TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings. Number of the day: 80.  Donald Trump turns 80 on Sunday.  Other prominent personalities will also celebrate their 80th birthday later this year including Sylvester Stallone (July 6), former Biden Sec. of the Treasury Janet Yellen (August 13), Bill Clinton (August 19), Tommy Lee Jones (September 15), Laura Bush (November 4), and Steven Spielberg (December 18)...VP JD Vance will parachute behind enemy lines on Tuesday, June 16.  That’s when he’s set to appear on ABC’s liberal-leaning yakfest “The View.” He’ll be  promoting his new book Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, which drops early next week. NewsBusters has the details....Scott Pelley doesn’t matter. That’s the conclusion of this essay published in Lyceum, which I had never read before.  But Trump obviously does, because he linked to the article in a Truth Social post last night...Weekend Watch: Let’s get ready to rumble. UFC 250 is slated to be televised Sunday at 8 p.m. (EDT) live from the lawn of the White House in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday and the president’s 80th birthday.  The desecration of the White House grounds will be streamed live on Paramount+.  If I were a TV programmer, I would immediately schedule a screening of the 2006 Mike Judge film Idiocracy, which essentially foretold the idiotic low-brow instincts of the Trump administration a decade before The Donald took office. Available on Tubi for free. Also worth watching: Game 5 of the NBA finals featuring the miracle NY Knicks vs the San Antonio Spurs. Saturday, 8:30 p.m. EDT ABC...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Platner Playbook

We think Graham Platner is unsuitable for the Senate because he is a damaged, commie-loving, Israeli-hating nepo baby—precisely the opposite of the working-class man of the people he claims to be.

Graham Platner’s Brain-Dead Baloney Is the Real Scandal

source: NY Post

Graham Platner is the embodiment of performative left-wing populism, whose empty rhetoric makes former Vice President Kamala Harris sound weighty by comparison.

Pete Buttigieg Left America’s Aviation System Offside

source: Townhall

As demand for air travel surges, passengers are facing an elevated risk of delays and disruptions caused by a precariously overstretched air traffic control system. Fans can thank former Transportation Secretary and 2028 Dem hopeful Pete Buttigieg for dropping the ball. Rather than tackling problems head-on, he allowed them to fester.

Jasmine Crockett and Austin Metcalf Murder Lies

From the moment she first opened her piehole in a U.S. House meeting, Jasmine Crockett has been a flame throwing fire chaser. She gives Black Fatigue a whole new meaning.

America on the Brink

The American people are an optimistic, trusting sort, but they have their limits. At 250 years, America is at a turning point. What will the future look like? The prediction? Cloudy. Undetermined. HopefullyAmericans will fight for and keep their freedom.

Covid Lockdowns Were an Elite-Made Tragedy

source: Wall Street Journal

What a relief the pandemic is behind us. It was awful. On that we all agree. The only honest conclusion is that the official reaction of government, the public-health authorities, the scientific establishment and most of the media was way off the mark. So far off the mark in some cases that historians of the future will wonder if we lost our minds.

Republicans Crush Democrats in Congressional Baseball Game

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Word of the day: Inflation. In a head-scratching moment during an Oval Office meeting with reporters yesterday, Trump blurted out, “I love inflation.” Axios described his comment as Trump gifting “Dems ready-made midterm ads”...Book Buzz: The NY Times published a long article based on the upcoming nonfiction blockbuster book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. The riveting story, written by reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, focuses heavily on the Trump administration’s struggles to get control of the rapidly escalating Epstein scandal threatening the president in the summer of 2025.  The book hits retailers on June 23 and I’m sure Trump and his advisors are bracing for the fallout...Nosedive! All of the top 20 right-wing websites that TheRighting monitors declined in year-over-year traffic according to our exclusive analysis.  That hasn’t happened in recent memory.  And mainstream media sites like CNN and the NY Times also decreased.  I blame the unprecedented decline on the exponential growth of news and opinion options available on an ever-expanding galaxy of platforms... Subscriber Vince Massimini pushed back on my description of yesterday’s Wall Street Journal op-ed about Trump’s health in which I said that the Journal’s editorial board was guilty of “praising trump for his vigor on the eve of his 80th birthday.” Massimini wrote, “Did you read the article? It did complement Trump but had concerns of age”... Saddest people in NYC: I’m sure there were some Knick ticketholders who left last night’s Game 4 at halftime in the NBA finals with the hometown team down by 27 points. They missed a comeback for the ages.  Knick fever has united the Big Apple and it’s wonderful to see. And if the Knicks capture the title – their first since 1973 – does Trump invite them to the White House? If so, do the Knicks accept?...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Dems Will Freak Out When They Get to Hell and Find Out How Few Republicans Are There

source: PJ Media

Watching the Democrats torture rationalization to justify supporting the scumbag Platner hasn't been surprising, of course. Democrats don't have any principles that can be violated  or sensibilities that can be offended. If Ted Bundy were still alive and running from prison as a Democrat in Florida, they'd vote for him.

Dems’ Struggle to Attract Men Reflects Deep Disconnect

source: WND

By Ben Shapiro: Over the past decade, much of the political and cultural conversation on the left has framed masculinity in negative terms. Men are frequently described as "toxic" or privileged. While these criticisms are often directed at specific behaviors, many ordinary men hear something broader: that their role in society is being diminished or dismissed.

Don’t Panic About Trump’s Iran Strategy Just Yet

source: Townhall

By Kurt Schlichter: We keep hearing how Trump doesn’t have time because the midterms are coming and those gas prices have to come down, but it’s the Iranians who better listen to that clock ticking. Trump’s worst-case scenario is that he loses the House. Their worst-case scenario is that they lose their heads, and that’s what Trump’s betting on.
