TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Irony alert: the days are getting lighter as the nation slips into darkness....Ray of sunshine? California Governor Gavin Newsom gave an inspiring address yesterday blasting Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to the streets of Los Angeles. NBC News has the details. In wake of Newsom’s speech, the NY Times opines that he may be the one to lead the Democrats in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian regime. FrontPage theorizes that the Golden State Governor secretly wants to be arrested so that he could vault to the top of the Trump resistance  and “add fuel to the Trump-is-dictator nonsense in the bargain.” Wherever this leads, Newsom owned the news cycle for a few precious hours. (Here’s the speech transcript)...Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is drawing praise from the conservative blog Victory Girls for besmirching LA’s anti-ICE demonstrations.  Fetterman described the unrest as “anarchy and true chaos.” Victory Girls gushed that “Senator Fetterman has the clarity that essentially NONE of his fellow Democrats do. They’ve all been working overtime to gaslight us all into believing that all the protests have been peaceful”...Infowars sounds the alarm about this Saturday’s “No Kings” mass protest and frames it as a coup to topple the current administration. According to the bile-spewing InfoWars, “The leftist legacy media, in coordination with Democrats, is laying the groundwork for an attempted overthrow of America by portraying President Trump as a lawless monarch.” Sheesh.  That’s a lot of crazy to process...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Critics have already done their best to rain on the 2026 parade. They're calling for a mixed observance, with America beating itself up for ever having slavery and for ongoing racism.

Fidelity Month Is the God-Designed Answer to Pride Month

source: Washington Stand

As lewd parades and corporate campaigns push the predictable LGBT agenda this June, a movement is growing to celebrate June under a different name: Fidelity Month. The month in question calls for renewed faithfulness in a few key areas, namely “recommitment to God, our spouses and families, our communities, and country.”

Digital Castration: Why Real Men Should Ditch Dating Apps

This detached style of relationship-building has completely removed masculinity from dating. It begins with a lack of courage. Dating apps remove the age-old anxiety of just going up and talking to her.

The Chilling Official Name of the Abortion Pill Says It All

source: Western Journal

The abortion drug is ominously called RU-486. “Are you for the 86-ing of unborn children?” is a perfectly valid question to ask in 2025, given mifepristone’s rampant use.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Linguistic dilemma.  How should media outlets describe the opposition activities in Los Angeles? Demonstrations? Protests? Civil unrest?  One thing is for certain: most right-wing outlets that I’m reading today are using the word riot. In fact, it seems that it’s the noun of choice....Another prominent name is joining the crowded field of right-wing podcasting.  The NY Post’s conservative and outspoken columnist Miranda Devine (also a Fox News contributor) will get her own program “Pod Force One” beginning tomorrow.  The first guest on the weekly program is President Donald Trump.  Wonder if she’ll grill him about the National Guard in Los Angeles.  (Fat chance!) Future guests include what the Post calls Washington disruptors...CNN’s Andrew Kirell was one of my tablemates at last night’s Mirror Awards dinner in New York honoring reporting about the media in 2024. In this morning’s Reliable Sources newsletter, Kirell captured a few key remarks of honoree Bob Costas's fiery speech disparaging legacy media brands like ABC and CBS for bending the knee to POTUS.  He also took aim at Trump, per Kirell, saying that he “has absolutely no regard and, in fact, has contempt for basic American principles and common decency.” It was the best Mirror Awards speech ever and I’ve seen them all. Bravo Costas. Mediaite also has a recap of the speech.  And media maven Rachel Sklar recorded the last 10 minutes of the Costa address and posted it to YouTube...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

LA Riots Fizzle as Overwhelming Force Shows Who’s the Boss

source: RedState

California Governor Gavin Newsom, LA Mayor Karen Bass and the entire extremist California progressive class have egg on their faces Monday as anti-ICE protests were neutered by the president’s shaming of Golden State officials to take action, his decision to send in the National Guard and the Marines, and his refusal to tolerate violence.

Kamala Stands with LA Rioters

source: FrontPage

While Gov. Gavin Newsom has at least publicly tried to walk a line, condemning some of the violence from the riots, while focusing most of his fire on Trump, Kamala, his likely rival in 2028, isn’t even pretending to disavow the violent riots in Los Angeles.

Lies, Flags and Firebombs Characterize Another “Mostly Peaceful” Riot in LA

CNN Emphasizes LA Riots Were Initially “Peaceful”

source: NewsBusters

While these protests have been labeled "demonstrations" by California Governor, Gavin Newsom and the media, peaceful would be fake news. CNN would have you believe that these protests are peaceful demonstrations, and that President Trump's decision to call in the National Guard is government overreach and authoritarian
