The American Museum of Natural History Purges Its Most Famous Patron Daniel Greenfield 29 President Theodore Roosevelt was a great naturalist and he came by it naturally. His father was one of the founders of the American Museum of Natural History, and while no great monument was ever erected to him in New York City, the museum's Roosevelt rotunda and the giant statue of Roosevelt outside were the next best things to it. But, of course, the cultural revolution came calling. And the American Museum of Natural History quickly surrendered, asking that one of the most distinctive statues in the city...

"It’s no coincidence that the riots here escalated in Fairfax, the icon of the Jewish community. I saw the Watts and the Rodney King riots. They never touched a synagogue or house of prayer.

...Jones ran a leftist cult of white leaders who called themselves black and exploited their mostly black congregation, endorsing the Black Panthers and other black nationalist terror groups, while serving as a core political organization for California Democrats, including former Governor Jerry Brown. The stain of Jim Jones is still all over California. A generation of California Democrat leaders either allied with Jones or were mentored by Jones’ political allies like Willie Brown. That includes both Senator Kamala Harris and Governor Newsom. That’s why, decades later, California is still stuck in Jonestown. Jim Jones is "what you should see every...

The Jonestowning of America When the Democrats claim to care about black lives, they take them in horrifying numbers. Thu Jun 18, 2020 Daniel Greenfield 61 Dave Patrick Underwood, an African-American Federal Protective Service officer, was shot and killed at the Ronald V. Dellums Building during the radical riots in Oakland, California. A building named after Congressman Dellums is burdened with its own weight of historical complicity in leftist atrocities. "Let me commend your pastor, Jim Jones, for the dedication he is showing to his community and surrounding areas," Congressman Dellums once wrote. "And also for impact he makes on...

Supreme Court Redefines Sex, Threatens Freedom of Religion When words don’t mean anything, rights don’t mean anything. Wed Jun 17, 2020 Daniel Greenfield 158 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. When peaceful protests injure hundreds and destroy entire neighborhoods, and the coronavirus infects protesters depending on the cause they’re protesting for, words don’t mean very much. And reality itself is under siege in the minds of the men and women who run the country. A Southern Democrat segregationist inserted “sex” into the...

As I noted in today's article, Law-and-Order African Americans Stand With Trump, A Monmouth University poll however shows that 72% of African-Americans are satisfied with their local police departments. Despite what you're seeing on television, 21% of African-Americans are very satisfied with the local police and another 51% are satisfied. Only 5% are very dissatisfied. Another 12% are somewhat dissatisfied...I also note in the article that, "41% of African-Americans reported that they had an experience where a police officer had helped keep them or their family members safe in a dangerous situation. That's significantly higher than the 33% of white...

De Blasio Time Daniel Greenfield - June 07, 2020 This is a classic that I wrote back in 2013 when New York voters first elected Warren Wilhelm Jr. To be fair to the lazy Marxist, he exceeded my expectations in that he didn't burn down New York City until his time in office was ending. And Islamic terrorists didn't manage to pull off a major attack. Beyond that, it's looking a lot like De Blasio time.  Do you miss the old New York City? Remember when subway trains were covered in graffiti, a news hour began with six shootings and...

The Emperor's New Mask Daniel Greenfield - June 10, 2020 The NFL is testing face masks, not for the fans in the stands, but for the players. Is there a face mask in the world that will stop virus particles from being inhaled when the players are inches apart and slamming into each other at high speeds? Probably not. But masks have become a cultural symbol. That’s why masks are being deployed in environments where they’re ridiculous and useless. A strip club in Wyoming reopened with mandatory masks. At restaurants in Atlanta, waiters wear face masks. Both are equally silly....

Obama Used National Security to Spy on Americans Opposed to Islamic Terrorists Obamagate redefined opposition to Islamic terrorism as a national security threat. Mon Jun 8, 2020 Daniel Greenfield 55 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. We know when Obamagate ended, but we don’t know when the policy of spying on Americans began.

They own it. It’s theirs. After leftist riots killed an African-American Federal Protective Service officer, caused severe injuries, destroyed businesses and vandalized churches and synagogues across Democrat cities, some difficult questions are being asked about what Democrat elected officials could have done to prevent this. Mayor Bill de Blasio blamed President Trump for the violent riots that consumed New York City as well as many other cities across the country. "The President of the United States help create this atmosphere," he falsely claimed. "It doesn't matter what your party affiliation is. It doesn't matter what you think of President Trump,...

...Good news for looters, you can find some overpriced junk with Teigen's name on it at Target....Maybe if Target stopped doing business with radical lefty celebs who help looters and rioters, its stores would be less likely to be looted. But Vladimir knew what he was talking about. Corporate America can't and won't stop following the lead of the radical lefties...Keep doubling down on social justice and eventually you'll run out of stores. When you make America a target, you also make yourself a target.

ACLU Defends Free Speech Rights of Corporations to Censor Conservatives Mon May 25, 2020 Daniel Greenfield 15 Within a generation, unions pivoted from opposing illegal immigration to supporting it, and feminist groups decided within a few months that women should no longer be believed, but the ACLU's transformation from a lefty civil rights group to an advocacy group has been the biggest farce yet. This has been a while in coming. You'll recall that the ACLU had no objections when the Obama administration had a filmmaker arrested over a YouTube video offensive to Muslims. These days the ACLU is fighting...
