Greetings! The notoriously conservative NY Post editorial board gave an ice cold reception to Donald Trump’s imperialistic “Greenland sideshow.” “It’d be beyond nuts for Trump to actually use force,” the editors wrote, “a guarantee that Democrats would win the House this fall, for starters, and maybe even gift them the Senate”...Just wondering: what’s the pillow talk at night between Katy Tur, of left-leaning MS NOW, and her spouse Tony Dokoupil, the new “CBS Evening News” anchor. Dokupil was roundly skewered last week for airing MAGA puff pieces, including subservient interviews with The Donald and Sec. of State Marco Rubio...Dept. of Surprises: The American Conservative reports that right-wingers were “saddened” by the death of the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir.  Ultra-right gadfly Ann Coulter opines that Weir’s band was “uniquely American” and she cited the abundance of white people at the Dead’s concerts...Karl Rove, who I never liked when he was George W. Bush’s deputy chief of staff, has written such a moving article about the death of his eight-year-old dog Doc Holliday that it moved me to tears. (Wall Street Journal). Sorry for your loss Karl....Several times a month a New England source of mine goes to demonstrations outside the ICE building in Burlington, MA, organized by Bearing Witness. My spy’s favorite sign seen among the hundreds of protestors: “Cholesterol, do your thing.” That seems obviously targeted at our Big Mac-loving President...Dismal December: Only one right-wing news site posted a traffic increase last month, according to TheRighting’s exclusive research. PJ Media, take a bow. Everyone else saw traffic drop compared to a year ago, including Trump’s Truth Social and Bari Weiss’s The Free Press...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! This past Sunday morning, TheRighting’s managing editor David Noonan, learned that ICE agents were roaming the streets of his hometown of Morristown, NJ, purportedly in search of undocumented immigrants.  His local digital news outlet, The Morristown Green, reported on the sweep that resulted in the detention of as many as ten people in the leafy suburb 35 miles west of Manhattan. Here’s Noonan’s reaction to the appearance of masked ICE agents patrolling the streets where he grew up (it was printed in the comments section under the article in The Morristown Green): When it comes to crime, I put my trust where I have always put it, in our local, county and state law enforcement agencies and court systems. They are the organizations and institutions that keep us safe and assure that all people, regardless of origin or background, are treated fairly and properly under the law. Our police officers wear name tags, not masks. Our trials are held in open court. It pains me to see armed and anonymous federal agents rampaging through the neighborhood where I grew up in alleged pursuit of “the worst of the worst,” and whisking them away to “detention centers.” They are doing the dirty work of an administration that is determined to divide our country by demonizing immigrants, conveniently ignoring the fact we are a country of immigrants, and always have been. That is our strength, and it always will be. Well said!....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
