Greetings! Monday laugh:  In a weekend tweet, Anthony “the Mooch” Scaramucci, who only lasted 10 days in the Trump White House, thanked JD Vance “for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire.  I didn’t think it would happen, but here we are and I’m grateful”…In a scathing editorial, the reliably right-leaning Wall Street Journal threw shade on Vance’s rocky first weeks as The Donald’s No. 2: “An old political saw is that the best VP choice is one who gets applause upon announcement and then is never heard from again. You can tell that doesn’t apply to Mr. Vance since Mr. Trump is being asked if he still believes he made the right choice. He says he does, but the Trump campaign can’t be happy about having to defend Mr. Vance instead of focusing on Kamala Harris’s many extreme views”…Melania Trump’s memoir Melania drops on September 17.   I’ve made a promise to myself not to  snark about the ex-First Lady’s foray into the world of letters.  Now if there was an iota of a chance that the Sphinx-like former First Lady was going to pull back the covers on her bizarre relationship with the ex-POTUS, I might be eager to read it. Instead, I’ll have to settle for 2020’s Melania and Me, by ex-senior advisor Stephanie Winston Wolkoff…Ninety-nine days until the election. Nail-biting time….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
