Greetings! As a tumultuous week closes, one constant is that the Wall Street Journal continues to hammer the country’s hapless president. Today’s lead op-ed quite rightly asks whether Donald Trump actually has a China policy. The editorial  forcefully states that Trump is “making it up as he goes.” Looks that way to me too…Michelle Obama refuted rumors of marital discord with her hubby on the “Work in Progress” podcast, reports The Daily Beast.  Still,  don’t expect the interview to quash the catty chatter.  I hope the rumors are just that. I’ve been a big fan of the former first lady since her “Tonight Show” dancing routine with Jimmy Fallon more than a decade ago (YouTube)…I’m 100% in agreement with this headline from staunchly conservative PJ Media: “Can we please stop talking about 2028 already?”…Weekend watch: Hulu’s documentary series Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror, pegged to the April 19 30^th anniversary of the attack which killed hundreds. It’s a compelling boots-on-the-ground examination of one of the deadliest homegrown acts of violence in our nation’s history and well worth watching, especially in the current climate where ultra-right extremism is so often normalized. In a related note, I  interviewed JeffreyToobin two years ago about his excellent book on the same subject, “Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism.”  Toobin makes the case that McVeigh’s transformation into a right-wing radical was shaped by the some of the same forces that brought America’s democracy to the brink of disaster on January 6, 2021…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
