Greetings! Trump dropped a vile Memorial Day grievance bomb yesterday. If you can stomach it, look at the first 109-word, all-caps run-on sentence of his ugly screed that he posted on Truth Social: “Happy Memorial Day to all including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country through warped radical left minds, who allowed 21,000,000 million (sic) to illegally enter our country, many of them being criminals and the mentally insane, through an open border that only an incompetent president would approve, and through judges who are on a mission to keep murderers, drug dealers, rapists, gang members, and released prisoners from all over the world, in our country so they can rob, murder and rape again – all protected by these USA hating judges who suffer from an ideology that is sick, and very dangerous for our country.” What a demented, hate-filled rant delivered on a day meant to remember the nation’s soldiers who gave their lives for our country. Please note that instead of writing “21 million” he wrote “21,000,000 million”...The editorial boards of two Rupert Murdoch-owned publications published pieces criticizing President Trump over the holiday weekend. The NY Post scolded Trump for his erratic tariff policies.  In a chastising editorial the editors wrote, “It’s one thing for your enemies to find you unpredictable, another for your friends to worry that you’re acting on pure whim.” The Wall Street Journal gave a big thumbs down to the Mad King’s attempt to bar foreign students from attending Harvard.  “This will be terribly damaging to America’s ability to attract talented young people who bring their enterprise and intellectual capital to the U.S.,” the WSJ opined. “Non-citizens accounted for more than half of doctoral degrees in AI-related fields in 2022”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! Word of the day: kleptocracy.  That’s one of the ways to describe President Trump’s posh dinner last night for investors in his $TRUMP meme coin business.  Attendees forked over millions to attend.  The Wall Street Journal reported that the event generated nearly $150 million in sales to his company...Dept. of No Surprises:  I’m sure you won’t be shocked to learn of another embarrassing Oval Office gaffe by POTUS.  During Wednesday’s hostile meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump thought he was showing images of dead white farmers from South Africa.  The images actually came from Reuters footage in Congo that was published in the right-wing online magazine American Thinker..  Oops!....Weekend Watch: While it’s not a mindless popcorn movie to enjoy over the long weekend that kicks off the summer of 2025, I nonetheless urge you to stream the three-part Netflix documentary American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden. It’s an action-packed three-hour series filled with plenty of heroes and one nasty, bearded villain hiding on the other side of the world. While we know the outcome (spoiler alert: bin Laden gets shot and killed in his compound in Pakistan by a U.S. Seal team), the series bristles with tension.  It’s equal parts thriller and history lesson. President Obama gambled his legacy and second term by greenlighting the risky operation.  So on this Memorial Day weekend, it’s appropriate that we salute the 23 members of the Seal Team Six who risked their lives in defense of America...Enjoy the long weekend.  I’m bringing “Original Sin” to the beach. See you Tuesday...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
