Greetings! Just what The Donald  doesn’t need.  Stormy Daniels is on a speaking tour leading up to Election Day. In October, the porn-superstar and alleged Trump one-night-stand will be appearing in Palm Springs, Los Angeles and Edison, NJ. Her website has more details…This won’t please never-Trumpers: the Trump-controlled Truth Social is on a roll.  For the second month in a row, the social platform experienced a surge of traffic in August.  And Fox News also had a relatively strong month for visitors, as mainstream news websites struggled.  Here are TheRighting’s latest findings…Ex-Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has a Fox News op-ed  that claims Iran supports Kamala Harris and if Americans want a safer world, there’s a better choice in you-know-who…The Sphinx speaks: Press-shy Melania Trump is slated to appear on "Fox & Friends" tomorrow morning to hawk her new memoir.  She is expected  to share intimate and explosive details about her strange marriage to Donald Trump that will repulse conservatives in the heartland and – wait – I just made that last part up! Of course we’ll never get an honest take from Melania on her strange union. However, I’d love to see a deft  novelist like Curtis Sittenfeld of Rodham fame have a go at it… Adios Infowars?  Multiple news reports say that Infowars will be sold to help pay the families of victims of Alex Jones’s lying ways.

Greetings! Wanna be a political appointee in the next GOP administration?  If so, Republican Bill Short (a pen name) suggests in his Substack Elephant in the White House eight essential tomes for budding politicos who want to navigate the Washington swamp. The books include “You Report to Me” (my fave title), “Masters of Corruption” and Chris Matthews’ “Hardball,” which Short urges you to borrow from a library so left-leaning Matthews “doesn’t get any royalties.”  Nasty!..Mike Pence sounds like he’s still carrying water for Trump.  In an opinion  piece for the Wall Street Journal, the former Trump Veep and pin cushion outlines how Republicans can win in November.  One key reason, per Pence: promote “the conservative policies that made the prior administration the most successful in generations.” Sounds like a direct endorsement of a White House return engagement starring The Donald to me…Benjamin Franklin, babe magnet? While reading details about the RFK Jr/Olivia Nuzzi sexting saga, I found an article from 2016 in the Journal of the American Revolution about Benjamin Franklin’s “battery of lovers” … Wanna know what Trump reads?  Check out my article for Mediaite which reveals that Trump swims in the shallow end of the right wing information pool and drinks the water. He probably gargles with it as well. You may be surprised to learn that he's very partial to RSBN, Real America's Voice and....drumroll please....the New York Times and CNN which he nonetheless loves to call “fake  news.” It's all based on TheRighting’s exclusive research…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
