TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Jun. 6, 2025

Greetings!…Welcome to the latest edition of “The Real Housewives of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.” Or is “Two Bears, One Cave” more apropos?  Most right-wing media are siding with The Donald in the epic political divorce. The National Review terms the Musk/Trump conflict “just another episode of ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’” Fox’s resident wit Greg Gutfeld got serious on “The Five” and said we should “give them credit for making their battle transparent,” reports the  The Gateway Pundit.  And Breitbart’s John Nolte attempted to put a positive spin on the spat, claiming that Trump’s counter-attack on Musk upends the narrative that POTUS only cares about the super-rich. The Free Press describes it as  the  “breakup of the year.” Need a laugh?  Infowars offers a roundup of more than a dozen hilarious memes featuring the two bloviating billionaires at war. Maybe the only winner in this mega-battle is Joe Biden.  After days of dominating the news cycle, nobody is talking about Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s “Original Sin,” chronicling the coverup of the ex-president’s cognitive decline…D-Day began 81 years ago as brave allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, in a massive effort to defeat the Nazi axis of evil. Thank you, brave soldiers…Weekend Watch: This is an easy call.  Saturday night at 7 p.m. ET, CNN will broadcast a live performance of Good Night, Good Luck.  The Tony Award-nominated play stars George Clooney as the  legendary CBS newsman Edward Murrow who stood up to red-baiting Senator Joseph McCarthy.  It will also be streamed on Max. BTW, if you need something lighter, and I mean much lighter, try the Netflix miniseries Sirens…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
