TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Welcome to Black History Month.  Wonder how it will be acknowledged by the Trump White House 2.0?   The Pentagon, led by Pete Hegseth, has already pushed for the suspension of events recognizing Black History Month. Secretary Brylcreem has Juneteenth, Holocaust Remembrance Day and LGBTQ Pride Month in his crosshairs as well (MSNBC)…The conservative op-ed page of Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal took deadly aim at The Donald’s tariff assault on Canada, Mexico and China with this January 31 headline: The Dumbest Trade War in History. And that whopper of an editorial was followed up with this op-ed last night: The Dumbest Trade War Fallout Begins. Predictably, Trump called  the highly influential news outlet the Fake News Wall Street Journal.  Memo to Trump: these are opinion pieces, not news articles....Others from the right trashed the trade war including the National Review and the Washington Examiner…The women of “The View” are “clucking with hate” about Trump’s 27-year-old press secretary Karoline Leavitt because she’s good looking and young.  So charges Liberty Paige of SteveGruber.com…Is Trump 3.0  a possibility as Politico suggested last week? Fuggetaboutit, says Toni Williams of Victory Girls. She posits that MAGA Nation doesn’t need a third Trump term because the GOP has plenty of young talent, including J.D. Vance, Ron DeSantis, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders…Christianity Today, the evangelical magazine founded by the late Rev. Billy Graham, gets slammed by the Western Journal for publishing  “sob stories” about Trump’s immigration policies…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Woke Grammys Show How Out of Touch Entertainment Industry Is

source: FrontPage

The Grammys celebrated its out-of-touchness by thumbing its nose at country music fans and then platforming Shakira and Lady Gaga to attack Trump and stand by illegal aliens and transgender activists. The sum of it though would add up to ‘who cares’.

De-Wokeifying Government is Easier Said Than Done

source: National Review

The snafu over the OMB memo was a reminder that de-wokeifying the government isn’t a matter of snapping one’s fingers. Only careful planning, precise language, consistent messaging, and effective legislation will rein in the federal Leviathan. And wipe the smile off Schumer’s face.

Gender Industrial Complex Goes into Full Retreat

The Hasbro Children’s Hospital, an affiliate of Brown University Health, has removed a webpage publicizing their pediatric gender clinic services, which included puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, from its website.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Shocking but not surprising: No right wing media outlet that I surveyed this morning slammed Trump’s vile comments implying that DEI was the cause of the DC air tragedy…Is it just me, or was this January the longest, most awful January this century? So many terrible events crammed into 31 days.  Can’t wait until it’s in my rear view mirror….Worth noting: National Review criticized both Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. for being unsuitable candidates for their powerful federal positions and backpedaling just enough to secure their nominations…Natalie Winters, the 23-year-old executive editor and co-host of the podcast “Bannon’s War Room,” reportedly the youngest journalist to attend White House press briefings, is defending herself from detractors, per Outkick. If you check out the images of Ms. Winters (especially the one standing in the White House driveway) you’ll understand the uproar.  She’s also taking heat for her views on transgenderism, Islam and her spelling flubs…Not on my playlist: The pro-Trump song “Daddy’s Home” is a fan favorite in Trumpworld, sung by Canadian MAGA rapper Tom MacDonald.  An almost unrecognizable Roseanne Barr shows up in the video….Weekend Watch: September 5 recreates the slaughter of 11 Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics after Palestinian terrorists stormed their living quarters and held them hostage. Almost all of the tense scenes take place in the control room of ABC Sports which was broadcasting the games.  It’s a tight, taut drama with a gut punch that is especially relevant today.  In theaters now….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Blaming Trump Ain’t What It Used to Be

source: PJ Media

In the face of tragedy, leftists once again reveal themselves to be soulless political morons. Upon awakening to the news of Wednesday air disaster, the worst of the lefties rushed to blame Trump for everything. But using Trump as one's go-to bad guy doesn't have the cultural or political cachet that it used to.

Democrats couldn't wait to score points with lies.

Media Knock Trump Mention of DEI Hiring at Post-Crash Presser

source: NewsBusters

With Trump back in office, the hostile media have gone back to showing interest in presidential assertions made “without evidence." This Trump coverage classic made its return as the media melted down over Trump calling out hiring practices at the FAA that placed a heavy emphasis on DEI. In so doing, the media actually ignored a ton of evidence.

Let’s Get the Facts Straight in the DC Plane Crash Before We Play the Blame Game

source: NY Post

Within hours of Wednesday night’s horrific midair collision at Reagan National Airport, some Democrats were blaming President Trump’s proposed budget cuts and workforce executive orders.

Team Trump Is Winning the Media Battle

source: The Federalist

The reason the entire Trump administration is successfully fielding absurd questions so well is because they understand these ‘journalists’ are just the propaganda wing of the Democrat party.

Trump 2.0 Is Miles Ahead of the Democrats

source: Washington Examiner

Perhaps Trump simply learned how to combat the Left’s tricks, or he is surrounded by far more competent advisers this time around. Maybe the bullet that nearly killed him  focused the president in ways not seen in his several decades in the public eye. Whatever the case may be, this version of Trump is a far more effective weapon against the Left than many thought possible.

Trump, Milei and Orbán Lead a Conservative Resurgence Worldwide

Across continents, leftist elites face growing resistance from right-wing populism and nationalist leaders aiming to restore local control.

It’s the End of an Error for DEI

source: Daily Caller

Pretty soon the remnants of the DEI mob will demand that the Statue of Liberty be taken down because she stands right there in New York Harbor, so near our most heavily populated Jewish communities, giving the Nazi salute for all the world to see.

Jim Acosta Bails After CNN Won’t Let Him Peddle His Fiction in Cushy Timeslot

source: SteveGruber.com

The man who made a career out of “truth-telling” (which, for Jim, mostly meant grandstanding, interrupting, and spinning narratives to fit his anti-Trump agenda) has quit because CNN doesn’t want to air his brand of “truth” anymore – at least not in a time slot that Acosta finds acceptable after giving them almost 18 years of his life.

Jim Acosta’s New Show on Substack Is Even Worse Than Expected

Former CNN host promises to 'bro out' in premiere episode plagued by charmless banter, technical difficulties

Did the Democrat Calendar End on January 6?

source: Conservative View from NH

At some point, the Democrats must abandon this obsession on January 6 and join the effort to return this country to its greatness. The weaponization of the government against Catholics, parents of students, and former Republican politicians and their families must stop immediately.

Against all odds, she is winning—and exposing the cowardice of her fellow elites and the viciousness of the transgender movement in the process.

Could Cancel Culture Crush Karla Sofia Gascon’s Oscar Hopes?

source: Hollywood in Toto

“Emilia Perez” star Karla Sofia Gascon is in hot water. The nominee’s past social media musings have “resurfaced,” and they’re far from progressive. The posts in question clash with the arts community’s views, to put it mildly.
