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…

Media: How Dare You Complain About Our Collusion With Foreign Government Hackers?
Daniel Greenfield
For some context, here’s a summary of this story from March. Qatar’s influence operations took an ominous turn when Elliott Broidy, a top Trump donor, had his emails hacked by individuals he alleges were Qatari agents. “We have reason to believe this hack was sponsored and carried out by registered and unregistered agents of Qatar…

Harvard Isn’t Interested in Meritocracy or Asians
Daniel Greenfield
_Picture courtesy of Bluebear2 via Wikimedia_ The recent revelations which appear to show that Harvard maintained an Asian quota by ranking Asian applicants lower on personality even without having met them is unsurprising. The connection between higher education and meritocracy has always been shaky. It’s just less shaky in this country than in most. And…

Stop Comparing Immigration Enforcement to the Holocaust
Daniel Greenfield
The media has 2 very simple rules for Holocaust analogies. 1. The Muslim Brotherhood’s leaders praising Hitler, calling for another Holocaust and killing Jews is nothing like the Holocaust. And only shameless Zionists would attempt to equate killing Jews with killing Jews. 2. Anything a Republican president does is exactly like the Holocaust. A former…
