TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Dec. 3, 2025

Greetings! Asleep at the wheel while steering the free world: Mainstream media took note of Trump nodding off at his cabinet meeting yesterday, the second such incident in recent days. Predictably, almost all of right-wing media ignored the story.  If it happens again, I’m calling him the Dozing Don…What’s that horrible smell in my inbox? It’s an email from Trump Fragrances offering a Cyber Monday deal of 20% off on The Donald’s Victory47 fragrance which normally sells for $199. Who’s brave enough to take whiff?… Trump family news: Kai Trump, the president’s granddaughter, will be attending University of Miami next fall.  She will also be a member of the women’s golf team, class of 2030.  Her golfing career got off to a rocky start last month.  Playing in her first LPGA event, she finished last in the Annika tournament among 108 participants in Florida and missed the cut by 17 strokes. (USA Today)…. The NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas blew it last night. The broadcast characterized Trump’s racist tirade against Somalia yesterday as merely “fiery rhetoric.” Such anodyne language normalizes the unhinged and divisive language that Trump routinely uses…The Daily Caller gives a big thumbs down – like much of mainstream media – to Trump’s jaw-dropping pardon of cocaine trafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former Honduran president. The Caller said the pardon “was an irony that beggars belief”…Who needs a laugh, besides me? Billboard has compiled a list of the top 25 comedians of this century, which will be published in increments of five this week.  Number 25 is Jon Stewart, btw…If  you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
