TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! As a NY Giants fan, the 2026 NFL season is already off to a rough start.  On Friday, the team’s 23-year-old sensation Jaxson Dart, who will be starting his second season as the team’s  quarterback, introduced Trump at a rally in Suffern, NY.  That did not sit well with me as well as one of Dart’s teammates who the Daily Wire points out is a Muslim. USA Today has more details....Weird: Over the weekend, Trump posted a link to a March 1 article from the American Thinker with this head-scratching headline: “President Trump’s Fixation with Heaven Is Good for America.” Sounds scary to me...Another thing to worry about: The third largest outbreak of Ebola in history is devastating a densely populated region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Due to the Trump administration's deep cuts to international health organizations, efforts to contain the deadly disease are faltering, CNN and other outlets report....Book News, Part I: Regime Change, the explosive nonfiction book about the Trump 2.0 White House by NY Times star scribes Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, drops June 23. That's just days after The Donald’s  80th birthday and two weeks before the nation’s 250th birthday.  Expect the timely release of “Regime Change” to dominate the news cycle between those two big birthdays....Book News, Part II: The Federalist has compiled a list of 12 books that are essential reading for "patriots" celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday. It’s a surprisingly even-handed selection, including Jon Meacham’s “Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power” and Michael Shaara’s  classic novel about the Civil War, “The Killer Angels”....Just askin’: who’s read the entirety of Pope Leo’s 42,300-word Encyclical letter on safeguarding humanity from AI?...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Farewell: Stephen Colbert signed off from his CBS perch last night after a dazzling 11-year run marked by his relentless comic critiques of Donald Trump. Here is his opening monologue. Can’t help but think Colbert left the door open for a return late-night engagement elsewhere because he said, “Tonight is our final show from the Ed Sullivan Theater.” The itals are  mine....Weekend Watch: The final episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Like many of you, I didn’t (couldn’t) stay up to watch the end of an era in real time and will catch the finale in its entirety this holiday weekend....Seriously? An  article in the American Thinker suggests moving the nation’s capital further inland. The preferred location is Lebanon, Kansas, which sits in the exact geographical center of the nation, 260 miles west of Kansas City...While a heated debate simmers about whether Trump has lost control of the Senate, I’m certain he’s lost control of his hair. DC’s notorious spring humidity has settled in over the White House wrecking havoc with The Donald’s coif leaving it, straw-like, limp and unkempt. Here’s a Wikimedia Commons compendium of Trump’s hairdos over the years and all of them are better than what’s plopped on his POTUS dome now...Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend all. We’ll be back Tuesday....If  you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

With Colbert Gone, Can We Start the Clock on Kimmel?

source: PJ Media

Colbert will probably hit the lefty podcast circuit, maybe write a book, and keep providing fuel for a barrage of wildly inaccurate hot takes about why he's off the air. Jimmy Kimmel is still polluting the airwaves with bad political cheerleading theater, and wasting no time reminding everyone how awful he is.

By Kathryn Jean Lopez: What to Expect When You Are Forced to Be Expecting — that was “the new pregnancy guide” Stephen Colbert joked Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was issuing after oral arguments in the Dobbs case.

Letterman Sowed the Seeds of Late-Night TV’s Demise

source: PJ Media

Near the end of his run on The Late Show, Letterman wandered more and more into partisan grumpy old man stuff.
