The Left’s Entitlement to a Republican Supreme Court Seat
Daniel Greenfield
If Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away and President Trump were proposing to replace her with conservative justice, the media’s outraged tantrums would at least be understandable. But Justice Kennedy was a Republican appointee and though, often unreliable, somewhat of a conservative. His decision to retire and allow one Republican president to replace the position…

Trump Approval Rises Due to Hispanic Support
Daniel Greenfield
After spending weeks dragging Trump through the mud and accusing him of locking Latino babies in cages, his support hit a new high… due to Hispanic support. In other news, the media literally knows nothing. Pollsters and reporters are jumping out of Manhattan office buildings as the world no longer makes sense to them. President…

Justice Kennedy to Retire, Supreme Court Reshaped for a Generation
Daniel Greenfield
Until recently, the great folly of Republican presidents lay in their Supreme Court picks. The Federalist Society’s picks have been a huge game changer. They’re one of the great conservative success stories. Justice Kennedy’s retirement will remedy a great historical error by turning a swing vote into a conservative vote. And hopefully reshape the Supreme…

Gov Unions Are a Catastrophe, Court was Right to Limit Them
Daniel Greenfield
When unions first gained government backing, they were supposed to represent the working class. Those types of unions have been on the decline. Instead they’ve been replaced by a form of union that even the movement’s vocal backers, like FDR, thought were illegitimate.

Hispanic Socialist Defeats White Dem in Hispanic District
Daniel Greenfield
The media likes to pretend that it’s moderate. So of course it’s giddily cheering Rep. Joe Crowley’s loss to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a socialist community organizer and DSA member. The media is spinning this as an affirmation of socialism. Nah. I’m sure the voters liked Cortez’s promises of free stuff for everybody, but politics, especially in…

CNN, in one of those occasional media travel pieces, decided to interview people outside the New York, Washington D.C., LA, San Fran and Boston echo chambers to see what they think about Trump. The result is another reminder of how different the reality is on the ground. Jorge Rojas has managed his wife’s dental practice…

Keith Ellison Sweats, Melts Down Over Farrakhan Lies
Daniel Greenfield
Keith Ellison has spent a lot of time avoiding questions about his extensive history with Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. The Women’s March leaders have proven that it’s possible to just grin and shrug it off. And still have enough political influence in lefty circles to ban Jewish critics from Starbucks. Obama has…

No One Wants Bloomberg to Run for President
Daniel Greenfield
Aside from buying the New York City Mayor’s office, Michael Bloomberg would have gotten a better return on the money he invested in politics if he just bought millions of lottery tickets. Bloomy flirted with a run in 2016. Even going so far as having a team produce a really awkward presentation. Now he’s flirting…

California Faces an Internet Censorship Bill
Daniel Greenfield
California’s leftist ruling class is starting to run low on more insane initiatives. And it’s moving into blatantly unconstitutional territory. But since the Brown regime has been operating as a secessionist entity, why not violate the First Amendment and adopt the best practices of China, Russia, Cuba and North Korea? SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – California is…

Forget Civility! The Left Embraces Political Terrorism
Daniel Greenfield
There’s a significant distinction between political protest and political terrorism. It’s not just violence. Political protest is meant to register and rally opposition. Political terrorism is designed to threaten, intimidate and harass. Protest seeks to build a consensus against a policy. Terrorism wants to intimidate people into abandoning it. The latest round of lefty harassment,…
