TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Dept. of Surprises: The conservative Not the Bee casts a skeptical eye at Sen. Mitch “MIA” McConnell’s shaky return to Congress this week in a transport chair and suggests it might be a case of elder abuse.  “If someone is struggling to perform the responsibilities of an enormously demanding public office, the compassionate response isn't to figure out how to keep him in the chair and manage around his limitations,” argued the Bee’s Peter Heck. “It's to ask what is actually best for him, and whether continuing in that position is best for the country too”...Fox News calls Sophie Cunningham, the Indiana Fever’s guard, the WNBA’s most sane player.  And she’s applauded by Fox for supporting Sydney Sweeney’s saucy near-naked gambling ad which has been criticized for sexualizing women....Weekend watch: Since it’s the second week of the professional football season, I’m recommending the 78-minute Netflix documentary Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young.  The program tells the all-too-familiar story of a phenomenal college athlete – in this case, University of Texas QB Vince Young – who went pro in the aughts with some early success only to quickly flame out after drowning in too much booze and adulation. It’s an emotional, compelling story that will grip any football fan. Weekend Whiff: The Daily Wire’s latest feature film, Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels is an uneven piece of political propaganda masquerading as an action film. It’s about Muslim terrorists who invade a woke college campus and take hostages.  Here’s what I wrote about it for MS NOW.  Available on the Wire’s streaming platform. Worth noting: the  American Spectator called it “a fun action movie”....In observance of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, there won’t be a newsletter Monday. Back on Tuesday...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting (and fasting). Howard

Any attempt to silence the movie or reduce its reach won’t be viewed as a free speech violation by the same people screaming about Macklemore’s cancellation.

Sydney Sweeney Has Everyone Remembering What a Woman Is

All it took was Sydney Sweeney taking off most of her clothes for a Novig ad, and suddenly female athletes and their defenders were everywhere reminding us, quite emphatically, “this is what women in sports look like.” Women. In sports. Actual women. Glad we got that cleared up.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Don Jr. for President? The National Review wonders why Trump’s son keeps getting mentioned as a possible candidate.  Good question!....Dept. of No Surprises: The right-leaning Hollywood in Toto gives The Daily Wire’s latest feature film, Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels, a semi-rave review. The 129-minute movie, set at a woke university invaded by a group of Muslim terrorists who take students hostage, is described by writer Christian Toto as an action vehicle that “hammers the woke Left and radical Islam”....Prolific conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson has the No. 1 nonfiction book on the NY Times bestseller list.   The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement was published September 8.  (The Daily Signal)...The Daily Caller slams the idea of politicians (looking at you Donald J. Trump) buying votes.  “If $5,000 can be dangled in front of voters, why not $10,000?” asks opinion editor Adriel Gonzalez. “If one group can be offered a benefit in exchange for its political support, why shouldn’t every other group demand one as well? An election should not become an auction in which politicians compete to see who can offer the most attractive payout.” Agree!  Worth noting: Blaze Media also criticizes Trump’s absurd proposal to give all U.S. adult citizens $5,000 if the GOP takes the House and Senate in the midterms. “Trump’s election-year promise exposes the incentives driving both parties toward larger deficits, higher prices and permanent fiscal irresponsibility,” writes columnist Auron MacIntyre. Also agree!...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
