TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! And welcome to what Trump has called Liberation Day. Every day, this administration becomes more Orwellian…At the close of yesterday’s stock market, the right wing media outlet Newsmax had a market cap of an astounding $20 billion just two days after going public.  To put that in context, The New  York Times Company has a market cap of $8.1 billion.  Newspaper publishing giant Gannett has a cap of $4.1 billion.  Worth noting: When billionaire Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post in 2013, he shelled out a mere $250 million. Can’t imagine it would get that price today.  Also worth noting:  Richard Nixon’s grandson, Christopher Nixon Cox, has been on Newsmax’s board of directors for the past year….Props to ironman Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), who delivered a record-breaking 25-hour speech from the Senate floor attacking President Trump that ended last night. The previous record for the longest speech was set in 1957 and delivered by segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond. (Politico)… Anti-Trump News from the Right: The prolific MAGA-loving blogger Liberty Paige downplays the chatter about a Trump third term.  She terms it a “troll move” and observes that Democrats seem to be taking the bait (SteveGruber.com). The National Review gives a big thumbs down to Trump’s obnoxious war on Canada, calling his verbal assault “reckless.” And the Wall Street Journal once again criticizes Trump because he broke his campaign promise to lower prices. “His tariff obsession will make life more expensive, and Americans know it,” writes opinion writer William Galston…RedState speculates that MSNBC primetime host Lawrence O’Donnell’s two-week absence may have been tied to his desire for a much bigger paycheck.  No sources are cited, BTW…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Cory Booker’s Sad Stunt Epitomizes Dems’ Empty Agenda

source: NY Post

Sen. Cory Booker’s pointless imitation filibuster epitomizes Democrats’ pathetic incoherence in the wake of last November's defeats.

Pete Hegseth Is Banishing Military Wokeness

source: Daily Signal

To abolish inherently racist practices that reward the possession of immutable characteristics, instead of true merit, Hegseth headed the creation of the “Restoring America’s Fighting Force Task Force,” charged with eliminating DEI efforts in the Pentagon.

Can the Government Cut Off Funding for Woke Colleges?

source: Daily Caller

By Alan Dershowitz: There is a legitimate and constitutionally appropriate place for some federal financial pressure to be directed at some universities to achieve some beneficent purposes. But the government should be cautious, selective and targeted in its deployment. It should operate with a scalpel, rather than a chainsaw.

When French Democracy Died

source: FrontPage

Marine Le Pen was leading in the polls for the 2027 French presidential election, when she was found her guilty of misappropriating European Union funds. That means that she can’t run for president in 2027. Not coincidentally, Le Pen is also the chief critic of France’s leftist political elites.

Europe’s Attacks on Free Speech and Elections Prove Vance’s Munich Warning Was Right

source: The Federalist

It’s been a banner week for authoritarians in Europe.  On Monday, a French court banned Marine Le Pen, the leader of the right-wing National Rally party and the frontrunner in the 2027 presidential election, from seeking public office for the next five years.

“Dangerously Liberal” Judge Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

source: Daily Wire

Before becoming a judge, Susan Crawford worked as a lawyer for Planned Parenthood and filed lawsuits to block the state’s voter ID laws, earning her a label as “dangerously liberal” by the Wisconsin Republican Party.

Will Republicans Finally Pull the Plug on PBS and NPR?

source: WND

It's hard to defend half a billion dollars annually in taxpayer subsidies for a system that often serves as a megaphone for the radical left.

Abolish the TSA

source: Washington Examiner

Both Orlando and San Francisco are among the more than 20 cities in the United States that already use private security through something called the Transportation Security Administration‘s Screening Partnership Program.

Trump Must Act to Halt the Tesla Terror Campaign

source: City Journal

Musk has become a symbol of everything progressives oppose: oligarchy, capitalism, wealth, and innovation. These, in their view, are marks of the oppressor.

Elon Musk and the American Majority

Most people understand that the government spends too much.

Progressives Are Well Organized. Patriotic Americans Have to Do Even Better

source: Townhall

They are ready, willing, and able to drop everything they’re doing and respond when the phone chain erupts into a call to action. They can quickly leave Mom and Dad’s basement wearing their hoodie, adding a face mask or keffiyeh to wear until they reach the designated location.

The White House Olive Branch Dinner Between Bill Maher and Trump

source: Victory Girls

Maher has now had a personal experience with Trump and a private tour of the White House. Those kind of experiences can change anyone’s perspective. Kid Rock’s desire for “a little more civility” is a noble aim, and if both men came away from dinner with a new measure of respect for the other, then the evening was a success.

Amber Ruffin Weaponizes “Very Fine People” Hoax

source: Hollywood in Toto

Canceled WHCA dinner emcee proves why she didn't belong on dais. Even by far-Left standards, Ruffin is a progressive bomb thrower, a clapter-approved satirist who hits mostly one side. That’s exactly the image the WHCA wants to avoid on its biggest night of the year.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Worth remembering: April 2020, when the world was in full pandemic lockdown. In recognition of those dark days, TheRighting has published a list of 200 outrageous right wing headlines from that terrifying time five years ago. It’s a toxic brew of misinformation and misdirection that harmed untold thousands of people and needlessly divided our nation at such a deadly time…Another day, another NY Post op-ed opposing Donald Trump’s tariffs. This one is from Tad DeHaven, who predicts tariffs will turn our economy upside down. “Rather than tamp down inflation or boost growth, the broad tariffs Trump plans to impose this week are likely to upend our economy in damaging ways,” opines DeHavens…Ex-CBS News legend Dan Rather posted this gem of a Turkish proverb on Facebook: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king.  The palace instead becomes a circus”…Townhall’s William Marshall suggests that the U.S. put down billions of green to buy  Greenland from Denmark. Marshall says the U.S. should pay every one of Greenland’s 55,000 citizens $1 million dollars to garner support for an American takeover.  That alone would cost $55 billion.  I’m sure a million bucks would have a lot of Greenlanders blinded with dollar signs…The right wing billionaire’s club welcomed a new member. Yesterday, Newsmax went public and its value immediately skyrocketed north of 700% making founder and CEO Chris Ruddy on paper worth more than $3 billion. (Forbes)…Meanwhile, another high profile conservative media outlet, The Daily Wire, has hit some speed bumps. Its entertainment division, which promised way more than it delivered, appears to be on life support after staff cuts and executive exodus, according to Status News. I’m not surprised. I never completely bought The Daily Wire hype about its ambitions in programming for kids…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Voice of America Is Broken and Can’t Be Reformed

source: Wall Street Journal

The U.S. international broadcaster is politically biased, confused and ineffective. Tear it down.

Europe Is No Longer Worth Defending

source: American Spectator

Since we no longer share the same ideals of freedom and democracy, we should no long shoulder their burdens.

The Case for Alberta as the 51st U.S. State

source: American Thinker

Alberta has tremendous ability to supply cheap coal, oil, and natural gas to meet Trump’s Agenda47 goals. Also, rural and blue-collar Albertans are hardworking, honest people. Our cities — unfortunately like many U.S. cities — attract socialists, but this problem can be fixed.

Tariffs Will Make America Rich Again

source: Newsmax

Since President Trump started his second term, almost $3 trillion in investments in the American economy have been announced by multiple countries such as Saudi Arabia and companies such as Hyundai. This is largely due to the President's pro-American economic policies, including the threat of tariffs.
