TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Noem Alone: It’s been a rocky 2026 for Kristi Noem. Earlier this year, she was bounced by Trump as Secretary of Homeland Security where she deservedly earned the moniker of “ICE Barbie” for her sexually provocative peacocking during press events boasting of ICE “success.” Then images of her husband wearing enormously large fake breasts and women’s clothes appeared in the Daily Mail.  To no one’s surprise, Kristi Noem has finally thrown in the towel after 34 years of marriage. Can’t wait to see the Netflix documentary. (Biz Pac Review)...Weird: Actor and former SNL star Pete Davidson revealed that he is slowly removing all the tattoos on his body except the one of Hillary Clinton.  In 2017, he called her one of the strongest people he knows. (Breitbart)...Dept. of Irony: In Trump’s White House Accord on Super Intelligence, team POTUS made a stupid error yesterday.  Under Trump’s signature, where he is identified as the President of the United States, “United” is misspelled as Unites.  Trump’s lame staff is obviously relying on Spell Check to proofread documents. USA Today has more...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Nailed it: I love the first sentence in Thomas Friedman’s wonderful NY Times column today: "President Trump is such an awful human being that just writing about him feels degrading.” I wonder if Trump barnacle Natalie “the human printer” Harp will give the portly POTUS a hard copy of the article to gag on during his morning Big Mac...No Land to Stand on, the new nonfiction book by Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia graduate student and Palestinian activist, received a NY Times rave review this weekend. Not so fast, says the right-leaning, pro-Israeli Free Press.  Writer Eli Lake called him a scoundrel and “secular saint for progressives.” Worth noting: Andrea Peyser, a conservative columnist for the NY Post, piled on by describing Khalil as a “grifter,” and advises his admirers that he shouldn’t be compared to the likes of Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King...Learn something new every day: There’s a newly revised Christian dating app called Upward.  One of its features is something called “chivalry mode,” according to The Blaze.  I have no idea what it is but it sounds like a cool bipartisan feature...Another controversy erupts at Cornell: After university senior Jared Lederman published an essay on Medium stating that men and women were not created equal, he was ostracized at the Ivy League school.
