Ukraine Now Wants Guarantees From Israel for Russia Deal
Daniel Greenfield
A week ago I took part in a debate on whether Israel should try to mediate or stay out of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. My position was, “Stay out.” Israel is fortunate enough that there is a conflict that has the attention of the world and that does not in any way, shape or form involve…

While Media, Dems and Never Trumpers Panic, Trump Calls Putin’s Bluff
Daniel Greenfield
Earlier this week the media had its usual panic attacks over President Trump’s comments on the Ukraine-Russia war. “I listened to [Putin] constantly using the N-word, that’s the N-word, and he’s constantly using it: the nuclear word,” Trump said. “We say, ’Oh, he’s a nuclear power.’ But we’re a greater nuclear power. We have the greatest…

Washington Post Runs Sympathetic Profile of Child Porn Offender Protected by Ketanji Brown Jackson
Daniel Greenfield
Is there any crime committed by an “oppressed” identity politics monster too vile for the pro-crime media to defend? Ever since Ketanji Brown Jackson’s decision to give a child porn offender a light slap on the wrist and apologize to him came up, the media has been frantically spinning. And now the Washington Post decided to…

Linda Sarsour in Blackface
Daniel Greenfield
Apparently, blackface is fine if you wear a hijab. Except this might actually be whiteface. As David Lange at Isreallycool notes, “Linda Sarsour is now officially Black!” The wife of former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry has a “Blacks in Wax” show she puts on every year. Confusingly, unlike the many black wax museums which feature wax…

Paper That Pushed Kavanaugh Smears Claims Challenging Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Record Worse Than Rape
Daniel Greenfield
This is the same old, “Your speech is violence, their violence is speech” standard in which questioning whether burning down cities is a good idea is worse than the BLM riots burning down cities. You may think this comes from Jennifer Rubin, Greg Sargent, Margaret Sullivan, or one of the Washington Post’s more embarrassing party…

Google Ads Bans Articles on Ukraine It Disagrees With
Daniel Greenfield
Big Tech enforcement and deplatforming is ever more obviously becoming political and subjective. Despite running it by any number of lawyers, the only real standard for the political stuff is the Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart metric, “I know it when I see it”. Here’s Google’s latest mandate. Alphabet-owned Google will not help websites, apps and YouTube channels sell ads…

Less Than Half of Dems Confident Biden Can Manage a Crisis
Daniel Greenfield
These are really bad numbers, especially for an era of rigidly lockstep partisan politics, mindless echo chambers, and constant media spin. The Biden numbers are obviously bad overall, but the weakness among Democrats is what really stands out. Fifty-six percent of Americans feel that Biden’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has not been tough…

Ukraine Wants Access to Israeli Cyberwarfare Tools While Maintaining Ties With Iran
Daniel Greenfield
Ukrainian diplomacy is starting to feel like being accosted by a homeless man on the subway. “Give me a buck, give me a smoke, I need a dog.” When it comes to Israel, Zelensky’s people made it sound like he was demanding Iron Dome. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky used his address to MKs and cabinet ministers…

Biden Decides This is the Perfect Time to Screw U.S. Steelworkers
Daniel Greenfield
Steel tariffs have been a longstanding issue with the UK. And I’m somewhat sympathetic to both sides of the argument at least when it comes to the UK (not China). But I can’t think of a worse time for Biden to decide to screw American steelworkers and throw away whatever’s left of the Rust Belt. Then…

How Small and Petty is Kamala Harris? This Small and Petty.
Daniel Greenfield
Remember the ridiculous whining from Kamala’s fans (all 5 of them, who work in the media) about a Vogue photo of her that was seen as unflattering. Apparently, this was coming from the top down. The leaked cover photo, which featured Harris in Converse and skinny pants, was “an approachable but less than grand depiction of…
