Garland Repeatedly Dodges Questions About Trump Raid
Daniel Greenfield
UPDATE: Garland has now admitted to personally approving the raid. Attorney General Merrick Garland was asked twice by reporters about the Mar-a-Lago raid. And twice he refused to answer. This Newsweek story, supposedly from an inside source, claims that Garland didn’t specifically approve the raid. The senior Justice Department source says that Garland was regularly…

Don’t Eliminate the FBI, Eliminate the DOJ
Daniel Greenfield
Blaming the FBI for the latest instances of DOJ Democrats weaponizing the system to criminalize political opposition ignores the forest for the trees. I know that “eliminate the FBI” is a popular take, but whatever would replace it would simply serve the same function because the problem is the federal government itself. There’s a much…

Feds Used a Subpoena to Remove Docs in June. Why Couldn’t They Do It Again?
Daniel Greenfield
The big question about the legal legitimacy of this move comes down to this. As Alan Dershowitz had pointed out, “Searches and seizures should only be used when subpoenas are inappropriate because of the risk of evidence destruction.” The feds had already gone in and asked Trump’s people to secure the room. A padlock was put…

Ilhan Omar Wins Primary By Only 2,500 Votes or 2%
Daniel Greenfield
There have been plenty of signs that Rep. Ilhan Omar is politically vulnerable. Despite being a standard-bearer for the ‘Squad’ and for a lot of lefty Dems, moderates hate her and so does her own community. If you’re an Islamist or even a traditional Somali Muslim, you see an adulteress who married a white guy.…

NY Gov. Hochul Continues Pro-Crime Push, Renames “Inmate” to “Incarcerated Individual”
Daniel Greenfield
New York is suffering from a massive crime wave and Gov. Hochul’s answer is more politically correct Newspeak. These renaming efforts had already been tried, including changing criminals to “justice-involved individuals”. The awkward Newspeak terminology never works or sticks for the most obvious reasons. But there’s more here than that. Even in the face of escalating…

Afghan Muslim Refugee Was Serial Killer in New Mexico Case Blamed on “Islamophobia”
Daniel Greenfield
Before the arrest, the media tackled the story with its usual “Muslims are worried take” and kept quoting the usual Islamist “community leaders” expressing “fear” and “worry” while mentioning the usual fictional upsurge in “Islamophobia”. Readers and viewers were left to connect A to B and then to C. Except that A connected to I once again.…

Mar-a-Lago Documents At Center of FBI Raid Had Already Been Secured
Daniel Greenfield
Attorney Alan Dershowitz had already asked why Biden’s DOJ decided to raid Mar-a-Lago instead of following proper procedure. The more appropriate action would have been for a grand jury to issue a subpoena for any boxes of material that were seized and for Trump’s private safe that was opened. That would have given Trump’s lawyers the…

Can We Admit that the Pelosi Taiwan Visit Hysteria Was Over the Top?
Daniel Greenfield
In this social media culture of mass formation psychosis, one hysteria passes and another one comes just as quickly. And no one’s paying attention to what truly matters because the weapons of mass distraction keep detonating. In, The Only Dangerous Thing About Pelosi’s Taiwan Visit is Her Boss’s Cowardice, I wrote that, “American politicians regularly visit…

You Can’t Meme Biden Into a Winner
Daniel Greenfield
The Democrat media is desperately trying to reboot Biden and the Brandon memes are almost as effective as the Andy Levin memes were. The narrative that the Biden administration has been rebooted is based on dragging a bill through the reconciliation process to massively expand the IRS and push more more to green special interests.…

The Incredible Shrinking Mayor Adams
Daniel Greenfield
Unable to make much headway on crime due to state laws and woke bureaucrats, Mayor Eric Adams instead decided to pick a fight with the Governor of Texas. Is it a smart move? In California, Governor Newsom has built a possible presidential run on picking fights with more succesful conservative states, especially Florida. Despite running…
