AMA Unscientifically Calls Gun Violence a “Disease”
Daniel Greenfield
Crime is not a health problem. Murder is not a disease. When people who claim to be guided by the rules of science start throwing around overheated rhetoric like that, they lose all credibility. CHICAGO — With frustration mounting over lawmakers’ inaction on gun control, the American Medical Association on Tuesday pressed for a ban…

Majority of Voters Say Mueller Investigation Unfair
Daniel Greenfield
(Art by Bosch Fawstin) Dems bet hard on Team Coup to deliver. But Team Coup can’t pull off a coup without public support. And that support is withdrawing fast. Voters interviewed for the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll also have changed direction on whether they think the Mueller investigation has been on the up and up. In…

The Appeasement Letter the Terrorists Don’t Want to Read
Daniel Greenfield
The Wall Street Journal had the bad sense and worse taste to print a sloppy kiss to Yossi Klein Halevi’s latest tract (probably paywalled). “Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor”. Despite the title, the only possible audience for books like these are formed by lefty anti-Israel Jews. The conceit is false from the start. The letters…

Why Do Black People Hate Cynthia Nixon?
Daniel Greenfield
The media loves covering Cynthia Nixon because she’s just Bernie Sanders if the bespectacled bumbling socialist had starred on a terrible series instead of renaming post offices while dreaming of the Comintern.

Rod Rosenstein to Congress: “We Will Subpoena Your Records”
Daniel Greenfield
I’m sure the media will be up in arms over this blatant attempt at intimidating legislators looking into government abuses some time between next Thursday and never. But it shows how open this war between elected and unelected officials is becoming. The emails memorialized a January 2018 closed-door meeting involving senior FBI and Justice Department…

Lefty Movies Never Fail, Audiences and Fans Fail Them
Daniel Greenfield
Lefty politics is failure proof. If the politics are right, they can’t fail. They can only be failed. And that goes for movies too. When a cinematic exercise in virtue signaling fails, it’s the fault of audiences. Or as the latest spin for Kathleen Kennedy and Star Wars goes, the fans. But fans can’t fail…

The ACLU Officially Becomes a Partisan Group
Daniel Greenfield
The ACLU has abandoned any pretense of being a civil rights group and has become just another flavor of the left. For the first time in its history, the A.C.L.U. is taking an active role in elections. The group has plans to spend more than twenty-five million dollars on races and ballot initiatives by Election…
