Greetings! I have a dark theory why Mike Waltz took the fall yesterday for the Signalgate fiasco instead of Pete “Hair Gel” Hegseth.  My spidey-sense tells me that Trump’s end game is to declare martial law once the demonstrations grow in numbers and ferocity over the next 18 months.  He will then call on the military to maintain “order” under a provision in the Insurrection Act. Then the military, under Hegseth’s command, will follow orders.  Hegseth owes his undeserved status and power completely to Trump and he will carry out the orders without hesitation…David Horowitz, conservative icon and editor of FrontPage has died. He was a radical leftist who famously and publicly turned staunch conservative (Daily Signal and NY Times).  Worth noting: His son Ben is a partner in the powerful Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz…Foxnews.com continues to occasionally feature Dem politicians writing in its opinion pages.  Two days ago it published an op-ed by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) who called for the end of the corruption that he said marked Trump’s first 100 days. Other prominent Dem pols whose views have been featured on the widely read conservative website include Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Illinois Governor JD Pritzker, according to Mediaite. Worth noting: Foxnews.com has op-eds today from Secretary of Everything Marco Rubio and Kellyanne Conway…Weekend watch: I need something calm and soothing, so today I’m recommending the Poppy the Pygmy Hippo Cam coming to you live from the Richmond, VA, zoo…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! Good-bye April, hello May. And that means June Pride Month is a month away, and a mere 31 days to prep for a barrage of thinly disguised negativity toward the LGBTQ community from the Trump White House and its MAGA-media enablers…Missing billionaire found! In the wake of Tesla’s dismal first quarter financial results, Elon Musk has been mostly M.I.A. until yesterday, when the world’s richest man took a seat at Donald Trump’s cabinet meeting. The disastrous DOGE billionaire boss, thankfully, is about to exit government service…Trump-branded fragrances can be pre-ordered, but get ready to dig deep into your wallet for The Donald-infused scents. A bottle of cologne or perfume starts at the head-spinning price of $199. Smells fishy to me…During his first 100 whirlwind days, FDR passed 15 significant acts of legislation that helped the country climb back from the Great Depression. It included the Emergency Banking Act, the Federal Emergency Relief and the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Now that’s an impressive first 100 days…Dept. of Stick & Sticks: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker stepped into the national political limelight last weekend to attack Trump and got slimed by the right. American Thinker is leading the charge against the hefty Democrat heavyweight. The Thinker nastily suggests Pritzker’s campaign slogan should be “Make America Morbidly Obese Again.”  The tailor tag in his suit reads (according to the Thinker), “Peoria Tent & Awning”…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
