Greetings! Who’s paying close attention to the U.S. military buildup for a possible war with Iran? In his latest column, Dan Froomkin of Press Watch has harsh words for the mainstream media. “Agog” at the coverage, Froomkin says the reporting has been, “stenographic, and feeble when it should be vigorously alerting the American people to how dangerous and counterproductive the war could be.” Worth noting: The American Conservative opposes U.S. military action against Iran. “Don’t do it, Mr. President,” cautions senior editor Andrew Day...FBI Director Kash Patel’s Fox News op-ed reads like a list of accomplishments on his Linked-In page. Here’s the gist of what he wrote: America is safer today than a year ago...Obnoxious: Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr, posted a shirtless work-out video of him and Trump supporter Kid Rock. The looney vaccine denier HHS chief appears incredibly fit for a 70-year-old or even someone decades younger. Still, his look-at-me video fits his deserved image of an unhinged narcissist. Put your shirt on, put the camera away and stop being such a wack job. Children are dying of measles on your watch and you’re peacocking in the gym...Weekend Watch: Speaking of topless Kennedys, Love Story: JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette is a soapy alternative to Olympic competition. It’s wildly uneven but Paul Anthony Kelly (shirtless at times) and Sarah Pidgeon shine as the doomed, volatile couple. Available on Hulu...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! I’m seeing a lot of positive buzz around Texas state representative James Talarico who has announced his candidacy for the 2026 U.S. Senate race in the Lone Star state. There’s talk that the 36-year-old could be destined for even great political fortunes should he become the first Democrat in nearly four decades to capture a U.S. Senate seat in Texas. To see what all the fuss is about, check out his seven-minute interview with MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnel from Tuesday night. Flashback: Sen. Lloyd Bentsen was the last Texas Senate Democrat and he became the party’s Veep nominee in 1988....Fox News announced a Sean Hannity’s twice-weekly podcast dubbed “Hang Out” that launches March 3. Listen for the bombastic Fox News star and Trump Whisperer to feature loving chats with politicos and celebrities. Good podcast name BTW, Sean...Kash Patel showed up on Dan Bongino’s podcast yesterday and the Epstein files were never mentioned. The Daily Caller has details on the FBI’s Director’s buddy/buddy chitchat with his ex-Deputy Director... Three cheers for Teen Vogue: The digital kid sister of the iconic fashion magazine published a feisty op-ed advising how to start an ICE neighborhood watch. The piece ends with a call to action: “As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together.” Blaze Media characterizes stories in Teen Vogue as “extremist propaganda”....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Why Assassination Threats Against Trump Are Increasing Daily

Accusing an American president of being another Hitler is an implicit call for his assassination, since the most moral response to the REAL Hitler was to attempt to kill him.

Colbert Is Nothing But a Parasite Living on Trump’s Thin Skin

source: NY Post

All Colbert does is complain that his free speech is being snuffed out by Trump. It’s a cornerstone of his long running campaign to bolster the myth that he was cancelled by CBS for his anti-Trump crusade, not his bloated budget, shrinking ratings and turning his show into a poor man’s version of MSNBC’s greatest hits.

Randy Fine Said Nothing Wrong

source: Townhall

Criticism of Fine's comments seems to suggest that it's somehow wrong to value your dog over Muslims who put you in the position to choose. Faced with such a decision, I'd value my tuna sandwich over those Muslims, and I absolutely despise tuna.

Karoline Leavitt’s Continued Manhandling of the Press Is Pure Poetry

By Stephen Kruiser: I would like to say how grateful I am to be on the side where we can say that a woman is "manhandling" someone and not have to deal with a gaggle of male feminist professors getting their gender neutral undergarments in a wad.

Another Trans Shooter and Another Leftist Media Blackout

source: SteveGruber.com

In coverage of the recent Rhode Island ice rink shooting involving Robert Dorgan, it became apparent pretty soon that the shooter (also known as “Roberta”) was trans. It took relatively minimal investigation by folks on X to figure it out. But CNN and MSYesterday didn’t want to tell anyone the truth and referred to him as a “person” and a “shooter.

The Rise in Transgender Killers Proves That We Have a Mental Health Crisis Unfolding

source: NY Post

We can’t continue to engage in the delusion that one can actually change their gender, that “gender-reassignment surgery” is more than just mutilation and, of course, that the urge to change one’s birth gender isn’t already a mental health emergency in and of itself that has recently become accompanied by horrific violence.

The Canonization of Jesse Jackson

source: Washington Examiner

If a person only saw the obituaries at legacy news outlets, they might come away believing this charismatic civil rights leader with a talent for alliteration, turns of phrase, and self-promotion was a beacon of decency, a defender of life, and a uniter of people.
