TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Monday morning laugh: Prize-winning sports columnist and novelist Mike Lupica posted on X that JD Vance is such a bad pick, he “can’t believe the Jets didn’t draft him.” If you’re a follower of the woeful NFL team, you’ll get the joke on the first bounce…Over the weekend, National Review posted two provocative pieces:  Friday, it dropped a truth bomb declaring that Trump trails Kamala for reasons other than the media hype behind the Veep’s White House run, but because of the electorate’s tiring of the Blowhard of Bedminster’s act. However, yesterday, in a piece more in line with conservative complaints about mainstream media, the publication shredded Axios and Politico.  The two outlets are accused by National Review of “producing election coverage that reads more like Democratic National Committee press releases. The combined coverage is consistently sycophantic, lowbrow, and gossipy”…Blaze Media charges that FDR and Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter transformed the nation into a bureaucratic nightmare because the power duo “aimed to centralize government power in the administrative state”…Get ready for the September launch of a new streaming service for the “nonwoke.”  We the People is selling itself as a “wholesome, family-friendly entertainment” alternative to Netflix, Amazon Prime and company.  Among We the People’s offering is Tito Ortiz vs Sea Monster, a reality show featuring the MMA fighter fishing for some of the mightiest ocean monsters…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

We may not be in the best position, but the good news is like a bloodied boxer who has taken a few punches yet isn’t finished yet, we’re still standing, and now it’s time for our side to launch a few of our own haymakers.

Time Magazine Pays the Price for Lost Credibility

Last week, Time magazine glorified Democrat presidential nominee VP Kamala Harris in a major cover story. A week later, Time announced layoffs for 22 staffers, which could be seen as the consequences for Time for tilting so visibly for Democrats.

Covid-19: The Preventable Pandemic

The global pandemic was “totally preventable,” in the words of Commissioner Dr. Robert Redfield, an experienced virologist. Had the Chinese government been more transparent and cooperative at the outset of the pandemic, millions of lives and trillions of dollars could have been spared.

Will America become a majority-childless society? A new Pew Research Center survey suggest that sadly may be the case. Such a direction would have alarming consequences for not just individuals but also for our nation.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings!  Breakfast cereal of the day for fans of Kamala: Special K…I expect this is a minority opinion, but I thought former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta gave one of the most important speeches of the DNC’s closing night. Delivered by a public servant with a distinguished career, it wasn’t filled with razzle dazzle phrases, yet  it was an illuminating discourse on the challenges facing the nation.  When Panetta talks, it pays to listen (see it here)…The NY Post’s Douglas Murray hands out “Oscars” to the Democrats who deserve applause contributing to the “fake all-an-act convention.”  Recipients include Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton…Donald Trump sat down for an hour-long interview with comedian and Joe Rogan-wannabe Theo Von (see it here).  Hollywood in Toto says the Trump/Von gabfest should scare the Dems because it humanized The Donald in a way that will have a positive impact on independent voters...The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedyard estimates that the media is giving  Kamala Harris more positive coverage than any presidential candidate in  modern history.  Bedyard  bases his analysis on data from the  conservative Media Research Center…Conservatives rejoice! The feature film “Reagan,” starring Dennis Quaid as the GOP icon, opens theatrically August 30.  Penelope Ann Miller plays Nancy Reagan (see trailer here)…If  you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Kamala’s Collection of Clichés

source: National Review

The vice president delivered a serviceable convention speech, but she remains a complete cipher.

Kamala’s Acceptance Speech Was a Clichéd Lib Facebook Post

source: PJ Media

Because she's a dullard, Harris wasn't even able to come up with some new lies of her own. She just reflexively belched out one tired untruth after another. Imagine reading a low-info lib Facebook screed that's accompanied by narration and you'll have a sense of what Madame Veep's speech was like.

Kamala Gave Us No Idea What She’d Do as President

source: NY Post

Other than not being Donald Trump or Joe Biden, who is she? What does she really believe and what would she do as president? If she knows the answers, she’s keeping them a secret.

Kamala Offers a “New Way Forward” of Platitudes

The Vice President was vigorous and confident in her DNC acceptance speech, but her lack of substance leaves an opening for Donald Trump.

From Vasectomy Vans to Hotties for Harris, the DNC Was Truly a Freak Show

source: Daily Caller

Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Democrats made a big show out of being “normal,” of standing for “freedom” and traditional, patriotic values. They did their best, but of course it is all a lie; there’s nothing normal about them.

Kamala Is Still a Fill-in-the-Blanks Candidate

source: Fox News

Harris’ speech was catnip to Democrats who are indeed joyful that Joe Biden is no longer their candidate, but her work has just begun

Kamala Unburdens Herself of Her Record at DNC

source: Liberty Nation News

Closing out the DNC, Harris delivered an address that – while hitting all the high notes on lofty goals – would have been better suited to a political neophyte. The viewing audience was treated to a mix of two parts hagiography and three parts emotional outreach with a dash of questionable hyperbole thrown in for flavor

If You Want to Work for Kamala, You Need a Kovid Shot

source: Granite Grok

The Harris campaign seeks workers to help her steal the 2024 election. OYou’ll need to pick your pronouns, and the campaign requires an updated Covid-19 shot. That’s the China virus—the Wuhan Flu. If you don’t tithe to Big Pharma, there is no gig.

Kamala’s Obama Makeover

Harris took on more than Obama's staff. She adopted the message that Obama strategist David Axelrod had been urging Biden to use for months: Drop the threat-to-democracy talk and instead cast the election as a choice between future promise and dwelling on Trump's past

Democratic Party Looking More and More Like a Marxist Regime

The radicals assembled in Chicago this week under the banner of joy and hope, but their rhetoric was filled with anger and hatred. Their actions and proposals, however, are far worse for the future of America.
