Greetings! Well, no one’s talking about Jeffrey Epstein this week….Gas pains. Just last week Trump boasted during his State of the Union address about low gas prices including $1.85 in Iowa (which was later disputed).  Turns out, gas prices have risen 5 cents a gallon since the weekend and analysts expect the prices to rise much higher. (NBC News)…An observation about Secretary of War Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth after watching him during yesterday’s press briefing.  He comes in too hot especially in a time of war, instead of being measured and “cool.” “Hairgel” struts around like he thinks he’s hot stuff but he comes off as the opposite of cool…Speaking of unhinged lapdog Trump officials, Kash Patel and his singer girlfriend Alexis Wilkins can’t seem to avoid the spotlight. The NY Times dropped a devastating article over the weekend about the extensive FBI protection needed to surround the singer, about 20 years junior to the FBI’s top dog.  The Times called her “one of the best protected country singers in the United States”…Conservative political commentator and founder of The Blaze Glenn Beck predicts that Bill Gates could be the first American to go to jail over his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein….Dept. of Broken Records: Trump posted  (again) on Truth Social that American elections are “rigged” and a “laughingstock all over the world.” Doesn’t he have something better to do like prevent WWWIII than spread noxious lies about the country’s elections?…Silence on the European right: The European Conservative has barely written a word about Trump’s attacks on Iran. Do the editors have a point of view?…If  you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
