TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Regime Change, the year’s most talked about nonfiction book, drops today. Within its pages, NY Times scribes Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reveal frightening fly-on-the-wall scenes (or microphone in the Situation Room) from the tumultuous first year of Trump 2.0. Both the NY Times and The New Yorker grace “Regime Change” with rave reviews. I watched Haberman and Swan on MS NOW last night and found their revelations about the insane workings of The Donald’s White House more frightening than my own already nightmarish imaginings. Worth noting: Trump often refers to Haberman as “Maggot.” Classy (not)....More book news: Exactly who covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline? That answer may be forthcoming in a new book from Lindy Li, a veteran Democratic fundraiser, according to Fox News.  Titled  Unburdened, Li’s tell-all has a September 15 pub date, which is the same month that Biden’s White House memoir is scheduled for release. My guess is neither book will be welcomed by Dems just weeks before midterm elections. They will draw attention away from Trump’s growing list of liabilities and frailties, and revisit old wounds of the Biden administration that deserve to be in the nation’s rear view mirror...Read the room SecDef: Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth has a NY Post op-ed attempting to make a case that the U.S. needs to increase its defense spending to preserve the nation’s economic might.  Some estimates have pegged the cost of the ill-fated war with Iran at upwards of $100 billion. He picked the wrong time for this message....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The vice president is putting Israel in its place and making all the right people mad.

Tedious Legacy Media Midwits Hate JD Vance’s New Book About Faith

source: The Federalist

Vance isn’t writing as a theologian, and he’s not claiming expertise. He’s explicitly describing a journey through years of confusion, as a man who was lost and then found his way to something that he now embraces as home.

Come on in, the Reflecting Pool’s Water Is Green

source: Wall Street Journal

Nobody really cares about the reflecting pool drama. But the press corps see an irresistible opportunity to gin up controversy. They imagine the peeling paint and greening water in the shallow pool opposite the Lincoln Memorial has a deep symbolic resonance.

Domestic Terrorists Were Obama’s Special Guests at Presidential Center Opening

source: FrontPage

Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, the former terrorist leaders of the Weathermen and the Chicago power couple who spotted Obama and moved him up the political ladder getting third row seats to the opening of the Obama Presidential Center spoke more eloquently about what Obama represented than any of the hollow political speeches and media press releases.

Who Wants to Eat a Trillionaire?

source: Blaze Media

If billionaires “shouldn’t exist,” as our boring socialist friends never tire of saying, then a trillionaire must be not merely obscene but downright apocalyptic. If the existence of billionaires is a policy failure, the arrival of a trillionaire is a crime scene. Call Congress! Summon the United Nations! Eat the rich!

White Nationalism Is Full of Idiots

Identity-based movements are ‘the bat signal for every loser.’

Abortion Pills Available All Summer Long

source: Victory Girls

As we launch into summer, small aircraft fly by on the beach pulling ads for local bars and restaurants and yes, abortion pills. After all, it is the summer of love and there’s no better way to handle a night’s indiscretion discreetly than to order abortion pills by mail order. A banner ad at the U.S. Open did just that.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Right-wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal and the NY Post have both come out swinging against Donald Trump’s Iran peace plan.  The WSJ’s  editorial board charges that Trump and Iran are claiming Israel is the primary obstacle to a pact. “To protect his bad deal,” the editors write. “Trump makes the Jewish state the scapegoat.” In another Journal op-ed, Alyssia Finley argues that Trump and Vance “echo the anti-Israeli left.” And Michael Goodwin, a longtime conservative columnist at Murdoch’s NY Post, says Trump and Vance are “rattled on Iran and their attacks on Israel prove it.” Worth noting: The American Spectator also criticizes the president’s peace deal, calling it Trump’s Retreat...What’s the most “Americana” town in America? It’s Franklin, TN, according to the Daily Wire.  “This is where nostalgic, old-fashioned, and classic Americana values have stopped to rest,” opines the Wire’s Andie Valdes.  My own vote goes to New London, NH, a picture-perfect New England hamlet tucked into the state’s southwest corner on the shores of Lake Sunapee, in the shadow of Mt. Keasarge... ABC late-night gabfest host Jimmy Kimmel, one of Trump’s most vocal critics, is taking the summer off.  Rosie O’Donnell who famously moved to Ireland after the 2024 election as she sought a calmer political environment, will sit in for Kimmel the week of August 17.  Hollywood in Toto denounces O’Donnell’s appointment and wonders if ABC will reign in the “deranged” star. A rotating crew of guest hosts take over July 6 until Kimmel returns September 23...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Reflecting Pool Attacks Reflect the Left’s Insanity

source: Townhall

While the restoration efforts continue, the pool has become a gathering place for left-wing agitators. To celebrate the algae that formed after the initial stage of the pool restoration, several progressive buffoons dressed in algae costumes, and one carried an “Algae” banner, screaming, “Algae’s smarter than MAGA.”

Who’s the Boss? Trump, That’s Who

source: American Greatness

Trump has reshaped the Republican Party into a disciplined political machine, rewarding loyalty, punishing failure, and forcing a movement long plagued by weakness to finally fight.

The Obama Presidential Center Reflects His Presidency

source: Newsmax

It's a perfect testament to the administration of the 44th president: it's ugly, divisive, overly-expensive, and was built on a foundation of broken promises.
