TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Nov. 3, 2025

Greetings! And welcome to November.  I hate to be curmudgeonly (or un-American), but don’t expect me to eat anything pumpkin-flavored this month. Not a fan of the taste or texture..Guess who’s not coming to dinner? In a Truth Social post, Trump not only congratulated the LA Dodgers for beating the Toronto Blue Jays to win the World Series Saturday night,  he essentially invited the team to the White House.  “See you all at the White House!!!” he wrote in all caps and triple exclamation points.  Several LA players would seem like questionable attendees based on past statements.  They include outfielder Kiké Hernández who expressed dismay on social media about Trump’s immigration policies and shortstop Mookie Betts who declined to visit the Trump White House with his team (Boston Red Sox) after they won the championship in 2018….Trump went toe-to-toe with CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell on “60 Minutes” last night. Typical Trump bluster although he held his own especially in the second part. O’Donnell didn’t pull her punches. I call it a draw. Here’s the 28-minute interview. Worth noting: Trump’s hair seemed tinted gray.  Is this to suggest that with age comes wisdom?…Offensive Halloween promo: The marketing team at the Daily Caller must have thought they were being clever when they came up this divisive subject line for an email promoting a price reduction in their Halloween-themed t-shirts. “Scare a liberal. Save 25% on all merch.” Here’s the link to the ecommerce page if $35 t-shirts are your thing… Not that I’d ever vote for her: Marjorie Taylor Greene was a guest on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday night and she actually made some good points…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
