TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Donald Trump’s ham-fisted attempt to run Harvard University, received a failing grade from the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board.  Simply put, per the editors, “many of his demands on the school exceed his power.” My two cents: Trump’s targeting of elite educational institutions is starting to feel more and more like a war on thought, especially since the Trump administration wants to require Harvard to have “viewpoint diversity"…Joe Biden gave his first formal speech this week since leaving office, and The Gateway Pundit erroneously thinks it went sideways. During the presentation to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled, he referred to Black children as “colored kids.” Naturally, Trump posted a 14-second clip of the speech on Truth Social. HOWEVER, Biden said in his speech that back in the day when he went to grade school, Black children were referred to as “colored kids.” Worth noting: The Washington Free Beacon blasted his speech but not for his word choices. The headline and subhead called him “geezer” and “crotchety”…Good question! Newsmax columnist Susan Estrich wonders where in the world is George W. Bush.  “America needs its former presidents to speak out about the abuse of presidential power that this president is engaged in,” she wrote. “But most of all, we need to hear from former President George W. Bush. He is, sadly, the only Republican with the gravitas and the standing to say no to Trump and his best friend Elon Musk”…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Climate Cult Comes for Man’s Best Friend

source: Daily Caller

It should come as no surprise that scientists want to paint dogs as the latest villain ruining the planet. It’s as if the climate cult wants to destroy all the joys of human civilization to make everyone else miserable, even though none of their mandates or prescriptions will make any sort of difference.

Lefty Magazine Says Dogs Are Bad for the Environment

Left-wing magazine Mother Jones argued that people should stop taking dogs as pets.

Golden State Now a Failed One

source: Newsmax

Media Are About to Make Gov. Shapiro Arson Attempt Disappear

The media got very excited when the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion was firebombed because they were hoping it was going to be somebody with the ‘wrong’ politics.  Instead the alleged perpetrator, Cody Balmer, was a self-proclaimed “socialist."

Woke. In. Space. CBS Host Apologies for Saying Mankind

source: NewsBusters

In space, no one can hear you scream; but the aliens can apparently pick up your virtue signals on their scanners. CBS Mornings co-host Vlad Duthiers was sending out distress calls during Monday’s show after he was scolded by the first black woman in space because he used the highly offensive term “mankind” to refer to the entire human species.

Is a Maryland Father Far More Important Than a Maryland Mother?

source: Conservative View from NH

The uproar from the Left to force the Trump administration to return to America a Maryland Father, a verified MS-13 gang member by two courts, who was deported and sent to a Venezuelan prison, is a graphic example of how displaced progressive allegiance is in this country.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The New York Post’s lead op-ed takes a chainsaw to Trump’s tariff policies.  Written by the National Review’s respected editor-in-chief Rich Lowry, it blasts the president’s reckless roller coaster tariff policies, upending global economic relationships that have well-served our nation for decades. “It’s foolish to disrupt willy-nilly a system that has us at the apex, and getting stronger rather than weaker,” says Lowry. “Trump is using a defibrillator on a patient who not only passed his stress test with flying colors, but is beating everyone else in the 100-yard dash.” Agreed!… I’m confused. Why aren’t more media outlets calling the weekend firebombing of the state mansion where Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and his family slept an assassination attempt? Here’s how the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word assassinate: “to murder (a usually prominent person) by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons; a plot to assassinate the governor”…Donald Trump, Jr., and Fox News host Lara Trump now have a significant stake in Salem Media Group, the right wing media company announced late yesterday. Seems like the Trump family is getting much more involved in the media business. (The Hill)…Dept. of Surprises: Fox News has an op-ed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The progressive  Democrat urges the federal government to make Social Security stronger not weaker…The right wing media company Newsmax went public April 1 and its value soared to roughly $20 billion before crashing to earth.  In his latest article for us, Right Wing Biz Watch columnist David Lieberman looks at the company’s ledgers and its legal battles with Dominion Voting Systems to determine if Newsmax stock is a worthwhile gamble on a growing conservative media empire or a sucker’s bet…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Trump’s Campus Crackdown Is Long Overdue

source: Daily Signal

Victor Davis Hanson: My advice to Columbia University and especially to the president of Princeton: Either protect the civil rights of Jewish students and students in general or expect a backlash from the federal government, the magnitude of which you really have not recognized and you should fear.

Harvard May Be Free to Target Jews, But Not on the Taxpayer Dime

source: NY Post

Harvard University is thumbing its nose at Team Trump and refusing to take steps to stamp out Jew-hatred on its campus. Fine. Then, let it say good-bye to federal bucks — possibly as much as $9 billion a year’s worth — and start spending its own money instead.
