TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Flying “right”: Earlier this week, I flew Delta from snow-bound Syracuse to New York City. In announcing that our takeoff would be delayed over the PA system, the flight attendant blamed it on the “Democrat shutdown.” For a moment, I thought I was flying the Trump Shuttle, which went belly up in 1992...The Wall Street Journal editorial board has a dim view of Congress revisiting the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.  “Could there be a better example of Congressional dysfunction than that its first pressing business after the government reopens is the return of the Jeffrey Epstein follies?”the editors wrote.   “This is exactly what the American people weren’t waiting for.” I don’t know about the rest of the nation, but I for one support a deep dive into Epstein files....Meanwhile, WND claims  some of  the old  Epstein emails suggest that Hillary Clinton “was doing nasties with Vince.”  The Vince in question, according to WND, is  “presumably the suicided Vince Foster”....Numbskull-in-Chief: In a Truth Social post this morning, Trump touts a new book by the pro-wrestling personality George “Tyrus” Murdoch. In a previous post on the thread, he openly wondered if the performer and frequent Fox News guest was related to the media mogul Rupert Murdoch. He’s not, although presumably the president would have someone on his staff to fact-check his posts.  Worth noting: The Donald wrote the introduction to the wrestler’s What It Is, America. ...Weekend Watches: The six-part Ken Burns documentary The American Revolution bows Sunday night on PBS.  Reviews have been tepid, like this one from The Hollywood Reporter. I’m still betting on Burns to deliver an important documentary about the birth of our country. A more entertaining choice is definitely Apple+’s  nine-episode sci-fi series Pluribus. I’ve seen the first two episodes and I’m hooked. Lousy name, BTW...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

When you've lived through a laundry list of apocalypse warnings, you realize that existential threats really are hard to come by. With the way that the alarmists are so all over the place, the threats are also hard to prepare for. Do we need sunscreen or a parka?

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Yesterday’s headlines were dominated by the end of the 43-day government shutdown as well as new revelations about Trump’s relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which really caught my eye. I shed no tears for the unscrupulous president as the walls appear to be closing in on him. Nonetheless, I agree with Bret Stephens’ comments in today’s lead opinion piece in the NY Times which aligns with my opinion on the consequences for Trump.  He was quoted as saying, “The only way any of this sticks, politically, is smoking-gun, red-letter evidence that Trump had a sexual relationship with one of Epstein’s victims. Otherwise, it doesn’t do much but provide fodder for a few manic hours on MSNBC.” Worth noting: In his flaccid defense, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that the Dems are flogging the Epstein story again as a deflection for “how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown”...Speaking of The Donald, his childhood home in Jamaica Plains, Queens, is for sale (again).  It’s listed for $2.3 million, which includes a one-car detached garage...Dept. of No Insurrections: Newsmax CEO and Trump whisperer Chris Ruddy has penned an editorial for his publication thanking the president for his billion-dollar defamation lawsuit against the BBC.  “What's really at stake here isn't just one clip or one broadcaster. It's the broader media deception surrounding January 6,” Ruddy wrote. “From the moment the events unfolded, outlets like the BBC, CNN, and The Washington Post portrayed Trump as the instigator of an ‘insurrection.’ Yet the facts tell a different story.” Worth noting: CNN’s Brian Stelter appeared on PBS for seven minutes last night explaining the controversy and NewsBusters accused him of performing “damage control” on behalf of the BBC...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

The Left Is Pushing a False Epstein Smear Campaign

By Miranda Devine: The party that cries wolf is at it again. Democrats are back in Congress after their shutdown to launch another anti-Trump hoax. This time, it’s not a fictional “pee tape” but the old Epstein horse they keep flogging.

Why Trump’s Epstein Problem Won’t Go Away

In a few weeks Trump may find out the fate of the rest of his presidency.Next month, after the Thanksgiving recess, Congress is expected to vote to release the so-called Epstein files. If a bloc of Republicans joins forces with House Democrats to force the documents’ release, as is anticipated, it will be a moment of failure for Trump.

What the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released Wednesday in a breathless communique claiming they had Jeffrey Epstein dirt on Donald Trump is about as weak a sauce as one could imagine in a political setting.

Trump Reopens Government After 43 Days of Democrat Shutdown

“For the past 43 days, Democrats in Congress shut down the government of the United States in an attempt to extort American taxpayers for hundreds of billions of dollars for illegal aliens and people that came into our country illegally,” Trump said.

Another Government Shutdown, Another Pointless Waste of Time

Given the noise from the left, it is now obvious that a pretty significant chunk of the Democrats didn’t really have a plan, or even the intention, to end the government shutdown.

Pelosi, Schumer and Jeffries All Crashed in One Week

The events of the last few days are splitting the Democratic Party. They do not have a viable leader, they have no fresh ideas, and their Party was just embarrassed by Johnson and Thune. They got nothing from the Democrats, and they now have to answer to their constituents as to what the game plan was that went awry.

Women Won the Vote, But Is That Good or Bad?

Women will likely be running most positions that matter in a few short years. We'll become a society based on empathy over rationality, safety over risk, and cohesion over competition as “toxic” masculinity gets expunged in pursuit of a superficially kinder, gentler society that is based on leveling all “injustices.”

“60 Minutes” Acts as Handmaid to Feminist “Titan”

source: Daily Signal

The self-appointed enforcers of “progressive” media indoctrination are satisfied that CBS hasn’t yet changed the tone of “60 Minutes.” Sunday’s show featured two “fair and factual” stories that criticized Trump. That’s not even counting the 13-minute puff piece by Jon Wertheim on radical feminist author Margaret Atwood, who the Left reveres for warning of right-wing Christian authoritarianism.
