“There is No Immigration Crisis” – New York Times
Daniel Greenfield
Even by the usual standards of the New York Times, Paul Krugman is particularly clueless. A hack inspired by Asimov’s Foundation novels, Krugman is unerringly wrong in real life. Take the time that he insisted that, “By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater…

Personal Status Law of Muslims: It’s Okay to Marry 10-Year-Olds
Daniel Greenfield
That’s bad, but it’s Sudan. A genocidal Muslim Brotherhood hellhole where burning down your village, raping everyone in sight and then setting fire to their corpses is how they say hello. But lately there’s been a bit of a focus on women’s rights in Sudan. And, it turns out that they don’t exist. Also marrying…

Mueller Concerned His Own Leaks Have Tainted the Jury Pool
Daniel Greenfield
Robert Mueller and his team don’t visit the little boys room without first phoning it in to the New York Times or the Washington Post. Now they’re concerned that constantly trying their case in the press (while failing to actually produce anything relevant to their counterintelligence investigation in court) may have tainted the jury pool.…

The ACLU Abandons Free Speech
Daniel Greenfield
Free speech absolutism has always been a tactical position for the ACLU. As its co-founder put it, “ I champion civil liberty as the best of the non-violent means of building the power on which workers rule must be based. If I aid the reactionaries to get free speech now and then, if I go…

Time’s Fake News Cover and the Truth About the Migrants
Daniel Greenfield
Every now and then an occasional act of journalism occurs. Even amid the torrent of fake news propaganda about the migrant crisis (“see small children cowering in Trump’s cages”, “listen to the sound of the children Trump took away from their parents” and “This little girl is probably crying because of Trump”) , an occasional…

Was Canceling Roseanne and Replacing it Always the Plan?
Daniel Greenfield
Lately it seems like 90% of pop culture is recycled. Broadway musicals, movies and TV series are just the recycled debris of a culture no longer capable of producing original material that appeals to wide audiences. That’s why A Bronx Tale is on Broadway, Lethal Weapon is a TV series and every other movie is…

Fake News to Doxx News: The Alt-Left Media’s Doxxing of Stephen Miller and ICE
Daniel Greenfield
Twitter rarely enforces its rules against the left (Peter Fonda’s Twitter account is still active despite threats of sexual violence on the service), but the recent rash of doxxing by Luke O’Brien, a Huffington Post writer against a Twitter user, by Splinter against Stephen Miller, and by another alt-left figure against ICE employees, forced it…

Why Did Susan Rice Issue a Stand Down Order on Russian Hacking?
Daniel Greenfield
Post-election, the Democrats have insisted that the 2016 election was delegitimized by Russian hacking. Yet they were curiously disinterested in doing anything about it. Former President Barack Obama’s cybersecurity czar confirmed Wednesday that former national security adviser Susan Rice told him to “stand down” in response to Russian cyber attacks during the 2016 presidential campaign.…

Implicit Bankruptcy Training: Starbucks in Trouble
Daniel Greenfield
Starbucks responded to a racial furor by hiring Eric Holder and bumping a Jewish group objected to by anti-Semitic black nationalists. But closing its coffee shops to give employees implicit bias training doesn’t seem to have dealt with the overpriced coffee place’s real problems. And they’re big. Starbucks isn’t getting the growth numbers it needed…

FACT CHECK: The US Takes in Far More Refugees Than Jordan
Daniel Greenfield
The fake news machine never sleeps. This latest howler comes from Peter Coy, “ the economics editor for Bloomberg Businessweek”. Peter should probably have stuck to economics because he doesn’t seem to know anything about international affairs. Though he does know plenty about clickbait. That’s why he’s got a Bloomberg article titled, “The U.S. Would…
