Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This story:
“Split U.S. Comes to Grips With a Largely Hazy War”
— The New York Times, Wednesday
We say: “Hazy War”? President Trump repeats his chief goal for the war practically every day: Iran “can’t have nuclear weapons.”
He couldn’t be more explicit. Yet the Gray Lady — and the people it anonymously cites — are still “baffled,” griping that the war and its goal have “not been clearly explained.”
Clearly, they just don’t want to hear.
This advice:
“The last thing I would want in a space shuttle crew would be seven, white-guy, US Navy test pilots like me. It would be a disaster.” — Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Saturday
We say: Kelly, an ex-astronaut, claims white, male Navy pilots all think alike, yet space missions need people who view problems differently.
People who look the same must think the same? What a sad pander to left-think bigotry.
More: Picking a crew based on race is not only unfair (and illegal), it could be dangerous.
This warning:
“Republicans say we don’t have climate change. But this is golf-ball sized hail in my front yard. This is not normal.” — Wisc. Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski, Tuesday
We say: Take a deep breath, Madame Secretary.
For starters, Republicans don’t say there’s no climate change, only that it’s not the imminent global catastrophe Democrats (like her) imagine.
Plus: “Golf-ball sized hail” is hardly a sign of climate change. At about 1.7 inches in diameter, it’s not even close to the record: Per the National Weather Service, an 8 inch in diameter hailstone landed in Vivian, SD, on July 23, 2010.

We say: Wherever they live and whatever their wealth, every city property owner must pay taxes, sometimes a lot:The Post found a Chelsea condo on the market for $5 million, for one, with a property tax bill of $84,000.
Is far-left state Sen. Salazar really this ignorant?
