The week in whoppers: Hillary smears ICE over little Liam, Billie Eilish goes gonzo at the Grammys, and more

Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

This tweet:

We say: Wrong, Hillary. Liam was never in “detention.”

Rather, ICE agents rescued him after his illegal-immigrant dad abandoned him to skirt arrest and his family refused to open their door and take the boy back.

This claim:

“No one is illegal on stolen land.” — Billie Eilish, at Sunday’s Grammy Awards 

We say: Eilish should stick to singing. Throughout history, virtually all land has been “stolen” — i.e., changed hands after being conquered, taken by force or through purchase, etc.

And if no one is “illegal” anywhere, then borders are meaningless. No wonder wags now threaten to move into her house.

This assessment:

“What I have seen is exactly what should be happening” — NYC Corporation Counsel-nominee Steven Banks

We say: Seventeen people have died on New York streets — 13 from hypothermia — during this cold snap, yet Mayor Bill de Blasio’s homeless czar and Mayor Mamdani’s pick for corporation counsel, Steven Banks, thinks everything is working fine.

Then again, this is a guy who spent most of his adult life fighting for the rights of vagrants to remain on the streets. Brace for more street deaths.

This statistic:

“More than 70% of the immigrants who are arrested by ICE have . . . no criminal arrests.” — Rep. Dan Goldman, Wednesday

We say: The truth? In Trump’s first year, about 37% of ICE arrestees had prior criminal convictions, and another 30% faced pending criminal charges, per left-leaning factcheck.org.

Similarly, Homeland Security’s website notes, “70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens who have been convicted or charged with a crime in the U.S.”
