The week in whoppers: Ketanji Brown Jackson veers into the bizarre; Mich. Dem won’t cheer Khamenei’s death and more

Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

“There are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad.”  — Mich. Dem. US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, in a recording that emerged Monday

We say: After an airstrike killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, El-Sayed told campaign staffers he wouldn’t comment on it out of respect for his voters’ “sadness” over the death.

Memo to El-Sayed: If you can’t get your base to cheer the death of a horrific tyrant and terrorist like Khamenei, maybe you should look for a different line of work.

Trump’s forthright leadership will finish the job in Iran

“If I steal a wallet in Japan, I am subject to Japanese laws . . . . in a sense, it’s allegiance.” — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Wednesday

We say: Getting arrested for a crime is a funny way to show your “allegiance” to a foreign country, but that’s how Supreme Court Justice KBJ argued the case for birthright citizenship.

How on Earth did she make it to the Supreme Court? 

How Dems are committing political suicide over anti-ICE obsessions

“Stay out, ICE. We do not need you here!” — Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, March 26

We say: ICE enforces American immigration law; Toronto is in Canada.

Does Mayor Chow know which country she lives in?

Or is she just jealous of her ICE-deranged counterparts to the south who’ve made political hay out of their preposterous stance against enforcing immigration law?

“The People Trump Pardoned Are on a Crime Spree” — The New York Times editorial board, Sunday

We say: The Times says Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by President Trump have gone nuts breaking the law.

They cite “at least 12” of the 1,500 pardoned people as having been subsequently arrested for serious crimes.

But this rate of recidivism, less than 1%, is nothing compared to national rates: More than 25% of released offenders are sent back to prison within three years.

By the Times’ own standards, the Jan. 6 protesters were model prisoners!
