TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings!  Required reading at the Pentagon:  Pete Hegseth’s tome The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Up Free, published in June.  BTW: Did you notice that the subhead refers to the men who keep us free, ignoring the estimated 229,000 women in the military including 3,800 in combat roles…A Wall Street Journal editorial outlines why RFK Jr. is a clear and present danger to public health…Right wing Substack newsletters are on the rise:   Three that have caught my attention: Karlstack, a newsletter from Chris Brunet, whom The American Conservative credits as “the man behind Claudine Gay’s ouster at Harvard”;  the National Populist Newsletter, helmed by Ryan Girdusky, who was famously banned by CNN late last year for saying on live TV to Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan, "I hope your beeper doesn't go off”; and Arthuriana, from  Arthur Bloom, a veteran of  The American Conservative, Daily Caller and the Catholic Herald….Hollywood in Toto notes with some schadenfreude that Jewel is begging “fans to forgive her Trump inauguration gig.” The 90s singing sensation  performed at a ball to  honor RFK Jr and then took to her Instagram to apologize…Weekday Must Watch:  Check out the new Smithsonian National Zoo Giant Panda Cam.  It’s easily the  most heart-warming show coming out of D.C in these trying times…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Woke DC Bishop Who Lectured Trump Overlooked Several Biblical Lessons in Sermon

source: Daily Caller

Republicans may come to thank Rev. Mariann Budde. Sure, her disrespectful and tone-deaf sermon at Tuesday’s national prayer service insulted the new president of the United States,  But the right reverend might have inadvertently created a bumper crop of Republican converts by luring gullible liberals into the pews.

Blame Dem Party Incompetence for Palisades Destruction

source: Washington Examiner

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed all their state’s reservoirs were full when Los Angeles started to burn this year, but that is not true. Why it lay empty as firefighters ran out of water is an indictment of federal overregulation and slavish Democratic adherence to bureaucratic processes that defy reason and common sense.

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

Hollywood Nominates a Dude for “Best Actress”

source: PJ Media

By Sarah Anderson: Karla Gascon stars in the movie "Emilia Perez," which is also nominated for "Best Picture" and several other awards that it will most likely win because it's about the weirdest freaking thing I've ever seen. From what I understand, it's about a Mexican cartel leader who suddenly decides to transition into a woman.

We Won the Cold Civil War

source: Townhall

At some indeterminate moment between Monday's soaring midday speech, in which the first nonconsecutive two-term president in over 130 years artfully took a sledgehammer to the entire Obama-Biden era legacy without so much as uttering the men's names, and Tuesday's epochal executive order coming as close as legally possible to banning wokeism throughout the republic, the war ended.

Trump Shuts Down the Hate-America Left’s Border Crisis

source: FrontPage

On Day One of his second Presidency, Donald Trump took action to stem what is arguably the most catastrophic ongoing crisis the previous administration of Joe Biden has engendered: the opened floodgates of illegal immigration at our southern border.

Britain Is Suddenly Falling in Love with Trump

source: Washington Examiner

The oddest thing is happening in Britain: Trump is becoming popular. The man was almost universally abhorred during his first term. Leftists loathed him, naturally. But so did most rightists, partly for his character and partly for his policies, above all his soft spot for Vladimir Putin, his ambivalence about NATO, and his hankering after tariffs.

Is Snoop Dogg a Trump Supporter or Sellout?

source: Kevin Jackson Network

From his Martha Stewart partnership to his Corona beer ads, Snoop Dogg has transformed from gangsta rapper to lovable cultural mascot. But his latest act of flipping the script deserves a standing ovation—or perhaps a collective eye roll. Or maybe even a foot up Snoop Dogg’s ass.

The “Bishop” Needs to Hit the Confessional

source: Conservative View from NH

Bishop Budde should have read the room more carefully, or her intentions were as clear as the frosty D.C. sky. This woman of the cloth saw her opportunity to address the biggest audience of her life, and she seized the moment to get political. It was a bad decision.

Leftist Bishop Uses Bully Pulpit to Beg Trump to “Have Mercy” on Illegal Immigrants

National Prayer Service sees politicized plea in defense of illegal immigrants.

What’s Next for Sleepy Joe?

Corpse? Inmate? Nursing home resident? Reverse mortgage pitchman? The greatest political comeback of all time?

James Carville Throws Biden Under the Bus and Runs Over Him Repeatedly

source: Infowars

“The Ragin’ Cajun” said Biden is essentially persona non grata in the Democrat Party, adding the ex-president bears most of the responsibility for the way things went south for Democrats this election cycle.

Progressive Arrogance, Failures Set California Ablaze

source: Newsmax

California’s wildfires are not a freak accident. They are a predictable result of decades of progressive mismanagement, pseudo-green virtue signaling, and bureaucratic red tape.

America Must Demand Change Before Bailing Out California

source: Breitbart

It will take hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild Palisades — and Altadena, and Malibu, and the other hard-hit communities. And California doesn’t have the money. We don’t have the money because we spend on things like free health care for illegal aliens, rather than building new reservoirs, or clearing the brush from forests.

Davos Begins to Crumble

source: The Gateway Pundit

The libertarian President of Argentina, Javier Milei, returned to Davos, Switzerland, for a second time, one year after standing up practically alone against Globalism, leftism and wokeism. But this time around, the world has changed – and there was much to celebrate in Milei’s speech.

Davos Elites Get Zoomed by Trump

source: Victory Girls

If there is anything outside of Hollywood that encapsulates the out of touch wealthy elites, that would be the World Economic Forum (WEF) led by Klaus Schwab in Davos. Schwab is right up there with Persecutor Jack Smith as central casting Bond Villains. The WEF attracts the self-righteous elite hypocrites to Davos and it was probably best the Trump zoomed.

Babies of Criminally-Present Aliens Are Not Citizens

source: American Thinker

The lawmakers who wrote the Fourteenth Amendment never dreamed of the lengths to which future Democrats would go to twist the authorial intent of the amendment into a wrongheaded policy harmful to Americans.

AOC Loses Her Mind Over Detaining Illegals Who Steal

source: Bongino.com

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.
