Sometimes a Slap is Just a Slap
Daniel Greenfield
Just because politics is downstream of culture doesn’t mean that everything that happens in the culture is political. I’ve resisted tweeting, posting, and writing about the latest stupid thing everyone is supposed to be discussing until now. And the only thing I have to say about it now (and probably the only thing worth saying…

While Bread Prices Skyrocket in U.S., Biden Admin Worried About Bread Prices in Pakistan
Daniel Greenfield
Can members of the Biden administration check their stationary occasionally? It might give them a clue which country they work for. Work for, not rule. But, as usual, they prioritize any and every country over their own. Deputy U.S. Secretary of State Wendy Sherman warned that Russia’s war in Ukraine has exacerbated a global food…

The Vast Majority of New Yorkers Hate Dem Pro-Crime Policies, Why Won’t Republicans Run Against Them?
Daniel Greenfield
In the New York City mayoral race, the Dems were fortunate enough that Eric Adams, an anti-crime candidate, became the nominee, rather than the AOC-backed troll, and that the GOP candidate, who should have been able to deliver a compelling anti-crime message based on his history instead proved to be erratic, awkward, and past his…

Only 3% Think COVID is the Most Important Problem Facing America
Daniel Greenfield
Another data point for the preference cascade. In Jan, 20% of Americans thought COVID was the most important problem facing Americans, in Feb it was 13%, and in March, it’s down to 3%. Tied with health care and lack of energy sources. Inflation has gone from 8% to 10% to 17%. The economy is at…

Russia Wasn’t Ready to Fight a Serious War. But Is Any World Power?
Daniel Greenfield
Ineptitude and corruption are not a new phenomenon for Russia’s military which has always made up for in sheer numbers, ruthlessness, and firepower what it lacked in strategic and logistic areas, not to mention morale. Russia’s military has combined aspirational First World equipment with Third World people. But there’s no reason to gloat. It’s not at…

No One Cares Who Biden Thinks Should Be Running Russia
Daniel Greenfield
From the mouth of an American leader whom the world was prone to take more seriously, a comment that Putin shouldn’t be in power would have significant consequences. It’s probably a good thing that no one, from Moscow to London to Paris to Berlin, and parts beyond, cares what Biden thinks on the matter. Not since…

Venezuela’s Ruling Drug Cartel Joins Marxist-Leninist Drug War
Daniel Greenfield
Venezuela is not just another socialist Latin American dictatorship. In the last 5 years, law enforcement and the justice system have identified its regime as the leadership of an international drug cartel. Narcosocialism and narcoterrorism are not unusual phenomena in the region, but the failure to remove Maduro, who heads the regime and a drug…

Latest Pre-Ramadan Terror Attack Brings Death Toll in Israel to 11
Daniel Greenfield
1. Ramadan and the period around it is often a time of escalating Islamic terrorism. 2. Even so this is one of the worst terror death tolls in Israel within such a limited time frame in quite a long time. 3. The wave of terror coincides with Secretary of State Blinken’s visit, the visits of…

With Runaway Inflation, Biden Wants $900M for Global Warming Propaganda
Daniel Greenfield
Biden has released his giant pork budget. Like most White House budgets, it is likely to sink into the waters of the Potomac without a trace, nevertheless it’s worth noting the misguided priorities here. Much like his giant pork Build Back Better sandwich, there are billions lavished selfishly and corruptly on his green energy donors.…

Biden Budget Hikes TSA Pay From $5.5B to $7.1B
Daniel Greenfield
One of my most frequent themes is that the Left has a broad spectrum strategy that is also focused on a variety of microscopic details. Conservatives don’t. That’s why there are a million stories like this flying by the radar of conservatives. The Biden administration said Thursday it is taking what it called a “first…
