Melania Trump and the Conspiracy Theories
Daniel Greenfield
The end stage of Conspiracism is when conspiracy theories cease being a means for achieving other goals (let’s impeach Trump because he colluded with Russia and usher in President Hillary Clinton) but when conspiracy theories become their own end even when they have no meaningful purpose. Take the Melania Trump conspiracy theories. It’s not hard…

More Mueller Headlines Having Nothing To Do With Russian Collusion
Daniel Greenfield
After $17 million spent, Team Mueller does two things well. 1. Generates headlines and profits for the Washington Post and the New York Times 2. Harasses random people linked to Trump with random charges that have nothing to do with the Russian collusion the investigation was based on The headlines this morning are all about…

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.…

The Starbucks Presidential Candidate No One Asked For
Daniel Greenfield
Howard Schultz, the executive chairman of Starbucks, has stepped down and may be running for president. But Schultz has always been political, and his decision to step down from his beloved Starbucks will only fuel questions about a presidential run. He told the Times, “For some time now, I have been deeply concerned about our…

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…

“Berlin is Ours Now And You Won’t Listen to Jewish Music Here.”
Daniel Greenfield
#COEXIST Arab assailants attacked a German Jewish teenager who was listening to Israeli music on his mobile phone on Saturday at the Zoologischer Garten train station in western Berlin. The attackers cursed the teen, identified only as a 17-year-old Berlin native called Jonathan, and threatened to kill him. When his non-Jewish friends came to his…

The Supreme Court’s Masterpiece Evasion
Daniel Greenfield
The Supreme Court’s Masterpiece Cakeshop decision was less of a ruling on the First Amendment than on the left’s growing hostility to the First Amendment. The decision isn’t truly meaningful. And it doesn’t make anyone happy. Except the owner of the cake shop. Instead the Supreme Court found a fairly broad consensus, not around the…

Bill Clinton: I Wouldn’t Have Done Anything Differently After Cheating On My Wife
Daniel Greenfield
Hillary Clinton never broke a single glass ceiling in any kind of office. She wasn’t the first female secretary of state or senator (though her people tried to make it seem that way). And she wasn’t even the only leftist female presidential candidate the year that she was running. Or the only one venally corrupt…

Tamika Mallory Tries to Morph from Anti-Semite to Anti-Zionist
Daniel Greenfield
Anti-Semites like to claim that they’re really anti-Zionists. But Tamika Mallory’s attempt to shed her anti-Semitic skin by bashing Israel has been a particularly awkward farce. The Women’s March leader ran into controversy palling around with Louis Farrakhan. Instead of condemning Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism, Mallory went on the offensive by getting the ADL allegedly fired from…

Scotland: “Quran Says Kill People Like You. We Will Kill You.”
Daniel Greenfield
Not much attention is paid to the rising Islamic influence in Scotland. Aside from the Glasgow Airport attack, there hasn’t been much in the way of terrorism. And so it’s flown under the radar. But it was the topic of one of my first Front Page Magazine articles. The likes of Osama Saeed and Hamza…
