Greetings! Just wondering: Will the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association  (WHCA) dinner take place July 24? It’s an important question to ask in the wake of the DoJ’s shocking subpoena last Friday of four NY Times DC correspondents after their riveting reporting on Donald Trump’s security-compromised Air Force One jumbo jet.  How can the WHCA hold a gala with Trump center stage when the Portly POTUS is escalating his chilling war with the press? My advice to the WHCA: scrap it....Does this sound like democracy to you? Trump posted a video on Truth Social from flame-throwing right-wing commentator Michael Savage calling for the criminalization of democratic socialism and the deportation of its leaders...Unhinged. In a one-hour period between approximately 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. EDT today, Trump released more than three dozen posts on Truth Social....What took him so long? Mitch “MIA” McConnell finally released a proof of life statement and photo of him sitting up in what appears to be a hospital bed.   The 84-year-old GOP Senate majority leader’s statement blamed his mysterious absence since June 14 and hospitalization on a taking a nasty fall and a bout of pneumonia. The thin statement leaves more questions than answers about his long-compromised health...Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who died suddenly Saturday night, had a net worth of $1.5 million, putting him in the bottom half of his fellow legislators, according to data from Quiver Quantitative. The NY Post has more.  Worth noting: Trump has been praising Graham effusively in his death, but 11 years ago this month, The Donald attacked Graham by releasing the senator’s personal cell phone number and urging his supporters to “try it”....

Greetings! Beware the Red Scare: There are 25 million communists in America.  That claim comes from FrontPage’s Daniel Greenfield who writes today, “The level of ‘very positive’ supporters for communism among Gen Z is already projected to stand at 10 million, another 9 million or so for Gen Z, another 4.5 million for Gen X and another 1.3 million for the Baby Boomers for a combined projected total of over 25 million communists”... In a post on X, the White House touts the roughly two dozen gas stations offering fuel for $3.47 a gallon (the 47 cents is a nod to our 47^th president).  It’s 33 cents lower than the national average, according to the Trump-friendly Daily Caller, which nonetheless points out that the price is still “significantly higher” than before the war with Iran. While neither the White House nor Trump are involved in the low-price gas stations – called the Freedom Fuel Network – the post on X noted, “President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer - putting more money in your pocket”....Weekend Watch: I’m late to the party on this one, but I Will Find You, which has been streaming on Netflix since June 18, is one of the summer’s guilty pleasures. It’s often moronic and features highly implausible plot twists like the worst-staged prison break I have ever seen on TV or film.  Nonetheless, the fast-paced action and the heroic quest of a wrongly imprisoned man who searches for his missing young son kept me glued to the screen. Also: On a more somber note, the Daily Caller drops today the documentary Inside CECOT, a look at El Salvador’s notorious prison...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
