TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Jan. 31, 2025

Greetings! Shocking but not surprising: No right wing media outlet that I surveyed this morning slammed Trump’s vile comments implying that DEI was the cause of the DC air tragedy…Is it just me, or was this January the longest, most awful January this century? So many terrible events crammed into 31 days.  Can’t wait until it’s in my rear view mirror….Worth noting: National Review criticized both Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. for being unsuitable candidates for their powerful federal positions and backpedaling just enough to secure their nominations…Natalie Winters, the 23-year-old executive editor and co-host of the podcast “Bannon’s War Room,” reportedly the youngest journalist to attend White House press briefings, is defending herself from detractors, per Outkick. If you check out the images of Ms. Winters (especially the one standing in the White House driveway) you’ll understand the uproar.  She’s also taking heat for her views on transgenderism, Islam and her spelling flubs…Not on my playlist: The pro-Trump song “Daddy’s Home” is a fan favorite in Trumpworld, sung by Canadian MAGA rapper Tom MacDonald.  An almost unrecognizable Roseanne Barr shows up in the video….Weekend Watch: September 5 recreates the slaughter of 11 Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics after Palestinian terrorists stormed their living quarters and held them hostage. Almost all of the tense scenes take place in the control room of ABC Sports which was broadcasting the games.  It’s a tight, taut drama with a gut punch that is especially relevant today.  In theaters now….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
