Greetings! On Saturday, Spanish goalkeeper and political progressive Borja Iglesias told Spanish media he feared going to prison if he didn’t shake the president’s hand assuming he came to congratulate the team. I haven’t read any news outlet stories if Iglesias shook Trump’s hand after Spain won the game, but ChatGBT says he did. (Breitbart)...Worth noting: Trump has expressed harsh criticism of Spain recently primarily because he feels the country should contribute more to NATO. (CNBC)...Of course he did! After the game, during the post-match ceremony, Trump slithered onto the stage to try to grab the spotlight as Spain’s players lifted the trophy. But the images did the Portly POTUS no favors as he came across as a stooped and lumbering octogenarian often standing aimlessly on the stage with a scowl on his sagging mug. (Yahoo Sports)...Trump is really grasping at straws to justify his flailing war with Iran. Yesterday, in a Truth Social post, he linked to a June 16 (!) op-ed in the Washington Times praising the “grand strategy behind the Trump-Vance Iran deal.” The article was scanned from a hard copy, probably because it was behind a paywall and Trump wanted readers to access it easily. Pathetic...Attention DOGE: So Trump’s new presidential aircraft, a gift from Qatar, will be sidelined for a few months as it gets outfitted with defensive capabilities, according to NBC News. All, I would assume, at taxpayer expense. But in less than three years, the plane is intended to be parked at the Trump Presidential Library foundation. Seems like an obvious case of government waste and inefficiency...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Why Corporate America Is Abandoning Legacy Media

source: Townhall

The announced separation of Comcast's cable news assets, including MSNBC and CNBC, should be viewed as more than another corporate restructuring. It is the latest step in a broader trend of major corporations distancing themselves from politically charged news businesses that once sat at the center of their media portfolios.

Hollywoke’s Assault on Beauty

From ‘The Odyssey’ to ‘Little House,’ Hollywood increasingly treats beauty, romance, and the male gaze as cultural enemies.

We Are Living Through an Era of Cultural Destruction

Turning beloved stories woke or repurposing destroyed monuments is the beginning of a process that ends with real violence.

Mamdani Thinks He Is the Feudal Commie Lord of NYC

As more time passes, it is becoming clear that Zohran Mamdani does not just see himself as mayor of NYC, or even as just a kingmaker with the ability to control the direction of the Democrat party. He sees himself as an international figure, one worthy of being set up as a contrasting rival to the president himself.

AOC Is Running in 2028

source: FrontPage

Could AOC be the Dem nominee in 2028? Probably not, but don’t rule it out. The field currently consists of major talents like Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose only skill is standing for nothing, Kamala Harris and her fit of giggles and word salads, and Buttgieg, who is running as the white short gay bearded Obama.

Kamala May Run in 2028, but She Cannot Run Away from Tim Walz

source: Conservative View from NH

Tim Walz probably wishes he had never been thrust into the national spotlight. He was content flying under the radar as he, along with help from AG Ellison and Mayor Frey, went about their mission to destroy a once-proud state, but sucking as much fraud money as they could before being detected.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s Radical Gender Documentaries Force Students to Reveal If They’re Gay

source: Washington Free Beacon

Documentaries produced by California's "first partner," Jennifer Siebel Newsom, promoting fringe views on gender have been shown to over 2.5 million K-12 students, with an accompanying lesson plan that forces teens to publicly disclose their sexual orientation to their peers and identify which of their classmates violate gender norms and may be labeled "fags," "pussies" and "nasty butches."

Dems Rejected Trump’s Speech Before Hearing a Single Word

source: SteveGruber.com

Before Trump uttered his first sentence Thursday night about his bombshells concerning the 2020 election, most of the Trump-hating media had already written the script. The election deniers on the left had already written off his claims as long-debunked “conspiracy theories.”

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Dark. That’s how I’d describe Trump’s 25-minute prime time speech last night as he spewed toxic charges challenging the integrity of the nation’s elections. My take: it’s all designed to provide Trump and his allies with an excuse to call into question the results of the midterm elections, in which Democrats are expected to perform well. And when that happens, troops could be called in and Democracy will hang by a thread. Worth noting: CNN posted an annotated transcript of his speech. Students of autocracy will study it for decades....Song of the day: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Here in NYC as well as parts of the Northeast and Midwest, hazardous smoke from Canadian wildfires are fouling the air. PJ Media nailed the situation perfectly with this headline: Canada: “Mind If I Smoke?”....Uh oh. Trillionaire Elon Musk is angry. He slammed Netflix’s supposed “woke” description of the 1939 civil war epic “Gone with the Wind.” (Hollywood in Toto)...Weekend Watches (retro edition): I stumbled across the 2017 Netflix documentary Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins and it’s a winner. The documentary charts the rollicking professional life of Texas political journalist, raconteur and humorist Molly Ivins who died in 2007 at the age of 62. Her putdowns of George W. Bush will trigger belly laughs. She professed great faith in the wisdom of the voting public and I wonder if she would still hold that belief in the age of Trump. Also worth watching: If you can’t get into director Chris Nolan’s blockbuster epic The Odyssey, which opened today to rave reviews, I recommend Nolan’s 2006 hit The Prestige, about two feuding magicians in Victorian England. Starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, it’s available on Hulu...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Summer after summer is being marred by noxious fumes descending from Canada. Our snooty, supposedly climate-conscious neighbor up north can’t handle its business.

Trump’s Speech Sends Beijing, and China Watchers, into a Frenzy

Among longtime China observers, Trump’s accusations immediately prompted questions about whether the administration’s broader China strategy can withstand the allegations

ABC, NBC and CNN Black Out Trump’s Election Fraud Speech

source: PJ Media

Trump's speech about how China and other bad actors compromised American elections in 2020 and 2024 might be the biggest speech this side of "a day which will live in infamy." Unlike the respect accorded to FDR, however, the news media at NBC, ABC, and CNN decided in advance that Trump could not be trusted to tell the truth about the Titanic hitting America's election iceberg.

Is Hollywood Losing Its Itch to Please LGBTQ Lobbyists?

By Tim Graham: Is it possible that the Republican war on so-called DEI is having an effect on the movies? The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is expressing alarm at the decline of LGBTQ characters at the movies – it’s at 20.4 percent of 2025 films in their latest tally, down from 28.5 percent in 2022.
