TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Feb. 26, 2026

Greetings! In a Truth Social post yesterday afternoon, Trump called for the “institutionalization” of Reps. Ilham Omar and Rashida Tlaib because they are “mentally deranged,” “sick,” “corrupt” and have low IQs.  Trump really must have given his thesaurus a real workout while uncorking those slurs. He also insulted Robert De Niro and Rosie O’Donnell in the same post…Extremist Candace Owens, right-wing media’s fastest-growing podcaster (here’s my research), has a new series out this week attacking Erika Kirk. She is the popular widow of slain activist Charlie Kirk who was killed last September. In an episode that dropped February 12, she discussed Mrs. Kirk’s alleged relationship with a girl of 15 when she was 25.  It also explored Kirk’s alleged involvement with sex trafficking charities, her mother’s alleged business connections to child trafficking, and potential links to Jeffrey Epstein. Explosive charges. But Owens’ business model is to use outrage to draw audiences...PJ Media suggests quite emphatically that the superintendent of the massive Los Angeles public school system is an illegal immigrant. “(W)e can state that Alberto Carvalho not only actively opposes ICE operations and has allowed teachers to use school resources illegally to protect aliens, he also previously admitted on video to having been an illegal alien himself.” Police raided his home Wednesday morning…Just the News came up with a new word I hadn’t read before: hate-triots.  The context is in this headline: Trump Draws Clear Midterm Battle Lines: Patriots vs “Hate-triots”…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
