Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This analogy:
We say: The radical progressive New York lawmaker is demanding MSG cancel the Trump event, based on his outlandish comparison.
Hmm: In seeking to silence a political foe, Hoylman-Sigal seems to have more in common with Nazis than Donald Trump.
This story:
“Hezbollah Leader’s Killing Upended Cease-Fire Plan”
— The New York Times, Monday
We say: The Times blames Benjamin Netanyahu for killing Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah, derailing “a breakthrough” that would’ve averted “a spiraling war.”
Hello? Israel warned Hez repeatedly it would use force, if necessary, to stop its endless, unprovoked attacks.
The strikes — more than 8,000 rockets since Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre — continued, and Israel’s democratically elected leader clearly had no faith in any cease-fire (assuming there even was a realistic plan on the table). Israel had no choice but to act.
Besides, Nasrallah (the monster behind countless terrorist deaths, including of Americans) needed to be assassinated. Bibi should be thanked, not blamed.
This prediction:
“Donald Trump . . . would absolutely try to exterminate an entire group of people because he thinks that their genes are . . . faulty.”
— Democratic strategist Aisha Mills on CNN, Monday
We say: Shouldn’t TV talking heads have at least some evidence for the preposterous things they say? Mills surely didn’t.
But floating baseless warnings like Trump would “exterminate” groups (blacks? Hispanics? gays?) has become a go-to tactic for lefties.
They resort to ludicrous scaremongering because they can find absolutely nothing good to say about their candidate, Kamala Harris.
This claim:
“Teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires.”
— Kamala Harris, Monday
We say: Harris thinks if she repeats this lie often enough, she can stoke enough resentment to win the presidency. Don’t buy it!
As we’ve noted, the tax rate for people making less than $100,525 (say, a teacher) is 22% or less.
For those making over $609,350, it’s 37%. Indeed, the top 1% cough up nearly halfof all income taxes, while the bottom pays virtually zilch.
