TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Naked, nude and angry: Plans are underway in Oregon for a naked bike ride through the streets of Portland featuring angry cyclists protesting the Trump administration’s planned deployment of the National Guard in liberal city.  Nude bike riding in Portland has been used as a protest tool previously but primarily against forms of transportation that consume fossil fuels. No date has been set, but there will be no shortage of photographers to document the made-for-social-media event. (MyNorthwest.com)...Democrats to keep an eye on: James Talarico, a 36-year-old Texas Democrat running for Senate. Michelle Goldberg of the NY Times suggests that he may be the savior his party has been waiting for because he’s young, talented and openly religious.  Also worth watching, per my scouts in the Bay State: Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) who is a  Harvard grad, Fox News contributor, progressive on many issues and author of a popular Substack (49,000 subscribers) Simple But Not Easy...Sec. of War Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth just got slammed by NY longtime columnist Cindy Adams.  She advises the bumbling macho man to show more respect to women serving in the military.  She called the former Fox News weekend anchor a “Douglas MacArthur-lite TV talker.”...I’ve just posted my analysis of the links in September from the White House Wire, the Drudge-Report-like mini-aggregation newsletter featuring good news about the Trump administration. Breitbart received more than a dozen links which shows it’s an important part of the White House news diet.  That’s a scary thought. But Fox News and the NY Post generated more links than any other news outlets as I’ve reported in previous months.  One surprise: Newsmax only got one link....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Why Calling Charlie Kirk a Martyr Matters

Charlie Kirk’s murder was not simply the death of a man, but a spiritual assault in a spiritual war between Good and Evil.

No, Charlie Kirk’s Murder Is Nothing Like the Death of the Left’s Favorite Fentanyl Addict

source: Daily Caller

It won’t be shocking that reading The Atlantic’s op-ed attempting to draw a parallel between the cultural and political responses to the 2020 death of George Floyd and the 2025 murder of Charlie Kirk sparked a wave of opposition from the right. And for good reason.

Another College President Has Plagiarized Her Dissertation

source: Daily Wire

A college president who is also the former chair of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities plagiarized extensively in her doctoral dissertation, a Daily Wire review found. Heidi M. Anderson is president of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. For nearly four decades, she has climbed the academic ladder while producing an unremarkable amount of low-quality research.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert Spreads Even More Fake News

source: Hollywood in Toto

He attempted to call Vice President J.D. Vance a liar on last Thursday’s telecast. Why? Vance insists Democrats want illegal immigrants to get health care coverage.

Length of Shutdown May Hinge on Definition of American

source: Conservative View from NH

On the one hand, you have Republicans claiming to be looking out for the best interests of all Americans, with Americans meaning American citizens. On the other side, you have Democrats claiming that Republicans are ripping healthcare access from millions of Americans. The Democrats are using the term Americans to mean all illegal aliens who entered the country seeking asylum.

Alvin Bragg Represents Everything Wrong with Democratic “Prosecutors”

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg may just be the worst “prosecutor” in the country. Everything about Bragg and his worldview exemplifies what’s wrong with Democratic “prosecutors” and the criminal justice reform movement they represent.

"The West” has found that its blind followership has led to decline and decay. And the U.S. has elected a president that has pulled the plug on its post-WWII imperium.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Something is very wrong: Two media outlets on the left and the right flagged mental health issues for officials at the very top of the Trump administration.  The Atlantic nailed it succinctly with this headline that had me cheering: “The Commander in Chief Is Not OK.”  MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell would definitely agree as you can see in this clip from last night's show. And the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan sounded the alarm about SecDef Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth in a devastating column that ends with this punch to his gut, “Something is wrong with this guy.” Gotta love the headline too: “The Embarrassing Mr. Hegseth.” Worth noting: American Spectator thinks it’s the Democrats who are unwell, not Trump...Speaking of Hegseth, The Dispatch, which leans right, justifiably smacks the SecDef with this article: Dress Codes or Codes of Honor?  Writer Kevin Williamson accuses him of pogonophobia (fear of beards) and points out that Hegseth has “’Beverly Hills, 90210’-style sideburns (that) often extend to a length that would be prohibited under military grooming standards’”...Trump dropped another vile “Sombrero” video last night.  The 85-second Truth Social clip featured a sombrero-wearing actor speaking with a Trump-sounding voice and in Spanglish, as he rants about the “Schumer shutdown” and the “Schumer siesta.” It’s an ugly and racist depiction of a Mexican or Central  American....Right-wing media outlets are starting to rev their outrage engines because Harvard has hired a drag queen named LaWhore Vagistan to teach one course on queer ethnography and another on “RuPaulitics: Drag, Race and Desire” for the spring semester.  The NY Post’s Kirsten Fleming is not a fan. The Donald has yet to weigh in but the week ain’t over....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Yes, Leftists Can Be Deprogrammed

source: Townhall

By Michael Hout: To most people on the Left, conservatives are lost souls in need of deprogramming. They’ve convinced themselves that anyone who votes Republican must have been brainwashed. But if anyone has ever been deprogrammed, it’s me. I was once deep inside the Democratic Party — and I got out.

Netflix Loses $16 Billion in One Week Over Trans Kids Show

source: Outkick

By Zach Dean: If you don't want your kids watching some weird cartoon about a gay kid in a haunted house, then … just don't put it on. Every single TV on the planet nowadays is a Smart TV. Put a parental control on, and move along with your day. And I'm not condoning this dumb little cartoon, or Netflix for airing it.
