TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Weird. The free Trump White House daily newsletter that I receive every day featured a salute to Mother’s Day showcasing The Donald’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod Trump with this caption: “The Mother Who Saved America.” The president has quite a Jesus complex brewing...Funny. Killer Saturday Night Live open this weekend featuring Kash Patel (played by Aziz Ansari), Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost) and Brett Kavanaugh (Matt Damon) in a DC bar doing shots.  The jokes were extremely unflattering and I wonder how they landed with the trio, especially the thin-skinned Hegseth....Former TIME magazine editor and writer Richard Zoglin makes some stark comparisons between the media maverick Ted Turner, who died last week, and Donald Trump, especially as it pertains to philanthropy. “(A)s he grew richer and more famous, Turner plowed his money into public-spirited ventures that never would have occurred to Donald Trump,” writes Zoglin in a column for TheRighting. “(Turner) was open-minded, naïvely optimistic, confident in his ability to affect the world in positive ways. He had the life spirit. Trump is the death star”...The Trump-controlled Truth Social platform outperformed by a wide margin all other news websites monitored by TheRighting in April.  According to TheRighting’s research, year-over-year visits ballooned 45% last month.  All other news websites decreased except for a very modest increase at the Epoch Times.  The surprising three-month trend shows that the war with Iran is not driving more eyeballs to news websites...Kash Patel has penned an op-ed for Fox extolling the virtues of his agency's “AI overhaul” which he claims is producing record-breaking results for the bureau.  He concluded his essay writing, “America is safer than we’ve been in decades.” (Cue the gagging)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

When the Trump administration began its crackdown on campus antisemitism that had proliferated when it was backed by deans and faculty members, many liberal Jewish groups were uncomfortable with the blunt confrontational style of the White House and members of Congress like Rep.

source: Human Events

One of the greatest dangers to conservative governance isn't coming from the left's policies alone. It's coming from the millions of culturally conservative Americans who simply don't show up at the polls: like outdoorsmen, Second Amendment supporters, farmers and homeschool parents.

The humor site Boing Boing offers this biting headline about his encounter with the venomous arachnid: Spider’s Mouth Infected by Kyle Rittenhouse... Did not know this: This headline from Fox News caught my animal-loving eye: “Millions of barn animals die every year in barn fires – a crisis we can no longer ignore.” Thanks for alerting me, Fox, to this worthy issue...In a warm tribute to media maverick Ted Turner, TheRighting contributor Max Robins points to stark differences between the visionary CNN founder and Donald Trump, notably when it comes to philanthropy:  “In complete contrast to The Donald’s reportedly sham charitable contributions and demeaning treatment of cherished institutions, Ted gave much of his wealth away, including $1 billion to the United Nations. He funded numerous non-profits to fight climate change and promote nuclear disarmament. Without hesitation, he’d often say the most important part of his legacy was his environmental activism”....Weekend Watch: Want  an upbeat escape to Italy and don’t have the time and cash for the trip? Stanley Tucci, the award-winning actor and expert on all things Italian has just the ticket. The multipart series “Tucci in Italy,” bows on National Geographic starting Monday.  Here’s the full opening episode available on YouTube to enjoy now....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
