TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Word of the day: kleptocracy.  That’s one of the ways to describe President Trump’s posh dinner last night for investors in his $TRUMP meme coin business.  Attendees forked over millions to attend.  The Wall Street Journal reported that the event generated nearly $150 million in sales to his company...Dept. of No Surprises:  I’m sure you won’t be shocked to learn of another embarrassing Oval Office gaffe by POTUS.  During Wednesday’s hostile meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump thought he was showing images of dead white farmers from South Africa.  The images actually came from Reuters footage in Congo that was published in the right-wing online magazine American Thinker..  Oops!....Weekend Watch: While it’s not a mindless popcorn movie to enjoy over the long weekend that kicks off the summer of 2025, I nonetheless urge you to stream the three-part Netflix documentary American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden. It’s an action-packed three-hour series filled with plenty of heroes and one nasty, bearded villain hiding on the other side of the world. While we know the outcome (spoiler alert: bin Laden gets shot and killed in his compound in Pakistan by a U.S. Seal team), the series bristles with tension.  It’s equal parts thriller and history lesson. President Obama gambled his legacy and second term by greenlighting the risky operation.  So on this Memorial Day weekend, it’s appropriate that we salute the 23 members of the Seal Team Six who risked their lives in defense of America...Enjoy the long weekend.  I’m bringing “Original Sin” to the beach. See you Tuesday...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

On Wednesday, the Columbia Journalism Review published a detailed account that cited multiple women, detailing how they were victimized by “Mr. BLM.”

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings Word of the day: Ambush.  That’s the only way to describe the Oval Office meeting Trump had with South African President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa. And the purpose seemed to be to humiliate and bully a Black man in front of television cameras so the eyes of the world could witness the ugly encounter. Angry white men – Trump’s base – must have loved it. AP posted video of the entire sad episode...Phrase of the day: elder abuse.  The NY Post reports that iconic Washington Post columnist and DC socialite Sally Quinn accused Jill Biden of elder abuse.  Quinn told podcaster Tara Palmeri that Jill urged Joe to run despite his cognitive decline.  The NY Post also published an opinion article by a geriatric specialist echoing Quinn’s opinion.  Dr. Beth Healy wrote that as an alarmed citizen, she has alerted Delaware’s Adult Protective Services Division that the former president might be a victim of elder abuse...Juvenile! Trump posted a fake video showing him hitting a golf ball that hit Bruce Springsteen in the back during a concert. Looks like something a teenager would post on TikTok...Dept. of No Surprises: The Trump-run Kennedy Center in DC is hosting a free screening of the animated Christian film “King of Kings” on June 1. ( WND)... One of TheRighting’s loyal readers was such a fan of Joe Biden during the first 3.5 years of his administration that he intended to launch a website called JoeBidenDidThat.com to “catalog and praise his good work.” When Biden started nosediving in the first half of 2024, my reader saw the writing on the wall and pumped the brakes. Still seems like a good idea...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Invisible Hand That Governed America During the Biden Years

It is reasonable, and almost comforting, to believe that some Democrat luminary was sitting at the center of the political universe pulling levers and flicking switches. But the reality might be that progressive politics have created a self-perpetuating deep state bureaucracy that, left unchecked, couldn’t care less who sits behind the Resolute Desk.
