Daniel Greenfield
Why settle for CHAZ when you can have ISIS? While the media and the political class would rather that we not talk about Islamic terrorism, it’s still around and the big feeder for domestic terror plots still remain Muslim converts.

It’s Official, Big Tech Ate Hollywood
Daniel Greenfield
Consider Hollywood thoroughly “disrupted”. Digital killed the movie theater star. Before the pandemic, the theatrical and digital markets for entertainment were roughly similar in size. Last year, however, digital revenue was more than three times that of global box office, according to a new report by the Motion Picture Association. These are pandemic numbers and…

San Francisco is Boycotting Nevada Because It Didn’t Understand a Law
Daniel Greenfield
California Democrats are boycotting everyone. Last time I checked, the state’s boycott of various other states for horrid crimes like protecting religious freedom or enforcing immigration laws had encompassed a massive amount of the country. After 5 years, California is boycotting 103 million Americans across 1.2 million square miles. Along with Texas, Florida, Kansas, and…

China’s Latest COVID Shutdown is Another Reason Why Our Dependence On It Is a Disaster
Daniel Greenfield
The Biden administration keeps touting electric cars even though hardly anyone can afford them and the chip shortage continues because of our dependency on Asia in general and China specifically for tech components. If you loved the previous disruptions of China’s COVID shutdowns, enjoy this latest one. Mainland China is facing its worst Covid-19 outbreak…

Ukraine and Russia Are Not Actually About Us
Daniel Greenfield
Being an American is a wonderful thing. It means inhabiting a vast nation whose habits, inventions, and tastes shape the world. But that creates an illusion that everything in the world is about us. And it’s not. Especially these days when we often resemble a declining power. The battle between Russia and Ukraine is not…

China is Smuggling Thousands of Pounds of Diseased Meat Into LA
Daniel Greenfield
China. It’s the gift that keeps on taking. And then taking some more. More than 262,000 pounds of prohibited meat products have been seized from the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport so far this year. 262,237 pounds of pork, chicken, beef and duck have been seized so far by agriculture specialists with U.S. Customs and Border…

When Essayists Talk About Cancel Culture Censorship, Then Censor Themselves
Daniel Greenfield
The most effective form of censorship is self-censorship. And one of the unique Soviet phenomena of cancel culture is the liberal intellectual essay which bemoans cancel culture censorship and then never gets around to saying what the author is suppressing herself from speaking out about. The latest case in point is a voluminous Atlantic essay…

Daniel Greenfield
I’m not sure that this is what the IRGC had in mind. When President Trump took out Iran terror leader Qasem Soleimani, we were repeatedly told by Iran’s apologists in this country and by the Ayatollah’s terror state that revenge was coming. Now the revenge is finally here. A woman is accused of stabbing her online…
