Is the Russia Conspiracy Theory About to Morph into an Israeli Conspiracy?
Daniel Greenfield
The Russia conspiracy theory was always an awkward fit. Hillary Clinton had come bearing a Reset Button to Russia. Obama had run on a Russian reset and there he was on a hot mic telling Russia’s Medvedev that he’d have more flexibility to sell out our interests after the election. And the whole Russian hysteria…

Shaun King’s 11 Best Excuses for Not Denouncing Farrakhan
Daniel Greenfield
Angry social justice activist Shaun King has many reasons for not denouncing Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism. Like, Farrakhan’s son just died. Also, I never met him. Almost too many reasons to count. (Aside from the fact that if you’re this white, you need as much cred as you can get.) But here are 11. 1. It’s…

PLO: Iran is Financing the Hamas Violent Riots
Daniel Greenfield
This was already widely presumed to be the case. Hamas is largely funded by Iran and Qatar. (The two terror states are strategic allies.) But Qatar hasn’t directed Hamas’ military operations.

Take the Melania Trump conspiracy theories. It’s not hard…

Trump, the Eagles and Culture Wars
Daniel Greenfield
Trump dumping the Eagles brings together two things that his supporters like about him. 1. He fights culture wars 2. He doesn’t care about the liberal consensus, but the conservative one. Past Republican presidents would occasionally, very tentatively, wade into culture wars, usually with a nice speech, that would be roundly mocked. And then retreat.…

Howard Schultz, the executive chairman of Starbucks, has stepped down and may be running for president.

Socialism Destroys Educational System in Venezuela
Daniel Greenfield
The left claims to love education. Whenever it takes over, it expands the educational system because it’s a convenient way to indoctrinate a new generation. But what happens when it runs out of money? Then it runs out of teachers and professors. That’s what we’re seeing in Venezuela where public education has imploded as inflation…
