I want to give praise to Maya Sulkin for her interviews. I have watched/listened to several of her interviews now. I noticed that she always comes to these interviews well prepared with backgrounds understanding and insightful questions for the guests. Keep up the good works.
One comment on this DEI topics as it pertains to Asian American student admissions to IVY League universities. The reality is that there are only so many spots each year for admissions (i.e., the pie is only so big). When you want to admit some other disadvantaged groups, you are forced to refused other equally qualified and even more qualified students. In that sense, equity and fairness are mutually exclusive.
Kudos to The Free Press for publishing the story about the state of DEI in America. That DEI's shortcomings and failure to produce the desired results in not unexpected but the will and courage to discuss these issues is refreshing. Thank you.

"Israel launched another round of attacks against Hezbollah on Tuesday, striking several targets across Lebanon. The renewed offensive comes at a particularly volatile moment, as the U.S. continues to push for a peace deal with Iran."
Hezbollah is directly responsible for killing 241 Americans in Beirut and Iran is indirectly responsible by sponsoring that attack as well as countless others. Both need to be crushed. Iran will never negotiate in good faith and making a deal with them now will be little different than making a deal with them under Obama.
They are never going to stop working to build nuclear weapons and they literally have the destruction of America and Israel written into their constitution. After 47 years of being the number one worldwide sponsor of terror, how can anyone believe that they can change?
Please Mr. President, cut the head off of this viper.
Hard to reconcile the response to fraud and why every single American who pays taxes (except those perpetrating the fraud) are not screaming for justice. If someone steals your credit and goes on a $1000 shopping spree at COSTCO you’d be mad as hell and calling the card company. It’s the same damn thing. If we can’t agree on that we are so fuc…….screwed.
Biden suing to stop release of recordings and documents. Hmmmm, now why would someone do that? Dr. Jill’s interview regarding Joes performance during his meltdown debate was absolutely gag inducing. When followed by the video of her telling him how great he did during the debate was unreal. If she thought he was having a stroke she sure didn’t see the need to rush him for medical treatment.
All involved in propping up the last two years of his Presidency should be prosecuted for high crimes against the US.
Goes back to the old dem adage, Don't believe what you see and hear!! Believe what WE tell you to believe! And I guess its really not that old. There are plenty of people who still believe what they are TOLD to believe, and NOT what they see and hear.
It's hysterical hearing Jilly tell everyone he had a stroke. No medical treatment, no concern after. Just lots of cheerleading and kissy-face about how *GREAT* he did.
When there is an NBC article about Biden and Jill thinking he had a stroke, it eventually turns a corner and starts talking about Trump, as if that famous debate was a tie. Right after the debate you had Biden enthusiasts spinning the results until the emperors new clothes effect became obvious….
You think you WON'T find DEI offices and staff if you visit almost any US college campus today (or decent-sized municipality or corporation)? The only differences from a few years ago are that the office won't be called DEI, and the most extreme staffers -- the ones whose views were creating Title IX, Title VII, and equal protection lawsuits -- will be missing. But otherwise the beat goes on.
Well, to the credit of the university I work for, they really did completely remove it. Not sure if there is anything with a different name replacing it, but I no longer have to have a certain number of hours of "diversity training" for my annual review anymore (with nothing to replace it either) and I don't see any emails or articles of similar initiatives. I suspect there are still a lot of universities that are trying to maintain it stealthily though.
"The financial app Robinhood launched a new feature that will allow AI agents to trade stocks and make credit-card purchases. The addition will let users directly connect programs like Anthropic’s Claude or coding software like Cursor to their profile, and even provide the agent with its own dedicated trading account." Geee...can't imagine anything going wrong here!
I think humans really are stupid enough to create Terminator and Matrix type realities. Of course, AI currently can't "think" at all, it's just processing information like a search engine only a lot faster and more sophisticated. But still.
"Elbridge Colby has emerged as a leading foreign policy theorist in the Trump administration advocating for a focus on China over conflicts in the Middle East."
1. If you look a Iran, it is connected to the PRC

