Greetings! Disaster.  That’s what I’d call Trump’s live interview with Elon Musk on the X  platform last night.  Because of technical glitches, the interview started 40 minutes late.  And when Musk was finally able to ask Trump questions that the audience could hear, Trump sounded like he had a lisp and was widely mocked on social media.  Plus, the interview lasted almost two hours. Will heads roll at Mar-a-Lago?….Trump has revved up his posts on X after getting bounced from the platform almost four years ago.  Last night, he had several posts.  RedState believes a Trump staffer is posting because “the messages are well-curated and professionally presented. They aren’t in all caps.” In other words, they don’t come across like they were written by an angry eighth grade boy with spelling issues…Dept. of Stick & Stones: Human Events now calls Tim Walz the “woke Archie Bunker.” And Washington Stand calls Kamala “Hidin’ Harris”…Wanna know Trump’s positions?  He just posted “20 Core Promises to Make America Great Again.” It includes large tax cuts for workers, sealing the border and ordering the largest deportation operation in American history… Gut punch: Muhammad Ali’s ex-wife Dr Khalilah Ali is an ardent Trump supporter, according to The Lid.  Don’t think The Greatest would be pleased…And speaking of boxing, our contributor Michael Lovito profiles the controversial website Reduxx which stoked the biggest Olympics’ gender controversy with it scoop about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.  As usual, Lovito’s reporting packs a punch…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! The right is beginning to turn on Donald Trump for his sagging polls numbers. Liberty Paige, SteveGruber.com’s prolific and fiery right wing blogger, advises Trump to avoid the petty grievances because the country has more important issues to deal with.  “Drop the nicknames and the B.S. at the rallies and especially on Truth Social and stay on message,” she wrote over the weekend.  “Issues matter, not your harping on the past. The country is going to go down in flames if you don’t get your act together and defeat these socialist lunatics.” Townhall’s Scott Morefield expressed more disdain for Trump’s response to Kamala Harris’s surging  campaign. He urges the Duke of Bedminster. “to clean up his act and stop making unforced errors to hurt his chances.”…The Granite Grok is insinuating that images of huge crowds at rallies for Kamala Harris have been photoshopped to inflate the size of her audiences. As “proof” the Grok published a pic of Kamala and Walz exiting Air Force II to a sea of people.  However, the Grok claims only two people are visible in the reflection of the left engine’s metal in the image they posted… In Butler, PA, site of  last month’s assassination attempt of Donald Trump, a local artist made a life-size sculpture of the ex-POTUS entirely from nails. Doug Secunda wanted to portray Trump “tough as nails.” Wonder how it might look in the foyer at Mar-a-Lago.  (Fox News) …Don Jr. thinks it’s weird that Tim Walz greets his wife with a handshake and not a kiss, according to this video post on X. Is Mini-Me Trump questioning Walz’s sexual orientation? Weird…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.  Howard
