TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings from California! I’m a long way from my hometown of New York which got rocked by a political earthquake last night. Looks like the right has a new villain in Zohran Mamdani, the progressive 33-year-old Queens Assemblyman who won yesterday’s Democratic mayoral primary in NYC.  The National Review has published five articles today critical of the election results and many more right-wing outlets are also negative about the outcome. The Washington Examiner takes the prize for the most creative headline: “The Barista Proletariat Wins in NY”...Once again, The American Conservative rains on Trump’s victory-over-Iran parade.  “This war isn’t over,” crows the latest headline...There’s a petition circulating asking President Trump to cancel Pride Month.  If you sign it, the organizers say they will send you a free “This Is My Pride T-Shirt.” Under those words is an American flag. Curious to see if this picks up any steam...Yesterday, Trump dropped an epic 264-word rant on Truth Social about AOC. He just can’t stand it when a powerful woman of color stands up to him. (She called for his impeachment.) He labeled her – and not for the first time – one of the “dumbest people in Congress.” Furthermore, he wrote, “Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she represents, and which she never goes to anymore.” And in an extra dose of meanness, Trump also insulted Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Sen. Chuck Schumer...Who or what is the greatest enemy of Western culture? It’s Netflix, according to the European Conservative. Here’s why...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Stephen Colbert Dances After CNN Casts Doubt on Success of Iran Strikes

source: NewsBusters

CNN published an article of debatable accuracy alleging that Saturday’s B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not as successful as Trump claimed.

GenZ Recognizes Trump as a Peacemaker

source: Washington Examiner

For Gen Z, with many of us too young to remember a time when America wasn’t at war, it’s personal. We were raised in a post-9/11 world. We watched classmates write letters to parents deployed overseas. We heard stories of brothers, cousins, and neighbors lost in battles half a world away.

Trump Obliterates, Blinken Hyperventilates

When faced with evil, Antony Blinken hosted symposiums. When confronted by aggression, he scheduled Zoom calls. When enemies needed to be deterred, he drafted statements “expressing concern.” And the results were exactly what you’d expect. The Middle East in flames. Europe in chaos. American influence slipping like sand through fingers.

Trump Wins the Battle of NATO

source: Wall Street Journal

America has long asked its European allies to spend more on their own self-defense. So the astonishing news out of this week’s North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit is the near unanimity: NATO allies have agreed to devote 5% of their economies to military spending, up from the current 2% floor.
