TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings? Why is grandpa angry? That’s the hilarious tweet Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson posted during Donald Trump’s prime-time bitch-fest last night.  The best thing that can be said about the unhinged POTUS rant was that it lasted only 18 minutes. I was struck by his angry tone and rapid-fire delivery. It was nearly impossible to fully absorb the content. I actually wondered during his presentation if he was medicated. As Rick Wilson joked (I think) in another tweet : “You know, teleprompters have a speed setting. This one is clearly on ‘coke binge.’” Worth noting: In the speech, Trump announced a new government service designed to sell drugs to consumers from Pfizer at discounted prices.  It’s called – naturally – TrumpRx. Check out the weird home page that features The Donald  sitting in what appears to be an AI-created Oval Office…Yesterday, Amazon  dropped the trailer for its feature-length doc “Melania.” It touts an inside look at the reclusive First Lady during the 20 days leading up to the Trump 2.0 inauguration. “Melania” debuts in movie theaters January 30.  Shortly after the documentary’s theatrical release, couch potatoes can catch the film on Amazon Prime Video...TPUSA’s four day AmericaFest 2025 kicks off today in Phoenix.  It features the cream of right-wing royalty including Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Erika Kirk...That was quick! After less than a year on the job, Dan Bongino is bolting from his #2 position at the FBI and is likely to return to the much more lucrative life of a conspiracy-slinging right-wing podcaster...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

The Vanity Fair Interview Was a “Targeted” Hit Job on Susie Wiles and Entire Trump Team

source: NY Post

When it comes to hit jobs, the 10,000-word Vanity Fair spread on Susie Wiles is a classic of the genre. Chris Whipple, a veteran journalist, producer and author with a career spanning the constellation of left-wing media has craftily framed the president’s chief of staff in a narrative of typical Trump-derangement fantasies.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Donald Trump has one staunch defender of his noxious comments about Rob Reiner: disgraced ex-congressman George Santos. Here’s what the serial liar and convicted conman posted on X.   Lucky for the Looney Tunes Santos, last October Trump pardoned him after he served three months of a seven-year sentence for fraud and identity theft...Olivia who? In one short week, Vanity Fair has flipped the script on its tainted brand identity for platforming the much maligned  and scandal-ridden journo Olivia Nuzzi.  Now the pundit class is praising the Conde Nast outlet for its revealing interview with Trump’s chief of staff Susan Wiles that reveals a dysfunctional White House staff. Worth noting: Check out the two-part article's group photo of The Donald’s senior team and Wiles’ creepy deer-in-the-headlights gaze...Social news: It’s wedding bells for Kyle Rittenhouse! In 2020, when he was 17, Rittenhouse became a right-wing darling after he shot three men, killing two of them, during a BLM demonstration in Kenosha, WI. Rittenhouse, who was acquitted of all charges, got hitched six months ago. PJ Media has the details. More nuptial news: Mazel tov to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump Jr. (Betcha never expected to see those word in the same sentence.) MTG is engaged to Real America's Voice White House Correspondent Brian Glenn. And Don Jr. is betrothed to socialite Bettina Anderson. The Washington Post has the details on both couples. Worth noting: Ms. Anderson has a degree in art history from that lefty hotbed Columbia University, per this Business Insider profile...Wednesday watch: Trump speaks to the nation tonight at 9 p.m. ET. Maybe he’ll apologize for his monstrous post about the murder of Rob Reiner? Don’t hold your breath...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Thank God Rachel Maddow Only Appears Once a Week

source: Conservative View from NH

By Ray Cardello: I do not understand what attracts MSNOW viewers to Rachel. She is not attractive at all, and wearing the same drab, black attire gives the illusion of watching a rerun. Her facial gestures are annoying and detract from what she is saying, which is often not a bad thing.

Trump’s Response to Reiner Murders Was Unnecessary and Awful

source: Victory Girls

The president won no friends or admirers with these comments. We know he is capable of great compassion, but it makes it very hard to convince people of that when he spouts off with this level of unnecessary ugliness. It’s an outright failure all around, and someone close to him with the ability to read the room should tell him so.

Minnesota Fraud Proves Welfare Is Broken

source: Fox News

The failure of political leaders on many fronts bears some of the blame. But the main culprit is the massive federal welfare system that annually passes hundreds of billions of dollars down to states to dole out, with the philosophy that the more people on the rolls, the better.
