Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This suggestion:
“We should spend a lot more time. . . looking at American citizens, looking at white men [than Minnesota scammers].” — Rep. Emily Randall, Wednesday
We say: Incredible — a cadre of mostly Somali fraudsters steals billions in taxpayer cash, and Democratic loon Emily Randall tells the House Oversight Committee that the real focus should be more scrutinizing of white men, who are surely up to something nefarious, right?
No wonder men are running to the right in droves: The left will find any reason to smear them, especially as a distraction.
This statement:
“I get that there are [Venezuelans] that don’t like the leader, but guess what? There are a lot of people that don’t like our leader.” — Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Tuesday
We say: Crockett sniffs at the countless Venezuelans worldwide dancing in the streets after Maduro’s toppling by invoking anti-Trump protests in the United States.
What she won’t say: Americans can freely denounce their leaders.
Plus: President Trump won his election fair and square; Maduro blatantly stole his, while squashing those who oppose him with a steel-toed boot.
This comparison:
“The three most important days in American history since the Civil War have been: Dec 7, 1941. Sept. 11. And Jan. 6.” — Rep. Eric Swalwell, Tuesday
We say: Mentioning Jan. 6, a protest gone awry, in the same breath as Pearl Harbor or 9/11— days when thousands of Americans died brutal, horrifying deaths and the soul of the nation was forever changed — isn’t just tone-deaf, it’s utterly offensive.
Yet Swalwell is just one of many Democrats (including Kamala Harris) to make this bogus comparison of late, proving there’s no extreme their party won’t indulge in order to attack Trump.
This column:
“Maduro’s Ouster Plays Right Into Putin’s Hands.” — The New York Times, Sunday
We say: President Trump’s capture of Nicolás Madurowill “allow Putin to take as much of Europe as he wants to bite off” because “it is a blow” to the “new world order of law, justice and human rights,” insists Times columnist M. Gessen. Huh?
Putin never bought into any of those principles in the first place, and has been waging a war to “bite off” parts of Ukraine for four years.
Yanking Maduro was a win for law and order and a warning to other authoritarians like Putin.
