TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! It’s been a year and a day since Trump was grazed by a bullet in a failed assassination attempt in Butler, Penn.  I believe he would have captured the presidency even if it hadn’t happened.  But it certainly put wind in his sail and it burnished the aura around him as an invincible almost superhuman populist who overcomes any obstacles in his path. Worth noting: the Victory Girls blog thinks Butler was the day Trump won the presidency...Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump interviewed POTUS for 41 minutes on her Saturday Fox News program.  It was a predictable tongue bath. Here’s the video...Thanks for nothing Trump! Food banks are sounding the alarm that food is running short in their pantries just when Americans are most needy.  The culprit, according to the Wall Street Journal: slashed budgets at food stamps and other federal programs....Launch day: Conservative CNN commentator and controversy magnet Scott Jennings is expanding his footprint.  His new daily one-hour talk program, “The Scott Jennings Show,” launches today on the Salem Radio Network...Who’s moving to Ohio  (not that there’s anything wrong with it)? The Gateway Pundit reports that Buckeye state gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will unveil a billboard in NYC’s Times Square today advising Big Apple residents to leave the city and head to Ohio. The billboard positions Zohran Mamdani, who’s running to be mayor, as a radical socialist, while  Ramaswamy “protects freedom”... Spell check: The NEA, the nation’s largest teachers’ union, tripped on its dictionary.  It misspelled “fascism” in a resolution against President Trump.  (Not the Bee)...If  you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

It is important to contrast this anniversary with other can’t miss events that the legacies never fail to observe. Two riots come to mind: J6 and Stonewall. Additionally, there’s Roe v. Wade, and an anniversary of recent mint: the Dobbs opinion, which of course ended Roe. The media will ALWAYS set aside some time to observe these dates.
