Greetings! Offensive! Earlier this week, ICE launched “Operation Catch of the Day” in Maine, per Big League Politics. The federal law enforcement trawling expedition’s aim is to snag those undocumented immigrants identified by ICE as the most dangerous living in the Pine Tree State where much of the economy is anchored by the fishing industry. ICE marketers may think the operation’s moniker is clever, but it reveals the lack of humanity driving this federal goon squad. Furthermore, as any fisherman can tell you, when casting a wide net, innocent species often get mistakenly captured..Bari Weiss, the embattled anti-woke rookie chief of the now more MAGA-friendly CBS News, announced that she’s pausing her “Honestly, with Bari Weiss” podcast.” My guess is she’s too busy defending her dismantling of the legendary news organization to host a podcast. It appears as if her last program was yesterday. According to my research, she’s got about 13,000 subscribers on the Castbox podcast platform. Not too shabby, still not enough to land “Honestly” on TheRighting’s top 20 list (well below #20 “The War Room with Steve Bannon” which has attracted 20,000+ subs on Castbox)...Weekend Watch: I’ll be in DC this weekend glued to the Weather Channel and local  news outlets in anticipation of a giant Sunday snowstorm barreling across the country.

See the entire top 100 list here...Washington Free Beacon takes a dig at former Biden press secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre in an article describing her post-White House ambitions. KJP stumbled out of the box last year with the publication of her poorly received book Independent, which offered a look inside the White House. But that critical setback has apparently not deterred her. According to the Beacon, she’s acquired the rights to the true story of the first Black female journalists – Alice Dunnigan and Ethel Payne -- covering the White House.  “Maybe her former boss, Netflix producer Barack Obama, is looking for a tax write-off,” snarked the Beacon...Book-critic-in-chief: On Truth Social, Trump touts the new book by Breitbart editor-at-large Peter Schweizer.  The tome’s title says all you need to know about it: “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon”...Also just published: The nonfiction book with the year’s worst title: “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government”...Bari Weiss’s The Free Press says that microplastics aren’t killing us.  Man, I wish that statement was true....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
