Some horrifying crimes, Americans just won’t commit.April 24, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield Leave a Comment Some horrifying crimes, Americans just won’t commit. That’s why we need huge numbers of illegal aliens from random third world countries capable of snapping at any minute over Allah, some wronged sense of honor or because they just hate us, and committing horrifying crimes in broad daylight.

The indictment alleges that one of the informants paid by the SPLC helped organize a highly-publicized white extremist…

You might expect the left leaning New Yorker magazine to be at least somewhat sympathetic to the plight of Venezuelan President (via fraud) Nicolas Maduro, currently residing in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center while awaiting his court trial for drug trafficking, narco-terrorism, and weapons offences. But Diego Lasarte’s Tuesday story seems less about sympathy and more about generating laughter whether intentional or not as you can see in “What Nicolás Maduro’s Life Is Like in a Notorious Brooklyn Jail. The jail is “notorious,” and Maduro is not? The possibility of laughter immediately emerges when Lasarte reveals that Maduro’s temporary roommate was…

Borenstein’s April 22 Earth Day headline read like a heaping pile of satire: “Climate doom and gloom? Try laughing instead. Activists embrace joy in the fight to save Earth.” How is this even real? Borenstein proceeded to make his narrative out to be the plot to a Super Mario World game: “Across the world, groups of activists, teachers and psychologists…

Some of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) donors have apparently remained silent after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) charged the nonprofit this week with fraud and money laundering. One of those big-name donors is actor George Clooney, whose foundation has not yet said a word about the indictment, the New York Post reported Thursday, noting that left-wing billionaire George Soros’ foundation and MGM Resorts have also stayed quiet.
