TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings!  Fox News hosted an all-star bro-fest last night featuring Sean Hannity’s unctuous interview with Donald Trump and Elon Musk.  Per usual, Hannity’s questions seemed scripted by Team Trump. Here’s an excerpt from that chat if you have the stomach for it….A Wall Street Journal op-ed by German journalist Filipp Piatov takes a barely-veiled swipe at JD Vance, declaring that his country’s far-right AfD party is no friend of the U.S. Vance met with Alice Weidel, the head of the AfD, five days ago. The article is another example of the increasingly critical tone of the Journal’s historically conservative editorial pages towards the current Trump administration…Images on social media captured the moment in Philadelphia when an ICE van was ablaze. MAGA media like Border Hawk News implied that the van was set on fire by opponents of the immigrant crackdown. The Daily Beast sets the record straight on the accidental cause of the fire…Just askin’: Where is the outrage amongst Trump-voting federal employees who supported The Donald this past November and now find themselves unemployed? Buyer’s remorse as their careers are derailed  and the bills pile up must be setting in. Will that segment of MAGA-nation ever let the collective angry voice of betrayal sound out?...Dept. of Bad Timing: I have a flight this afternoon from West Palm Beach to New York.  It happens that the Lord of Mar-a-Lago is also flying north from the same airport today.  I’m prepping for a slow slog to Palm Beach International Airport and  a delayed departure. It seems like Trump is everywhere I turn figuratively and literally….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Trump Has a Point About the 14th Amendment

DOGE Stops Funding of Circumcisions in Mozambique

source: RedState

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently announced that it has put the kibosh on close to a billion U.S. tax dollars from funding outlandish overseas programs, including $10 million to “voluntary medical male circumcisions” in Mozambique.

DOGE Can Strike a Blow Against Washington Bureaucracy

source: National Review

Thus far, DOGE has represented nothing more dramatic than an audit of federal spending of the sort in which the president of the United States — acting via any agent he sees fit to name — is self-evidently permitted to engage. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with Elon Musk playing accountant for President Trump

Musk’s Money Sleuths Making Dems Sweat

The DOGE probe is the fiscal equivalent of an anesthesia-free colonoscopy.

“Public” Broadcasting Really Hates Musk and DOGE

source: NewsBusters

No one elected PBS, so it's funny when they lament "unelected billionaires." The media are unelected influencers of our democracy, often employing anonymous unelected sources to spread a partisan Democrat narrative. One repetitive theme is the word "guardrails" from the PBS panic squad.

Media Falsely Claim Firing Probationary FAA Workers Endangers Air Safety

source: FrontPage

It does not because one were air traffic controllers. Despite that, Democrats and their media tried to link the firings to the recent crashes (which happened beforehand) while insisting that firing probationary employees would endanger airline safety. It does not.

Fake News “60 Minutes” Star “Nonpolitical” USAID Worker Is a Former Deep State Speech Writer

Kristina Drye did not work for USAID and she even had a blog writing about eliminating Trump supporters.

What the USAID Scandal Means to Everyday Americans

source: Western Journal

Whether it’s locking the doors on USAID or setting up beds for the auditors in the Office of Personnel Management, Elon knows how to get to the bottom of the operation, and Deep State bureaucrats are petrified that their secrets are now going to be fully exposed in all their hideous glory.

International Aid and Internal Fraud Go Hand in Hand

Information about the appalling waste of American taxpayers' money continues to pour out like pus from a lanced boil.

Woke Is Dead. Nike Didn’t Get the Memo

source: Washington Examiner

Nike ran its first Super Bowl ad in 27 years last week. The ad, called “You can’t win. So win,” made no sense. It was an expensive gambit that leaned into woke capitalism and fake feminism and failed to root itself in any relevant consumer or cultural insight.

Death of DEI Is a Massive Reminder There Are Better Ways to Run a Business

Major businesses kick DEI to the curb because of political pressure, government moves

While You’re Defunding DOE, Get Rid of Chromebooks and Apps

source: Human Events

Use of Chromebooks in every classroom, apps, software and various tech tools have all replaced actual teaching and actual learning. The most essential thing in education are teachers who are passionate about their disciplines and want to share that love of learning with students.

Bird Flu Is a Rerun of the Covid Playbook

source: Infowars

Bird flu can be very confusing. This is true because, as is so often the case with our government, those who claim to be trying to solve the problem – our so-called “public health” and “pandemic preparedness” “experts” – are actually the ones who created the problem. What is worse, they are actively seeking to perpetuate it.

EV’s Promised a Carbonless Future, But Delivered Nightmares

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings!  The NY Post makes a half-hearted attempt to lay blame for yesterday’s upside-down Delta jet crash landing in Toronto on DEI.  Here’s the lame headline:  “Delta Reaffirmed Its Commitment to DEI Initiatives Just Before Crash.” While nothing in the story points the finger at DEI for the accident, the headline sure sends a toxic message…Dept. of Surprises:  In recognition of President’s Day, The Hungarian Conservative named the top 10 U.S. presidents and one Donald J. Trump – an  ardent admirer of Hungarian dictator Viktor Orbán – did not make the list.  Leading the list? George Washington. The Hungarian Conservative also named the ten worst American presidents and Joe Biden wound up on that hall of shame…On Sunday, “60 Minutes” ran a strong,  even-handed segment on Trump and Elon Musk’s moves on USAID and what it portends for other government agencies. Victory Girls whines that the 60 Minutes piece was a  full “propaganda banger,” as well as “sob fest.” NewsBusters also scoffed at the report because it claimed that the two fired government workers featured in the story were not “the kind of nonpartisan workers the liberal media would like you to believe.” Here’s a link to the segment so decide for yourself…Also on Sunday night, NBC broadcast a three-and-a-half-hour 50th anniversary special for “Saturday Night Live” that was mostly non-political.  Steve Martin’s hilarious opening monologue contained the most politically oriented content with the 79-year-old comedian boasting that he was “SNL’s” newest diversity hire and that he was just vacationing on a boat in the Gulf of Steve Martin. WND has more details…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
