Roseanne and Kaepernick: David French’s Decency Fallacy
Daniel Greenfield
Decency is the word of the day for Trump haters. Hardly a day passes without David Frum, Max Boot and the rest of the gang invoking “decency.” Now David French has the answer to the free speech debate in the Washington Post. It’s decency! Barr’s Twitter attack on Valerie Jarrett, now deleted: “muslim brotherhood &…

“Racist” Administration has Smallest Racial Unemployment Gap in History
Daniel Greenfield
President Trump is racist. He’s so racist that we’re now looking at the smallest gap between black and white unemployment in American history. During a time of already record low unemployment. The unemployment rate in the U.S. has fallen to its lowest point in 18 years, additionally shrinking the gap between black unemployment and white…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid Called for Ethnically Cleansing Jews from Israel
Daniel Greenfield
MSNBC continues to maintain its red wall of silence on Joy Reid. But the ugliness just keeps rising. The old blog posts by the progressive personality reek of every bigotry that the left claims to condemn.

Amnesty International: Banning Segregation of Women Violates Women’s Rights
Daniel Greenfield
Denmark passed a law banning the burka. The tent-like garment is a form of mobile purdah, or segregation, that covers the entire body. Denmark joined some other European countries in deciding Thursday to ban garments that cover the face, including Islamic veils such as the niqab or burqa. In a 75-30 vote with 74 absentees,…

Roseanne: Free Speech Isn’t Just About Government Restrictions
Daniel Greenfield
Katherine Timpf at National Review offers a very reductive take on Roseanne’s firing. She was fired, and she deserved to be fired. Her comment was racist and unacceptable, and I would not want someone who had made that kind of comment representing my company, either. It really seems that simple to me, but oddly enough,…

Jill Stein Recount Going Exactly As You Expect
Daniel Greenfield
Before the Mueller coup won the soft hearts of progs from Marin County to Martha’s Vineyard, before Hillary’s Sour Grapes Across America tour, there was Jill Stein’s recount. Dr Jill Stein, DDS, PDHD, DOS, SNAFU, announced that there would be a recount of the election. The more money gullible idiots sent her, the more recounting…

FOX News Beat the Blue Wave on Cable
Daniel Greenfield
Hating Trump has meant big things for the bottom lines of the New York Times and the Washington Post. And their cable peers, CNN and MSNBC also appeared to be riding a wave. And then, like a drunken surfer, the wave left them while they plummeted back to earth trailing ads, memes and viewers. In…
