Greetings! NewsBusters is cheering The Atlantic’s just-published piece spotlighting the success of Donald Trump’s border policies in stemming the flow of illegal immigration into the country. Migrants Are Heading South posits that after the last few years where millions of migrants flooded into the United through Central America, under the Trump administration, the “flow is changing direction.” Worth noting: The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg is the journalist who was scandalously added to Pete Hegseth’s Signal group chat last month. Hegseth, you may recall, called Goldberg “a deceitful and discredited journalist”…Even The Donald’s most vocal supporters like the NY Post’s Michael Goodwin are expressing anxiety about the Trump administration's cascade of policy missteps of this month.  “The biggest problem is self-inflicted, in that an admitted agent of chaos has overindulged,” Goodwin wrote…PJ Media targets David Hogg, the 25-year-old vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, as “the man who murdered the Democratic party.”  Hogg just announced a $20 million fund targeting geriatric members of Congress who seem to be sleep-walking through their terms. His goal is to promote younger, more dynamic politicians. All eyes are on AOC. Worth noting: Last Friday,  octogenarian Democratic strategist James Carville diplomatically called Hogg, “a contemptible little twerp.” (The Hill)... The vocal  residents of Massapequa, Long Island, are fighting to keep the town’s  Native American logo and the Chiefs as the  high school team’s name.  Naturally, with wars raging in the Middle East and Ukraine, and insane trade policies cratering the global economy, Trump has jumped into this crucial issue with a Truth Social post. The NY Post has the details…Ex-NBC News chatting head Chuck Todd admits that the “deplatforming” of Donald Trump by the media was a failure. (Unleash Prosperity)…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! If Donald Trump ruled over the Conclave of Cardinals the way he does over the GOP, his likely choice to succeed Pope Francis just might be the ultra-conservative  Raymond Burke, an American who for many years led the Archdiocese of St. Louis.  Cardinal Burke is an ardent Trumper who clashed with Francis over the late Pope’s position on marriage, divorce and the role of women in the church, according to many media accounts including The Daily Mail….A civil war may be brewing in MALA-land (Make America Laugh Again). Larry David, our nation’s greatest grouch, has a humorous NY Times op-ed imagining a 1939 dinner he had with Adolf Hitler. Without specifically mentioning Bill Maher’s infamous White House dinner with The Donald several weeks ago, David's satire nonetheless eviscerates Maher’s lame defense of the MAGA-in-Chief. Times Deputy Opinion Editor Patrick Healey has a companion essay to the David op-ed stating: “Larry’s piece is not equating Trump with Hitler. It is about seeing people for who they really are and not losing sight of that.” I wonder if Maher, who described Trump as “gracious and measured” after his meeting, will now curb his enthusiasm for POTUS and respond to his old pal Larry….Irony alert: the nation’s chief of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, had her bag stolen from a DC restaurant over the weekend containing  her passport, driver’s license, security badge, $3,000 in cash, emergency hair gel for Pete Hegseth and the secret password to SecDef’s Signal account (It’s 1,2,3,4  if you’re wondering).  That’s all true except the parts about Hegseth….The Washington Examiner observes that “Saturday Night Live” has gone anti-woke.  Hadn’t noticed but I’ll be watching for it…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
