Was Obama Brought In To Talk Biden Out of Running Again?
Daniel Greenfield
Republicans tend not to believe that Biden will run again. So do a lot of other people. Except that Biden has repeatedly made it clear that, no matter how implausible it may seem, he will run again. Even if he has to crawl to run. President Biden has told former President Obama that he is planning to…

Mandatory Pronouns Have Their Day in Court, Lose $400K
Daniel Greenfield
Academia is its own beast and assuming that what goes at a college will protect Fortune 500 employees is unrealistic. That said there’s a precedent here and it’s an important one. Forcing people to use male pronouns for women or vice versa has been an important tool for ideological compliance. The “you shall comply” familiar…

Is Twitter Even Worth Anything?
Daniel Greenfield
Twitter is a really important forum for the culture war. And Elon Musk has figured out a way to profit from panicking the elite into frantically trying to save Twitter from free speech.

200,000 Dropped Netflix and It Lost $30 Billion
Daniel Greenfield
Boycotts used to be a major conservative tool. Do they still work? Not as well, but they can work. Big Tech’s biggest vulnerability is the need to project an impossible perpetual motion machine of constant growth. What happens when that illusion of perpetual growth is challenged? Then the bottom suddenly drops out. Netflix reported its first…

“Black Face by Black Man” Leads to Woke School Outrage
Daniel Greenfield
Being woke is very exhausting. Mining everything for racial and social justice outrages means making dumb mistakes and then having to invent even dumber new premises to justify them.

Taliban Threaten Pakistan With War, Pakistan Bombs Afghanistan
Daniel Greenfield
It’s sad when friends fight. Also entirely deserved. Pakistan’s intel people and regime are the major backers of the Taliban. They also helped shield Al Qaeda and other Taliban allies. But there are the “good Taliban” in Afghanistan and the “bad Taliban” in Afghanistan. Like most Islamist regimes, the Pakis are enthusiastic about Jihad… somewhere…

Does China’s Aging Gerontocracy Explain its COVID State?
Daniel Greenfield
An important piece of subtext for the radical COVID control policies we’re seeing on display in Shanghai and elsewhere in Communist China. China’s leaders have said that the country, unlike most of the rest of the world, cannot afford to live with the virus because it has a large and vulnerable aging population. I’ve explored…

LA Dem Mayoral Candidate Accuses DSA of Paying Homeless to Stay on the Streets
Daniel Greenfield
The debate about the homeless crisis is really a debate about the nature of homelessness which, as facts have repeatedly shown, is a case of mentally ill and drug-addicted vagrants whose presence on the streets has been enabled by the homeless-industrial complex. Despite that most of the LA mayoral candidates promise to fix the homeless…
