TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings!  Adios NBC Today Show co-host Hoda Kolb.  Today marked the last day of her full-time job at NBC News.  I was initially not a Hoda fan when she was named co-host in 2018 but I quickly grew to respect and even admire her skills as deft broadcaster with a light touch who could also handle hard news…Former Fox News prime time host Bill O’Reilly, who exited the network almost eight years ago in disgrace, was a guest at a recent Mar-a-Lago strategy session with the president-elect.  Mr. O’Reilly provides some details of the knee-bending meeting on his website…Podcaster/comedian Adam Carolla apparently applied to be a Los Angeles firefighter several years ago but was told he had to wait seven years because he wasn’t Black, Hispanic or female. (Hollywood in Toto)…Pizzagate gunman Edgar Welch was shot by North Carolina cops during a traffic stop on January 4.  He died two days later. Mr. Welch, who believed right wing conspiracy theories that a child sex trafficking ring was run out of a DC-area pizza restaurant, fired a rifle inside the restaurant in 2016.  He was sentenced to four years in prison by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.  (Gateway Pundit)…Weekend Watch:  As a Bob Dylan fan I’m heartily recommending A Complete Unknown.  Timothée Chalamet steals the show as the young troubadour roaming Greenwich Village, breaking hearts and shattering conventions.  To get the proper context of the movie, I suggest viewers also watch the Coen Brothers Inside Llewyn Davis and the mockumentary A Mighty Wind, which gives the folk scene a well-deserved but humorous skewering…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

What Los Angeles spent its money on while cutting its fire budget.

How California’s DEI-Obsessed Anarchotyrants Threw Money at Everything But Water and Hydrants

California has enormously expensive and intrusive government that can’t even provide firefighters or water when your neighborhood burns down.

LA Gave Away “Surplus” Fire Fighting Equipment to Ukraine in 2022

Just months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, hoses, nozzles, helmets, body armor, bunker gear, and other personal protective equipment were sent over to the Eastern European country.

In LA, Environmental Activism Backfires into a Blazing Hellscape

Whacko policies meant to clean the air and save trees and fish have killed people, burned forests and polluted the skies

What Will It Take to Change California Politics?

What more proof do you need that the Democrat cabal that has been running your state has no idea what they are doing?

David Muir: Narcissism Burning

source: Victory Girls

From his “fact checking” during the 2024 Presidential debates to his latest stint “on the scene” in Los Angeles, David Muir gets the award for the best display of narcissism in the land of anchorman.

ABC’s David Muir Exposed as a Flaming Narcissist

source: Washington Free Beacon

Reporting live from a smoldering Los Angeles, Muir wore a yellow safety jacket over his signature tight black T-shirt. It would appear that Muir was unhappy with the baggy fit of the jacket so he performed some emergency clothespin tailoring to ensure his muscled physique would not be concealed.

Why Was John Lennon’s Atheist Anthem “Imagine” Sung at Jimmy Carter Funeral?

source: American Thinker

He was very different than the exemplary moral Christian man of popular myth. And the song sounds like a globalist woke anthem, as well.

Presidents Jimmy and Joe: Goodbye and Good Riddance

source: American Spectator

The same fake media that has lied to us for half a century is now canonizing Saint Jimmy — it won’t be long before the same treatment will be given to Joe.

Don’t Dismiss Trump’s Greenland Moves

Bringing Greenland under American influence, and away from Russia and China, is vitally important.

Trump the Expansionist Knows Real Estate Matters

Geography isn’t everything, but often when it comes to geopolitics, there’s no substitute for cold, hard acreage.

Pardon Them All

source: Human Events

When Trump takes office later this month, he has already announced that he plans to grant “major pardons” to defendants in the January 6 cases. While we applaud the follow-through on his campaign promises, we would suggest a more radical solution: he should pardon everyone who has been jailed or charged over the event.

Don’t Believe the Left’s Crocodile Tears for Slain Health Care CEO

source: WND

The fact that Mangione is conventionally handsome, and the fact that private health insurance company executives are presumptively diabolical, has led a distressing number of progressives to conclude that, in fact, Mangione's slaying of Thompson was a righteous deed.

Whether Natural or Manmade, We Will All Pay the Tab

source: Conservative View from NH

It is easy to villainize the insurance companies, and there is a good reason for that, but more importantly, it is to point the finger at the people who are put in office to take care of their citizens and fail miserably. Many of these are the same folks who showed their true colors during Covid-19, yet they are still here.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The year is just over a week old and it’s already off to a rocky start: devastating fires in Los Angeles, the New Orleans terror attack and Trump’s expansionist ambitions.  Sheesh.  What’s going to happen after he takes office?...Farewell Jimmy Carter! WND  is not shedding a tear for him as it throws major shade on the late president accusing him for the unraveling of American culture....In a Truth Social post, Trump blamed the LA fires on California Governor Gavin Newsom, who he refers to in a derogatory term (of course)…LA Fire Chief Kristen Crowley is under fire from the right for being a lesbian and a presumably DEI hire.  The Pride website has a different point of view as evidenced by this headline:  “Amid Palisades Fire, LA’s First LGBTQ+ Fire Chief Is Proving Lesbians Get It Done”…The National Review has published a list of several must-read nonfiction books for 2025.  They include: Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life, Desire and Fate, and Called to Freedom: Retrieving Christian Liberty in an Age of License, Not exactly bedtime reading…In the immediate aftermath of the November 5 presidential election, more than 100 readers unsubscribed from TheRighting.  Unfortunately, the exodus continues to this day although not at the same pace.  In my latest article for The Columbia Journalism Review, I reveal the sad truth why readers fled…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

DEI-Crazed Officials Made the LA Fire More Deadly

source: The Federalist

Officials seem to believe that when fire forces you to flee your home, there is just one thing on your mind: the skin color and cultural experience of the firefighters who will bring you to safety. Will they be diverse enough to rescue you? Never mind if they are the best for the job, are they anything but straight white men?

The LA Fire Department Is Run by Three Lesbians Named Kirsten

source: FrontPage

Daniel Greenfield: I wrote an article and a Twitter thread on the wokeness in the LAFD. Wokeness and DEI led to four lesbians, 3 of them named some variation of Kirsten, running one of the nation’s largest fire departments.

Government Mismanagement, Not Climate Change, Is to Blame for LA Fires

source: Fox News

Politicians are trying to shift the blame for California's wildfires onto climate change, instead of their own policies
