The Morning Rant

Pop Quiz:

Who said this?

“ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe. Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike...”

(a) Tucker Carlson
(b) Sean Hannity
(c) Kurt Schlichter
(d) Osama bin Laden's niece

The answer is, of course, (d) Osama bin Laden's niece, Noor bin Ladin (whose branch of the family deliberately spells their surname differently), who, according to her first-even interview she gave to the NY Post, she's a yuuuge Trump fan, calling the 2020 election the most important in a generation:

“I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015. I have watched from afar and I admire this man’s resolve,” she said. “He must be re-elected … It’s vital for the future of not only America, but Western civilization as a whole.”

“You look at all the terrorist attacks that have happened in Europe over the past 19 years. They have completely shaken us to the core … [Radical Islam] has completely infiltrated our society,” bin Ladin continued. “In the US it’s very worrying that the left has aligned itself completely with the people who share that ideology.”

Does she have someone particular in mind? Oh yes, she does:

“You do have a situation now in America where you have people like Ilhan Omar who actively hate your country,” bin Ladin said, noting how Omar had urged “compassionate” sentences for 13 ISIS recruits busted in her home state of Minnesota.

I am reminded of Kamala Harris' visit to Jacob Blake where she praised him and said how "incredible" his family is and why is it that there is never a criminal so vile or a terrorist so murderous that there won't be some Democrat willing to defend them? They never identify with normal Americans who work hard and pay their bills, but the thugs, the lawbreakers, the anarchist rioters, the rapists, the predators, all of those they readily clasp to their bosom.

Meanwhile, Noor knows what America is all about:

“It’s an honor to be able to go and live in the United States and make the most out of all the opportunities,” bin Ladin said, choking up. “If she hates it so much, why doesn’t she leave.”

I wish there was some way we could swap Ilhan Omar for Noor bin Ladin. Heck, I'd even throw in Ana Navarro and a tub of buffalo wings to be named later.

Oh, and on another subject:

Disgraced former CBS "news" reporter Dan Rather has weigned in on the Atlantic story about President Trump calling the military "suckers" and "losers". Speaking to dozens of listeners in his local cable TV show audience, the Undisputed King of Fake News remarked:

“Whether he said it or not, it is believable,” Rather said.

This is just another way of saying "fake, but accurate." So it looks like ol' Dan hasn't learned a thing in 15 years. His astounding ability to simply shut his eyes and believe what he wants to believe in the face of any and all contrary evidence is still as strong as it ever was. And the impression he has of himself as a fearless tower of journalistic integrity is equally undiminished by time and subsequent events.

Who Dis:

For the 'Ettes:

Monday's Who Dis: Marisa Tomei's breakout role was in the 1992 biopic Chaplin, along with Kevin Kline, who played Douglas Fairbanks. I discovered Kline has been married to Phoebe Cates for over 30 years, but oddly enough, I couldn't find very many pics of her that I liked enough to use, and ones in which she didn't look only 16 years old, so I used Ms. Tomei instead.
