Sep. 22, 2025

Greetings! President Trump’s 45-minute memorial tribute to Charlie Kirk has been posted in its entirety on YouTube Erika Kirk’s heart-felt speech in which she forgave the man accused of murdering her husband is also posted. Key phrase from her eulogy: “The answer to hate is not to hate”…Liberty Paige of SteveGruber.com has written a piece of satire in which she imagines a heavenly purge of prominent progressives getting the axe.  Her targets include Jimmy Kimmel, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow…Disgraced ultra-right commentator Candace Owens suggested on her “Candace”  podcast  that “Jewish people or the Jewish state of Israel were somehow involved in Kirk’s assassination.” Hot Air has the convoluted details…Dept. of Sticks & Stones: Trump called Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) “scum” in a Truth Social post about Somalia. “What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it,” the potty-mouth president wrote, referencing the Somalia-born lawmaker….Dept. of Surprises: American Thinker opines that Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi lacks the bonafides for her position because she doesn’t understand the meaning of free speech.  Thinker writer Bill Ponton  links to an article on NBC News to bolster his argument…Not my bedside table: Joe Manchin’s just published memoir Dead Center: In Defense of Common Sense.  Never been a fan of the ex- Democratic Senator from West Virginia.  Manchin was on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday, shamelessly hawking his book…In observance of Rosh Hashanah, TheRighting will not publish tomorrow.  Back at it Wednesday…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
