Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This tweet:
We say: Biden keeps repeating this lie, hoping people will eventually believe it.
Yet the truth remains: The jobs he “created” are really jobs restored after COVID, not new jobs.
This time, though, he adds a twist: A chart he shows omits Barack Obama’s record.
Why? Because Obama-Biden lost 9.5 million jobs in the administration’s first 29 months.
Yes, that followed the 2008 financial collapse, and Obama-Biden can’t be blamed entirely for that.
But then, Biden shouldn’t take credit for recovered jobs post-COVID, either.
This scoff:
“Maybe [censored social-media] opinions are just not something that people want to listen to. And it’s not censorship. It’s just, you know, the way it is.”
— NBC’s Ben Collins, Tuesday
We say: What unbelievable arrogance! Social-media platforms shut down posts because people don’t “want to listen to” them?
And that’s “not censorship. It’s just, you know, the way it is”?
Right. And the left decides what people want to see.
Collins must be channeling his inner Xi.
This remark:
“When you have bombs going off and . . . damage to septic tanks or to power centers, etc., you have an enormous release of greenhouse gas.”
— John Kerry, on the Ukraine war, Monday
We say: Some things are just too stupid for most people to say, but not John Kerry.
This is what concerns him about the Ukraine war?
People are dying, infrastructure is being destroyed — and he’s fretting about CO2 emissions? Please.
Even if the war’s greenhouse-gas output is “enormous,” it would only prove that focusing on emissions is a fool’s game.
That is, unless Kerry knows how to prevent brutes like Vladimir Putin from starting wars . . .
This headline:
“More people actually moved out of Florida than New York or California in 2021
— Business Insider, Tuesday
We say: True, Business Insider later corrected this headline, and the story with it.
But the entire gist of the original piece was completely backward.
As the corrected story admits, more people actually moved into Florida in 2021, during the pandemic, than any other state; more moved out of New York and California than Florida.
Was BI just itching to dump on Florida — and, indirectly, Gov. Ron DeSantis and his conservative policies (low taxes, age-appropriate school curricula) — and mistook this as its chance?
