TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Once again, it’s another day and another Wall Street Journal editorial throwing shade on President Trump. Last night’s headline nailed it: The Trump Tariff Roller Coaster. The article was framed perfectly with this subhead: “He gives a one month reprieve to car makers but everyone else loses”…Trump’s Tuesday night speech generated significant viewer interest as it drew 36.6 million viewers, more than Biden’s first 2021 address.  However, 70% of the audience was 55 and older.  Fox News was the most watched of any network. (Deadline)… Good Jimmy Kimmel Trump joke from Tuesday night: “According to a new poll from CNN, 52 percent of Americans do not approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president. The other 48 percent responded in Russian,” cracked the ABC late night comedian, according to NewsBusters…Dept. of Sticks & Stones: The Washington Beacon called Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who disrupted Trump’s Tuesday night speech, a “ponytail geezer”… Human Events is sounding the alarm about Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.  It seems she’s not conservative enough. “Barrett’s track record has been a rollercoaster of disappointment, with too many stops on the liberal side of the tracks,” wrote pundit and Pizzagate-theory-promoter Jack Posobiec. “This isn’t just a critique—it’s a red alert for Republicans: stop playing DEI games with judicial picks, or we’ll keep getting burned”…The American Conservative identified four unconventional politicians who could be the answer to the prayers of Democrats as they search for their own Trump in 2028.  They are:  AOC, ESPN chatterbox Stephen Smith, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.  My advice: keep praying…if you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Death of Europe

source: John Stossel

Europe is kind of like a big museum. Tourist money keeps it going, but there’s so little growth that, per person, America’s poorest state (Mississippi) is now richer than most European countries. The reason is the very same policies ignorant Americans want to copy — higher taxes on the rich.

NYT’s Maureen Dowd Is the Patron Saint of Smug, Shallow Journalism

source: American Spectator

She has perfected the formula for the lazy political column. Her writing leans on snide remarks, pop culture name-drops, and a profound sense of self-satisfaction. Over the past decade, she has milked his presidencies for a stream of recycled, sarcastic drivel.

Hold the Tariffs, Please

source: Unleash Prosperity

Trump delivered a “hell, yes” speech last night, but it’s time to be attentive to a spooked stock market, inflation that’s still too high, and GDP growth that’s sputtering. Trump should push the pro/growth tax cut message, and steer away from the tariff/protectionism riff.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! I bailed on Trump’s speech at the top of the hour last night. All the lies, boasts and grievances dented my brain.  Right on schedule this morning, right wing media praised the speech as you’ll see in my roundup.  The Washington Examiner was the only outlet I saw from the right that expressed some skepticism describing it as “style over substance”…Ben Shapiro, the world’s most popular conservative podcaster, yesterday launched a campaign urging President Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin.  The former police officer was convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd.  Shapiro maintains that the evidence of the case did not support the claim that Chauvin was responsible for Floyd’s death.  Furthermore, Shapiro asserts that the conviction of Chauvin “represents the defining achievement of the Woke movement in American politics”…Another day, another Wall Street Journal editorial condemning Trump.  Last night, the Murdoch-controlled news outlet told the harsh truth about tariffs in this simple five-word headline: Trump’s Tariffs Whack Trump Voters. And just to rub it in even more, the subhead read, “”Whatever happened to the GOP concern for the working class?”…The Canadian comedy program “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” posted a hilarious video of the Zelensky-Trump Oval Office showdown.  It really gives “SNL” a run for its money…In case you were wondering, Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino is giving up his day job as a nationally syndicated right wing radio host and podcaster.  He will be replaced by Vince Conglianese and the show will be rebranded as “Vince.” Here’s the press release…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

A Night of Triumph for Trump

Even without the Democrats’ assistance, the president’s stemwinder would have been remembered as a defining moment in his political career.

Trump Now Stands Astride American Politics Like a Colossus

source: American Spectator

Trump's speech was the longest, most boisterous, probably most partisan, and almost certainly most triumphant address to the legislative branch in modern American history and very likely in the mass-media age.

The new president has a lot to boast about, but his fiscal and economic promises could set him up for failure.

Hot Takes from Trump’s Address to Congress

The speech was a masterclass in leadership, political theater, and well-timed traps for the Democrats... who walked right into them.

Trump Shows Why He’s the Next Great American Communicator

source: Daily Signal

What Trump communicated through his unique, off-the-cuff style is that American energy is back. Media elites hate it, his supporters love it, and it drives his opponents crazy because they can’t stop it. Americans don’t want to hear polished “corporate speak” anymore.

America’s Orator in Chief

Most things have been said about President Donald J. Trump in his life. After Tuesday’s comeback speech and his first six weeks in office, it’s time to add “historic orator.”

Trump’s Rousing Address Puts Dem Clowns to Shame

source: NY Post

Dems were a sad, shrunken presence, especially after one of their main stooges, Rep. Al Green of Texas, got himself ejected by repeatedly interrupting. He was the lucky one. Those Dems who stayed were like fish out of water, waving their silly little paddles.

Left Still Whines as Trump Keeps Winning

source: Newsmax

After being badly beaten in the November election, many of the losers are digging their heels in, apparently learning nothing. They have already succeeded in rendering liberalism intellectually bankrupt, and now they are well on their way to destroying the Democratic Party.

Dems at Trump’s Speech Beg for Shovels to Dig Their Own Graves

As Trump gave a joint address to Congress last night, the struggling Democrats decided that the best way to respond would be to act like petulant, unstable children who aren't getting hugged enough at home. It was a truly pathetic spectacle.

Dem Reaction to Trump’s Speech Might Be a Huge Boost to Him

source: Townhall

Voters didn’t like the disrespect, the antics, the signs, and the whiteboards—all of which paint an unserious picture of a party that reverts to middle school class election tantrums when they don’t get their way.
