Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusionsThis flashback

We forecast that retail gasoline prices will [fall to] $2.88/gal on average in 2022.

US Energy Information Administration, Dec. 7, 2021 (just seven months ago)

We say: Talk about clueless! The national average price hit $5.09 a gallon Thursday, per AAA.

Tampons, a necessity for many, are becoming harder and harder to find.

People who menstruate are saying it's hard to find tampons on store shelves across the U.S. right now, as supply chain upsets reach the feminine care aisle.https://t.co/p5mAPlSwPM

We say: People who menstruate? Gee, what kind of people might those be men? NPRs silly phrase is a natural progression from terms like birthing people, chestfeeding and gender-neutral pronouns like they and xe. But most people know that only one type of person is capable of menstruation (and giving birth): women. And the networks attempt to hide that fact in the interest of political correctness only makes it look ridiculous.

Elon Musk is not a leader. Hes just another Republican billionaire who supports white supremacy and authoritarianism because he doesn't want his workers to unionize or to pay his fair share in taxes.

The GOP just tried to end democracy and now hes supporting them. https://t.co/WArBQQsHK5

We say: Everyones entitled to his opinion, but shouldnt lawmakers like Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) be expected to make sense? Mayra Flores was born in Mexico.

We say: You cant ask for better proof of Salons desperation for clicks (from the left) than this headline. Yet the story, too, absurdly links Christian belief to those who seek violence, claiming its become normal for Republicans to pray for the death of Democratic presidents. Author Thomas Lecaque actually suggests this isnt a fringe phenomenon but part of the core problem of the GOP. Alas, if anything, the evidence he cites GOP politicians like Kandiss Taylor, who used the slogan Jesus, Guns, Babies (hardly a sign she backs violence) but failed to get more than 3% of the vote in Georgias Republican gubernatorial primary last month proves just the opposite.

The [right-wing media are] too reluctant to stand up for the truth in the face of massive lying to call a lie a lie.

Hillary Clinton, quoted in The New Statesman, June 14

We say: Uh, does Clinton mean the right-wing social media that squelched The Posts Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 and the mainstream media that pooh-poohed it to ensure Joe Bidens win only to later admit it was all 100% true? Is she talking about the medias failure to call out the Russia Collusion hoax that her own campaign launched beginning in 2016? Ha! Shes referring mostly to Trumps (false) claims that the 2020 election was stolen. But who is Clinton to gripe about that when she herself claimed 16 was stolen based on a lie her own campaign promoted?