Judge Boasberg issues light sentence in US AID related fraud case. Defendant argued his communal culture was a big part of his accepting bribes. Res ipsa loquitor .
Amen. You should see the WSJ these days. Hard left in many cases. I read to keep abreast and avoid comments as ths lack of intellectual honesty is abundant ( maybe thats what the nyt fellas were urging on the subject of abundance??)
Genocide is defined as “violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in part or in whole, a national, racial, ethnic or religious group.” Are you accusing Israel of actually doing this? When it specifically was targeting Hamas as its enemy? When the population of Gaza actually increased over the last 2.5 years? That the death count is ~60,000 (per Hamas) of a population of 2.5 million? Did “innocent” Gazans die? Yes, absolutely.
What we’ve seen is NOT a genocide but a war. And, Hamas, as a fighting force in Gaza, used civilians as human shields. That is fact.
But, the “genocide” narrative, which started even before Israel invaded Gaza was already being deployed.
Tony, those that call this a genocide, even the so called experts, as tools of Hamas. Useful idiots.
You seem to be a smart guy. Don’t be an idiot, a tool of the Progressive Left and a supporter of the Red/Green Alliance.
I did and then stopped because there was no way I could read his drivel and then go back to writing. I learnt a long time ago that I can't control what someone says or does, but I can control how I react to it. And I'm certainly not going to give them the permission to change my mood. So, he can keep walking into oblivion!
Why did Hamas, which built about 500 miles of tunnels under Gaza, not allow civilians to shelter there? Ask yourself that before accusing Israel of anything. The people of Gaza knew exactly what Hamas was doing...hard to hide a construction project on that scale. Essentially, they were onboard with Hamas' strategy.
As far as I'm concerned, Hamas and their fellow Palestinians have conducted the largest human sacrifice in history. All in order to influence gullible westerners like you. Seems that their ethics have advanced very little from the days when their ancestors worshiped Moloch. But then again, they say openly that they love death like we love life.
Tony, words matter. Genocide requires intent to destroy a people as such. Israel is targeting Hamas and Hezbollah, not Palestinians as a national or ethnic group. You can criticize tactics, civilian harm, or proportionality without flattening every war into “genocide.”
It’s not Hezbollah and Hamas - Israel has been very clear since 1948 and the Nakba. They intend to clear all Palestinians out of Israel, then expand Israel to the greater Levant. Why do you think they’ve moved into Lebanon, while the US fights their proxy war for them in Iran?
Not just Gaza, but the occupied colonies on the West Bank as well. There’s nowhere for the Palestinians to go, so the IDF herds them into refugee camps and systematically starves them. If that’s the kind of state you support, then may God have mercy on your soul.
You *do* realize that there ARE palestinians LIVING in Israel, right? Working in Israel. Some are even IN the Government of Israel. How many Israeli's in the palestine government?
The Israelis are NOT 'herding' palestinians into refugee camps. They have cities with buildings and infrastructure. If they are living in tents, its because they are lobbing bombs into Israel, and Israel lobs them back. That tends to destroy structures...
"systemically starving" ??? How can they be systemically starving them when ISRAEL is the country sending literal tons of food, water, and medical supplies?? Oh, wait. You don't know that Hamas *steals* all of that and then holds it hostage, selling it to the people, or 'rewarding' those who fight.
How many generations does it take to stop being 'refugees'?? And they were NEVER refugees to start with. The UN began calling them that when their home countries wouldn't allow them to return after the war in 1967.
Israel’s enemies have also been very clear since 1948: Jews into the sea, assuming they don’t kill them first.
The UN partitioned the land. One side accepted. The other chose war. Decades of rejected deals, failed leadership, terror campaigns, and regional meddling followed.
So no, I’m not buying the tidy morality play where Israel is uniquely evil and everyone else is just a misunderstood peace activist with rockets.
You can criticize Israel’s policies without rewriting the conflict as if one side is innocent victimhood incarnate and the other is cartoon evil. The word “genocide” is being used here because it carries maximum emotional force, not because it cleanly fits the legal definition.
If there's any genocide being contemplated, it's by Hamas, against Israelis. And that's what protest-happy college students and other undereducated patsies with their keffiyehs and baklavas don't get.
