TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Jun. 10, 2024

Greetings! Betcha didn’t know that June was “Hetero Awareness Month.”  This month, the Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho (natch), celebrates heterosexuality with free beer Monday for guys who identify as straight. Hetero couples and women get discounts too. No word on what kind of I.D one needs to prove you’re Old State Saloon discount worthy. (Fox News)…Youth book publishing giant Scholastic just released a “Read with Pride” resource guide and  The Federalist is up in arms. “The guide, associated website, and list of books and resources all, as the left loves to boast, unapologetically send parents, educators, and kids toward the most extreme left-wing sources on LGBT ideology,” opines The Federalist’s  Chad Felix Greene…Dept. of Grievance: I’m spending half my week deleting and blocking political text messages from both sides of the aisle.  It’s  a Sisyphean task; the more messages I block, the more seem to flood my inbox and phone. Enough political messaging pollution already…. Doug Burgum got a huge boost this weekend in The Donald’s Veepstakes.  The NY Times gave the North Dakota governor one wet kiss of a profile.  Tiny Granite Grok begs to differ with The Times, saying Trump selecting Burgum as a running mate would be a “terrible mistake”… Former TIME magazine senior editor Richard Zoglin offers up an ad campaign for Biden to use against Trump.  Key line: “He says he’s out for you, but he’s only out for revenge.” Sounds like ad copy for a horror movie.
