Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) wrote on X that it was "awesome" that Iranian ships have reportedly gotten through the blockade President Trump ordered on Iran. NY Post composite / istock/ Getty Images This praise “Awesome.” — Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Monday
We say: Murphy’s Trump Derangement Syndrome has clearly affected his brain.
He actually seemed to take pleasure in a report that Iranian ships allegedly evaded the US blockade.
Hmm: Will he soon be applauding if US sailors are killed?
“Why petty theft might be the new political protest.” — The New York Times, Wednesday
We say: The New York Times actually gave Communist broadcaster Hasan Piker and cartoonist Nadja Spiegelman a platform to swoon about “microlooting,” their cute name for stealing from corporations.
Shoplifting from places like Whole Foods, you see, strikes a blow for global revolution.
Sorry, but it’s nothing more than tawdry behavior that rots civilized society.
“Cuba has a remarkable public-health system, lowest infant mortality, maternal mortality, sort of the opposite of what the United States has.” — Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), Tuesday
We say: The notion that Cuba has a “remarkable” health-care system has long been a cherished, but utterly phony myth of the Communist dictatorship and its useful idiots in the West.
Yet even the World Bank reports that Cuba’s maternal mortality rate is double that of the United States.
“The entire City Council . . . [tried] to take wages away from the very people who are part of an industry that has its ties to slavery.” — Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Sunday
We say: Johnson ludicrously linked the restaurant industry to slavery amid his fight with Chicago’s City Council over raising the minimum “tipped” wage for servers.
But slaves weren’t tipped — they weren’t even paid. Nor could they quit, as can today’s restaurant workers.
If Johnson can’t see the difference, how on Earth is he fit to be mayor?
