Greetings! Tongues were wagging yesterday after Trump’s speech in Las Vegas.  It’s not what he said; it’s his thick head of hair that has mysteriously appeared on the top of his skull.  It immediately sparked speculation that he was wearing a wig. The Daily Beast has more details, plus images. He’s probably pleased with all the wig chatter because at least no one’s talking about his stupid Reflecting Pool....Lobster lands MTG in Hot Water: Former Republican Congresswoman and attention-magnet Marjorie Taylor Greene is under fire for her culinary choice while honeymooning in Maine this month.  While stopping at Luke’s Lobster in Portland, she committed an apparent faux pas by dousing her lobster roll in truffle butter. The Maine Wire points out  that truffle butter hides the naturally delicious flavor of the crustacean...More Melania: Who wants to see another documentary about Melania Trump this year? Not me, not that it matters. The First Lady’s senior advisor, Marc Beckman, told the conservative network Real America’s Voice that a new docuseries will bow this fall on Amazon Prime.  According to People.com, the series will take viewers much deeper into her life than “Melania,” the Prime documentary that dropped earlier this year and only looked at 20 days in her life.  It feels like another cash-grab for Mrs. Trump who earned nearly $11 million for the first vapid documentary on Prime...Hegseth in the Hot Seat: A bombshell Washington Post article reveals that last weekend the pugnacious Secretary of Defense was grilled by Trump over the nearly depleted supply of missiles needed for the war against Iran.  Predictably, a White House spokesperson called the report “fake news.” Also predictably: Hegseth reportedly blamed the shortages on his #2, Stephen Feinberg. He’s clearly not a “the buck stops here” leader...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

This morning, Trump called him a “Communist loser” on Truth Social, which seems like a mild description coming from our slur-slinging president. El-Sayed has been criticized for anti-semitic commentary, his attitudes toward women, and his calls for defunding the police and ending military support for Israel. Worth noting: He is not a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and was not endorsed by the group...The right-leaning Washington Stand takes a swipe at Michigan’s Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Center for pushing a LGBT+ agenda.  “Whether Pine Rest was motivated by profit or some other undisclosed reason, its pro-LGBT position has enabled it to flourish under the pro-LGBT Whitmer administration,” according to the Stand’s Joshua Arnold. “Pine Rest obtained $50 million in state grants for construction of its new pediatric center, or just over half of the $98 million price tag”...Music-critic-in-chief: Last week, Trump gave a big shout out (with a link) to the new song One Nation by Steve Gruber & The Freedom Project.  Here’s the opening lines: "Lord, hear my earnest prayer for these United States. Keep her in your holy protection"...Vile: The Gateway Pundit believes Dr. Anthony Fauci deserves the electric chair for the way he handled the pandemic...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
