TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Donald Trump’s MAGA-Fest Destiny knows no bounds: After setting his sights on Greenland, Panama and Canada, he has added Gaza to his unhinged imperialism designs.  So much for isolationism…If Trump floated the U.S. taking control of Gaza pre-November 5, would the election have gone the other way?  Trump support among some Arab-Americans would have evaporated. Indeed, plenty of voters might have cast a wary eye on the nation’s military being bogged down in another global hotspot ...The conservative sports website Outkick has emerged as an unlikely critic of Trump’s shocking suggestions about U.S. intervention in Gaza and plans to resettle its nearly two million residents.  “It would cut directly across his ‘America First’ mindset,” opines David Hookstead.  In addition, Outkick reports that UFC superstar Sean Strickland just says no to Trump’s off-the-wall idea…Add the Washington Examiner to the tiny list of rightward outlets wary of Trump’s Gaza gambit.  The Washington Examiner suggests that annexing Gaza would jeopardize American security interests…So much for folks from the left to the political middle deserting mainstream media outlets after Trump’s November victory. I wrote about the phenomena last month in this article for the Columbia Journalism Review.  That trend may be swinging back. The New York Times released its Q4 financial results and disclosed that it added 350,000 digital subscribers in the quarter for a 4.4% year-over-year rise. Just wondering: how many of the new subscribers were some of the 200,000 Washington Post readers who canceled their subscriptions after Jeff Bezos nixed a Kamala endorsement for president at the fabled DC media outlet?… If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

About Those Beachfront Gaza Condos

source: Wall Street Journal

We doubt Mr. Trump has any appetite to send in the 82nd Airborne to occupy Gaza. We know the American people don’t. But perhaps his pitch will cause the rest of the world to do more to support a post-Hamas government in Gaza that would let Palestinians live in a territory that is better than hell on earth.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Scary: A cadre of young engineers under the direction of Elon Musk are assisting the richest man in the world in his takeover of  our government, according to Wired.  In another Wired article, the publication asserts that one of those Musk acolytes, 25-year-old Marko Elez, has “admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more”…The Free Press, the red-hot right-wing upstart outlet, headed by neocon icon Bari Weiss offers  a Donald Trump 2.0 survival guide for Democrats.  Here are two suggestions per The Free Press: partner with Trump when he’s right on issues like on DEI; and avoid name-calling especially the F-bomb (fascist)…MAGA-nation would be wise to bone up on the new Chinese AI program Deep Seek and the looming bird flu epidemic. Both represent an iceberg in the Make America Great Again shipping lane. So sez me...Joe Biden goes Hollywood? Not quite. Yesterday, the ex-POTUS inked a pact with the powerful Tinseltown talent agency CAA. Expect book deals and lucrative speaking gigs for the ex-prez (Breitbart)… Dept. of Missing Links: Yesterday, I had the wrong links for two important Wall Street Journal articles critical of Trump’s trade war.  Here are the correct links: Dumbest Trade War in History and Dumbest Trade War Fallout Begins. And speaking of Rupert-Murdoch-powered publications dumping on the Trump administration, the NY Post nailed it last night with an op-ed stating that RFK Jr. is “not fit to lead” the Department of Health and Human Services.  I’m no fan of Murdoch’s politics, however I applaud his WSJ and NY Post this week for showing some spine…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Journalists Are Sad Because Trump Took Away Their Special Cubbies at the Pentagon

source: Washington Free Beacon

Some of the poor journalists might have to take their laptops into the bathroom and file their stories while sitting on a big boy potty, which seems like a far more appropriate setting given the quality of their so-called reporting

Scott Jennings Continues to School Clueless Libs on CNN

source: Townhall

CNN’s Scott Jennings has the patience of a saint. He’s waging a one-man war against liberalism on the notoriously anti-Trump network. He’s all alone as other conservative guests are either squishes or anti-Trump Republicans. Without question, he’s the sole voice of reason on the network, which is laughably biased against the president.

Why Is Legacy Media Attacking Karla Sofia Gascón?

source: Hollywood in Toto

It could be due to the film’s legion of critics. “Emilia Pérez” may be woke on the surface, but some progressives are aghast at the film’s content. GLAAD is not on board with “Emilia Pérez,” for starters.

RFK Jr. Is Saving Lives and Making America Healthy Again

source: Washington Times

By Newt Gingrich: If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can launch a meaningful national focus on health rather than sickness — and prevention rather than treatment — he will spur one of the great revolutions we need to make America healthy again. Every citizen should contact their senators and demand RFK’s confirmation.

RFK Jr. Could Find Solutions to Actually Make Us Better

DEI’s Demise Long Overdue

source: Newsmax

Cultural Marxists believe that progress is best achieved by identifying the oppressors and the oppressed. White heterosexual male Christians are the oppressors. In real life, this means that poor white guys from the hills of West Virginia are the bad guys, and rich black lesbians from Hollywood are the good guys.

Dems Love Illegal Aliens, No Matter How Vicious

source: Daily Signal

Democrats have learned less than nothing since Election Day. In their eyes, illegal aliens, no matter how bloodthirsty, are all heroes. And Trump, no matter how hard he works to shield Americans from these hoodlums, is still the villain.
