Greetings! Today is “Sin” day. The bombshell nonfiction book Original Sin finally hits retail shelves.  Suffice to say, Joe Biden’s no good, awful, terrible, bad week somehow will get even worse as the nation’s chattering heads will be fixated on revelations about his alleged mental decline and new developments regarding his cancer diagnosis. My heart goes out to the former president, but he’s brought a lot of the speculation and scrutiny on himself.  If he decided not to run two years ago, we’d be having a much different conversation now and we might be talking about the books being published that highlight his presidential accomplishments...Another cancer on the presidency.  For obvious reasons, I recall the warning that White House counsel John Dean III said to Richard Nixon on March 21, 1973, as the Watergate investigation closed in on the president.  “We have a cancer within, close to the presidency that’s growing,” Dean informed the beleaguered president, as they discussed the possibility that his two top aides might be charged with obstruction of justice.  “It’s growing daily.  It’s compounding. It grows geometrically now.” Different type of cancer for Biden.  But another threat to his legacy...Question of the day: Is cover-up spelled with or without a hyphen? I’m using a hyphen...Trump is calling for an investigation into campaign appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey and Bono in support of Kamala Harris’s run for president.  In a threatening post on Truth Social, he wrote, “Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings. Trump had a busy weekend unleashing an eclectic batch of tweets on Truth Social aimed at a broad range of targets.  First, he attacked two rock icons with a barrage of juvenile insults that read like they came from the pen of an angry14-year-old boy.  After Bruce Springsteen criticized Trump at a concert in Manchester, England, the rock-critic-in-chief wrote on Truth Social, “I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK...This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country.” He added ominously at the end of the tweet, “Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!” On Friday, he slammed Taylor Swift, writing, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she’s no longer “HOT?” Way to keep it classy Donny.  Also, late last week on Truth Social, Trump posted this link to a press release announcing that the right-wing TV news outlet One America News Network, home to the disgraced Matt Gaetz, will now be available to Spectrum TV customers. Not a good look for the president of the United States to be promoting a highly partisan news channel (and that’s putting it mildly).  Finally, last night Trump sounded a rare note of empathy writing on his social platform that he and Melania wished Joe Biden a “fast and successful recovery” from his recently announced diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Didn’t think the Mad King could hit that note...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
