Bernie’s Afraid of Beto
Daniel Greenfield
You can’t blame Bernie. Nothing threatens a cult of personality like… a cult of personality. And many of the most threatened are the Sandernistas who put in time and effort building Bernie’s third house only to face the prospect of the mob of fans getting tired of Bernie’s shtick and going Beto. Bernie is once…

Gillium Has “Been Told He’s Going to be President Someday His Entire Life”
Daniel Greenfield
We’re constantly lectured about privilege, meanwhile this is what a real privileged sense of entitlement looks like. Here’s BuzzFeed’s piece on Andrew Gillium’s possible presidential run. “The thing you have to understand about Andrew is he’s been told he’s going to be president someday his entire life,” an aide who worked on his campaign for…

Newsweek: Only Conservatives Object to Anti-Semitism
Daniel Greenfield
It’s hard keeping up with the Joneses. It’s even harder keeping up with the media’s weird double standards on anti-Semitism. The New York Times piece on the Women’s March is one example. This Newsweek writeup is another. “LEBRON JAMES POSTS ‘JEWISH MONEY’ SELFIE WITH 21 SAVAGE RAP LYRICS, ANGERING CONSERVATIVE CRITICS” It’s hard to remember…

13 Muslims Arrested in ISIS Beheading of 2 European Students
Daniel Greenfield
There are parts of the world that don’t make good vacation destinations. And a good rule of thumb is that any place where a significant percentage of the population supports putting down “infidels” so that they learn their proper place, as the Koran commands, is not a good vacation spot. The beheading of 2 European…

If Turkey Goes After the Kurds, It Should Be Kicked Out of NATO
Daniel Greenfield
The only credible argument that I have heard against the withdrawal from Syria is that we would be leaving the Kurds to the tender mercies of the genocidal Islamist regime in Turkey. But we have no realistic plan for the Kurds except staying there endlessly. Nor has our policy even been to support an independent…

NLRB Sanctions Chicago Teachers’ Union Boss for Violating Employee Rights
Daniel Greenfield
Lefty orgs are the worst places to work for. This is case #580. There was Michael Moore, Ralph Nader and Bernie Sanders. And, now, Jesse Sharkey. The president of Chicago Teachers Union violated the rights of one of his own staffers just before taking over the helm of the labor giant, according to a ruling…

There Are the 3 Leftist “Jewish” Groups Helping Cover Up the Women’s March Anti-Semitism
Daniel Greenfield
No surprises here. After The Tablet’s groundbreaking expose of the Women’s March’s anti-Semitic history, the group ha to respond. And it responded by bringing three leftist “Jewish” groups to try and shield them against allegations of anti-Semitism. The names are also fairly predictable. The Women’s March avoided the overtly “Jewish” lefty anti-Semitic groups like Jewish…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a Showboating Fraud
Daniel Greenfield
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has one skill, saying anything that will get her attention. “It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, This comes from the same woman who was recently claiming that she couldn’t afford to live in…

No, Leaving Syria Won’t “Refound” ISIS
Daniel Greenfield
The “Trump just refounded ISIS” meme is boomeranging around the media echo chamber. A few problems with it… 1. ISIS is still “founded”. It’s just more of a multinational terror network these days than a caliphate. It’s more like Al Qaeda and its physical footprint matters less. And that physical footprint is extremely unlikely to…
