#AbolishICE: Illegal Alien Assaults on ICE Personnel Keep Rising
Daniel Greenfield
How much of an influence is the left’s media backed campaign to demonize ICE personnel while treating illegal alien migrants as the latest civil rights cause? And to what extent is the pro-illegal lobby hoping for its own Ferguson Effect by targeting ICE? Assaults on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents reached a decade high…

Obama Posed With Farrakhan, Accuses Republicans of “Racial Nationalism”
Daniel Greenfield
See if you can spot the Republican racial nationalism in these pictures. This picture of Obama & Farrakhan wouldn’t have made a difference. Journalists largely ignored Obama’s 20 year friendship with racist Wright, who’s said a lot of the same things. It’s more a testament to how lazy/in the tank journalists are that this wasn’t…

Ayanna Pressley and the “Jewish-Homosexual Conspiracy”
Daniel Greenfield
Put this down as more mainstreaming of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam on the left. Democratic congressional candidate Ayanna Pressley appeared outside a mosque that has played host to numerous radical figures during her primary campaign this year. Dr. Wesley Muhammad gave a lecture at Boston’s Muhammad Mosque No. 11 in February entitled “The…

Obama Claims He Never Tried to Silence Conservative Opponents, He Forgets Operation Rushbo
Daniel Greenfield
Obama’s attack on Trump was filled with lies, omissions and more lies. “It shouldn’t be Democratic or Republican to say that we don’t threaten the freedom of the press because they say things or publish stories we don’t like. I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me threaten to shut them down…

Media Questions Iran’s Claim It Aided 9/11 Hijackers
Daniel Greenfield
At some point the media’s shameless lies, manipulations and chicanery no longer elicit outrage, just contempt. Contempt, is all I can summon for this Reuters headline, “Study questions Iran-al Qaeda ties, despite U.S. allegations”. Before we get to another tedious set of spin and lies, here’s the larger context that sends all of this tumbling…

Wage Growth Highest Since 2009 While Dems Rave
Daniel Greenfield
While the Dems scream about shrinks and throw their ritual Supreme Court nomination tantrum, life keeps getting better for Americans. Long-awaited wage growth posted its biggest increase of the economic recovery in August while payroll gains beat expectations and the unemployment rate held near a generational low of 3.9 percent, according to a Bureau of…

College Dumps Nike: “If Nike is Ashamed of America, We Are Ashamed of Them”
Daniel Greenfield
The collegiate market is big for Nike. And while much of that market will only embrace the sweatshop sportswear firm harder after its anti-American stance, there are still some American schools left in America. A private Christian college in Missouri announced Wednesday that its athletic teams would no longer wear apparel manufactured by Nike after…

Barack “Reset Button” Obama Accuses Republicans of “Cozying Up to Russia”
Daniel Greenfield
Barack Obama blamed Bush for bad relations with Russia. He pursued a “Reset Button” strategy of rapprochement with Russia that included dismantling missile defense in Eastern Europe, giving Russians’ Iranian allies a pass on their nuclear program and issuing stand down orders on Russian hackers. (Then there’s the whole Uranium thing.) Here’s the very short…

Obama Began his Anti-Trump Speech With a Lie That Shows His Falsity
Daniel Greenfield
Obama’s phony self-righteous attack on President Trump began with a lie that had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with himself. Now, I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room. I know people are still wondering why I didn’t speak at the 2017 commencement. The student body president sent…

Yes, Impeachment Will Turn America Into a Third World Country
Daniel Greenfield
Elections don’t work in third world countries because the party with the most leverage over the machinery of government just overturns the results. That’s exactly what the Democrats have been trying to do to Trump even during the election. Impeachment is not a mechanism for removing a government that the legislature now opposes. That’s what…
