Greetings! Wanna know more about how Fox News became a huge force in politics and culture?  Slate just dropped a multipart podcast series The Rise of Fox News.  (Here’s the trailer) Count me in…Attention doom preppers: My Patriot Supply is advertising on Breitbart a four-week emergency food kit in case there’s an unruly mob of protestors “wearing Islamic kufiyahs” threatening your security and you’ve got to bolt quickly.  “Get the life-saving food your family needs,” boasts the ad. The kit costs $187 and includes meals like mushroom rice pilaf, creamy stroganoff and buttermilk pancakes…The Wall Street Journal just gave a rave review to the Daily Wire’s new theatrically released documentary “Am I a Racist” starring podcaster Matt Walsh.  Writer Jason Riley called it “hilarious”…Midweek Watch: Last night, the Max streamer debuted “Stopping the Steal,” a sobering full-length documentary about Trump’s attempt to subvert the election.  There are few major revelations but the accumulating details of the attempted subversion of the election over the course of 90 minutes lands like a gut-punch. (Check out the trailer)…Movie recommendation of the week for Trump and Vance: the 1996 romantic comedy The Truth About Cats and Dogs…Dept. of Surprises: Foxnews.com has published an op-ed by Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA!) touting his state’s success increasing the minimum wage.  It’s smart of Newsom’s staff to try to reach the Fox audience…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Greetings! After 5 days in LA, it's great to be back in NYC…JD Vance has an op-ed in Blaze Media where he wonders if the incident on the Mayor of Mar-A-Lago’s Palm Beach links was “another Trump  assassination plot.”  The Veep-wannabe adds without  any irony that he admires “Trump for calling for peace and calm,” and suggests it’s the left that is “out of control” with violent rhetoric. For good measure, he claims that a nefarious foreign government may be behind multiple bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio…Last Friday on “Late Night with Bill Maher,” the HBO gabfest host said he thinks that it’s finally over for Trump because he’s gone too far with his migrants-eating-pets riffs. I’d like to believe The Donald is going down to defeat once again. Maher famously and correctly predicted many times that The Donald would resist leaving the Oval Office if he lost the 2020 election and I hope he is once again prescient about Trump losing. Still, it’s dangerous to underestimate Trump’s chances of again seizing power. That’s something too many mainstreamers have been guilty of since he descended the Trump Tower escalator to announce his 2016 White House run. He is at his most dangerous and resilient when he’s backed into a corner. My two cents: it ain’t close to being over…The Fox Nation streaming service just dropped the anti-trans documentary Transfixed, which boasts that it “exposes the dark side of the transgender movement.”  The 12-time NCAA champion swimmer Riley Gaines hosts….A happy 7^th birthday to TheRighting.  We launched in the early dark days of the Trump administration.
