TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Van Jones for president?  The middle-of-the-road CNN commentator could be a viable candidate on the Dem ticket, according to SteveGruber.com.  “Whether Van Jones will throw his hat into the Democratic presidential primary remains to be seen,” writes the prolific right-wing essayist Liberty Paige, “as does whether the party would embrace a straight-shooter who doesn’t jump on board every time to spin the Democratic  narrative”...Donald Trump, book critic? In a Truth Social post, POTUS is promoting the new book from Michael Flynn, the disgraced former National Security Advisor who served for a mere 22 days during Trump 1.0. Trump calls Pardon of Innocence “a fantastic new Book (sic).” Wanna bet Trump never read it?...The American Conservative continues to voice skepticism about Trump’s bombing of Iran.  Writer Josh Shifrinson described Trump as “no change agent”  and added that “the president acted in line with the decades-old foreign policy consensus he claimed to oppose”...The right-wing college site Campus Reform is also peeved about the left. The site targets liberal Smith College in Northampton, Mass., for offering a two-week summer course for high school students where they can learn about queer love stories, trans lives, black feminism and reproductive justice. The cost: $4,864...With “notorious Melania hater” Ann Wintour stepping down from her post as editor in chief of Vogue, the first lady may finally get her cover on the fabled fashion bible.

Students Are Benefitting in the Age of Trump

Evil at Commencements Masquerades as Virtue

Twenty years ago, commencement speeches at America's top universities were proud celebrations of freedom, intellectual discovery, and national purpose. Fast forward to 2025, and the scene could not be more different.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Trump is the “greatest” American president ever.  So says the Washington Free Beacon.  My guess is that Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and a few other leaders may have a contrary opinion...Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) attacked Melania Trump this week, questioning how she got her EB-1 visa to enter the United States.  The conservative Victory Girls blog came to her spirited defense calling her “substance in silence.” Not the most convincing argument, but their passion is duly noted...The luxury real estate market in New York City “is bleak” after Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary that propelled Socialist Zohran Mamdani to almost certain victory.  The Western Journal reports that residents with the financial resources may soon leave the city for good, with Florida as a top choice for relocation.  And real estate agents say that prospective buyers are getting cold feet about a NYC purchase...Weekend watch.  “Father of the Bride.”  It’s my daughter’s wedding tomorrow so it only seems fitting to suggest this 1991 feature film with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton.  (Here’s the full movie for free.) Alternative suggestion: Monsoon Wedding, the acclaimed 2001 comedy-drama from director Mira Nair, the mother of Zohran Mamdani...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

24 Years After 9/11, NYC May Have a Radical Muslim Mayor

source: Human Events

Since the 1980s, immigration from the Middle East and South Asia has tripled, and the numbers don’t lie. Old New York—the city of blue-collar workers, Italian delis, and Irish pubs—is now a minority in its own home. The cultural and political fabric that held this city together has been frayed by policies that prioritized open borders over assimilation.

The Zohran Mamdani Revolution

source: Townhall

By Ben Shapiro: Mamdani regularly hits the highlights of the so-called left-wing omnicause: He's a radical antisemite who calls for the disestablishment of the State of Israel as a Jewish state; he's sympathetic to a bevy of terrorists throughout the Middle East, so long as they oppose Israel; he vows to spend millions of dollars subsidizing the transgender hormonal and surgical mutilation of minors.

Any Criticism of Zohran Mamdani Is Suddenly Islamophobic

source: The Gateway Pundit

Where have we seen this strategy used before? Oh yeah! During the eight years of the Obama presidency. As you may recall, all criticism of Obama made you automatically racist. Same old tired playbook.

Tuesday night’s Democratic primary for the New York City mayoral race exposed a serious flaw in our immigration system. America is a heartbeat away from a self-declared socialist controlling America’s largest city, despite several examples of his hatred for our country and the ideals on which it was founded.
