Greetings! Marjorie Taylor Greene is in the right-wing media crosshairs. American Thinker has dropped a devastating article charging that looney Rep. MTG (R-GA) has lined her pockets big time since joining the House of Representatives. “In 2021, Greene entered Congress with an estimated net worth of $700,000,” wrote Thinker’s Joseph Ford Cotto. “By April 2025, her net worth had ballooned to $22 million, driven largely by stock market investments that consistently outperformed even seasoned Lower Manhattan pros. That kind of rapid financial ascent raises red flags. After all, the average congressional salary is $174,000.” Ford attributes Greene’s road to riches to savvy stock market trading. Perhaps too savvy. In 2023, her earnings averaged nearly 19% which goes against her image as a for-the-people outsider pitted against wealthy one-percenters. Cotto comes close to accusing her of insider trading: Greene’s “ability to repeatedly ‘buy the dip’ with such precision undermines the notion of dumb luck and erodes her anti-establishment credibility.” MSNBC and USA Today are among a few outlets that reported this story weeks ago, but American Thinker is the only conservative publication that I’m aware of that has reported on it…Ka-ching: Meta stock skyrocketed more than 12% after reporting second quarter results yesterday. If you’re a Meta investor, my congratulations. But for anyone who’s read the recently published book Careless People, the blistering exposé about Facebook and its role propelling Donald Trump into office in 2017, it’s hard to feel warm and fuzzy about Meta’s gangbusters earnings report.. Worth noting: A sequel to the award-winning feature film “The Social Network” is in development with “Succession’s” Jeremy Strong touted as leading contender to play Mark Zuckerberg. (Deadline)…Weekend Watch: “Real Time with Bill Maher” returns to HBO Max tonight after a short hiatus. The contrarian Maher recently said that Trump’s tariffs seemed to be working. I wonder if he’ll address that topic tonight, especially with markets tanking on today’s tariff news….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
