Greetings! The NY Post’s staunchly conservative editorial board actually had praise for a Democratic  congressman.  The Rupert Murdoch-controlled tabloid lauded 78-year-old Rep. Jerry Nadler’s decision  for re-election because his party needs “generational change.”  “Let’s see if Nadler’s bold move encourages the rest of the Democratic Party’s House gerontocracy to make room for new blood,” the editors wrote. “Yes, retirements risk opening the door to more radical candidates from the party’s AOC-Mamdani wing — but trying to hang on too long only feeds the demand for drastic change”...Donald Trump crowed that the U.S. military destroyed a ship from Venezuela alleged to hold  illegal drugs heading to our shores.  Eleven people were killed, presumably drug runners. The Donald’s announcement was long on bravado and short on essential details. I suspect the deadly attack on the Venezuelan vessel was also planned as a warning shot to immigrants seeking refuge in the U.S., a move that could cost them their lives...Nine former top CDC officials wrote a blistering op-ed for the NY Times charging that the policies of health and human services chief Robert Kennedy Jr. are  “endangering every American’s health.” That may have prompted Kennedy's Wall Street Journal op-ed with this gag-inducing headline, We’re Restoring Trust in the CDC. Worth noting: the old line conservative National Review opines that Kennedy is compounding the CDC’s Covid mistakes.  “The HHS secretary is substituting one set of unscientific, politically driven priorities for another,” the editors wrote...The Devil Is a Democrat, an anti-woke rap song by Tom MacDonald, debuted as #1 on Billboard’s Rap Digital Song Sales Chart.

Greetings! Dept. of Irony: Hours after Rudy Giuliani was injured Sunday in a car crash, the disgraced ex-NYC mayor’s security chief Michal Ragusa posted on X, “We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading false conspiracy theories.” How rich. For years as a MAGA-mouthpiece, Rudy spread multiple lies about the 2020 presidential election that  ultimately got him disbarred from practicing law in the Empire State. (NBC News)...In the wake of Rudy’s car wreck, last night on Truth Social, Donald Trump announced that his conspiracy-spewing pal will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. I certainly respect Rudy’s reported heroism and leadership during and after the 9/11 attacks, but his fall from grace has been absolutely disgraceful. Cue the justifiable gagging....Controversy magnet Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is reportedly worth  $30 million, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Speaking to Business Insider last February, Omar denied the allegations she’d made tons of cash while in office, saying she was the subject of a “coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign that falsely claims she’s worth millions of dollars,” wrote the Beacon’s Andrew Kerr...Strange but true: On a recent Bill Maher Club Random podcast, Woody Allen  said he would like to direct Donald Trump in another film.  Trump had a cameo in Allen’s mediocre 1998 “Celebrity.” In case you’re wondering, Woody voted for Kamala Harris.  Variety has the details....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
