Counterpoint: What If This is WW3?
Daniel Greenfield
In previous articles and posts I made the case that this is by no stretch of the imagination World War 3. Despite Putin’s saber rattling, this is an attempt by Russia to reclaim another vital chunk of its former empire and the Soviet Union. It may be more grandiose, but still limited. This counterpoint contemplates…

Biden Wants to Declare Victory on COVID. He Can’t
Daniel Greenfield
Before Ukraine became the big story, the centerpiece of the Biden State of the Union address was supposed to be the declaration that the war on COVID had finally been won. Of course the war had not been won. The rapid collapse of mask mandates is not the result of some massive breakthrough in science,…

Widely Hated Leader of Economically Troubled Nation to Speak On “Optimism”
Daniel Greenfield
Not Putin, Biden. Biden’s domestic message for the State of the Union is going to be “optimism”. Considering that Biden is hated by the country, which is deep in inflation, debt and general unhappiness, that’s like the punchline to a Borsch Belt joke. A pity that Jackie Mason is no longer around to tell it.…

A Reckoning Approaches for Obama’s EPA Abuses
Daniel Greenfield
The Supreme Court’s willingness to consider West Virginia v. EPA strikes at the original beating heart of the power grab perpetrated by the Obama administration. The media is vehemently denying that West Virginia v. EPA is still relevant. The Biden administration claims that it has no intention of resurrecting its abuses. Yet in a legal environment and…

Saturday Night Live and Virtue Signaling Someone Else’s War
Daniel Greenfield
When America was attacked on September 11th, Saturday Night Live responded by having Rudy Giuliani come out, give a little talk and then on with the show. And that was an act of war against our own country which killed thousands of our own people. Since then Saturday Night Live has moved on from comedy…

Are We Underestimating or Overestimating the Russian Military?
Daniel Greenfield
Trained military observers watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine unfold are finding themselves baffled by by both the scale of the operation and its seeming lack of coordination and effectiveness. Russia is a world power and its military is that of a world power. In the air and on the ground, not taking into account…

Is Putin Suffering From the Same Problem as Biden?
Daniel Greenfield
One way to view the war in the Ukraine is through the lens of time. Vladimir Putin may no longer be president after 2024. While Putin has previously played all sorts of convoluted shenanigans that allowed him to run things in whichever office he held, this time around it may be for real. Or as…

Biden Doesn’t Want a Black Justice, But an Anti-Constitutional One
Daniel Greenfield
From Jonathan Turley. For many liberal groups, Ketanji Brown Jackson is a supreme “deliverable” by President Biden. Activist groups have pushed her nomination to the Supreme Court while opposing the consideration of fellow short-lister District Judge J. Michelle Childs. These groups clearly did not like Childs and her more moderate take on legal issues. Yet the interesting question…

Trump on Putin and Bill Maher on Al Qaeda
Daniel Greenfield
“He’s a brave man, he’s hanging in,” Trump said of Zelensky in remarks at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, even as he declined to back away from complimenting Putin as “smart.” “The problem is not that Putin is smart, which, of course, he’s smart,” Trump said. “The problem is that our leaders are dumb……

New York Times Complains Europeans Racist for Taking Ukrainian, Not Islamic, Refugees
Daniel Greenfield
“For Ukraine’s Refugees, Europe Opens Doors That Were Shut to Others” is the snide New York Times headline. The unsubtle implication is that European countries, especially Eastern European nations, especially countries like Poland, Czechia, and Hungary which were reluctant to accept masses of Islamic migrants, are racist for being willing to accept Ukrainian refugees fleeing…
