#MeToo: New Yorker Accuses Rape Victim of Islamophobia
Daniel Greenfield
The timing couldn’t be better, The New Yorker just picked a Pulitzer for its #MeToo report. What better time to dismiss a rape victim as an Islamophobe. The issue in question is Tariq Ramadan, an Islamist leader from a royal Muslim Brotherhood dynasty, who had become very popular on the left. Then he was accused […]

The Pulse Terror Attack Was About Islam Not Homophobia
Daniel Greenfield
An infinite number of monkeys with typewriters could duplicate Macbeth if given enough time. And a finite number of monkeys provided with fully licensed copies of Microsoft Word will eventually write an Avengers movie. (If they haven’t done it already.) Or pretty much anything from Disney these days. And the Huffington Post, if given enough […]

Max Boot’s Slimy Smear of Bolton Shows His Hypocrisy
Daniel Greenfield
The Washington Post seems to specialize in hiring Never Trumpers who squawk about principle, but have none. Compare Bret Stephens to Jennifer Rubin, who is now all but defending Iran, and Max Boot. Boot’s latest slimy WaPo smear against John Bolton, is aimed at an audience with no knowledge and no sense of history, either […]

Qatar Spied on Trump Officials, Passed Info to Mueller Through Media
Daniel Greenfield
Team Coup is very eager to discuss Russian interference in our political affairs. But as I asked last week, where’s the discussion of Qatari interference?

Facebook’s Ad VP Proved Russia Didn’t Interfere in the Election
Daniel Greenfield
There are two possible conclusions that can be reached from these tweets by Rob Goldman, Facebook’s VP of Ad Product, Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election.

Never Trumper Max Boot Goes Full Leftist
Daniel Greenfield
The acid test of personal integrity is whether you can maintain your principles instead of unthinkingly joining a herd and accepting all its ideas. Max Boot, the most radical of the Never Trumpers, has failed that test miserably. He started out opposing Trump on national security grounds and is now raving about “white privilege”. In […]

Trump Killed the New York Daily News
Daniel Greenfield
The sale of the New York Daily News for a dollar isn’t the death of the sleazy leftist tabloid. It died a while back. Today, the Daily News is best known for its trolling front pages. That and bizarre trolling hate pieces from a staff of repurposed and unqualified trash like Linda Stasi, a former […]

ADL Hires Obama’s Muslim Outreach Guy Who Met With Hamas Linked Groups
Daniel Greenfield
The ADL’s education and law enforcement programs just became utterly radioactive. And the latter is key because Jewish institutions are ongoing targets of Islamic terror. And the ADL just appointed the fox to guard the henhouse. ADL boss Jonathan Greenblatt, an Obama guy, just destroyed one of the ADL’s few useful functions and turned it […]
