TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Society News: Donald Trump acolyte and ex-advisor Hope Hicks is engaged, per the New York Post. Hicks, 35, who tearfully testified Friday in Defendant Trump’s election interference and hush money trial, is set to tie the knot with Goldman Sachs senior executive James Donovan, 58…Another of The Donald’s sycophants, Kellyanne Conway, brought her motor mouth to HBO's “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday night. In classic Conway fashion, she spewed a perpetual stream of pro-Trump talking points and anti-Biden jabs, punctuating sentences with a coquettish smirk. Still, the Queen of Alternative Facts misstated that Trump was the only president in the last 72 years to not start a war. Props to Maher for correcting her on the spot by referencing Jimmy Carter’s presidency. “I think it’s incorrect, but I’ll give it to you,” she cackled…We’re going to need a bigger gag order: Over the weekend, Trump truthed on Truth Social to “arrest Jack Smith. He is a criminal.” In case you’re not hip to right wing lingo, a “truth” is a tweet on the Truth Social platform. (Somebody call the irony police.)…Celebrity Updates: Jerry Seinfeld’s spouse Jessica kicked in $5,000 to fund last week’s pro-Israel demonstration at UCLA that turned violent (Newsweek). Her traditionally apolitical husband has been drawing heat from the left for statements on the war in Gaza….Yada yada yada: Seinfeld is giving a commencement address at Duke University on May 12. Expect pro-Palestinian demonstrations…TheRighting’s redesigned website launched Friday afternoon. Take a look…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. — Howard

Campus Tumult Highlights Risk of Reckless Immigration Policies

Biden Is Getting Dumber

In olden times, we might see the Dems boot him to the sidelines and bring in a new starting quarterback. The Party of Youth and Diversity is struggling with the fact that His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama did nothing to build up the bench and, in fact, left it bare.

Biden Lets Public Health Go Up in Smoke

Biden Is Committing Political Suicide by Appeasing Hamas

By acceding to his young and hyper-online campaign staffers who have imbibed the woke catechism and thus view Hamas jihadists as “oppressed” victims of Israeli “oppressors,” the president, or “Dr.” Jill Biden, or whoever else controls Uncle Joe, is setting himself up for failure.

This sounds wonderful in the abstract since it allows every student a chance at higher education. The reality, however, is that we have incentivized universities to create hordes of debt-ridden, credentialed nitwits.

It’s Time to Defund the Universities
