TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Another day, another Wall Street Journal editorial slamming Trump.  The Journal’s editorial board scoffed at President Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS News for an interview “60 Minutes” conducted with candidate Kamala Harris.  “This looks like editorial judgment, not an instance of splicing footage to create a misleading response that never happened,” the editorial board wrote…Sign of the times: The Daily Caller has a “masculinity consultant” on its editorial team.  Goes by the name of Mr. Right.  Here’s his most recent article…Newsmax has compiled a list of the worst presidents in U.S. history.  They include Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Pierce, LBJ, FDR (!), Barack Obama, Joe Biden (natch) and Richard Nixon…The Washington Free Beacon observes that ads promoting service in the army are great again “after four years of woke nonsense under Biden.”  The article, which includes examples of recruitment ads under both administrations, pointed out that ads under Trump focus on conflict and fighting, and boast that “stronger people are harder to kill.” The Biden ads, the article says, showed service in the military as a way to “make friends from everywhere”…Rising right wing podcast star and MAGA fan girl Megyn Kelly is gushing about her Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans.  The former TV news personality posted 10 photos of her trip on her website including images with President Trump (and Don Jr.), James Carville, Karoline Leavitt and Elon Musk biographer Walter Isaacson.  Most telling, the final picture of the post features Kelly and her husband Doug on the plane ride home – in coach!  Right wing news stars, they’re just like us…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Maybe We Should Take Trump’s Gaza Proposal Seriously

source: American Spectator

If past is prologue, we shouldn’t casually dismiss Trump’s “wild ideas.”

PBS Caves to Trump

source: Breitbart

The PBS office solely dedicated to embracing the disputed ethos of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) – and its associated diversity officers – is no more.

Let DOGE Sinks Its Teeth into Our Bloated Tech Infrastructure

source: Fox News

DOGE can cut through the complexity, drive accountability and ensure cybersecurity measures actually work.

Dems Reeling from Trump Fatigue

source: Washington Times

Over the past three weeks, President Trump has unleashed a blitzkrieg of executive orders designed to reduce government and bring back sanity.

Dems Love Transparency Until It Exposes Their Waste

source: Newsmax

Democrats are always screaming that they want more transparency in government — until they get it. Then they say not that transparency — just the good kind — the kind that makes the GOP look bad.

Making Your Wallet Great Again After Biden Picked Your Pocket

source: SteveGruber.com

While Joe Biden’s economy still has folks rationing eggs like it’s the Great Depression, Trump is promising tax cuts and other plans to let Americans keep more of their own money.

How the Left Lost Its Cool

source: Washington Examiner

Many are now positing what was recently unthinkable: President Donald Trump, the beta-carotene-hued king of all things camp, is suddenly “cool.” “Trump is cool now,” an incredulous Bill Maher remarked on a recent episode of HBO’s Real Time.

The Left Thinks Power Is Equivalent to “Authoritarianism”

source: Daily Signal

By what right do bureaucrats think they have an unlimited capacity to rule Americans without any form of accountability? This country was founded on the idea of self-government. Replacing a king with millions of little Caesars with unchecked power is hardly what the Founding Fathers would call “freedom.”

Marriage Decline Threatens Our Social and Economic Future

source: WND

The entertainment media provide a relentlessly negative view of marriage. Stories about the limitations of marriage and joys of singleness are everywhere. It's as if infidelity, exploitation and abuse were the norms of married life.

How to Get More Conservatives in Academia

source: City Journal

The politicization of the university is not only an obstacle for the Right but for academia itself. Schools’ “sectarian” reputation undermines trust among those who perceive them to be hostile to their views. More important, academia’s ideological tilt presents an intellectual problem, as it gives license to theory-laden interpretations of reality and declining rigor.

Trump Would Need Eight Years

source: National Review

Most of his executive branch actions won’t have staying power if Democrats retake the White House in 2028.

Pfizer Employees Donated to Elizabeth Warren 165 Times

source: Loomered

Senator Warren has been adamant to Loomer Unleashed that she doesn’t take “contributions from big pharma executives.” However, FEC records also show that Warren accepted donations from the Sackler family, who have been sued for their role in the opioid crisis. Sadly, Senate Democrats have resorted to distorting the truth in an attempt to obstruct Trump’s nominees.

Electric-Focused Car Ads Absent from Super Bowl After Exploding on Biden’s Watch

source: Washington Free Beacon

By contrast, seven different ads for electric vehicles ran during the Super Bowl in 2022, several months after President Joe Biden signed an executive order compelling U.S. automakers to ensure that by 2030 roughly half of all cars sold in the country would have fully electric or plug-in hybrid engines.

Could “Emilia Pérez” Be the Final Nail in Oscars’ Cultural Coffin?

source: Hollywood in Toto

During the broadcast, we’ll be reminded that, "Emilia Perez," the most nominated film of the night, essentially cut the line for ideological reasons. Worse-case scenario? The assembled stars turn Oscar Night into ResistanceTM Theater, chasing away anyone who so much as considered voting for Trump.

Resettling Gaza

source: FrontPage

Trump is a visionary and his idea reframed the entire view of the conflict, and while it may only be an opening for a negotiating position, it has shaken up all the conventional wisdom in the Middle East. His basic premise, that Gaza will be a source of conflict as long as it is populated by Islamic terrorists, is fundamentally sound.

FEMA Hates America’s Mountain Folk

source: Victory Girls

By Toni Williams: The unelected bureaucrats of FEMA hate the mostly poor, mountain folk who live in Appalachia. That’s the closest I can get to an answer when I try to understand why the Federal Emergency Management Administration sent $59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Softball at the Super Bowl: Fox News’s Bret Baier’s Donald Trump  pre-game interview was as one-sided as the Philadelphia Eagles crushing defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs. Poynter's Tom Jones gave Baier’s bended knee sitdown with The Donald a big thumbs down…Would there be a Trump 2.0 if he had campaigned on the extreme MAGA-fest destiny measures he’s suggested (Canada becoming the 51st state, etc.) and making Elon Musk the nation’s defacto COO?  I’d have loved to see him defend his anti-democratic  positions in a debate with Kamala Harris. Ben Rhodes posits likewise in  this NY Times op-ed headlined “This Isn’t the Donald Trump America Elected”…The conservative editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal continues to hammer away at Trump.  Yesterday, the WSJ’s Mary Anastasia O’Grady took aim at Trump's claim that Chinese soldiers are working on the Panama Canal.  “Nonsense,” she huffed. “The Trump administration is making stuff up, swinging a big stick, and humiliating a friend”… FrontPage supports Trump's looney idea of resettling Gazans in Somalia because “nothing would make Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) madder”…Here’s a fringe concept that’s picking up steam in MAGA-nation: “pronatalism,”  a movement advocating that couples produce as many offspring as possible. The Washington Post profiled one prolific couple where the wife, who has endured several risky pregnancies, was quoted as saying, “I’m happy to die in labor.”  Worth noting: Elon Musk, the father of 11 children, is a pronatalist and so is JD Vance…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Trump Steals the Spotlight from Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl

source: Townhall

When the camera focused on Trump, the stadium erupted in loud applause, signaling a resurgence of unity across the nation. In contrast, Taylor Swift faced a very different reaction from the crowd compared to Trump. She seemed taken aback by the boos, her expression changing to one of nervous confusion as she realized she was being booed.
