TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! President Trump’s 45-minute memorial tribute to Charlie Kirk has been posted in its entirety on YouTube... Erika Kirk’s heart-felt speech in which she forgave the man accused of murdering her husband is also posted. Key phrase from her eulogy: “The answer to hate is not to hate”...Liberty Paige of SteveGruber.com has written a piece of satire in which she imagines a heavenly purge of prominent progressives getting the axe.  Her targets include Jimmy Kimmel, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow...Disgraced ultra-right commentator Candace Owens suggested on her “Candace”  podcast  that “Jewish people or the Jewish state of Israel were somehow involved in Kirk's assassination.” Hot Air has the convoluted details...Dept. of Sticks & Stones: Trump called Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) “scum” in a Truth Social post about Somalia. “What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it,” the potty-mouth president wrote, referencing the Somalia-born lawmaker....Dept. of Surprises: American Thinker opines that Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi lacks the bonafides for her position because she doesn't understand the meaning of free speech.  Thinker writer Bill Ponton  links to an article on NBC News to bolster his argument...Not my bedside table: Joe Manchin’s just published memoir Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense.  Never been a fan of the ex- Democratic Senator from West Virginia.  Manchin was on HBO's “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday, shamelessly hawking his book...In observance of Rosh Hashanah, TheRighting will not publish tomorrow.  Back at it Wednesday...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Transgender Violence Is a National Emergency

Evidence has been piling up in recent years about the propensity for people who claim to be “transgender,” or those acting on their behalf, to commit the most gruesome acts of political violence.

Anyone Remember When the Left Preached Nonviolence?

source: Unleash Prosperity

There are maniacs of all political persuasions, but the radicalization of the left over the past decade or so has no counterpart on the right. Consider the latest YouGov survey, which found that over 30% of “very liberal” respondents now openly support violence to achieve political goals

Trump Must Bring Antifa to Heel Before More Violence Ensues

source: Human Events

Trump is right: they are not patriots, but enablers of anarchy—puppeteers cloaked in the guise of NGOs, profiting from the greed-fueled havoc they ignite. The reckoning begins now

H1B: Trump Does a Solid for American Workers

source: Victory Girls

The exploitation of H1B visas by multinational corporations just took a hit as President Trump adds a $100,000 fee for each visa application. Cue the handwringing … but not for American workers

Jimmy Kimmel Is on the Fast Train to Keith Olbermann-Style Oblivion

Late-night host reportedly turned down bosses' request to apologize for on-air comments about Charlie Kirk case

The Loneliness of the Conservative Screenwriter

source: American Spectator

By Lou Aguilar: My script is "Operation Cowboy: The Assassination of John Wayne," based on the true story of a 1950 Soviet plot to murder Wayne because of his success flushing out Hollywood communists. And what depressed me is not that the producer disliked it, but rather that he loved it yet can’t move forward with it.

What If Kamala Picked the (Openly) Gay Guy?

source: Washington Free Beacon

Some might argue picking Walz was an even bigger risk given he was such a weirdo. His theatrics on the campaign trail caused many voters to regard his alleged heterosexuality as inauthentic.

Comrade Hochul of NY Has Endorsed Zohran Mamdani

The worst governor in America just bent the knee to the radical left.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Yesterday, late-night hosts rushed to the defense of ABC’s sidelined gabfest star Jimmy Kimmel.  I haven’t watched everything but Jon Stewart’s opening monologue last night on a special Thursday night edition was particularly brilliant and it’s available on YouTube. The NY Post has a good recap of Stewart’s bit as well...Dept. of Surprises: Ben Shapiro, one of the right’s most influential thinkers, argues that while he’s happy that Kimmel is gone for now, he cautions on what he calls overreach.  “The FCC should not be threatening action against ABC or its affiliates or Disney based on Jimmy Kimmel being a jackass,” he wrote in today’s Daily Wire...The shocking murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk on September 10 triggered a massive traffic spike to the 45 mostly right-wing news websites TheRighting monitors.  According to my exclusive analysis of Similarweb data, the tragic event resulted in the largest surge in visits to those websites since the 2024 election of Donald Trump.  For instance, CNN’s visits skyrocketed from 11 million on September 9 to 31 million on September 10. Fox News more than doubled its visits from 7.5 million on September 9 to 16.2 million the day of the shooting. NBC News soared from 2.6 million on September 9 to 16.3 million on September 10...Weekend Watch:  If anyone needs a refresher course in how media companies used to stand up to the federal government, I recommend Steve Spielberg’s 2017 movie The Post, which delves into how the Washington Post defied the Nixon administration at considerable risk to its future, by publishing the Pentagon Papers. The other (obvious) choice is the classic Watergate drama All the President’s Men.  Both are available for rent on Amazon Prime...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Market Fired Jimmy Kimmel

ABC simply buried what ratings and audiences already abandoned.

Good Riddance

Kimmel’s ouster isn’t about free speech, it’s about the free market.

“Fire This Man, For Once and For All”

Media Research Council President David Bozell urged ABC to end its relationship with Jimmy Kimmel in an interview Thursday on the NewsBusters Podcast.

We Are Not Jimmy!

source: Townhall

The real obscenity is the attempt to assign martyrdom status to Jimmy Kimmel. It’s revolting. Kimmel is a multimillionaire who will still go home every night to kiss his kids, live in his mansion, and enjoy the luxuries afforded by elite circles. His career setback is self-inflicted. He killed his own job.

Jimmy Kimmel Has Only Himself to Blame for Losing His Show

source: NY Post

Make no mistake here: Jimmy Kimmel doomed himself with his lunatic lecture Monday night, the latest in a long string of partisan rants rarely even pretended to try for humor.

Late-Night Hack Kimmel Has Only Himself to Blame

source: The Federalist

Jimmy Kimmel is not a free speech victim. He’s a leftist joke who said something really stupid and is now paying a professional price.

Late-Night TV Is Truly Dead

source: NY Post

And you can blame egotistical, politically obsessed Kimmel and Colbert.

Chris Cuomo Schools the Left on Kimmel’s Suspension

source: PJ Media

Chris Cuomo just dropped a dose of inconvenient truth about Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, and it’s not what the left wants to hear. Instead of feeding the narrative that this was some grand assault on free speech, Cuomo cut through the noise—and his blunt take won’t sit well with leftists desperate to turn Kimmel into a martyr.

Jimmy Fallon Pulls Off the Impossible in First Post-Kimmel Show

source: Outkick

While Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert lectured America on the First Amendment, NBC's Jimmy Fallon managed to do the impossible last night in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's benching. He … made people laugh. That's right. A late night TV host actually made people laugh without virtue-signaling
