TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! I’m surprised the right isn’t up in arms over the 13 Academy Award  nominations showered on “Emilia Pérez.” The musical chronicles the tale of a Mexican drug cartel boss, who happens to be trans.  “Emilia Perez” stars Karla Sofia Gascon, the first trans woman to receive an Oscar nom in the best actress category.  As of this morning, in the more than 30 sites I follow, only PJ Media expressed outrage.  As for most of the rest of the Oscar-nominated films, the majority seem misaligned with not only MAGA-nation but with much of mainstream America (not the first time in Academy history, BTW).  But at this perilous point in time, it makes the Academy, and by extension Hollywood, look out of step with the country.   I expect record-low ratings for ABC’s telecast of the March 2 Oscar ceremony.  I also expect the show to be a rather somber affair. The devastating LA fires and a flurry of Trump executive orders have put any celebratory Hollywood vibe on life support.  In the current environment, where most media executives have bent the knee to the Trumpists, who will dare to make a comment critical of the Trump administration?  And will Trump’s special envoys to Tinseltown attend?...Somehow I overlooked the 20th wedding anniversary of those May-December lovebirds Donald and Melania. They married January 22, 2005.  The Palm Beach Post has complete coverage from that day 20 years ago (including photos).  The Post’s coverage also features the guest list from the nuptials which includes Bill and Hillary Clinton, Matt Lauer, Anna Wintour, Shaquille O’Neal and Katie Couric…Weekend Watch: Try Apple+’s Prime Target which follows the harrowing travails of a young English math whiz who may have uncovered a way to access every computer in the world and is on the run. I’ve watched the first  two episodes and I’m hooked. New episodes drop every Wednesday…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

AOC Loses Her Mind Over Detaining Illegals Who Steal

Amid debate of the Laken Riley Act, which has since headed to President Donald Trump’s desk, she lost her mind over a measure that would would require law enforcement to detain illegals accused of theft and violent crimes, claiming that it would allow those individuals to be removed from the country without proper due process.

Attacks on Elon Musk Are Fake News

source: Daily Caller

To suggest Elon Musk, who visited Israel after Hamas’s savage terror attack and who wears around his neck a dog-tag given by a father of an Israeli taken captive by Hamas, has anything to do with Nazi ideology, is just sick.

We Got Out of the WHO Just in Time

source: The Lid

The WHO’s “pandemic accord” is scheduled to be finalized by May 2025, and the drafts of that agreement that we have seen so far are extremely alarming. Can you imagine what the WHO will do during the next global pandemic if it possesses much more power and much more authority than it did during the last global pandemic?

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The NY Post’s Kirsten Fleming has issued a very public dare to Conde Nast’s legendary editor Anna Wintour.  In her latest column, Fleming challenges the grande dame of magazine publishing and fashion to put Usha Vance on the cover of Vogue.  “I’m betting it won’t happen,” predicted Fleming.  “Vogue under the stewardship of Dem fundraiser Wintour isn’t about American fashion or excellence. It’s still about naked partisanship. The magazine, dubbed the ‘fashion bible,’ is a de-facto arm of the DNC”…Speaking of fashion, the world’s ugliest sneakers are now for sale, and they ain’t cheap.  President Trump’s official low-top victory sneakers sell for $499.  They’re gold with gold shoelaces and a red, white and blue motif at the heel.  Along the white mid-sole of the shoe are the words “Trump Won 45-47.”  Only 1,000 pairs are available.  I’m surprised he’s not hawking running shoes to chase down illegal immigrants… Cold shoulder? Arch-conservative and scandal-scarred Mel Gibson directed the new theatrical movie “Flight Risk,” which opens tomorrow.  Yet, no early reviews have been posted and Hollywood in Toto thinks it’s because the studio is shielding it from progressive critics who have been “sharpening their knives.” The trailer looks good IMO and features a bald Mark Walberg (!!!) playing against type…I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what’s going to happen to right wing media in 2025.  Here are 10 of the most pressing questions I have about what’s going to unfold in the next 12 months….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

It’s Time to Cleanse the White House Press Corps

It would be a marvelous moment if, a few days into the new administration, Karoline Leavitt announced to most of the existing press corps that “Your service has been duly noted, however, we have come to the conclusion that your audience sizes do not justify your presence here. Now please turn in your credentials at the door.”

Elon Musk’s Salute Is Just a Fun Meme at This Point

It is quite natural to extend one’s arm every now and then while gesturing. Taking it out of context and attributing sympathies to the Third Reich to the person making such a gesture is disingenuous.
