Why Are Univision and Henry Louis Gates Getting Away With Running a Racist Site?
Daniel Greenfield
“A a resident of Cobb County, Ga., recently surpassed the record held by Roseanne Barr and Rachel Dolezal on the Becky-ometer, a scientific tool used to measure the caucasity of white women.” So reads a typical post on The Root. Similar derogatory racial references about white people abound on the site. The Root is owned…

US Dumps UN Human Rights Council
Daniel Greenfield
Even more than the rest of the UN, the Human Rights Council always seemed like a garish joke. Take the world’s worst human rights abusers, put them on a body with human rights in the name, and then make sure that it ignores every horrifying atrocity in the headlines while focusing on Israel. It’s just…

“Liberalism is an Illiberal View, Whereas the Enemies of Liberalism are Actually its Best Friends”
Daniel Greenfield
Thank you to @bullfrog35 for calling my attention to the near conclusion of this Gadi Taub piece. The specific context is the willingness of the media to believe Hamas over Israel. But its relevance also transcends that. Anti-Semitism always stirs from its slumber within a specific context, so we need to ask about that, too.…

Do the Dems Have a Structural Anti-Semitism Problem?
Daniel Greenfield
It’s obvious why no one on the left wants to talk about Farrakhan. When your core allies in the black community are black nationalists who are Farrakhan fans, that’s a conversation that can’t be had. That’s why the Obama-Farrakhan photo got less coverage than a dog whose ear, CNN claimed, looked like Trump. It’s why…

Bankrupt State to Spend $200 Mil on Obama Center
Daniel Greenfield
What better way could there be to celebrate Obama’s legacy than bankrupting a bankrupt state for the greater glory of Barry? Illinois now has the worst credit rating in the municipal bond market. Moody’s Investment Services pegs Illinois’ debt at Baa3, and it could further downgrade that credit rating later in 2018. The State of…

Progressive TV Series a Horrible Place to Work
Daniel Greenfield
Rule 9 of the left (yes, these are all getting collected) is that the most progressive the workplace, the worse it is working there. There’s plenty of evidence of that from Michael Moore and Ralph Nader who treated their employees like 19th century sweatshop owners. But it still holds true even in the big rewarding…

Fact-Checking Is Now Just Clickbait Garbage
Daniel Greenfield
And no, we’re not talking about Snopes. Though it’s fact checking spam has become notorious. Instead this is the end result of the media’s hysteria about “fake news”, the pressure on Facebook and Google to embed fact checkers, and the subsequent swarm of clickbait fact checks. This story itself doesn’t matter. It’s just symptomatic of…

We Don’t Have a “Zero Tolerance” Policy for Illegal Migration
Daniel Greenfield
The fake news media spent the past week screeching that we have a policy of “separating families” at the border. And that this is a “zero tolerance” policy. Nope. The only policy we have is arresting people who cross the border illegally. That’s it. If they have kids, then like every other criminal with kids,…

Playing Identity Politics With Ocean’s 8
Daniel Greenfield
Ocean’s 8 seemed like it might escape the dreaded curse of the failed Ghostbusters reboot and the faltering Disney Wars franchise. It didn’t show disdain for previous incarnations. And it was doing well enough that, unlike Ghostbusters and Solo, didn’t need to lean on identity politics to excuse its failures. But there are no shortage…

“I Want to Kill All You Jews”: Muslim With Knife Chases UK Jewish Children
Daniel Greenfield
As Mayor Sadiq Khan would say, having your children chased down the street by a knife-wielding Muslim woman screaming about the Jews is ”part and parcel of living in a great global city.” A female suspect was arrested on Sunday after she ran after children with a knife while shouting “I want to kill all…
