Dems Fight Over Whether They Wrecked the Country Enough

If you’re keeping track of the media, Republicans shutting down the government are evil and those voting to reopen the government are moderates, while Democrats shutting down the government are principled warriors while those voting to reopen it are sellouts.

Shutdown Was Always Going to End with Ridiculous Dems Caving

source: The Federalist

Barring some unnecessary Republican crash-out — always a high possibility! — this partial federal government “shutdown” was destined to end with Democrat leaders finally leveling with their own angry voters to say, Yeah, we got nothing, and I don’t have any good answers for you right now.

A Welcome End to a Pointless Shutdown

Eight centrist Senate Democrats took the brave step of crossing their party’s rabid base to cut a deal with Senate Republicans and end the federal government shutdown Sunday night. If all goes smoothly, the House could vote on the new continuing resolution on Wednesday, and Washington could be open again by Thursday.

There’s been a lot of conversation about Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes lately, but everyone should spare a thought for Candace Owens. On her eponymous podcast, Candace, the crackpot influencer has been conducting an “investigation” into what happened to Charlie Kirk.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Stormy Monday: Remember Stormy Daniels, the porn star who said she had an affair with Donald Trump before he was president? Outkick says she’s in Chicago promoting a comedy act with a new look (includes a video interview)...Elon gets a raise.  Lost in last week’s noise about a socialist politician becoming the mayor of New York City, was the news about a very hefty potential payday for the world’s richest man.  The board of Tesla voted to give founder Elon Musk a raise, likely allowing the brilliant but erratic entrepreneur to achieve a trillion-dollar salary if he hits certain targets. (So much for the standard 3% cost-of-living increase.) The Wall Street Journal has the details...Sounds about right: Ray Cardello, the feisty publisher of Conservative View from NH predicts that in three years, Trump’s “ big beautiful ballroom will be filled to the rafters for the Trump farewell dinner.” I’m just glad that Cardello believes The Donald will vacate the office....CNN anchor Abby Phillip just published A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power. The book examines the prominent Black civil rights leader’s galvanizing presidential runs in 1984 and 1988... On the road: I’m traveling the next few days so it’s doubtful I’ll be able to publish a newsletter until later in the week. Stay safe out there and see you soon....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
