Greetings!  Popular podcaster Candace Owens has jumped the shark.  Earlier this week, the right wing pundit  declared French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife was actually a biological man. That was too much even for the staunchly conservative Washington Examiner which declared “Candace Owens has lost her mind”…Right wing media attacks on Jill Biden are increasing and getting nastier. Townhall slimes the First Lady today…Support for same-sex marriage declining.  That’s according to the Daily Signal, which quotes a report from the Public Religion Research Institute.  However, still 67% of respondents support the concept, down from 69% in 2022…Richard Zoglin, ex-Time Magazine culture critic and author of the recent book Elvis in Vegas, offers a  laser-sharp deconstruction of a Donald Trump speech in North Carolina on his blog.  Zoglin shreds The Donald on his noxious style and substance…A growing number of right wing websites are entering the documentary biz. Blaze Media is the latest. Today, the Glenn Beck-founded site drops Texas vs. the Feds. The documentary chronicles Texas Governor Gregg Abbott’s battles with federal border agents…The right wing outlet FrontPage may soon be out of business, due to ongoing troubles its parent company has with the IRS, according to Freedom Center founder David Horowitz…Dept. of Good News? The American Conservative throws shade at two autocrats you may have read about.  The headline says it all: “Trump and Orban Are Both Weaker Than They Seem”….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
