TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Mocking Trump: The right-wing Media Research Center analyzed content from five late-night talk shows from last week, including those hosted by Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers,  Jimmy Fallon and Jon Stewart.  According to the study, of  the 118 jokes, 114 were about the war with Iran. The Donald was the butt of 78 zingers (natch), followed by Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth (6), FCC chairman Brendan Carr (3), JD Vance (3) and sinister White House advisor Stephen Miller (3). NewsBusters has the full story...Ugh! The Major League Baseball season kicks off tonight with the NY Yankees playing the SF Giants. I’m opposed to March and November baseball. Seems un-American to me.  Our nation’s national pastime is meant to be played in warm weather...Phrase of the Day: The National Review highlights  “poverty tourism” to describe the journey of left-leaning influencers who are traveling to economically stressed Havana on trips organized by the anti-war group Code Pink. Worth noting: Wikipedia devotes an entire page to the phrase “slum tourism”... Plans for a new Muslim community on 2,000 acres in rural Texas were ditched after a Daily Caller article last February alerted area residents about the proposal. The Caller pats itself on the shoulder claiming that a local official credited its reporting for killing the deal which could have resulted in as many as 20,000 “foreign nationals”  living in Kauffman, TX, a community about  35 miles east of Dallas...RIP: Jeff Webb, a mentor to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, died last week from a “freak” accident, suffering  a head injury after falling on a pickleball court, according to WND.  Webb was 76...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Iran Caves to Trump

source: PJ Media

By Matt Margolis: On Tuesday, Trump announced that Iran has agreed to abandon its nuclear weapons program as a condition for ending U.S. military strikes on Tehran. There is, however, a catch. Iran is still denying talking to the U.S. I’m trusting Trump on this.

Media Play Tokyo Rose While Trump Plays 5-Dimensional Chess

source: WND

Looking at the media's coverage of the Iran war, it's hard to recall when the press has been more dishonest or has more openly sided with America's enemies. In fact, Tokyo Rose, the WWII Japanese broadcaster whose job was to demoralize allied forces in the Pacific, would marvel at the U.S.  media's dedication to sowing discouragement.

Trump Is Ready to Protect Airports at a Time When Dems Aren’t Even Trying

Dems Hold American Air Travelers Hostage to Save Illegal Aliens

Democrats shut down the government and are never asked to justify their position against deporting a single illegal alien.

Dem Presidential Hopefuls Can’t Stop Talking About Their Horrible Parents

source: Daily Caller

Democrats who appear to be positioning themselves for a 2028 presidential run have settled on a new strategy: Emphasizing their traumatic childhoods. It’s a sensible tactic, given victimhood (of the real and imagined variety) has long been virtuous on the left.

Of Course JD Vance Will Run in 2028

The vice president will run to succeed his boss unless he falls out of favor with Trump.

Woke Hollywood Star and Trump-Hating Actor Beats Neighbor in Front of Kids

source: The Gateway Pundit

“Reacher” actor Alan Ritchson, the same actor who loves lecturing Americans about how Trump is a “rapist and a con man” and how Christians who support Trump are “vitriolic,” was caught on video brutally beating his Tennessee neighbor in front of his own children.

Leftists Are Already Politicizing Chuck Norris’s Legacy After His Death

Following the death of action legend Chuck Norris, what might have been a moment of shared cultural reflection has quickly turned contentious. Leftists are already scrutinizing Norris’ film legacy through a political lens

Left’s Response to Loyola Student Murder Is Jaw-Dropping

No celebrities will wear Sheridan Gorman’s name on their lapels on red carpets. Neither Springsteen nor U2 will record songs about her life ending because of failed progressive policies.

Presidents Have Authority to Stop Narco-Terrorists Before They Reach America

source: Washington Examiner

In Venezuela, a narco-terrorist network was embedded inside the government. For years, Nicolas Maduro’s regime has helped facilitate the trafficking of narcotics, criminals, and illicit money across the Western Hemisphere. Those operations do not stop at Venezuela’s borders. They are aimed directly at the U.S.

Brace Yourself. A Recession Is Coming

By Niall Ferguson: The war in Iran is choking global energy supply. History shows shocks like this rarely end without a recession.

Pentagon’s Department of War Fixes Petulant Journalists

source: Victory Girls

The crybabies have been petulant ever since Donald Trump was elected. The Pentagon/Department of War has fixed them. Cry to a judge some more and see if Secretary of War can’t find you more to cry about. This is one of the days that is so good for the soul.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Get ready for ads projected on the Washington Monument and other iconic structures in our nation’s capital. That’s just one of the alarming insights in the Washington Post’s epic takedown yesterday of Donald Trump’s shambolic rampage against D.C.’s architectural grandeur. Philip Kennicott, the Post’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning senior art & architecture critic, called the vulgarian POTUS “the  most significant threat to the city’s architectural and design legacy since British forces burned the Capitol and White House during the War of 1812”.... Trump must be running out of items to boost on Truth Social. Late yesterday morning, he posted a link to a story in The Gateway Pundit from January 6 (!).  The piece from the far-right extremist website reported that Lt. Michael Byrd, who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt as she stormed  the Capitol building during the J6 insurrection, runs a daycare center with his wife that receives federal funds. Beats me why The Donald flagged it on March 23. More disturbing that he’s legitimizing content from such a disreputable operation...Kudos to the latest episode of the Emmy Award-winning HBO Max  series “The Pitt” that contained a timely anti-ICE message. In the powerful episode, two ICE agents bring an injured and apparently undocumented immigrant in handcuffs into the ER, throwing staff and other patients into a frenzy.  Without drifting into left-wing polemic, “The Pit”  made it  impossible to ignore the masked brutality of  ICE agents and the dystopian fear they spread in the name of immigration control. The Huff Post has more...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Twilight of the Transgenders

source: American Thinker

Despite the efforts of psychopathic teachers and professionals, and despite celebrities parading their transgender/homosexual children as a status symbol in Hollywood, we can expect the continued decline of transgender surgeries.

A Welcome Setback for Medical DEI

source: Wall Street Journal

Some of the worst excesses of racial identity politics have been in U.S. medical schools, but maybe that is starting to change. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which accredits M.D.-granting institutions, has quietly removed diversity, equity and inclusion protocols from its official guidance.

Code Pink’s Cuban Commie Vacation Hits a New Low

source: PJ Media

Code Pink and a bunch of other worthless commies went to Cuba after they put together the "Nuestra América Convoy," which describes itself as a humanitarian group but is really just some sort of anti-Trump, pro-Cuban regime operation.

Cuba’s Useless Idiots

source: The Free Press

Last weekend, hundreds of left-wing activists and politicians from around the world descended on Cuba as participants in the Nuestra América Convoy. There’s a good chance you’ve already heard about the convoy due to the ample social media activity of its members, who spent more time broadcasting their exploits to their followers than doing anything that might actually help the average Cuban.
