Greetings! Trump’s life is in danger because of drugs being prescribed by the White House physician.  So says HHS cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra in a recent Infowars podcast...Former Senator Roy Danforth (R-MO) has written an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal urging Republicans to “ditch MAGA and return to basics.”  “Those of us who call ourselves Republicans have a choice to make,” he wrote with co-author Rina Shah. “We can choose to stand for our historic principles, or we can continue on the road to angry populism. By making the first choice, we can restore the center”... Kai Trump, The Donald’s 18-year-old granddaughter, has launched a new video series called “”1 on 1 with Kai.” The first 60-minute episode features her golfing with gramps.  So far, it’s generated almost three million views. My guess is she’s being groomed to become the next generation in a Trump political dynasty... In a pointed opinion piece today, the Washington Examiner drops a giant truth bomb on War Secretary Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth by describing his attempts to muzzle the press as “undermining the First Amendment.” Worth noting: The Washington Examiner did not sign a document pledging not use content cleared first by the Pentagon. Yesterday, Fox News also said it would not sign...Political activism is alive and well in the red state of Indiana.  Subscriber Linda Bailey Zimmerman sent TheRighting images of weekly protests against Trump administration policies in three cities in Hamilton County, Indiana. You can see the images here. And thanks Linda!...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Welcome to the early bird edition of TheRighting. I’ve got a fishing boat to catch at 8 a.m. today so I'm up extra early. Wish me luck!...He’s got a point: Trump is moaning justifiably about the awful Time magazine cover image of him.  The unflattering angle was shot from below his face directly at his jowly neck.  Because of the angle and lighting, his hairline looks pathetically anemic. The cover feels like a deliberate attempt to portray Trump in the worst possible way. However, Trump’s public complaints only help to drive more eyeballs to the uncomplimentary picture. American Thinker created a much more positive image of Trump – generated with an AI tool – featuring him standing in front of a pyramid with nary a golden hair of his thinning thatch out of place... Book critic-in-chief: President Trump is urging his followers on Truth Social to buy Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s new book I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles. “She is an inspiration to all,” he gushed. “Buy your copy today.” Not only did Trump provide the cover blurb, Don Jr. wrote the foreword. The book was published in June.  It’s curious why he’s pushing it now...The gerontocracy rolls on.  Maine’s Democratic Governor Janet Mill has thrown her cane – excuse me, I mean hat – into the race to displace the state’s GOP stalwart Senator Susan Collins.  Mills turns 78 December 30. I’m all for vigorously challenging Collins so that Democrats can try to reclaim the majority in the Senate, but the optics of this seem all wrong. Political novice, 41-year-old oyster farmer Graham Platner, seems a more exciting choice for the Dems...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
