TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The right’s gonna love this: Matt Calkins, a Seattle Times sports columnist for more than a decade, resigned after the outlet allegedly spiked his column in support of two high school female athletes who resisted competing against biological males. NewsBusters has the details.  And here’s the rejected column that Calkins posted on his Substack. Worth noting: The NY Post jumped on the story this morning and published a column by Calkins about why he quit and also reprinted the spiked article.  This story may have legs...Gag alert: American Greatness has published a list of the Trump administration’s greatest accomplishment in the last year and concludes that it’s the “most consequential presidency in generations”...Surprising as it seems, the conservative entertainment blog Hollywood in Toto is intrigued by what it describes as a woke, queer slasher film helmed by a trans director. The blog notes that Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is performing well in limited release and may be poised for success as it expands to more theaters this weekend. The blog usually goes thumbs down on any movie that reeks of woke...Weekend watch: The eight-part Hulu series Furious ranks as the darkest program I’ve seen this year. Nonetheless, the story about a damaged rookie female FBI agent on the trail of young woman serial killer in NYC bristles with originality and has moments that are genuinely thrilling. Weekend whiff: Sunday afternoon, Fox broadcasts the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, the Trump-created IndyCar race in the nation’s capital. The cars will zip around the 1.66-mile course through some of DC’s most iconic streets. It’s another sad attempt to turn the capital into a theme park. Not for me....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The NY Times Is Nakedly Lying About Jennifer Hegseth and It’s Pathetic

The opening paragraphs of the recent story about her warn that Jennifer Hegseth is even attending official events and meeting servicemembers. “There has never been a Pentagon spouse quite like Jennifer Hegseth,” the first sentence says. Spoiler alert: There absolutely has.

Shameless Meghan and Prince Harry Are Guaranteed to Jump on AOC’s “Woke 1.0 Was Crazy” Train

source: NY Post

The couple are the perfect avatars for the era defined by illiberal group think and DEI — elevated because of their racial grievances and embrace of victimhood.

Why White, Liberal, Female Lindsay Clancy Supporters Are Proving Why Men Are Right to Want to Remain Single

source: Washington Examiner

By Christopher Tremoglie: While walking home after the date, we came to a street corner where the traffic light had just turned red. Inexplicably, my date, an avowed feminist, insisted on walking through the light. Even more inexplicably, she opted to do so as a car was quickly driving down the street.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Mark your calendars.  September 9 and 10 are the dates for the first ever GOP midterm convention.  It’s being held in Dallas and details on the convention website are few other than Trump has promised to speak both nights (natch!).  But I’ve got questions. What news channels (if any) will provide wall-to-wall coverage? Will mainstream outlets send a correspondent and crew or will they completely ignore it because they think it’s a nothingburger?....Far-right columnist Todd Starnes asserts that drag queens are touring America mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk who was gunned down almost a year ago...Trump is doing his former fixer Michael Cohen a huge favor by agreeing to an interview with the disgraced lawyer. Cohen now hosts a radio show on NYC’s WABC-AM where the recorded interview will interview tonight at 6 p.m. ET. It will also be available Sunday as a podcast. This development marks another twist in Cohen’s peculiar on-again, off-again relationship with Trump.  As you may recall, he went to jail in 2019 for work he did for The Donald as his personal lawyer. Cohen even wrote a scathing book in 2020 – Disloyal: A Memoir – about his experiences working for Trump. Here’s just one sentence from the book that tells you everything about their relationship: “The President of the United States wanted me dead.” This could be one of the strangest Trump interviews of the year, but Cohen's show is sure to benefit from all the publicity...Dept. of news guaranteed to put a smile on your face: Vogue has unveiled its special Dogue issue featuring a celebration of celebrity dogs, profiles of NYC’s most coordinated dog walkers, and a photo essay on the dogs who ride (with their owners) on New York’s subway.  The issue is timed – wait for it – for the dog days of summer...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

By Mark Halperin: Though the progressive wing of the party is ascendant and powerful, it lacks an obvious presidential candidate to carry the banner. Enter AOC.

Deadbeat AOC’s Student-Loan Mooching Should Be a Red Flag to Her 2028 Supporters

Jon Ossoff’s Disgustly Sly and Sexist Attack on Trump Aide Natalie Harp Backfires Big Time

source: NY Post

Throughout his working life, Trump has surrounded himself with strong, competent women such as Wiles, the first female in the job, and Karoline Leavitt, who say he is a fair boss who treats them with respect. His Democrat foes can’t fathom such a thing. Does Ossoff really think a hard-working single professional woman can’t succeed without sleeping with her boss?

ABC News Is a Liberal Bubble, Not a Free-Speech Paragon

source: NewsBusters

The folks at Disney and ABC News are parading around, suing the FCC and boasting about how they are the paragons of freedom of speech and courageous reporting that Trump can’t stand. What they’re really celebrating is putting out a product that resides inside a liberal bubble. They are the ones who cannot stand an opposing point of view.

ABC’s “The View” Can’t Be Both Neutral and a Leftist Propaganda Foghorn

source: The Federalist

Free speech protects ABC’s right to run an all-left-wing panel every weekday morning. It does not entitle ABC to call that panel a news program when convenient and a protected editorial product when it is not.

Would You Pay $80 to Watch MSNBC?

source: FrontPage

MSNBC, sorry currently MS Now, isn’t doing so well. Maybe because now its old viewers, consisting of Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, can’t figure out where it is and keep aimlessly clicking channels in search of MSNBC.

If Jason Arday died at anybody’s hand but his own, the culprits are those who set him up for inevitable humiliation, some of whom are still profiting from his lies, Simon & Schuster chief among them.

The DSA Is Bad for the Jews

source: WND

Hating Israel is an article of faith, even more than public ownership of corporations or taxing the rich.

The Pride Flag and Jewish Self-Sabotage

source: American Thinker

Are temple members being mesmerized by radical left-wing ideology without realizing the ulterior motives behind it? Substituting the beauty of Jewish values for the far-left ideology represented, in part, by a Pride flag is suicidal compassion.
