TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Softball at the Super Bowl: Fox News’s Bret Baier’s Donald Trump  pre-game interview was as one-sided as the Philadelphia Eagles crushing defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs. Poynter's Tom Jones gave Baier’s bended knee sitdown with The Donald a big thumbs down…Would there be a Trump 2.0 if he had campaigned on the extreme MAGA-fest destiny measures he’s suggested (Canada becoming the 51st state, etc.) and making Elon Musk the nation’s defacto COO?  I’d have loved to see him defend his anti-democratic  positions in a debate with Kamala Harris. Ben Rhodes posits likewise in  this NY Times op-ed headlined “This Isn’t the Donald Trump America Elected”…The conservative editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal continues to hammer away at Trump.  Yesterday, the WSJ’s Mary Anastasia O’Grady took aim at Trump's claim that Chinese soldiers are working on the Panama Canal.  “Nonsense,” she huffed. “The Trump administration is making stuff up, swinging a big stick, and humiliating a friend”… FrontPage supports Trump's looney idea of resettling Gazans in Somalia because “nothing would make Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) madder”…Here’s a fringe concept that’s picking up steam in MAGA-nation: “pronatalism,”  a movement advocating that couples produce as many offspring as possible. The Washington Post profiled one prolific couple where the wife, who has endured several risky pregnancies, was quoted as saying, “I’m happy to die in labor.”  Worth noting: Elon Musk, the father of 11 children, is a pronatalist and so is JD Vance…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

At USAID, Funding for Terror-Tied Groups Goes Back Years

source: Washington Free Beacon

In some cases, USAID fought to conceal how taxpayer funds were spent. And when it came to Israel, officials recalled battling USAID over funding for groups that worked to undermine the Jewish state or maintained ties to terror organizations.

Hawaii’s Demented Democratic Resistance

Instead of addressing the Aloha State’s multitude of dysfunctions, the government is prioritizing fighting Donald Trump.

How to Commit Democratic Party Suicide

source: American Greatness

The Democrats' radical overreach, election losses, and Musk-fueled government exposés have left them flailing, doubling down on failure instead of recalibrating for a political comeback.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Has to Skip Breakfasts, Work Weekends Because of Trump

source: Daily Wire

Biden, by comparison, spent approximately 40% of his presidency on vacation, often leaving reporters with little to cover except what he was not doing.

The Lefty Media Exodus Is Upon Us

source: SteveGruber.com

The grande dame of leftist propaganda, 78-year-old Andrea Mitchell, is finally hanging up her microphone at MSNBC. After decades of spinning tales for the Democratic Party, Mitchell is stepping aside from her daily show – though we’re sure she’ll still be available for a fawning Biden sit-down if he can remember her name (or his own).

DEI Could Lead to Terrifying Consequences for Airline Passengers

source: Daily Caller

The fact that the Army conspicuously delayed releasing the name of one of the Black Hawk helicopter pilots, Capt. Rebecca Lobach certainly raised a few eyebrows. Perhaps it feared her background as a social function volunteer in the Biden White House and her work as a certified Sexual Harassment and Victim Advocate would lead to unfair suspicion.

Now Is the Time to Defund Planned Parenthood

source: National Review

It would be another major step in establishing a culture of human dignity and ensuring every citizen’s unalienable rights.

Federal Employees “Angered” at Having to Obey the President

source: The Federalist

Perhaps those among the committed left can muster the appropriate pearl-clutching regarding a legitimately elected president exerting control over an executive branch that falls within his constitutionally defined authority.

Greetings! Target in the crosshairs: The American Family Association has ended its nine-year boycott of Target. The ultra-right organization had targeted the retail chain because of its gender-neutral bathroom policy. While Target ‘s lavatory policy still stands, the AFA boasted that its pressure campaign succeeded in part as Target added single-occupancy restrooms and cut the amount of LGBTQ Pride Month merchandise it promoted. Meanwhile, civil rights groups are boycotting Target for pulling back on its DEI initiatives…Interested in a late summer Norwegian holiday? The right wing Media Research Council offers a seven-day Holland America cruise to the Land of the Midnight Sun featuring  MRC founder L. Brent Bozell III, Kevin “Hercules” Sorbo and veteran conservative commentator Cal Thomas. Asking my accountant if the price of the cruise would be a legit business expense for me...More travel news. Starting June 15, United Airlines offers twice-weekly flights from Newark International Airport to Greenland.  The service runs through September 23 just before the onset of the country’s harsh  winter. Maybe before then The Donald will have made Greenland the 51st state and you won’t need your passport...Weekend Watch: Of course, it’s the 59th Super Bowl but beware of the guacamole-curdling pre-gameTrump interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier.  If you’re looking for relief from the sports hoopla, I’d give a soft recommendation to Here, starring Tom Hanks.  Featured on Netflix, the Robert Zemeckis-directed film is the tale of family life shot in the living room of the same house through the decades. I found “Here” to be a slow-moving heart-warmer – more of a golf cart ride than a roller coaster -- but a welcome respite in these troubling times…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Let’s Not Dismiss Trump’s Quest for Expansion

source: Newsmax

If America acquires Greenland, returns the Panama Canal, and merges with Canada, as Trump advocates, not only will it counter adversaries like China, but U.S. power, prosperity, and national security will be secured for decades, if not centuries, to come

The U.S. Needs Greenland and Access to Its Resources

source: The Federalist

Greenland isn’t just an Arctic landmass — it’s a North American strategic economic and military asset that America cannot afford to ignore. The time to secure it is now.

From NYC Mogul to Middle East Mogul?

source: SteveGruber.com

Once the pesky issue of inhabitants is resolved, Trump’s vision is to level the existing structures and rebuild Gaza into a luxurious destination. Think Las Vegas meets Dubai. Trump, ever the visionary, sees this as a place where “the world’s people” can live, presumably in peace, harmony, and five-star accommodations.

Trump’s Plan for the “Riviera of the Middle East” Could Work

source: Human Events

In the last forty years, there has been the creation of an entire industry in Indian gaming casinos. At first, there were significant pushbacks from many tribal members who didn’t want gambling on their land. But that was overcome by the casinos creating specific policies.

Fortress America: Removing 50 Million “Migrants” and Building a Sovereign Homeland for U.S. Citizens

source: Border Hawk News

The United States is facing an opportunity to return to greatness as a nation that exists primarily to benefit its citizens, not those of the rest of the world.

Trump Should Shutter USAID

source: American Spectator

Development economics is a hotbed for corruption.

USAID Went Woke and Destroyed Itself

source: Fox News

USAID, the U.S. government’s vehicle to disburse tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded foreign aid, is a troubling tale of a government agency going off the rails ideologically and losing both bipartisan political support in Congress and the trust of the American people.

USAID Sent Over $18 Billion to Islamic Terror States

source: FrontPage

This is why USAID is a national security threat.

Trump Is Restoring the Presidency to the Founder’s Vision

source: Daily Caller

By Charlie Kirk: He is restoring the Article II presidency, the presidency as it is described by our founders in the Constitution. In a real Article II presidency, it is the president who executes the laws, sets foreign policy, manages federal law enforcement, and controls the military.
