Greetings! Nailed it! Politico has the newsletter subject line of the day on the 11th hour ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran: “Better TACO Tuesday Than World War III.” ICYMI: TACO is shorthand for “Trump always chickens out”...Book news: Get ready for Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by NY Times scoopmeisters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The book focuses on the first year of Trump’s second presidency (although I’m not sure I want to relive it. PTSD etc). “Regime Change” drops June 16, two days after The Donald’s 80th birthday, and just in time for Father’s Day gifts...The National Pulse has a long list of possible candidates that Trump might name to replace his recently fired Attorney General Pam Bondi. Among those players being considered to become the newest Trump White House cast member: Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO); Mark Whitaker, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton; U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro; Counselor to the President Alina Habba, and Todd Blanche, Acting U.S. Attorney General and former Trump defense attorney. Altogether, there are 23 names on the Pulse list ...."The Charlie Kirk Show,” the podcast of the popular right-wing activist who was slain last September, is one of the fastest-growing right-wing podcasts, according to TheRighting’s just released research. The show, now hosted by producer Andrew Kolvet, drew nearly 30,000 new subscribers in the first quarter. Ultra-right looney Candace Owens’ program ranked as the fastest-growing podcast on my list for the second quarter in a row. I shudder to think about what that says about certain factions in our country....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The New York Times is enjoying a rarefied hot streak in the field of prestige journalism. Since late February, the so-called paper of record has published numerous articles and op-eds that neatly capture the elite liberal worldview in all its cloistered absurdity.

The old political machines were corrupt, but at least they delivered quality city services.

Greetings! And a white-knuckle welcome to Power Plant Day and Bridge Day. That’s what the pouting POTUS has dubbed today because he’s threatening to destroy key Iranian infrastructure if the country’s leaders don’t open up the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. tonight...Last night on Truth Social, Trump endorsed California GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton...Also, The Donald reposted a 17-second video of a scene from Minnesota’s gigantic Mall of America crowded with women dressed in hijabs. “This literally is the ‘Mall of America,’” wrote the America-first author of the American AF X account. “85% of these people are on welfare, btw,” he added without citing his source. By reposting, Trump is actually endorsing this racist point of view. Worth mentioning: The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported that the video Trump reposted was from 2019 and showed the Eid celebration, one of the most important festivities in Islam...Dept. of New Phrases: Kink-shaming. I came across this phrase reading about Bryon Noem’s apparent cross-dressing, big breast fetish. It appears it’s a big no-no to make fun of someone’s fetishes or kinks. The Psychology Today website explains why...Is the Strait of Hormuz closed forever? That provocative question is at the heart of a new podcast hosted on The Free Press featuring shipping expert Sal Mercogliano...London Calling: For the first time, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is coming to London reflecting a growing turn to the right in the UK. The conference will be held July 16-18. No speakers have been announced yet....Colorado is the most authoritarian state in the country. So claims the Washington Examiner. I still love the Aspen region...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

President Trump has gotten out the message that he is not fooling around. He takes his role as commander-in-chief with deadly seriousness. He is not fooling around. In fact, that is one of a president’s most important responsibilities.

On Sunday, Trump fired off a social media post that included a not-so-subtle message to Iran – and, shocker, a little colorful language including the “F” word. The reaction from the usual crowd on the Left? Not exactly waving the stars and stripes or calling out Iran. Nope. In their world, the real problem isn’t Iran, China, or North Korea – it’s President Donald J. Trump.

"Project Hail Mary" should inspire us to invest in a different kind of masculine Christian storytelling that challenges the conventions of the female-driven faith-based market.

In recent years, he’s used awards show stages and press interviews to savage President Donald Trump while watching his comedy output droop. He wouldn’t be the first comedian to be dethroned by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Just ask Rosie O’Donnell, Kathy Griffin and Jimmy Kimmel.

A culture shaped by the Enlightenment cannot be overrun by a medieval culture that refuses to change, and it is up to Europe to save itself.
