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

Planned Parenthood Mistreated Pregnant Employees
Daniel Greenfield
A militant abortion organization discriminating against pregnant women? Next thing you’ll tell me that the KKK doesn’t offer good working conditions for black people and that joining ISIS when you’re gay, doesn’t pay. Planned Parenthood, despite its name, is not exactly a fan of children. Unless they can be chopped up and resold for parts.

Reminder: Obama Went Through 4 Secretaries of Defense
Daniel Greenfield
The media is losing its mind over the Mattis resignation while treating the departure of one defense secretary as an unmitigated crisis. Barack Hussein Obama went through 4 secretaries of defense. (Not to mention multiple commanders who were forced out.) Three of his secretaries of defense, Robert Gates, Leon Panetta and Chuck Hagel left and

Get Ready for +12 Dem Debates
Daniel Greenfield
Last time around, the GOP had a lot of primary talent, while the Dems were stuck Hillary Clinton with Bernie Sanders as an alternative losing option. This time around the Dems are facing primary elections that everyone wants to leap into like a heated pool on a cold winter day. And I do mean everyone.

Trump, Mattis and the “International Order”
Daniel Greenfield
I didn’t like Mattis. After all the cult of personality gimmicks and quotes, his views on Islamic terrorism were disturbingly establishment. While he was an advocate for using greater force, which was good, he refused to address or to allow to be addressed, the central problem. And he went out of his way to pander

Why Elizabeth Warren’s Plan to Have the Government Make Drugs Makes No Sense
Daniel Greenfield
Senator Elizabeth Warren, in a desperate bid for 2020 relevance, rolled out a plan to create a Office of Drug Manufacturing that would have the government manufacture generic drugs and sell them at a “fair price”. Let’s sidestep all the obvious free market discussions here about the Affordable Drug Manufacturing Act. The government doesn’t have
