TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) turned in a disappointing performance on MS NOW last night after host Jen Psaki asked him to clarify his weekend comments that Trump just wants to “fly with Natalie (Harp),”  the president’s attractive executive assistant who follows him everywhere. The  Victory Girls’ Deanna Fisher said the quiet part out loud. “Jon Ossoff is trying to be cute by bringing up President Trump aide Natalie Harp, and alleging that the president is having an affair,” she wrote. Ossoff’s remarks ricocheted throughout social media channels yet the senator twice avoided Psaki’s direct questioning. For a politician with  presidential ambitions, it was a prime time fail. Ossoff also needs better handlers. He had a serious five-o’clock shadow reminiscent of Dick Nixon’s dark beard during his much-disparaged 1960 televised debate with JFK. And his shirt didn’t fit him properly. RedState also noticed his flop and for once I agree with the right-wing outlet...Bad news for Republicans? The Daily Caller believes that comedian Shane Gillis, who is popular with conservatives, could be the “most important bellwether” of the midterm elections.  And that could spell trouble for the GOP.  The Caller reports that Gillis has “soured” on POTUS. The “change from Trump-friendly to Trump-skeptical may not have mattered much in 2025. But in a crucial election year, it matters quite a bit”...After former Clinton VP Al Gore won an Oscar in 2006 for his climate-doom documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” a wave of climate-change movies flooded theaters, according to Hollywood in Toto.  They include: “Snowpiercer,” “Merchants of Doubt,” “Don’t Look Up,” “The 11th Hour,” “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” and “Geostorm.” Despite all the attention the subject receives from Hollywood, the blog notes the vast majority of voters don’t care about the issue...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

If South Korea Won’t Defend Hormuz, Trump Should Pull the Nuclear Umbrella

Seoul expects the protection of 28,500 American troops, continuous joint training, and billions in U.S. taxpayer subsidies, yet blinks at broader global threats.

Todd Blanche and the Justice Department Independence

source: American Spectator

What is the name emblazoned on the literal headquarters building of the Department of Justice? Answer: That name would be Robert F. Kennedy. Which is to say the literal Department of Justice headquarters is named for one of the most high-profile and decidedly political attorneys general in American history.

Jon Ossoff Sure Seems to Think He’s the Next Barack Obama

You don’t have to live in Georgia for the comparisons to odious Barack Obama to make you retch. The Obama fixation even plays into Ossoff’s speechwriting hires

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Inked: Outgoing Republican South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace is leaving office on a colorful note when she steps aside in January. The Gateway Pundit reveals that she’s now appearing on camera in sleeveless tops displaying multiple vibrant tattoos on both arms. It’s all part of a head-spinning rebrand for the 48-year-old right-wing, controversy-courting politician. She just launched a YouTube show called “Get Maced.” (Personally, I like “Mace in Your Face” better.) The tattoos and slinky tops are a clever way of attracting attention to her new venture supposedly available on her official Congresswoman Mace YouTube channel (although I couldn’t find it)...It’s about time: It just dawned on the National Review that vaccine-skeptic RFK Jr. might have some role in the highest number of measles cases in more than three decades....The weeklong Townhall Gulf of Americas cruise sets sail November 21 from Fort Lauderdale with stops in the Bahamas, Jamaica and Cozumel. The featured conservative speakers are not quite an A-list of MAGA world and include CNN’s Scott Jennings, right-wing Los Angeles radio host Jennifer Horn, and Townhall’s  top editor Larry O’Connor. Cabins start at $1,848. I think it would be a hoot if a lefty outlet like The Nation dispatched a writer to cruise with those fun-loving conservatives and file a report...This Fox News op-ed will probably be my favorite right-wing story of the week.  Here’s the on-the-nose headline and subhead: “America needs to stop turning every purchase into an uncomfortable tip request. Businesses are using behavioral marketing to pressure customers instead of honestly raising prices.” That's a bipartisan message everyone can embrace. Thanks Fox!...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The language is shifting, but the goal is the same.

Radical Dems Gearing Up for Woke 2.0

As the midterm elections loom in less than three months, voters had better get used to terms like “cherry-picked” and “taken out of context.”

Conservatives Should Begin Eating Woke Culture for Breakfast

source: American Spectator

Conservatives need to win the culture war with better movies, books, and stories — not political sermons.

Woke May Be Wounded But the Radical Left Is Still Infiltrating Our Politics

source: NY Post

Woke is wounded, but very much alive and still capable of doing more damage to America’s cohesion and leading gullible young minds into the weeds of society and the fantasies of revolution.

Every Democrat Should Be Asked: What About “Woke 1” Was Crazy?

source: The Federalist

No one who lived through the past 10 years should allow Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to giggle away the hell called “woke” that she and Democrats inflicted on this country.

The Unmaking of Jason Arday

source: American Greatness

Whatever else can be said about the “Jason Arday Affair,” he was not the victim.

The Death of Academic Fraud Jason Arday Won’t Shut Us Up

source: Townhall

Of course, the entirely predictable response of the institutional left to his cowardly and apparent self-deletion has been to insist, loudly and with quivering outrage, that his death is our fault. You see, we normal people pointed out that he lied about his background, his achievements, his credentials, and his work.

Will the Culture Wars Kill the WNBA?

Caitlin Clark has done for the WNBA what Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did for the NBA. The league is doing its best to squander it.

The USS Lincoln Whiners Get a Brutal Reality Check

The military moms and grandmas clutching pearls need to put a very large SOCK in it. They have NO say in deployments, the length of such, what kind of food their babies receive or don’t, their living quarters, or anything else regarding the military. They have NO say and absolutely ZERO command authority.
