TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! I’m seeing a lot of positive buzz around Texas state representative James Talarico who has announced his candidacy for the 2026 U.S. Senate race in the Lone Star state. There’s talk that the 36-year-old could be destined for even great political fortunes should he become the first Democrat in nearly four decades to capture a U.S. Senate seat in Texas. To see what all the fuss is about, check out his seven-minute interview with MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnel from Tuesday night. Flashback: Sen. Lloyd Bentsen was the last Texas Senate Democrat and he became the party’s Veep nominee in 1988....Fox News announced a  Sean Hannity’s twice-weekly podcast dubbed  “Hang Out” that launches March 3.  Listen for the  bombastic Fox News star and Trump Whisperer to feature loving chats with politicos  and celebrities.

We can’t continue to engage in the delusion that one can actually change their gender, that “gender-reassignment surgery” is more than just mutilation and, of course, that the urge to change one’s birth gender isn’t already a mental health emergency in and of itself that has recently become accompanied by horrific violence.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Trump is working extra hard to spotlight his relationship with the Rev. Jesse Jackson who died two days ago. POTUS posted a dozen photographs on Truth Social of him with the charismatic civil rights leader and two-time presidential candidate. We get the message Mr. President. You were friendly with a Black man... Clever! “President Trump is unfit,” is the lead sentence in this Wall Street Journal op-ed, by Jack Butler. “Not for the office. But he is literally, physically out of shape. Americans shouldn’t emulate either his lifestyle or his health philosophy.” The headline also takes a dig at his weight and will surely give him heartburn: “Trump’s Fatness Speaks to His Fitness”... Flashback: I’m still reeling from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s overly hostile and completely evasive responses to questions at last week’s Congressional hearing about Jeffrey Epstein.
