TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Donald Trump, bestselling  artist?  How much would the sketch Trump allegedly drew of a naked woman for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday limited edition book fetch if it ever came on the market? A better question: Who would want it hanging in their living room or office?...Predictably, Trump is on the warpath about last week’s Wall Street Journal article about the drawing for his former sex trafficker pal Epstein.  He has carpet-bombed the Murdoch empire demanding $10 billion in damages. Worth noting: As I revealed last week, the Trump White House linked most to Murdoch-controlled media in the administration's  aggregation newsletter that steers readers to positive Trump stories.  Let’s see if 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue  keeps linking to the WSJ  and Fox News.  Worth noting: the White House linked twice today to stories from Fox but not the Journal...Democratic strategist and nonstop chatterbox James Carville advises his party on how to win the midterm elections in a NY Times op-ed.  My two cents: It’s naïve to reflexively assume there will be midterm elections. Trump always does the worst things imaginable...Dept. of Broken Hearts: Outkick is speculating that the relationship between WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark and her “Kamala-loving” boyfriend may be in trouble. “There's a video circulating the internet today of Clark greeting this poor sap during All-Star festivities Friday night, and it's just a tough watch,” Outkick’s Zach Dean reports. “This just screams, ‘Trouble in paradise!’”...A classy way to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary? UFC honcho and Trump bro Dana White is touting a Fight Night live from the White House for July 4, 2026. Combatants still to be named. White promises “the best card we’ve ever done.” Talk about pandering to the base. (Daily Wire)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy note for the disgraced financier’s 50th birthday, according to last night’s much-anticipated Wall Street Journal article.  It’s certainly not a good look for POTUS, but it’s probably not a knockout punch.  The “Extra” tape with the “grab them by the pussy” soundbite was released just before the 2016 election and he still wound up in the White House. Accusations of sex with porn star Stormy Daniels didn’t derail his political career. Some factions of MAGA-world have turned on The Donald.  While Trump is once again revealed to be a sewer rat, I predict he  slithers out of this latest revelation...While the media industry braces for devastating funding cuts to PBS and NPR, another bomb landed on a legacy outlet last night. CBS abruptly  announced the end of  “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” next May. Hollywood in Toto swallowed the hard-to-believe corporate BS that the decision was “based on financial realities, not content or political pressure.” Yeah, right. I’m sure it had nothing to do with Colbert’s years of anti-Trump monologues and the impending sale of CBS that needs FCC approval....Medical condition of the week: chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Trump’s afflicted with the mostly non-life-threatening disease, which the White House announced yesterday. Take a look at this image of Trump’s swollen ankle and you’ll understand the condition on the first bounce.  Worth noting: while CVI is generally not fatal, it’s  a progressive condition so it’s likely to get worse, not better. As a public service to President Trump, I’ve included a link to Amazon’s Best Shoes for Edema page.....Weekend Watch: HBO Max’s two-part documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, which debuts tonight.  I’m a longtime fan of the Piano Man, and after this week’s nonstop news, it promises to give my brain a much-needed wash and rinse....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

The single most disturbing fact about the Epstein case is that we know, and have known for the past two decades, that scores of prominent men — renowned, esteemed, allegedly men of character — have no problem being pedophiles. But we still don’t know their names.
