Daniel Greenfield

ACLU Wages National War to Force Students to Wear Masks
Daniel Greenfield
Former civil rights groups the ACLU has finally found a cause it can really get behind: taking away civil rights.

Affirmative Action as a Disguise for the Failure of Public Education
Daniel Greenfield
Ruben Navarrette makes an interesting point in his attack on affirmative action. There’s a lot to disagree with in the article which is filled with rhetorical shorthand and sloppy analogies, but in his conclusion, he takes a different tack on how affirmative action hurts minorities. I see that Americans have again missed the chance to…

NY Supreme Court Judge: AG Has Right to Target Republican Political Opponents
Daniel Greenfield
Are those the rules? Those are the official rules, now. It’s okay for AG’s to abuse their power to go after their political opponents because persecuting people for their political views is not a civil rights violation.

Daniel Greenfield
Mayor Bill de Blasio was notorious for his sheer combination of corruption, ineptitude, and wokeness. That made him stand out even in a crowded field of insane and incompetent mismanagers.

After lefties created sanctuary states like…

On the Dangers of Turning Durham Into a Conservative Mueller
Daniel Greenfield
I know we’re all excited about the DNS surveillance story. The media is frantically spinning it and conservatives are playing it up with pictures of a scowling Durham. Building cults of personality around prosecutors rarely ends well. And when all is said and done, Durham may disappoint conservatives as much as Mueller disappointed leftists. Just…

Palin v. New York Times Disgraced the Media and the Judiciary
Daniel Greenfield
Palin v. New York Times came down to arguing that the paper was sloppy, but not malicious. That may be the best defense that Judge Jed Rakoff, who dismissed the case before the jury had finished its deliberations, can manage. Why dismiss the case before the jury has even reached a verdict? The obvious answer is…

BLM Activist Who Raised $600K in Senate Race is a Farrakhan Fan
Daniel Greenfield
Black Lives Matter is a racist hate group. The media works almost as hard to cover up the fact as BLM’s stars work to broadcast it.

New York Times Offers Master Class in Media Cover-Up of Clinton-Trump Spying Revelations
Daniel Greenfield
You could hear the creaks and moans as the media finally got around to covering the Durham filing on DNS surveillance of Trump Tower and the White House by Clinton allies.