The worlds slowest genocide I guess? How long has the conflict been going on? Decades. If Israel is committing genocide they are obviously pretty terrible at it. Personally, I don't take the word of terrorists over the word of democratic states (Israel has a large Arab population, so again, not very good at genocide it seems). Clearly, you do.
All one has to do is observe what Iran has built in the 47 years of appeasement and trying to buy peace from those who don't want peace but domination to understand, Iran should have been dealt with a long time ago. And like a festering boil that will eventually come to a head and needs to be dealt with, we finally have leadership which recognizes Iran can no longer be appeased or ignored. But then the one thing boomers are very good at is kicking the can down the road to royally screw our future generations. The mess' are ours to clean up and not pass on to anyone else and we must shoulder the suffering of the consequences. We have already caused great harm to the first two generations to follow us. Time to step up and o what needs to be done. And sitting on our hands is not an option.
You'rer not really having any deep thoughts here are you? Obama tried to buy peace. Oooops you say. Sanctions do work. Unless of course you have proof they don't in all cases.
Because when biden lifted the sanctions on Iran: President Biden did not officially lift sanctions on Iran, but his administration has been criticized for lax enforcement, which allowed Iran's oil exports to increase significantly. This has enabled Iran to fund various militant groups and activities in the region
he Biden administration on Thursday rescinded former president Donald Trump’s restoration of U.N. sanctions on Iran, an announcement that could help Washington move toward rejoining the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at reining in the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program. "how did that work out"
Google: did biden's with drawing the sanctions on Iran help Iran
Tells how the Iranians financed the tens of thousands drones and missiles they fired everyday this year. How did the finance their fast boats, especially the ones that were not human run but robot boats.
I could go one. But you are a loser using the same arguments the losers used prior to Nov 2024.
But I encourage you to keep posting. People like you are one of the best things going for Republicans. Play to the base, alienate independents and lose elections. What a strategy!
I don’t appreciate the condescension “Karyn”. I’m a decorated 66 year old combat veteran and retired senior officer. I’ve seen the horrors of war. My son is an officer in the Navy Reserve. I’m terrified that he will be sent to the Gulf. Where’s the Israeli Navy? Harassing peaceful flotillas in international waters?
Wasn’t Iran behind the Beirut bombing that killed over 200 marines? Isn’t Iran behind the entire terrorist networks. 47 years of attacks on Americans. Am I missing something?
Dunno, Tony, but when a regime chants “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” for decades, funds armed proxies, and fires missiles at its enemies, I tend not to assume they’re just misunderstood poets
You are right that Iran never threatened anyone, just like Joe Biden was sharp as a tack and hard for his staff to keep up with. Here are a couple of examples of expressions of love from the Iranian regime:
"We are planning to break America, Israel, and their partners and allies... and cleanse the planet from the filth of their existence." Hossein Salami (Former IRGC Commander), 2019.
"Yes, it will happen. Death to America will happen…”. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, November 1922.
Tens of thousands drones, missiles, medium range missiles. Ability to close the Hormuz strait.
Wow the cult leader accusing others of being what he is. Iran has vowed, in writing, to destroy and wipe off the map Israel. So, either you call the Iranian government liars, or you believe what they say. Are you calling them liars? The threat is enough, along with Iran's growing ability to fulfill that threat, that you have to give Israel the same deference you give Iran to fight to save their country and population. And it doesn't take an ICBM for Iran to bring a nuclear device into this country. In fact, that is a childish and stupid statement to make. They will smuggle it in and use it. For all we know, when joe left the border open, the parts for such a bomb and the humans with skills to assemble it are already here. Take your propaganda and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Iran has stated it's purpose and hacks like you can't deny it.
I want to give praise to Maya Sulkin for her interviews. I have watched/listened to several of her interviews now. I noticed that she always comes to these interviews well prepared with backgrounds understanding and insightful questions for the guests. Keep up the good works.

