TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Just sayin’: The Democracy First PAC is already fundraising off yesterday’s  smackdown and handcuffing of  Sen. Alex Padillo (D-CA) who attempted to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a press conference. I got a text message last night...The Heritage Foundation reports that a security guard at the conservative organization’s DC headquarters was attacked with pepper spray.  The alleged assailant was arrested...Must-read of the week: The New Yorker’s  chilling profile of Yarvin Curtis, who is described as “one of America’s most influential illiberal thinkers, an engineer of the intellectual source code for the second Trump administration”...Several times a month, the Wall Street Journal's op-ed section dumps on Trump.  Yesterday, the Rupert Murdoch-owned WSJ gave a Bronx cheer to RFK Jr.’s new vaccine advisors, a group weighted with vax deniers. “They seem to know little about vaccines,” the editorial board noted with amazing restraint....Where are the DOGE cost-cutting hounds when we need them? The Donald’s birthday military parade on Saturday carries an ostentatious  $45 million price tag...Yesterday, I noted the sad irony of the passing of Brian Wilson in the wake of all the unrest in Los Angeles.  My Righting colleague Max Robins reminded me that the genius behind the Beach Boys’ sound wasn’t the only sonic genius who died this week. Sly Stone, another son of the Sunshine State, also passed recently. The brilliant Sly and the Family Stone, made music as diverse, funky and fun as California itself.  Max suggests the documentary Sly Lives, available on Hulu, as a weekend watch...If you’re demonstrating at any of the “No Kings” protests this weekend, raise your high voice and please keep it peaceful. And if you capture any images, please send them to Howard(at)TheRighting.com and I’ll post next week...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Israel Blows Up Obama’s Legacy

Negotiations don’t stop Islamic terrorism. That’s Obamaesque nonsense. Killing them does.

Trump Drops an All-Time Troll on Iran

source: RedState

Israel lops off Iran's head, and Trump responds by saying he hopes they come back to the negotiating table, but unfortunately, "there are several people in leadership that will not be coming back." This is why Trump is bigger than his movement, and why so many who try to mimic him fail to gain traction. He's just a different breed.

Why Israel Needed to Act Now

If Israelis succeed, they will have not only protected their people, but done a great service to America — and to Western civilization.

Israel is trying to drag America into another forever war. Here’s what the president should do now.

Here’s Why There Are So Many Mexican Flags at the LA ICE Riots

source: Daily Signal

There's a theory that Mexicans and Latin Americans have an Indigenous right to California and other Western states annexed during the Mexican-American War. They have a right to take it back, the thinking goes. It’s in part an ethnic solidarity movement that’s often been fused with socialist or Marxist ideology.

Who’s Really Pulling the Strings in LA’s Spontaneous Riots?

source: SteveGruber.com

What the media wants you to believe is a “spontaneous” uprising over ICE raids is, in fact, a meticulously orchestrated blow-up by hyper-funded leftist networks. So let’s not fall for their usual B.S. and pretend it just “happened.”

Left-Wing Activists Suggest Bribing Rioters with Cookies to Stay Peaceful at Protests

source: Washington Free Beacon

The left-wing dark money groups behind nationwide anti-Trump protests scheduled for this Saturday are urging their activists to do whatever they can to maintain peace on the ground, including by giving would-be rioters cookies or declaring, "Hey, there's Beyonce!" to distract them.

The Rogue’s New Gallery of Left-Wing Scoundrels

source: American Greatness

The left’s martyr-making machine is in overdrive—recasting criminals, rioters, and radicals as victims, even as the public demands law, order, and sanity.

The Scavenger Mentality

source: WND

By Ben Shapiro: It seeks to build nothing. It seeks to tear down everything. From rioters setting cars aflame to fight the legal authorities on immigration in Los Angeles to students taking over universities in solidarity with the terrorist group Hamas, the scavenger movement is about destruction.

ESPN’s Stephen Smith Isn’t Buying What Alex Padilla Is Selling

source: Outkick

The Dems wanted this to happen. Alex Padilla wanted this to happen. Gavin Newsom's slimy little fingerprints were all over it. Hell, some of the lunatics back in DC even staged some sort of "march" out of anger yesterday. Mayor Pete may have even cried at one point.

Is California on Pace for $8 a Gallon Gas?

Speaking of blue state dysfunction, maybe a better reason for protests in Los Angeles would be the absurdly high prices in the Golden State, thanks to years and decades of green extremism.

The LA Riots Were Supposed to Make Newsom President

source: FrontPage

Here’s how it was supposed to work. A Hispanic version of BLM operating out of California, funded by government money, would kickstart a national movement and catapult Newsom into the White House. But the plan isn’t working because the public isn’t invested in the riots.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is in hot water. Like always, he’s the one who’s turned up the heat. Amid the escalating standoff between rioters and federal troops in Los Angeles, Newsom has settled squarely on the side of lawlessness.

Dems Newsom and Bass Have Destroyed America’s Golden State

source: NY Post

The fact is that the unrest, car burnings, Apple store lootings and more that have overtaken California in the past week can be placed firmly at the door of California’s leadership. Newsom has been governor of California since 2019 and since he came into office, everything in his state has gotten worse.

Pride! It’s in Your Face!

In days of yore, cohabitation and fornication were considered sins. Hell, you weren’t allowed to chew gum in school. Today? Put on some women’s lingerie, grab your crotch and your “It Can’t Lick Itself” sign, and head to the nearest playground. Tolerance. Pass it on.
