Routh was convicted of a federal crime. Meaning if a democrat becomes president in 2029 they can commute the sentence or pardon him. Why ? Because he was a potential hero to team blueberry and their commitment to the rule of law is situational. Now let's hear all the whataboutism. But please no foaming mouths.
They would not only pardon Routh, they'll try their best to resurrect that dipshit who shot the Orange One in Butler, PA so they can give him a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Shucks, they'll probably try to find a way to spring Charlie Kirk's killer.
This is a structural comment. For each article, my subscriber's email displays three links that all go to the same article: a bold-faced headline in black, immediately followed by a repetition of the exact same headline, but now smaller and in blue, and then a sentence or two blurbing the article, followed by a third link reading "READ FULL STORY" in red. It looks messy and amateurish. Are people really having that much trouble finding links, or the FP having that much trouble attracting click-throughs, that THREE repetitions are required for each piece?
After the great story recently about the de-transitioner winning a lawsuit, I'm surprised FP hasn't followed up with stories about the ASPS and AMA modifying their treatment guidelines.
So…..the WAPO didn’t endorse Kamala and 250,000 subscribers cancelled? Now that’s a cancel culture. With that mentality eventually you’d have to give up reading altogether.
When huges swaths of the electorate are essentially disenfranchised through gerrymandering, it should come as no surprise when people no longer view their government as legitimate.
About antisemitism. “the fight against antisemitism, which is on the rise among far-right influencers who profess the faith.” Currently all the “experts“ are claiming that antisemitism is on the rise on the far right. What these all failed to do is to recognize that antisemitism has been an undercurrent for a very long time, and it has nothing to do with whether you are right leaving or left. I remember working as a babysitter for a family going to the mother and saying, “I heard your teenage son use the word Kike.“. She responded that there was not a good Jew anywhere. I’m sure she was a registered Republican. At the same time I grew up in an ethnic neighborhood of people, all Democrats, who at best could be called blue collar, except that I don’t think that people who dig ditches are blue collar. Is there a category below blue collar? Anyway, both my father, who was a decent man and my neighbors who were also decent people always referred to Jews with pejorative terms. They would remind everyone that the Jews killed Jesus. That was their justification.Maybe the press is paying more attention. Maybe some people are more verbal about their prejudice. But not to recognize that antisemitism has always been an undercurrent for hundreds or maybe thousands of years I don’t know, is stupid. I tried to think of another word that would convey stupidity, but I couldn’t think of one, so I’ll leave it there.
I would consider being attacked by Hillary Clinton to be a badge of honor.
I bet that U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and the two CIA contractors, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty are rolling in their graves and wondering about Hillary's empathy.
Hillary Clinton is a rancid, old gasbag whose acute narcissism prevents her from seeing that she is well beyond her sell-by date and that no one cares any more what she thinks.
And still you are missing the biggest story in Britain -- re Epstein -- the Mandelson scandal and will it take Starmer down after his admissions of yesterday?
Andrew Mountbatton-Winsor's midnight flit is vaguely interesting, but with Mandelson, we are talking great betrayal and sleaze at the heart of the Labour Party. The question is not if Starmer will go but when and which Labour MP will replace him. Labour has too big of a majority and Starmer will not go for the nuclear option of calling a General election. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/02/05/politics-latest-news-starmer-speech-mandelson-files-epstein/
This gives a great pictorial representation of Mandelson's influence within the Labour party: https://x.com/Steven_Swinford/status/2019367436240257172 because sometimes it can be hard for people outside Britain to understand just how big a web he spun.
Apparently Starmer's press conference was a car crash.
" the fight against antisemitism, which is on the rise among far-right influencers who profess the faith"
Truly a remarkable falsehood considering the shocking levels of near-institutional Left-wing antisemitism that have burst into the open on American campuses.
This sentence was in reference to the interview with the former archbishop, whose focus is naturally on people who share his faith and his concern about rising antisemitism among them. It is not addressing left-wing Jew hatred because the left is not, generally, Catholic at as high a percentage as the right.
The “Rise of antisemitism on the right” PSYOP is basically all of these at once.
Appeal to emotion because people are rightly very sensitive about actual antisemitism.
Strawman argument because it includes claims that wanting to stay out of Israel’s business is somehow hatred of Jews
Bandwagon fallacy because many people are expressing increasing concern about this according to polls.
False dilemma because it pretends we are choosing between actual antisemitism on the left vs. allegedly the same thing on the right (fake).
Ad hominem because calling someone an antisemite is a death sentence for them socially.
Appeal to authority is when they cite communist groups like the ADL that use antisemitism as a weapon to advance communist objectives and have the false “authority” of supposedly being Jewish entities.
Slippery slope is the part where Nick Fuentes’ shock jock routine is going to lead to Nazi Germany 2.0
Hasty generalization is when you pick extremely rare instances and cite them as indications of something more prevalent.
Red herring is when you import 2 million jihadis and then point at Tucker Carlson’s offensive podcast.
False equivalence is the tried and true bOtH SiDeS technique.
Thanks for mentioning this. That line shocked me in light of recent history, but then I looked at the byline and it all made sense. There are too many TFP writers who try to skew their stories left, even when they have to misrepresent the facts to do it.
We all know that "Globalize the Intifada" and "Go back to Poland" are things that tens of thousands of right-wing students are chanting on campus... Right?
Thanks for the piece on Hillary. And yet there are millions ( including so many journalists) who still revere the old gal who never showed any compassion or empathy for those who disagreed with her ( and needed to be re-educated ). AI will keep her alive forever.
I would consider being attacked by Hillary Clinton to be a badge of honor. I cannot think of any post-war politician with more hate in their heart than Hillary. Well, maybe George Wallace, but even he repented...

How about an article where Nigerian Americans are asked about what is occurring in Nigeria? All those who are so very focused on oppessed-oppressor narratives need to know more.
Scott Bessant is magnificent!!

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.

" the fight against antisemitism, which is on the rise among far-right influencers who profess the faith"
I literally laughed out loud at that statement.
The "far-right influencers" are pissing in the lefty ocean of anti-semitism.

Kemi Badenoch's questions on Mandelson during recent parliament questions session was fun to watch
She is on a roll. This is Kemi at today's press conference. https://x.com/Conservatives/status/2019378508183794053
Starmer was hopeless at his btw.
I fully expect Starmer to be ousted. There won't be GE until 2029. Plenty of time for Kemi to grow even formidable.
As she mentioned after it was pointed out that a mouse scurried behind her yesterday, she is pretty good at dealing with the rodents in her own party.

Here are the core components of a PSYOP:
1) Appeal to emotion
2) Strawman argument
3) Bandwagon fallacy
4) False dilemma
5) Ad hominem
6) Appeal to authority
7) Slippery slope
8) Hasty generalization
9) Red herring

Could the Washington Post be more tone deaf? In their activist journalism, they've followed an ideology to the bottom of the ocean.
Thanks for the piece on Hillary. And yet there are millions ( including so many journalists) who still revere the old gal who never showed any compassion or empathy for those who disagreed with her ( and needed to be re-educated ). AI will keep her alive forever.
