Greetings! Mocking Trump: The right-wing Media Research Center analyzed content from five late-night talk shows from last week, including those hosted by Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers,  Jimmy Fallon and Jon Stewart.  According to the study, of  the 118 jokes, 114 were about the war with Iran. The Donald was the butt of 78 zingers (natch), followed by Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth (6), FCC chairman Brendan Carr (3), JD Vance (3) and sinister White House advisor Stephen Miller (3). NewsBusters has the full story...Ugh! The Major League Baseball season kicks off tonight with the NY Yankees playing the SF Giants. I’m opposed to March and November baseball. Seems un-American to me.  Our nation’s national pastime is meant to be played in warm weather...Phrase of the Day: The National Review highlights  “poverty tourism” to describe the journey of left-leaning influencers who are traveling to economically stressed Havana on trips organized by the anti-war group Code Pink. Worth noting: Wikipedia devotes an entire page to the phrase “slum tourism”... Plans for a new Muslim community on 2,000 acres in rural Texas were ditched after a Daily Caller article last February alerted area residents about the proposal. The Caller pats itself on the shoulder claiming that a local official credited its reporting for killing the deal which could have resulted in as many as 20,000 “foreign nationals”  living in Kauffman, TX, a community about  35 miles east of Dallas...RIP: Jeff Webb, a mentor to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, died last week from a “freak” accident, suffering  a head injury after falling on a pickleball court, according to WND.  Webb was 76...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! Get ready for ads projected on the Washington Monument and other iconic structures in our nation’s capital. That’s just one of the alarming insights in the Washington Post’s epic takedown yesterday of Donald Trump’s shambolic rampage against D.C.’s architectural grandeur. Philip Kennicott, the Post’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning senior art & architecture critic, called the vulgarian POTUS “the  most significant threat to the city’s architectural and design legacy since British forces burned the Capitol and White House during the War of 1812”.... Trump must be running out of items to boost on Truth Social. Late yesterday morning, he posted a link to a story in The Gateway Pundit from January 6 (!).  The piece from the far-right extremist website reported that Lt. Michael Byrd, who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt as she stormed  the Capitol building during the J6 insurrection, runs a daycare center with his wife that receives federal funds. Beats me why The Donald flagged it on March 23. More disturbing that he’s legitimizing content from such a disreputable operation...Kudos to the latest episode of the Emmy Award-winning HBO Max  series “The Pitt” that contained a timely anti-ICE message. In the powerful episode, two ICE agents bring an injured and apparently undocumented immigrant in handcuffs into the ER, throwing staff and other patients into a frenzy.  Without drifting into left-wing polemic, “The Pit”  made it  impossible to ignore the masked brutality of  ICE agents and the dystopian fear they spread in the name of immigration control.
