TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Another week, another horror. Last night, Donald Trump named flame-throwing ultra-right-wing podcast superstar Dan Bongino as the #2 person at the FBI.  It feels like Trump is casting a reality show with telegenic and loquacious characters instead of staffing an administration facing serious challenges home and abroad. An ex-police officer and Secret Service veteran, Bongino’s conspiracy-laden hit podcast ranks #3 on TheRighting’s exclusive list of right wing podcasts. My guess is that the program goes dark while Bongino handles his day job at the FBI chasing down the opposition to Trump’s administration.  But in the upside-down world of MAGA, it’s possible that Bongino retains his powerful podcast platform…RFK Jr. keeps getting slammed by the conservative op-ed  pages of Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal and NY Post.  This weekend, the Journal noted with some alarm that the newly-minted director of the Dept. of Health and Human Services is already advancing his anti-vaccine agenda.  And last week, a column by NY Post’s Doug Harsanyl blasted the conspiracy-spewing Kennedy in an op-ed with the headline: “Misinformation Alert – RFK Jr. Keeps Peddling His Detestable Autism Lies"…A new book about Trump from best-selling scribe Michael Wolff drops tomorrow. Judging from this weekend’s rave NY Times review, it sounds like another Wolff  must-read.  All or Nothing is “undeniably gripping,” writes Times reviewer  Nicholas Niarchos, “a veritable harvest of slime, sycophancy and sleaze that tells the story of Trump 2.0"…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Joy Reid Is Finally Finished

source: Western Journal

Embittered MSNBC foghorn Joy Reid has been fired from the left-wing network amid tumbling ratings for her race-hustling program, “The ReidOut.” The ouster of the ironically-named, joyless TV host is part of a major overhaul being promulgated by MSNBC’s new president. In yet another hilarious irony, the race-baiting harpy was fired during “Black History Month.”

Slumping Liberal Media Figures Should Take a Few Days Off

source: Washington Examiner

It’s a truism in baseball that you can’t swing your way out of a slump. Sometimes, it’s best to take a few games off to clear your mind. That’s the advice we’d give to a few prominent liberal news anchors: Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, Margaret Brennan of CBS News, and Kaitlan Collins of CNN. The trio have been whiffing badly on live TV throughout the first month of Trump’s second term.

Institutional Resistance to Trump Proves the Left’s Disdain for Democracy

We’ll See You in Court

source: Conservative View from NH

Oh my, did Governor Janet Mills really yell out to Trump that she would “See you in court?” It must have been a slip of the tongue or an out-of-body experience. Nobody in their right frame of mind would be so foolish or disrespectful to the President in his house. But, yup, good old Janet got plenty of prime-time coverage on Friday for being the nitwit who opened her mouth before engaging her brain.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings!  In recognition of Kash Patel’s confirmation as FBI chief, I’ve chosen my word of the week: Kakistocracy.  It’s defined as a government run by the most unqualified and unscrupulous citizens.  Ring any bells?...Trump is sounding increasingly serious about making Canada the 51st state.  Last night, in a Truth Social post before the politically freighted 4 Nations Face-Off hockey game between the U.S. and Canada, Trump said that Canada, “will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished and very important Fifty First State.” In the same megalomaniacal post, Trump invited “Governor” Trudeau to watch the game with him in Washington, a major diss of the Canadian prime minister.  This crazy bile aimed at a country that has been such a staunch American ally is shameful.  USA Today sports columnist Erik Brady spoke bluntly for many of his fellow Americans in yesterday’s timely column; “Feel free to hate me but I’m rooting for Team Canada in the 4 Nations”… February Fireworks Alert: Trump plans to deliver a fiery speech tomorrow to cap the three-day CPAC conference in Maryland.  CPAC, a political Woodstock for conservatives, has a stellar nationalist lineup, including  JD Vance, border big shot Tom Homan and a host of European ultra-right-wingers such as Nigel Farage…Megyn Kelly for president in 2028? So predicts snarky Fox News host Jesse Watters who thinks the right wing superstar podcaster is positioned for a White House run, reports Mediaite. Watters also believes Sec. of Defense Pete “Brylcreem” Hegseth has a shot too…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

NPR Is National Public Relations for the War on Trump

At the top of every hour, hundreds of taxpayer-subsidized National Public Radio stations in 50 states transmit leftist public relations, badly disguised as news. You can get talking points jammed in your ear on your rush-hour commute.

How “60 Minutes” Lost Its Journalistic Integrity

There was a time, not long ago, that CBS’ “60 Minutes” was widely regarded as the gold standard of broadcast journalism. Regrettably, not so much anymore.

Why That “SNL” Tom Hanks MAGA Sketch Matters

source: Hollywood in Toto

No one on the Right is calling for “SNL” to be censored. To note the obvious isn’t being a snowflake or part of the alleged “woke right.” It’s calling out an intellectually dishonest show that long ago shed its legacy.

The Corporate Media Rediscover Inflation

JD Vance Keeps Groin-Kicking Dem Sacred Cows
