TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Nov. 18, 2024

Greetings! If you didn’t get enough of Mike Tyson in this weekend’s ridiculous boxing bout featuring the former 58-year-old heavyweight champ, you can catch him here being interviewed by the vile Alex Jones of Infowars. BTW: it’s  likely Infowars will soon be owned by The Onion and Jones will have to spew his hate elsewhere (Newsweek)…Here’s a questionable way to start your day.  Have a steaming cup of Victory Coffee Roasters.  The just-launched brew is dedicated to delivering “exceptional flavors while embodying the spirit of patriotism and support for our great nation.”  For a limited time, a 12-ounce bags of the coffee featuring an image of Donald Trump can be yours for $17.99.… Dept. of Irony: RFK Jr., the country’s new health czar who promises to improve the health of the American public when he assumes office, was photographed this weekend with Trump and Elon scarfing down a Big Mac, French fries and a Coke (NY Post)…In the wake of the election, many readers wrote expressing their heart-felt feelings about the direction of the country and the need to take a break from the news. Have a look at some of the letters…Last week’s craziest headline: Infowars’ The Deep State Is Still Planning to Kill Trump and Install Kamala…Must Watch: Part I of the Ken Burns documentary on Leonardo da Vinci debuts tonight on PBS.  In these troubling times, it’s a welcome to see that great art and invention can be born in a period filled with religious wars and power gone amuck…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
