Greetings! Veteran  GOP consultant Karl Rove gives Donald Trump some unsolicited advice choosing a running mate: “Don’t sweat it because it doesn’t matter that much,” he opines in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.  Nonetheless, my money is on The Donald selecting Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) because of her epic  beat down of the elite college presidents last December.  Many voters are discouraged by campus protests, and Stefanik’s anti-elitist vibe might resonate with millions and could be a plus for Trump…New York’s Celebrate Israel Parade is scheduled for June 2 with revelers marching up Manhattan’s posh Fifth Avenue.  The parade is considered the largest confab in the world supporting Israel. Sad to say, but it seems like an inevitable target for pro-Palestinian protesters.…Conservative political consultant and scribe Ryan James Girdusky’s National Populist weekly Substack newsletter is gaining fans on the right…She may have a point: On her hit podcast, Megyn Kelly blasts Stormy Daniels’ sex romp courtroom testimony, according to the NY Post. On her podcast, Kelly calls it “bullshit #MeToo revisionism.”  I’m glad Daniels is pulling back the covers on her alleged tryst with Donald “you remind me of my daughter” Trump, but her courtroom  recollections made it seem darker and more sinister than previous descriptions over the past several years….Weekend Watch:  The Netflix series, A Man in Full, based on the bestselling Tom Wolfe novel about an unsavory Atlanta real estate developer, got slammed by critics. I’ve watched four episodes and I beg to differ…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Greetings! Watch yer’ back Pulitzer Prizes.  You’ve got competitor on the right. On Tuesday -- the day after the Pulitzers were announced – the conservative Media Research Council (MRC) unveiled the winners of its third annual Bulldog Awards, “honoring conservatives in the media who truly deserve accolades yet will never receive them from the news media establishment.”  Among the winners: Best Podcast, Ben Shapiro (good choice but Steve Bannon and Megyn Kelly might be fuming), Outstanding Columnist (Selena Zito, solid pick but Townhall’s wicked and wickedly funny Kurt Schlichter would have received my vote), and Best Social Media Personality (The Babylon Bee’s Seth Dillon nabbed the crown leaving Donald “Truth Social” out in the cold).  Here’s why the MRC created the awards, according to its president Brent Bozell III: “Like everything else the left controls, major journalism awards are rigged to reward people who advance their most radical agenda priorities. If you want to win a Pulitzer, write about 'climate change' or 'systemic racism' or 'reproductive health' or promote ‘Russian collusion.’ If you want to win a Bulldog Award, tell the truth”… The conservative Free Press has an exclusive interview with the Columbia University custodian trapped by an angry mob who fought back against one protestor…I’m guessing Kristi Noem hasn’t had any trouble this week getting her kids to do their chores or eat their vegetables…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

Biden’s Bully Diplomacy Disgraces America

source: WND

If voters do return Biden and the Democratic Party to power, world leaders from Japan to Saudi Arabia are going to be making alternative plans that do not include the United States of America. The re-election of Joe Biden would change world alliances and attitudes and result in the isolation of America.

Never Trumpers Dump Biden After Israel Betrayal

Biden’s people bet that they could slap an arms embargo on Israel and still draw in Never Trumpers. That’s proving to be a bad bet.

Biden’s Silence on Campus Protests Beyond Disturbing

source: Newmax

Pro-Palestinian followers have committed heinous acts including destroying property, injuring Jewish citizens and students who are simply trying to get to class, and occupying our hardworking police forces, when they have their hands full enough as it is. Biden hasn't said a word.

CNN’s Hyped Biden Interview Was a Tongue Bath

source: NewsBusters

CNN’s press release announcing anchor Erin Burnett’s sit-down with President Joe Biden promised an interview. Clearly, that didn’t happen. Instead, we got pure, unadulterated Regime Media sycophancy.

Biden’s Insane Interview with Erin Burnett Should Be the Last Straw for American Voters

source: RedState

Biden is something other than a senile old man who wouldn't know the truth if it punched him in his botox-stretched face. He is objectively evil.

Biden Offers to Turn U.S. Military Personnel into Saudi Royal Bodyguards

source: The American Conservative

Biden took office talking of his commitment to human rights and determination to turn MbS, as the crown prince is known, into a “pariah.” Now the administration is proposing to turn the U.S. military into a modern Janissary corps, a bodyguard for the thousands of royal princes who rule over their countrymen. It is well past time to stop deferring to the KSA.

Stormy Brings Back That Sunny Day

Alvin Bragg looks like a fool, but that’s the way it goes when your goal is to humiliate President Trump.

The Stormy Daniels Sex Trial

The salacious details of her testimony were irrelevant to the charges against Trump.

Dem Kangaroo Court Against Trump Is Only Backfiring

source: NY Post

Banal titillation barely worthy of a “Real Housewives” episode that has been elevated to the gravitas of a felony trial. We have heard it all before. Dems already wheeled out the scandal in 2016 and it didn’t work then. Why would it work eight years later, and why now, six months before the election?

Appeasing the Pro-Hamas Protestors, Puts the Universities in Legal Peril

source: National Review

The promise of scholarships, faculty positions, and resources based on national origin is a violation of civil-rights law.

Colleges Must Stop Admitting Foreign Students for Two Years

We have a country to protect, and tough times call for tough measures.

Can Frat Bros Save the Republic?

source: The Federalist

Fraternity men don’t tear down statues, they erect them. They stand in sharp contrast to the current prevailing ideologies that pervade university campuses to disparage the history of America and view it as a racist, oppressive place. Fraternity members are taught to love their country and improve it through stewardship and involvement in their communities.

The Focus of the 2024 Pulitzer Prizes Isn’t Journalism

source: Townhall

The Pulitzers have taken on a bit of a tarnished appearance.  These days you are more likely to hear the name of this award used in a punchline; on social media frequently a completely mockable dose of journalism will have some announcing derisively the reporter should earn a Pulitzer nomination.

White Men Deserve Gratitude, Not Demonization

By Matt Walsh: Their goal is to erase white men from the workforce, as punishment for doing everything so well, for so long.

Outrageous Netflix special draws little outrage, calls for cancelation.

Our Daughters Will Reap the Consequences of Feminists Killing Boy Scouts

source: Daily Caller

The transgender cult has thrived in the absence of strong men. If we have any hope of fixing this travesty, it simply starts with allowing men the freedom to learn how to be keepers of society.
