TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Fifty years ago today, President Richard M. Nixon announced that he was resigning from office the following day.  Here’s his 19-minute address to the nation, which ended a dark chapter in America's political history.…Food for thought: The Wall Street Journal published an in-depth story today on a growing conservative movement that believes Americans have drifted away from backing heterosexual couples and their offspring. Democrats hoping to reach independent voters would be wise to take a look…Another Biden blooper:  When asked yesterday by CBS News’s Robert Costa if he expects a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025, POTUS responded, “No, I’m not confident at all.”  He quickly corrected himself, adding, “I mean if Trump loses, I'm not confident at all.”  WND has the details here. The entire interview with Biden airs Sunday morning on CBS…Birth and death notices: RIP CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter, a huge supporter of our work at TheRighting. Indeed, Reliable Sources founder, Brian Stelter touted  TheRighting’s launch in 2017 and that’s how we got our first 35 subscribers. The last edition of Reliable Sources in its current form gets published tonight.  However, ace media critic Oliver Darcy, the main force behind Reliable Sources since Stelter left CNN  two years ago, is exiting the all-news-network and launching his own nightly media-focused newsletter called Status.  Darcy is a sharp wordsmith who knows how to make words dance. Look for the first edition Monday.  Here’s a link to the Status home page….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Where’s Biden?

It's anyone's guess what he does the rest of the time. The vice president, who one might hope was filling in the leadership void, is instead gallivanting about, running for office. As the world splinters and shudders and slips into war, there's no one at the wheel.

It’s a Beautiful Day in the Missouri Congressional District One Neighborhood

Cori Bush, along with the rest of the squad, has been the primary cheerleader for Hamas and any other anti-Israel group. With roughly 60,000 Jewish constituents, you have to wonder how Bush's pro-Hamas cheerleading is going over with them. Could it be that maybe part of the reason she will be packing her bags and heading home is that the answer to that is "not well"?

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! There’s a lot to like about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Kamala’s Veep choice.  However, I’m not completely sold on him because he doesn’t do enough to lock down Pennsylvania for the Democrats. And Walz (60) and Kamala (turning 60 in October) ain’t exactly the youth ticket I was hoping for.  The Minnesota governor has spunk as he exhibited in his first official campaign appearance in Philadelphia late yesterday afternoon (here's the 18-minute video).  However, Josh Shapiro would have projected more youth and vitality that the ticket needs. And he’s geographically desirable..Those nasty right wingers keep raining on the Dem parade by reminding voters that Walz is younger than Brad Pitt…Trump is really howling at the moon on Truth Social.  In this post, he predicts that Biden might crash the DNC in Chicago later this month to take back the nomination and secure another chance to debate.  The ex-POTUS also has a new name for Kamala.  He calls her Kamabla (sorry, I don’t get the joke)… Not classy! Favored derogatory nickname for Governor Walz now being used by right wing media: Tampon Tim…Clever! A video just posted by the Daily Signal is headlined: “Harris Contracts Walzheimer’s”…Dept. of Surprises:  Foxnews.com has published an op-ed from former Rep. Charles Djou (R-HI) endorsing Gov. Walsh.  “More than ever, America needs a normal guy like Tim Walz to help lead our nation and bring us together,” he writes.  This is a rare instance of a right wing media outlet not trashing the selection of Walz to the Harris ticket…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Nixon Shouldn’t Have Resigned

source: Wall Street Journal

The good news for Nixon is that the worst has been said. His antagonists are left with no rungs to climb on their ladder of hatred. On the other hand, records continue to unfold in the archives of the misconduct among his pursuers. Time and history are on Nixon’s side.

Two Commies Walk into a Presidential Ticket

source: PJ Media

The Dems have decided to fly their commie freak flag at the top of the presidential ticket. Walz, after all, is the guy who said that socialism is just "neighborliness."

Kamala-Walz Is the Most Radical Ticket in American History

source: Washington Examiner

The most socialist, anti-Israel, pro-terrorist members of the Democratic Party, including Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), pushed Harris to pick Walz because he is a rock-solid radical with a record additionally attractive to them of appeasing criminals, encouraging illegal immigration, and driving up energy prices.

Dems Complete Their Socialist Ticket

Look at San Francisco, the previously beautiful city on the Bay. Look at Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes and demolished urban areas destroyed by the George Floyd protestors of 2020. Look at these two regions, and you will see the future of America if Kamala Harris and her VP running mate, Tim Walz, can steal the election from Trump and JD Vance

Kamala Bows to the Radicals by Picking Lefty Walz

source: NY Post

Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the most left-wing of her VP options, because she didn’t dare cross the left by tapping a Jew.

By Selecting Walz, Did Kamala Just Lose the Election?

source: American Thinker

Maybe, but she also did the first honest thing ever in this campaign, which was to choose a running mate who reflects her true political values.

Walzing with Kamala

source: FrontPage

With Tim Walz, Harris placates party anti-Semites – and doubles down on radicalism.

Kamala, Walz and the “Minnesota Freedom Fund”

source: NewsBusters

It’s a bit euphemistic to describe rioters as “protesting.” Democrats usually call rioters “insurrectionists” if they love Trump. If they’re racially obsessed leftists, then they deploy affirming terms, like a “rebellion” or a “reckoning.”

Behold, Tampon Tim

source: American Spectator

Kamala may have been forced to settle for Walz.

Parents Need to Reject Kamala and Tampon Tim

source: Townhall

Harris is squarely against parental control of what young children are taught about sex, gender and homosexuality in school. On Tuesday, she chose a running mate -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz -- a former schoolteacher who shares her extreme, anti-parent views.

The Older Sexagenarian White Guy Gets the Nod

source: SteveGruber.com

Diversity comes in many forms (when the Democrats need it to.) I’m wondering if they’re going to be spending some of the next week actually having to DEFEND the fact that Harris chose an old white guy. That would be pretty funny.

The Selection of Tim Walz Is a Gift for Republicans

source: Washington Examiner

His bizarre selection is a golden opportunity for Trump and his campaign. For the next few months, the sole focus must be painting a picture of what America would become under these two unbridled and unapologetic far-left Democrats.

Tim Walz Is the Veep Who Let Minneapolis Burn

He refused to call in the National Guard, labeling them as ’19 year old cooks,’ until a police precinct was set on fire.

Walz Debuts with Substance-Free Attacks on Trump, Vance

source: Daily Wire

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) made his debut as Kamala Harris‘ running mate yesterday with an attempted roast of their Republican opponents, former President Trump and Ohio Senator Vance — and while he got some laughs from the Philadelphia audience, he joined Harris in delivering very little substance.
