Greetings! Inked: Outgoing Republican South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace is leaving office on a colorful note when she steps aside in January. The Gateway Pundit reveals that she’s now appearing on camera in sleeveless tops displaying multiple vibrant tattoos on both arms. It’s all part of a head-spinning rebrand for the 48-year-old right-wing, controversy-courting politician. She just launched a YouTube show called “Get Maced.” (Personally, I like “Mace in Your Face” better.) The tattoos and slinky tops are a clever way of attracting attention to her new venture supposedly available on her official Congresswoman Mace YouTube channel (although I couldn’t find it)...It’s about time: It just dawned on the National Review that vaccine-skeptic RFK Jr. might have some role in the highest number of measles cases in more than three decades....The weeklong Townhall Gulf of Americas cruise sets sail November 21 from Fort Lauderdale with stops in the Bahamas, Jamaica and Cozumel. The featured conservative speakers are not quite an A-list of MAGA world and include CNN’s Scott Jennings, right-wing Los Angeles radio host Jennifer Horn, and Townhall’s  top editor Larry O’Connor. Cabins start at $1,848. I think it would be a hoot if a lefty outlet like The Nation dispatched a writer to cruise with those fun-loving conservatives and file a report...This Fox News op-ed will probably be my favorite right-wing story of the week.  Here’s the on-the-nose headline and subhead: “America needs to stop turning every purchase into an uncomfortable tip request. Businesses are using behavioral marketing to pressure customers instead of honestly raising prices.” That's a bipartisan message everyone can embrace. Thanks Fox!...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Tucker Carlson is playing a dangerous game flirting obliquely with running for president as a third-party candidate. So says influential conservative pundit Victor Davis Hanson in a recent YouTube video (see transcript).  Hanson points out that no third-party candidate has ever won a U.S. presidential election.  In fact, notes Hanson, “They do affect the election in some cases, but that’s only to hurt the party that is more ideologically akin to the third-party run"....Usha Vance, JD Vance's wife, gets the full profile treatment in the current issue of Vanity Fair. The Victory Girls blog calls the article “petty”...If you’ve been following the flap about men playing in the WNBA, you’ll appreciate this clever headline from The Federalist: The Balls Are in the WNBA’s Court....Somehow I missed ABC's broadcast last night of the 2026 Patriot Games, hosted by Donald J. Trump. It featured high school athletes competing in a variety of challenges testing their strength and endurance capabilities. The competition spotlighted in the one-hour prime time special took place earlier this month. The irony of the doughy-looking, overweight, 80-year-old president presiding over a TV program celebrating fitness does not escape me. And I think he’s got better things to do with his time like figure out an exit for his war with Iran...Weekend Watch: This is an easy choice.  Now is the perfect time to revisit the great 1997 action-thriller Air Force One. It stars Harrison Ford as the brave POTUS who finds himself (and family) aboard his trusty 747 which gets hijacked by Russian bad guys.  Ford fights back heroically.  Trump and Hegseth should take notes. Available for rent on Amazon Prime and well worth the $3.99....I’ll keep Righting. Howard
