Bill de Blasio spins Zohran Mamdani’s free-bus – Latest News
Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This tip:
“[Free buses work] because . . . if people are given a quality alternative they can afford, they’ll use it.”
— Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, Tuesday
We say: Sure, offer of us one thing good, charge them zilch, and it’s a secure guess many will take it. But how’s that proof Zohran Mamdani’s free-bus concept “works”? Especially because the MTA would lack funds to keep the buses operating. No marvel he’s referred to as Mayor Putz.

This assertion:
“There is no [crime] emergency.” — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Tuesday
We say: Chicago has seen almost 300 murders this yr, with 54 shot — seven fatally — over Labor Day weekend alone. “No emergency,” says Pritzker — apparently which means that off-the-charts homicide charges are the norm in Chi-Town, so that they’re . . . OK. Which raises the query: How many should die for Pritzker to begin caring?
This declare:
“The closest Mr. Mamdani gets to socialism is in his belief in treating people more equitably.” — The New York Times’ Jeffery C. Mays, Saturday
We say: Mays desperately tries to distance Mamdani from his socialist previous and paint his concepts as primarily based on equity, in a bid to make him more palatable. Yet, if Mamdani’s concept of equity is when everybody shares the wealth “equitably,” that’s fairly “close” to the definition of socialism.
This charge:
“The mainstream media will not touch these questions about Donald Trump’s obviously declining health.” — Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid, Tuesday

We say: In Reid’s Opposite World, the press harped nonstop on Joe Biden’s decline, somewhat than serving to cowl it up. And now she sees it ignoring Trump’s “obviously” failing health. Sorry: Trump (like anybody his age) absolutely has some medical points — however they get reported and the public sees him almost each day: The man makes the Eveready Bunny look lazy. How can anybody truthfully declare Trump’s bodily or mental situation compares even remotely to Biden’s? Then again, Reid wonders if Trump was really shot final yr. Getting fired from MSNBC did nothing to tether her to actuality.
