(The Telegraph)...An op-ed in the Washington Times opposes the United States selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey claiming that Turkey is not America’s ally...Yesterday, I wrote that best-selling author and Maine’s literary luminary Stephen King still supported Graham Platner in his bid for the Senate.  Looks like King may have walked back that position.  Fox News and other outlets are reporting that the horror master deleted his post and clarified his stance, writing on X, “If he committed rape, he should bow out.”  Not King’s most shining moment... Walt Heyer, who lived for eight years as a woman, has written an article for the Daily Signal admitting that “being transgender is a fantasy.” “(T)he practices at gender clinics dehumanize and destroy men and women by carving away at God’s design and harming their ability to reproduce,” Heyer wrote. “Gender clinics don’t make women out of men, or men out of women—they just leave vulnerable people in a lost state, wearing a mask to disguise the truth of biological sex”... Remember Michael Cohen? He was Trump’s fixer who did three years in the slammer for doling out hush money payments among other sins. Beginning July 12, he’ll have a weekly radio show on New York’s WABC-AM. (NY Post)... Trump’s Reflecting Pool obsession: In the last two days, I counted at least a dozen Trump posts on Truth Social with pristine images of his renovated Reflecting Pool...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

According to the right-wing blog Hollywood in Toto, actress Lupita Nyong’o, who plays Helen of Troy, mocks Homer in “needless pandering to modern Left”...Washington Post architecture critic Phil Kennicott has been one of the Trump administration’s fiercest and most vocal critics.  Yesterday’s article in the Jeff Bezos-owned media outlet, which blasted the White House’s vile Smithsonian report, was no exception.  He calls the 160-page report, “a relentlessly tendentious piece of trash.” The White House report accused the National Museum of American History of having a radical bias...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
