TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Joe Biden, late night host?  Most of the East Coast was probably asleep by the time the President took the stage just before 11:30 at last night’s DNC.  That was a kick in the dentures to POTUS Joe, as well as a disservice to his supporters who wanted to see him take a bow and graciously anoint Kamala Harris.  Still, there was a lot to like last night, such as call-to-arms speeches by Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez and Hillary Clinton (her best ever, IMO).  The pundit class has been busy all morning showering praise on the DNC high points.  One of my favorites was Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr who led  the USA basketball team to Olympic  gold.  He was funny, irreverent, insightful, and best of all he was succinct. Kerr’s basketball credentials give him strong appeal to young male voters the Dems want to pull it. Hope Kerr’s  full-throttled support of democracy and the Harris/Waltz ticket won't cost  him future employment and endorsements but he’s got my vote for whatever he does...A Wall Street Journal op-ed appears strategically timed for the start of DNC. GOP Veep hopeful and cat lady hater JD Vance writes in the WSJ that Kamala Harris is waging a war on U.S. energy…Week’s weirdest headline from the right, courtesy of WND: “How the German Gay Movement Groomed Hitler.” Apologies, but I can’t bring myself to read it…In his latest column for us, TheRighting’s David Lieberman reveals that Wall Street has soured on right wing media companies including one owned by a certain ex-president…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Joe Biden, Trump Casualty

source: The American Conservative

The Joe Biden who addressed the convention last night was already a ghost, one fated to haunt the White House until January 20. He’s an angry, impotent spirit. Heedless of his naked hypocrisy, he linked Trump to neo-Nazis in one breath and insisted in the next that he had been a president for all Americans

Trump Is Correct to Label Liberal Media Enemy of the People

On Jan. 21, 2017, his second day in office, then-President Donald Trump created a firestorm by referring to the liberal mainstream media as “among the most dishonest human beings on earth.”

Kamala Harris has spoken about the future. Her government will set the price of food in America. The first policy decision of her own, and she stole it from the Soviet Union.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The Democratic National Convention opens tonight in Chicago, putting me in a Windy City state of mind. And to help you get in the mood for four nights of political fanfare in Chi-town, here’s a random sampling of songs, books, films and TV that showcase the heart and soul of the City of Big Shoulders: Songs: My Kind of Town, Chicago Is(Frank Sinatra) and Sweet Home Chicago (Blues Brothers version of the Robert Johnson classic);  Books: The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair and Boss: Richard J. Daley of Chicago, by Mike Royko; TV: The Bear; Movies: The Untouchables. And most on point, Medium Cool, filmed during the tumultuous 1968 DNC…Just in time for school! In his latest column, John Stossel, former resident libertarian at Fox Business News and ABC News, is promoting the tome  Lies My Liberal Teacher Taught Me, by Wilfred Reilly…NewsBusters has a bone to pick with the current issue of Time magazine featuring a drawing of Kamala Harris with the cover line “Her Moment.”  They describe Time’s depiction of her as “somewhere between Miss America and a religious icon.”  My issue with the cover is the quality of the artwork because it looks more like an unfinished sketch…Pat Boone just released a new song that should be music to the ears of MAGA-world and a certain resident of Mar-a-Lago.  The title says it all: Where Did America Go?  The 90-year-old crooner, who decades ago was a Top Ten sensation with limp versions of classics by Little Richard and Chuck Berry,  belts out the song draped in a baggy American flag shirt….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Kamala’s “Hope and Joy” vs Chaos and Boarded-Up Businesses

Wherever Democrats go, chaos follows. We’ve seen it in Baltimore, Ferguson, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Oakland, etc., etc., And now that the entire Democrat elite and their palace guards in the fake media have landed in Chicago — a city already bucking under the horrors of decades of one-party rule (Democrats)

Entering DNC Week, Kamala Finds Her Honeymoon Flaming Out

Roiled by bad press, a fumbling speech on economic policy, and now reports that the pressures of the campaign have exacerbated an ongoing problem with alcohol, Kamala Harris enters DNC week in a much weaker position than she was in just three short weeks ago.

Why Kamala’s Laugh Is So Annoying

source: Daily Caller

By Ann Coulter: Could someone teach Kamala to laugh only when something is funny?It’s not the sound of Kamala Harris’s laugh that is so irritating although, to be fair, it is. It’s that she laughs when nothing remotely funny has been said.

Kamala Is Cooked

source: American Greatness

Kamala has not reinvented herself. She’s still the same politician who had to bow out of the 2020 Democratic Primaries in December of 2019 because she was polling in the low single digits.

Kamala Wants to Impose a Soviet-Style Medical System

The Medicare for All world Harris wants for America would mean no care providers, no money for care, death-by-queue, and national bankruptcy.

Kamala’s Risky Hillary Clinton Gambit

source: TheBlaze

Uncomfortable as it is for some people to hear, Harris is deeply unlikeable. You can protest all you want about her accomplishments in life. But she has a people problem. Her employees don’t like her and quit often. Her boss doesn’t care much for her and has quietly questioned whether she even knows who she wants to be.

Chicago Is the City That Democrats Debased

If Democrats want to learn why they are losing support among working-class voters, they should get out of the convention center and look around Chicago.

If the message of this week’s Democratic National Convention is “We’re going to make America more like Chicago” then run for the hills. After nearly 100 years of Democratic rule, the Windy City is a basket case.

Chicago Is Part of the Dems’ Urban Reign of Terror

Like other cities over which Democrats hold sway, in Chicago Democrats respond to crime with indulgence, more social spending  resulting in business flight.
