TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Jul. 10, 2025

Greetings! Guess which social media site got more visits in June: Trump’s Truth Social or the lefty-friendly upstart Bluesky? It’s Bluesky by a mile, according to data I gleaned from the audience measurement firm SimilarWeb. Bluesky generated almost 172 million visits last month; Truth Social had 39 million. In case you’re wondering, X attracted 4.4 billion visits…. More bad news for billionaire Elon Musk.  Blaze Media reports that Tesla dealerships are stuck with “EVs that no one wants to buy because of the elimination of the electric vehicle tax credit.”  “Let’s not sugarcoat this,”  wrote journalist Lauren Fix. “EV incentives overwhelmingly benefit upper-middle-class and wealthy Americans” Don’t feel too bad for the moody Musk.  He’s almost half-way to becoming a trillionaire…Uh oh.  Left-leaning Monty Python fans aren’t going to like this.  Python alum Terry Gillian says that Trump saved us from humorless woke scolds, according to Hollywood in Toto…Dept. of Sticks & Stones: Lifezette called Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) “dumb”..The truth takes a hit: Newsmax reports that Logically, Britain’s largest disinformation monitor and fact-checker, has gone bankrupt…The National Review calls Trump’s new tariffs “reckless.” No argument from me on that assessment…Comedian Anthony Anderson is guesting hosting on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this week and to the surprise of no one, Trump is the butt of many of his spot-on jokes.  For example, he mentioned the new movies that will be streaming on Trump’s Truth+ platform.  They include “Third Reich from the Sun,” “The Amazing Racist” and “Friday Night Whites.” NewsBusters is not laughing….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
