Greetings! “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” featured a prerecorded nearly eight-minute interview between Barack Obama and the popular CBS late-night host.  It was a fairly pedestrian exchange without much humor, although the ex-POTUS seemed relaxed and playful. Colbert and Obama both expressed admiration for NYC Mayor Mamdani (which annoyed Fox News). And Obama admitted that if aliens landed on earth, he’d like to be the emissary for humanity. I’m down for that.  Here’s the full interview.....Speaking of Obama, The New Yorker just dropped an interview with him in which he revealed that his ongoing involvement in politics because of Trump is creating tensions in his marriage. Memo to Barack: keep fighting for Dems and work it out with Michelle...Sick Bay Report: Jim Hoft, the far-right founder and heart and soul of The Gateway Pundit, is recovering from surgery to repair a valve in his heart.  His website has more details....Trump bashing from the right today: The National Review writes that the president’s tariffs are destroying the ability of Americans of limited means to buy reliable entry-level cars....RIP Ted Turner. Just learned of his passing. He was the most inspirational person I ever worked for. His heart and politics were always in the right spot. He loved the environment, the news business, sports and beautiful women, and not necessarily in that order. Rupert Murdoch was his #1 foe, way before it was cool to detest the right-wing media mogul. I can honestly say that he made the world a better place and it’s one of the reasons I keep a poster of him above my desk...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Tonight, Barack Obama appears as a guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on MAGA-friendly CBS. I’m hoping for a fiery interview filled with jokes and cutting criticism of the Trump regime.  Colbert’s last show is slated Thursday, May 21, and the late-night host has made it clear he wants to exit in a blaze of humorous free speech fury... Does Kamala Harris have a “fake Black woman accent?” The National’s Review’s  editor-in-chief Rich Lowry thinks so.  On Megyn Kelly’s podcast, this is what Lowry said about Kamala’s recent address at The Root’s “Rising Power” summit: “She is a Black woman who does a fake Black woman accent. If you do fake accents, almost by definition, you’re a bad politician”...The Philadelphia Museum of Art is in the right-wing crosshairs.  The Washington Free Beacon takes aim at the museum’s current exhibit tied to the nation’s 250^th birthday, because in its view, there is too much focus on “guilt mongering” especially as it relates to the country’s history of slavery and broken treaties with indigenous people.  “Maybe the curators figure any country that elected Donald Trump president must be irredeemable,” wrote reporter Ira Stoll. “(T)hey hate the president so much that they hate the country that elected him”... Because he is term-limited, Ron DeSantis leaves office in January.  Insiders say the GOP governor of Florida has his eyes on one of three top posts in The Donald’s administration: Attorney General of the United States, Secretary of Defense (sorry Pete), or a  seat on the Supreme Court, reports  Townhall...More Trump bashing from the right today: The Wall Street Journal concedes that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz insulted Trump, but states that’s no reason for Trump to pull U.S. troops from the country and undermine NATO.  The WSJ headline nails it: “How to Make Vladimir Putin’s Year”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
