Greetings! In case you were wondering, TheRighting is endorsing Kamala Harris for president...That was quite a nauseating rally Trump held at Madison Square Garden yesterday.  I  haven’t felt that sick to my stomach since eating a Big Mac with onions. To paraphrase the late great Texas pundit Molly Ivins, covering Pat Buchanan’s abhorrent 1992 GOP convention address: It sounded a lot  better in the original German…Comic Tony Hinchcliffe was the worst of the rally’s speakers with his racist routine.  Here’s just one sample: “These Latinos, they love making babies too.  There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country.” (Read full transcript of his speech.) I agree with the National Review’s assessment that Hinchcliffe didn’t do Trump “any favors”…I watched the rally at the ultra-right RSBN.  The stream was sponsored by The Wellness Company that hawks Ivermectin, which the Right has embraced as a drug to combat the effects of Covid-19, despite respected medical opinion, such as the Mayo Clinic which warns the drug  could cause serious harm...Tucker Carlson’s vile comments about Democrats needing a spanking from big daddy Donald Trump managed to even trigger the Baptist News. The fundamentalist news outlet’s publisher Mark Wingfield posted an opinion piece under the provocative headline: Tucker Carlson is a danger to American families.  “Taken as a metaphor for Trump returning to the White House, it’s clear Carlson is endorsing Trump’s pledge to weaponize the Justice Department and courts to go after his own political enemies. They are the ones who need to be spanked hard by Daddy Donald,” writes Wingfield…Last Week’s Craziest Headline: Townhall’s The Media Are the Scum of the Earth. The Fourth Estate may not be perfect, but scum?  Memo to Townhall: you’re part of the media…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Dept. of No Surprises: The Rupert Murdoch-owned NY Post just endorsed Donald Trump for president. “Many find him offensive — and we say fair enough: He can be ridiculously hyperbolic,” the editors write about Trump’s history of unhinged, dictatorial behavior, as if these are mere eccentricities and not the personality disorders of someone who continues to threaten our democracy. “But before Covid wreaked havoc across the globe, Trump’s first-term results were paychecks that grew markedly faster than inflation, the lowest unemployment in 50 years, a secure border and peace overseas”…Just published:  Bulletproof: The Truth About the Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump by alt-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec. The  looney tome’s subhead tells you all you need to know:  “How a shot meant for Donald Trump took out Joe Biden.” Worth noting: Don Jr. wrote the forward…Brace yourself Manhattanites:  The Donald’s Madison Square Garden rally this Sunday will feature an alt-right superstar. Tucker Carlson, the fired Fox News squawking head, told RedState  he’ll be joining his Supreme Leader onstage…Weekend Watch:  I Am Not a Monster.  Sounds like a creepy Halloween tale, but it’s not.  The two-part Max doc is an engrossing true crime examination of a sociopathic Minnesota woman who murdered her husband, went on the lam to Florida, where she killed again.  Set primarily in the bleak, snow-blown Midwest, it gives off serious “Fargo” vibes. Skillfully directed by Erin Lee Carr, daughter of the  late, legendary NY Times media reporter David Carr….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
