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

The Trump administration can’t allow its deportation policies to be dictated by the outrage of the left and the propaganda press.

The Degenerate Socialists of America

Don’t fall for the semantics sleight of hand. Democratic socialism, like all forms of Marxism, is tyrannical because it puts the state above all else

DSA Shows True Colors with Platform Announcement

source: Conservative View from NH

These people need to be stopped. We have had many threats to our country: World Wars, Pandemics, BLM, the Democrat Party, Global Warming, and in some eyes, AI. None are existential, but DSA is.

Ro Khanna Is Trying to Create Hype for Himself and Keeps Failing

source: Victory Girls

Khanna had planned on making a huge splash with a contrived story about being held against his will in Israel, and therefore would have a great tale of woe in order to push his profile into the national eye. But then Senator Graham died, and the air went out of Khanna’s story. By the time he got any attention, his story of an armed standoff with Israeli “settlers” had fallen apart.

At least he hasn’t raped anyone.

Blame Immigration Chaos on Biden and Harris, Not Trump

source: NY Post

Sebastian Guerrero’s death is a tragedy. However, the last people who should be condemning anyone are Democrats, especially the useless former “border czar” Kamala Harris. She and Joe Biden ushered in millions of illegal immigrants and left the country to pick up the pieces when they were gone.

New Numbers Reveal That Child Sex-Change Mania Is Worse Than We Knew

In a single year, one children’s hospital now admits it gave puberty blockers to twice as many kids as we documented in total over five years — hurting far more kids than ever thought possible.

It’s No Longer Woke to Be Woke

In a turnaround that surprised Wall Street, woke funds are no longer trendy. The savvy investors are staying away.

Inside the Mind of a NY Times Editor

source: Ann Coulter

Regular New York Times readers have long suspected that the paper’s oppressive bias comes not from actual reporters, but from doctrinaire editors, who assign the pieces, then insert those ridiculous 2d or 3d paragraphs that interrupt the flow of the piece, but hammer home the party line.

Greetings! Charlie Kirk news: If Italian artist Sergio Furnari has his way, his sculpture of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk will be unveiled in Times Square on September 10. That would be exactly a year after he was gunned down in Utah. Here’s a video of the sculpture. (Fox News)...It’s déjà vu all over again: Trump will deliver a prime time speech tonight and it’s expected that he will focus on – wait for it – 2020 election fraud, according to ABC News and other outlets. Sheesh! The Portly POTUS is obsessed. I also think he’s just preparing the country for more claims of election tinkering by Democrats after the midterm elections when Republicans are expected to fare poorly...Joe Biden’s new political memoir just went on sale for pre-publication orders. Promise Me, America drops November 17 and it focuses on his four years as president. I’m glad it’s not being published before the midterms because Democrats don’t need to revisit Biden’s awful debate performance on June 27, 2024, and the weeks leading up to his decision to withdraw from the race. Lousy title, BTW Joe...The balls on this guy! SecDef Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth announced in a post on X yesterday that the U.S. military will require service members 30 and older to undergo annual screenings to measure their testosterone levels. Testosterone replacement therapy would be available to men described by Hegseth as “war fighters” who wanted it. (NBC News). Worth noting: Trump administration cast members like Hegseth are really hung up on their masculinity...The Washington Free Beacon published a list of the “trust-fund socialists transforming the Democratic party.” They include: Zohran Mamdani, Morris Katz, Graham Platner, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix, the anti-elite granddaughter of oil billionaire H.L. Hunt who has a Maltipoo named after Malcolm X... Seriously? The American Conservative urges the Trump to pull U.S. troops from Europe...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Leftist Women Are an Abomination

source: Townhall

By Kurt Schlichter: These self-righteous crones are a pestilence, a plague upon Western society, a group of doggedly ignorant feminist/chauvinists playing out their personal psychodramas on the world stage whose antics, if unchecked, will inevitably lead to the fall of civilization.

Maybe Shut Up, Elissa

source: American Spectator

Elissa Slotkin, the junior senator from Michigan who seems to lead the league in making statements that indicate she isn’t as smart as she thinks she is, actually said that if the SAVE America Act is passed, which would clean voter rolls and prevent foreigners from voting, it would “rig” America’s elections such that Democrats wouldn’t be able to win anywhere in the country.

The Dems’ Attempt to Become the Party of Manly Men Proves They’re Getting Dumb and Dumber

source: NY Post

We knew Democrats were trying to rebrand as the party of “Manly Men” but they’ve really taken this new masculinity jag off a cliff. Morris Katz, who plucked accused rapist Graham Platner out of obscurity only to see him flame out in the Maine Senate race, reportedly wanted his bearded protégé to be the Dems’ 2028 nominee — mainly because he is a man

The Speech NYC Mayor Mamdani Should Have Made

source: American Greatness

Mamdani delivered a speech on July 3 to the entire nation that has earned justifiable criticism. Here's what he should have said: “Good morning, my fellow Americans. Happy Fourth of July, Happy Independence Day, and happy 250th birthday to the United States of America. I am thrilled to be the mayor of New York City, and I am thrilled and proud to be an American."
