TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Sep. 26, 2025

Greetings! Dept. of No Surprises: Last night, Donald Trump celebrated the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey with a venomous  post.  “One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to,” POTUS pontificated in his typical  fractured prose. “He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation.” This morning, the Accuser-in-Chief was at it again with an unhinged rant, calling Comey a “crooked cop”….Some right wing outlets are condemning the indictment.  For example, the National Review has called for the charges to be dismissed….Comey, who was appointed by Barack Obama in 2013,  issued an inspiring video response to the revenge-motivated indictment:  “We will not live on our knees,” he said in an instantly memorable line.  Worth noting: He added, “I have great confidence in the federal judicial system.” Can’t say I feel the same…Weekend Watch: Season 5 of Apple+’s Slow Horses returned two days ago with the promise of  another well-wrought,  action-packed season. The brilliant Gary Oldham is back as Jackson Lamb in London’s filthiest Burberry, overseeing a ragtag group of MI6 spies. Also: The season premiere of “60 Minutes” kicks off Sunday night featuring an interview with Utah’s Governor Spencer Cox…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
