Greetings! Oopsie! Seems Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and his fellow security leaders don’t understand the term “top secret.”  On March 15, they had group chats on the messaging app Signal about plans to bomb Yemen.  For reasons not fully understood, Atlantic magazine editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, was included in the conversation  (Here’s the bombshell article from Goldberg himself.) This represents an extraordinary security breach. Let’s be thankful that Hegseth and his full clown car of cohorts weren’t running the show when President Obama greenlit the clandestine plot to assassinate Osama bin Laden.  Worth noting: the National Review was the only right wing outlet I read today that criticized this epic blunder. “Sometimes a story comes along that is such an authentic, undeniable disgrace that no possible defense of it can be mustered,” wrote Jeffrey Blehar....Speaking of Yemen, here’s an original right wing take on the Yemen strikes from  The American Conservative arguing that the bombing  could ruin Donald Trump’s legacy because they might derail diplomacy with Iran and lead to a destructive war…In a nod to NCAA tournament fever, The Federalist has come up with a list the outlet calls “Leftist March Madness” featuring Dem “lunatics.”  The list includes Judge James Boasberg, Rep.

Greetings! A blistering op-ed in the Wall Street Journal eviscerates Kari Lake, Trump’s top advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media which oversees the Voice of America.  The article, by Amanda Bennett, the former CEO of the agency and director of the VOA, rips Lake for charging that the agency’s new headquarters is a waste of taxpayer money.  In fact, writes Bennett, the new lease saved the government $150 million and she advises any doubters to check the lease, which is a public document…The National Review is gushing over Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) just published book Seven Things You Can’t Say About China.  It’s the China book of the decade, per writer Jimmy Quinn…Speaking of books, “everyone” hates Sen. Chuck Schumer’s new book Antisemitism in America, according to the Washington Free Beacon.  The outlet even spotlight’s a negative Washington Post review by former Schumer intern Emily Tamkin.  Ouch!...The future of the Republican party post-Trump is MAHA, tech bros and trad wives.  So says Blaze TV’s Matthew Peterson…There are black clouds hanging over the weekend box office performance of Disney’s new live-action remake “Snow White.”  Breitbart called the film a bomb. National Review, in a somewhat kinder note, labeled it a “box office dwarf.” AP called the ticket sales sleepy.  Right wing critics are sure to lay  some blame for the lackluster performance on the wokeness of the film’s star Rachel Zegler…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
