gang That Couldn’t Indict Straight. And the op-ed’s lede delivers a punch in the administration's gut: “President Trump’s lawfare revenge tour has gone bust”...Sure to trigger the right: Justine Lindsay, the NFL’s first transgender cheerleader, claims she was fired from the Carolina Panthers for her sexual orientation. Lindsay says she’s working on a documentary about her professional pom pom life that will most likely never be available on Fox Nation. (Breitbart)...The Daily Caller has a “masculinity consultant” called Mr. Right. (It’s actually two editorial staffers writing as the consultant.) Here’s Mr. Right’s free newsletter...Speaking of the Daily Caller, it's aggressively promoting a Charlie Kirk documentary featuring folks who knew him “as the man behind the movement.”  Charlie Kirk: American Martyr is executive-produced by Neil Patel (no relation to embattled FBI director Kash Patel), the co-founder of The Daily Caller and Tucker Carlson's college roommate...Transportation Secretary and Trump administration cast member Sean Duffy thinks air travelers should dress up for trips and bring civility back to flying. The Gateway Pundit has the dress-for-success details....WND reminds readers that Ghislaine Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding in upstate New  York...POTUS, call the Truth Social tech department.  The site isn’t loading this morning. I keep getting a “Something isn’t right” message. Maybe it’s a reference to The Donald’s mental state...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Netflix May Become the “Obama News Network” If Warner Bros. Discovery Acquisition Allowed

source: Loomered

With a power vacuum in the Democrat party, the Obamas are rebuilding an influence machine through their deep ties with Netflix, the world’s dominant streaming platform. Their power will only grow if the Trump administration allows Netflix to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, owner of CNN, HBO Max, and more.

Obama’s 2028 Election Plot

Obama’s not plotting a comeback for himself – he’s plotting one for the party. And if the quiet kingmaker routine works, don’t be surprised when 2026 starts looking less like an election year and more like an Obama-approved anti-American casting call

Ken Burns Is Off to a Hard-Left Start with His “American Revolution” Series

source: American Thinker

In the first five minutes of the PBS show, Burns overthrows centuries of British rights to elevate Native Americans...without a scintilla of facts to justify doing so.

Ken Burns Makes a Woke Mockery of America’s Founding

source: NY Post

Burns implies that the Iroquois Confederacy, a union of six Indian tribes or nations in New York State, crucially influenced the founding of the U.S. This is a nice fairy tale, but has no connection to reality.

Media Terrified Trump Will Bring Back “Male-Driven Movies with Tough, Courageous, Confident Heroes”

source: FrontPage

We can’t possibly lose our current action movie landscape in which painfully diverse casts including 5’2 girl bosses defeat entire armies while delivering quips originating from a now MeToo’d writer who wrote them for a teenage girl show. They’re so popular that movie theaters are standing empty.

The Dems’ Reckless Call for Military Disobedience

source: Washington Examiner

Elected Democrats have every right, indeed, they have a duty, to conduct oversight over the president’s use of the military to defend the nation. But what they may not do is encourage service members to disobey orders they don’t like, and that is what six Dem politicians did last week. It was a disgraceful and foolish thing to do.

Just Imagine What We Could Do If the Democrats Weren’t Evil

We have a lot of problems in this country, as we always have. But, just for a minute, picture if we had a political class interested in addressing those problems in a way that benefited as many Americans as chose to avail themselves of the opportunity to improve their lot in life?
