Greetings! Dept. of Good News (we hope): Legendary Dem strategist and talking head James Carville writes in a NY Times op-ed this morning that he’s “certain” Kamala Harris will win the election…Dept. of Bad Timing: Over the weekend, Trump's team orchestrated a photo op of the ex-POTUS "working" in the kitchen at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.  Three days later, the fast food giant announced an E. coli outbreak in Quarter Pounders across 10 states from Wisconsin to Oregon.  While no one has suggested the restaurant where he “worked” had an outbreak, it’s gotta be a real buzz kill to one of the seminal moments of his campaign. Naturally, I didn’t see any reports of the outbreak in right wing media…The conservative Media Research Council announced its first annual free speech award winners from Congress.  Among those cited for defending the First Amendment were Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Jim Jordan (R-OH)…The NY Post is trumpeting a United Nations report revealing that women have lost close to 900 medals to transgender competitors in female sporting categories….Former Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen just endorsed Kamala Harris for president with an op-ed in the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page of all places.  “Kamala Harris is an internationalist who believes in the rule of law and in a rules-based system that strives for global order and stability,” he writes today.  “Donald Trump’s approach is rooted in isolationism, xenophobia and white nationalism under the banner of ‘America first,’ with fascist historical overtones”….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! Required viewing for conspiracy theorists:  Excellent “60 Minutes” segment Sunday featuring Jeff Howell, Emergency Management Coordinator for a storm-ravaged North Carolina county. Howell called bullsh*t on right wing conspiracy theories about how the federal government supposedly geo-engineered the storm and that FEMA was seizing the property of county residents…Finally! New York Times conservative columnist Bret Stephens relented and admitted in a column yesterday that he will reluctantly vote for Kamala Harris.  A never-Trumper in the past, Stephens has floated that he might write in a name on his ballot because of his disdain for Harris.  I don’t care if he holds his nose and gags while checking the Harris block…Good news for Dancin’ Donald Trump: Hip Hop artist Porsche Truck Ruk just released his pro-Trump music video Say What You Mean. According to the promotional material, “the rapper unapologetically fuses his support for Trump with the raw energy of rap”… More good news for Trump: Maxim Magazine, the feisty, slightly risqué young men’s editorial brand, just endorsed The Donald.  “Trump is becoming more socially acceptable,” observes the Daily Caller’s Gage Clipper.  “He’s no longer radioactive. We’re starting to see institutions cater to the interests of their actual audience — in this case, young men — rather than conform to the elite corporate hivemind. So it’s a good sign that normie culture mags like Maxim now feel safe endorsing Trump without the fear of being boycotted out of existence”…If  you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
