Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

This comparison:

“Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.” — Minn. Gov. Tim Walz, Sunday

We say: Of all Walz’s many bizarre utterances, this grotesquery is one for the ages.

The Nazis hounded Anne Frank and her family solely for being Jewish, sending them to starve to death in concentration camps.

ICE is arresting illegal aliens and sending them to their home countries. The comparison is ignorant and odious.

This assertion:

“An illegal army is being mounted against US citizens.” — Actor Edward Norton, Sunday

We say: Antifa agitators, lefty lunatics and Hollywood elites are convinced that policies they hate aren’t merely wrong — they must be illegitimate.

So they keep ramping up their rhetoric until it’s all they can hear.

Now they insist that ICE — a duly constituted federal agency enforcing duly enacted laws — is a paramilitary force that must be resisted. Just don’t expect to see Norton attacking armed feds.

This absurdity:

“I’m, for whatever it’s worth, a pretty fervent Christian, and I feel completely comfortable here in the seat of Islam.” — Tucker Carlson, Wednesday

We say: However much Carlson is enjoying his Saudi junket, it’s absurd to pretend that being a Christian is normal in a kingdom with no churches, where preaching or proselytizing the Gospel is forbidden and conversion to Christianity from Islam is punishable by death.

If Tucker’s so “comfortable” as a devout Christian in the Land of the Two Mosques, he should speak up on behalf of his many co-religionists from the Philippines who labor there as modern slaves.

This math:

“In 2022 alone, New York City sent $68.8 billion in revenue to Albany — and received just $47.6 billion back.” — NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Wednesday 

We say: Socialists should know how progressive taxation works: Higher-income people pay proportionately more taxes to support society as a whole.

The same principle works at the state level: Top NYC earners help pay for roads and hospitals in far-lower-income upstate.

Will he now side with Manhattan taxpayers grumbling about having to support The Bronx?
