TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Most woke film review ever. That’s how Hollywood-in-Toto describes film critic Marya Gates’ critique of the rom-com One Night Only for the RogerEbert.com website.  Gates writes that the film “is everything that’s troubling about the current conservative capitalist hellscape that is the United States of America writ large.” Here’s the full review so you can decide for yourself... Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of firebrand congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has landed in legal hot water and it’s not for the first time.  He was just arrested on several felony charges relating to alleged sexual exploitation of a child stemming from a 2024 incident.  “The arrest could not come at a worse political moment for Rep. Boebert,” observes the far-right The Gateway Pundit. “The Colorado Republican is defending her seat in the state’s 4th Congressional District while facing Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired Navy veteran. Boebert has also endured a public rupture with President Donald Trump after campaigning for Rep. Thomas Massie against Trump’s preferred candidate.” Boebert gained fame before entering politics as the owner of a gun-themed Colorado restaurant where the waitstaff carried firearms...Podcaster-in-Chief: Next month, Barack Obama will release a six-part podcast series via Audible called “A Great Book with Barack Obama” in which the former president discusses six books that have inspired him.  Titles include “The Fire Next Time,” by James Baldwin; “Song of Solomon,” by Toni Morrison; and – a personal favorite of mine – “All the King’s Men,” by Robert Penn Warren. (Variety). I'd be willing to bet that Donald Trump would never release a competing great books podcast series based on his favorites...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Sophie Cunningham Gets a Forearm to the Face and It’s Called “White Privilege”

Cunningham is white. DiJonai Carrington, who committed the foul, is black. In Carrington’s telling, the ejection itself becomes evidence of systemic bias rather than accountability for unnecessary contact. This is not analysis. It is an excuse that weaponizes race to evade responsibility.

On the other hand, Sophie Cunningham attended a public high school before studying at the University of Missouri, which charges a mere $16,000 a year. Cunningham didn’t pay as much for her entire college education as Carrington paid for just one year at Stanford. So, the question is, exactly who had the “privilege” between them?

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Over the weekend, Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, was confirmed as the U.S. attorney general. Worth noting: In 1961, JFK appointed his younger brother Robert Kennedy as his Attorney General. Critics charged nepotism and questioned his lack of legal experience because he never practiced law. (Politico).  However, RFK was ultimately viewed as a consequential Attorney General, especially effective in fighting organized crime and civil rights enforcement  (JFK Library and Museum) ...Dept. of No Surprises: The Daily Beast has conducted a thorough investigation of Melania Trump’s workload during her husband’s second term as president and concluded it’s “shockingly light.” Among the details revealed: FLOTUS has appeared in public only 38 times this year.  But that’s probably better than her 2025 record, per the Beast, when she appeared in public only 47 times after the January 20 inauguration....World’s Dumbest Socialist: That’s what the Daily Signal’s national correspondent Tony Kinnett calls Francesca Hong, the socialist running for governor of Wisconsin...Another thing to worry about: Artificial intelligence is now able to create viruses not found in nature. Cue the doomsday music. (NY Times)... Rolling Stone magazine published a profile of controversial far-left political activist Hasan Piker, who once said that America deserved 9/11.  The article questions why everyone is so afraid of the progressive streamer.  The National Review characterizes the article as a swoon...Jill Biden’s former  press secretary, Michael LaRosa, triggered the left by tweeting his preference for Michigan Republican senate candidate Mike Rogers over far-left Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed.  (Daily Wire)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
