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

Not everything President Trump does has to be a crisis.

Lesley Stahl Says Journalists Getting Fired Is Worse Than Child Trafficking and Nazi Torture

'Oh God, this was awful,' multimillionaire "60 Minutes" correspondent laments after corporation restructures to compete in dying industry.

Scott Pelley’s Idea of Journalism

source: Wall Street Journal

By Karl Rove: Pelley claimed in his Times interview that Ms. Weiss put “a thumb on the scale” for the Trump administration in CBS’s coverage of last year’s chaos in Minneapolis. (Which CBS denies.) As a target of Mr. Pelley’s slipshod journalism, I can say with certainty that at CBS News and “60 Minutes,” there’s long been a thumb on the scale for one political party—and it isn’t the Republicans.

All Top Right-Wing News Websites Suffer Declines in May Visits

“It’s certainly an alarming development, but not a surprising one,” noted Howard Polskin, President, TheRighting. “The trend in 2026 has definitely been downward, but it feels like the descent is accelerating despite major events like the war with Iran which should have attracted visits."

Maine Kampf: Platner Clinches Dem Primary

source: Victory Girls

Platner tries to wake up and be a better version of himself every morning. Perhaps he should revisit a conversation paid with a sincere apology to Army veteran, Ted Daniels, for wishing him dead. Maybe, one morning, Platner will decide to be a “better version of himself” and not hop on the website known as the “Predator’s Paradise” to solicit erotic massages from underage girls.

Platner’s Victory Proves the Left Doesn’t Care About Moral Deficiencies

If character were truly the defining issue as we’ve been told for a decade, why didn’t the standard apply here? The answer is obvious if you just look at some of the very same Democrats who spent years lecturing Americans abut decency standards.

Fracking Saved the U.S. Economy

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The Nodfather: Looks like the portly Potus’s nocturnal tweeting and habitual Big Mac consumption is catching up to him.  Trump was caught napping in a Madison Square Garden skybox during the game 3 of the NBA finals Monday night.  Just last week, Sec. of State Marco Rubio was grilled in a Congressional hearing by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) about Trump’s proclivity to falling asleep during meetings, which Rubio denied. Lieu then produced the damning video.. Worth noting: The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal just published an op-ed praising Trump for his vigor on the eve of his 80th birthday, especially compared to Joe Biden...Dept. of No Surprises: Two-thirds of residents of Montana, Wyoming and Alaska live in a household with at least one gun, according to the Ammo website.  New Jersey and Massachusetts tied with only 14.7% of residents residing in a home with a firearm....NewsBusters has published a blistering rundown of what it considers the worst of “60 Minutes” that illustrates its alleged leftist agenda.  Among the stories cited: a September 2022 segment in which Scott Pelley “spun” Biden’s blunders, a September 2010 segment featuring correspondent Leslie Stahl praising Jimmy Carter, and correspondent Morley Safer’s 2008 segment arguing that the key to a happy citizenship is a government modeled on socialist Denmark...So Graham Platner, nobody’s idea of an ideal candidate, won the Democratic primary in the race for the Maine Senate.  For some reason, this quote often attributed to former Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld comes to mind: “You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Graham Platner made history on Tuesday, becoming the first vanity oysterman and Nazi-tattooed Hotchkiss attendee to win a major party's nomination for U.S. Senate while facing credible allegations of domestic abuse.

Graham Platner, the Socialists’ Latest Con Man

Platner might gallop all the way to the U.S. Senate in November, despite being manifestly unsuitable for the job. It would be a mad and bad decision by the Pine Tree State’s voters to send him there.

It’s Obvious That Lawmakers Don’t Want Secure Elections

source: SteveGruber.com

Democrats aren’t the only ones who don’t want secure elections. Republicans in the Senate aren’t supportive of it either. Yes, if there’s one thing Congress can still achieve with bipartisan consistency, it’s finding reasons not to tighten election security.

California Is Where Democracy Died

source: Daily Signal

California, as we’re seeing through the lenses of the Los Angeles mayoral race, is a dysfunctional state. The Democrats talk a lot about democracy dying in darkness. Democracy is dying in California.
