Daniel Greenfield
The media likes to pretend that it’s moderate. So of course it’s giddily cheering Rep. Joe Crowley’s loss to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a socialist community organizer and DSA member.

The American Library Association Purges Little House on the Prairie
Daniel Greenfield
The American Library Association is a radical leftist organization. And Little House on the Prairie, from its very origins, was a conservative narrative. A story about family, faith and hard work. Laura’s daughter who helped her work on the books was one of the three great female libertarian figures. And the books posed an implicit…

Maxine Waters is a Clown and a Joke
Daniel Greenfield
“Our millennials are a force. I recognize it. And I was a millennial once,” Rep. Maxine Waters. Some Dem House members actually believe what they’re saying. Others fastened onto the whole resistance gimmick because it makes them popular and brings in support. Maxine Waters is definitely in that latter category. Waters figured out that if…
