TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Softball at the Super Bowl: Fox News’s Bret Baier’s Donald Trump  pre-game interview was as one-sided as the Philadelphia Eagles crushing defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs. Poynter's Tom Jones gave Baier’s bended knee sitdown with The Donald a big thumbs down…Would there be a Trump 2.0 if he had campaigned on the extreme MAGA-fest destiny measures he’s suggested (Canada becoming the 51st state, etc.) and making Elon Musk the nation’s defacto COO?  I’d have loved to see him defend his anti-democratic  positions in a debate with Kamala Harris. Ben Rhodes posits likewise in  this NY Times op-ed headlined “This Isn’t the Donald Trump America Elected”…The conservative editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal continues to hammer away at Trump.  Yesterday, the WSJ’s Mary Anastasia O’Grady took aim at Trump's claim that Chinese soldiers are working on the Panama Canal.  “Nonsense,” she huffed. “The Trump administration is making stuff up, swinging a big stick, and humiliating a friend”… FrontPage supports Trump's looney idea of resettling Gazans in Somalia because “nothing would make Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) madder”…Here’s a fringe concept that’s picking up steam in MAGA-nation: “pronatalism,”  a movement advocating that couples produce as many offspring as possible. The Washington Post profiled one prolific couple where the wife, who has endured several risky pregnancies, was quoted as saying, “I’m happy to die in labor.”  Worth noting: Elon Musk, the father of 11 children, is a pronatalist and so is JD Vance…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

When the camera focused on Trump, the stadium erupted in loud applause, signaling a resurgence of unity across the nation. In contrast, Taylor Swift faced a very different reaction from the crowd compared to Trump. She seemed taken aback by the boos, her expression changing to one of nervous confusion as she realized she was being booed.

Football fans have gotten used to seeing Taylor Swift at Kansas City Chiefs games and watching her on the jumbotron every five minutes, but this was the first time in history that a sitting U.S. president attended a game. We got a telling contrast in crowd reactions to Trump and Taylor Swift.

Americans are tired of the insults, and we will no longer parrot the LGBTQ lies.

The Trump-Musk Partnership Is a Union of Geniuses

They are just out of the starting gate and already are delivering dividends for taxpayers and the common good. The first target, the US Agency for International Development, proved to be such a cesspool of waste and leftist activism that it makes a slam dunk case for similar probes throughout government.

USAID Is a Rogue Agency

By Sen. Joni Ernst: My researchers learned that the aid that was supposed to alleviate economic distress in the war-torn nation was spent on such frivolous activities as sending Ukrainian models and designers on junkets to New York City, London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.

At USAID, Funding for Terror-Tied Groups Goes Back Years

In some cases, USAID fought to conceal how taxpayer funds were spent. And when it came to Israel, officials recalled battling USAID over funding for groups that worked to undermine the Jewish state or maintained ties to terror organizations.

The Lefty Media Exodus Is Upon Us

source: SteveGruber.com

The grande dame of leftist propaganda, 78-year-old Andrea Mitchell, is finally hanging up her microphone at MSNBC. After decades of spinning tales for the Democratic Party, Mitchell is stepping aside from her daily show – though we’re sure she’ll still be available for a fawning Biden sit-down if he can remember her name (or his own).

DEI Could Lead to Terrifying Consequences for Airline Passengers

source: Daily Caller

The fact that the Army conspicuously delayed releasing the name of one of the Black Hawk helicopter pilots, Capt. Rebecca Lobach certainly raised a few eyebrows. Perhaps it feared her background as a social function volunteer in the Biden White House and her work as a certified Sexual Harassment and Victim Advocate would lead to unfair suspicion.
