TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Caroline Kennedy took direct aim at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  The daughter of John F. Kennedy labeled her cousin a “predator”  and urged the Senate to kill his nomination. In addition, cousin Caroline, who has served as ambassador to Japan and Australia, stated that RFK Jr.  is “addicted to power and attention.”  I fear that Caroline Kennedy’s powerful statement ultimately won’t have the weight in the bizarro MAGA-world.  Still, I applaud her speaking truth to power.  She would fit right in her dad’s1957 Pulitzer-prize-winning book Profiles in Courage that focused on eight senators who stood up for  their beliefs, regardless of the consequences. If there’s a heaven, her father, mother and brother are smiling down on her today.…Toni Williams of the Victory Girls blog is no fan of the just-unveiled black-and-white photo portrait of the First Lady.  Williams  points out that it makes FLOTUS look too powerful.  “This photograph screams Girl Boss!” wrote Williams.  The Victory Girls author is also critical of the soft-focus Washington Monument background looming over Melania’s shoulder.  “Does anyone want to talk about the giant phallic symbol?” asks Wsilliams. “Maybe Melania is sending a don’t EFF with me message.”   America Thinker also threw shade on the photo for placing Melania in “a toxic masculinity posture”…Who saw all of Karoline Leavitt’s White House debut press briefing yesterday?  While Trump’s newly minted press secretary displayed  a glib  confidence, her performance had a creepy cult-like vibe that was amplified  by her prominently displayed shiny cross. Dana Milbank of the Washington Post wrote that the cross was of “a size commonly associated with warding off vampires”…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Selena Gomez removed an Instagram video of the Emmy-nominated actress tearfully breaking down to her 420 million followers over Donald Trump’s mass deportation assault.  That did not stop a host of nasty  parody videos mocking Gomez.  Sky News Australia has the roundup. (BTW:  As of this morning, Gomez’s video is still embedded in this Hollywood in Toto article)…The three broadcast networks devoted 46 minutes covering Trump’s pardons for two days last week compared to just 3:30 minutes reporting on Biden’s pardons in that same time, according to NewsBusters. The analysts at NewsBusters watched evening and morning broadcasts beginning with the night of January 20 through the January 22 morning newscasts…National Review’s Caroline Downey ranks the best and worst fashion from last week’s inauguration.  Example: While she liked  Ivanka Trump’s monochromatic green outfit with a matching chapeau, Downey observed that  it gave off United Arab Emirates flight attendant vibes.  Couldn’t agree more!...Right wing media is banging the drum loudly on Obama divorce rumors. WND reports that the former president appeared at a popular DC restaurant without Michelle.  Seems like another nothingburger to me…Here’s the most outrageous headline that hit my screen last week, courtesy of Blaze Media: “Egyptian pastor reveals shocking Islam-LGBT plot to conquer the West.”  Couldn’t bring myself to read the piece…Just asking: Are The Donald’s Greenland ambitions for real or simply a noisy distraction to keep attention away from a flurry of frightening executive orders rapidly unwinding our democracy and transforming the nation into a totalitarian regime??...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Of all the crimes and threats to the United States — terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, espionage, drone attacks — why was a four-hour riot in Washington, DC, singled out by the DOJ and FBI to be the biggest investigation in their history? Bigger than 9/11, bigger than Enron.

And for what? Washington, D.C. produces almost nothing. There are no farms, no factories. The swamp does produce lawyers, lobbyists, regulations, rules, politicians, special interest groups, journalists, and bureaucrats. Washington is a city where people come to do good and end up doing well.