A Nation that is unwilling to defend itself from enemies both foreign and domestic will not remain a country for long.
Nor one where half the citizenry constantly expresses hatred and disdain for their own country. And yet never leave for greener pastures
All one need do to validate your comment is look at some of the comments on TFP.
Fortunately they seem to be a minority.....for now!
Amen. You should see the WSJ these days. Hard left in many cases. I read to keep abreast and avoid comments as ths lack of intellectual honesty is abundant ( maybe thats what the nyt fellas were urging on the subject of abundance??)
I avoid comments on all MSM outlets. They are a cesspool and a total waste of time. Probably a lot of bots of all sorts as well.
Not sure what happened at the WSJ but they have been off the rails for sometime now.
Many of their news reporters are J HOs.
"Israel launched another round of attacks against Hezbollah on Tuesday, striking several targets across Lebanon."
Good.

"Tony, those that call this a genocide, even the so called experts, as tools of Hamas."
I think this comment is meant for Tony Ledsham. I'm B., and glad Israel is retaliating against these Islamist murderers.
B does it seem like there is a growing number of insufferable assholes on TFP?
I “experienced combat” but I’d never be a jerk who assumes civilians are somehow disqualified from having an opinion on military operations.
We have at least one incredibly condescending prig on TFP this AM.
Which one is that?
Keep reading. It will jump out at you. The guy is the definition of jerkiness
I did and then stopped because there was no way I could read his drivel and then go back to writing. I learnt a long time ago that I can't control what someone says or does, but I can control how I react to it. And I'm certainly not going to give them the permission to change my mood. So, he can keep walking into oblivion!
An uniformed, non critically thinking prig
"A condescending prig"?
Worse than that, Lanny.
You're not going to get an argument from me.
Don’t worry answering the question, Lanny. I just found him
Yep!
If it was a one off that is one thing but this guy seems intent on being a bigger jerk with each reply
You probably support the genocide in Gaza (and now Lebanon) don’t you Lanny?
Why did Hamas, which built about 500 miles of tunnels under Gaza, not allow civilians to shelter there? Ask yourself that before accusing Israel of anything. The people of Gaza knew exactly what Hamas was doing...hard to hide a construction project on that scale. Essentially, they were onboard with Hamas' strategy.

Well said Stan.
If the IDF were conducting a genocide, the Gaza Strip would have been devoid of life in under three months.
Oh, my… good ole Tony pulled the “genocide” card. Hey, Tony… have you recently looked up the definition of “genocide”?
I have Rick, many times. Listen to the experts, not Fox News
https://theconversation.com/is-israel-committing-genocide-in-gaza-we-asked-5-legal-and-genocide-experts-how-to-interpret-the-violence-262688
Tony, words matter. Genocide requires intent to destroy a people as such. Israel is targeting Hamas and Hezbollah, not Palestinians as a national or ethnic group. You can criticize tactics, civilian harm, or proportionality without flattening every war into “genocide.”

Whatever it is you’re smoking, I want some of that. I hate reality.
This guy just gets more delusional with each reply.
BUT it is interesting to read the ravings of someone who is that consumed with hate.
You *do* realize that there ARE palestinians LIVING in Israel, right? Working in Israel. Some are even IN the Government of Israel. How many Israeli's in the palestine government?
The Israelis are NOT 'herding' palestinians into refugee camps. They have cities with buildings and infrastructure. If they are living in tents, its because they are lobbing bombs into Israel, and Israel lobs them back. That tends to destroy structures...

How many generations does it take to stop being 'refugees'?? And they were NEVER refugees to start with. The UN began calling them that when their home countries wouldn't allow them to return after the war in 1967.
You should *really* do some research.
Karyn, I’ve already asked him for some of what he’s smoking. If he really is a him!
Israel’s enemies have also been very clear since 1948: Jews into the sea, assuming they don’t kill them first.
The UN partitioned the land. One side accepted. The other chose war. Decades of rejected deals, failed leadership, terror campaigns, and regional meddling followed.

Using logic on this jerk is pointless.
You people have stripped the word genocide of its gravity.
This guy is clueless.
His hatred overrides his ability to form a coherent argument.
Wrong!
You really can't help yourself this AM.
"genocide"
You crack me up.
See, Lanny, they always reveal themselves in the end.
Yep!
And that President Trump is what we should be doing in Iran.
I’m guessing neither of you two have experienced combat…
Have you ever experienced combat on the ground? Ever been involved in a dog fight with the enemy?
You’re dead wrong. Please don’t make assumptions.
All one has to do is observe what Iran has built in the 47 years of appeasement and trying to buy peace from those who don't want peace but domination to understand, Iran should have been dealt with a long time ago. And like a festering boil that will eventually come to a head and needs to be dealt with, we finally have leadership which recognizes Iran can no longer be appeased or ignored.

You don’t “buy” peace with crippling sanctions. You’re 180 out dan.
You'rer not really having any deep thoughts here are you? Obama tried to buy peace. Oooops you say. Sanctions do work. Unless of course you have proof they don't in all cases.
Because when biden lifted the sanctions on Iran: President Biden did not officially lift sanctions on Iran, but his administration has been criticized for lax enforcement, which allowed Iran's oil exports to increase significantly.

But I encourage you to keep posting. People like you are one of the best things going for Republicans. Play to the base, alienate independents and lose elections. What a strategy!
How has Iran threatened anyone? You’re blinded by Zionist propaganda…
What are you, 13? 14? I know summer has started with school out, but seriously. Maybe go mow some lawns and get some fresh air.
My kids like virtually all kids went through that phase of knowing everything.
They grew out of it.
Perhaps Tony will too.
BUT I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for him to gain some humility.
I don’t appreciate the condescension “Karyn”. I’m a decorated 66 year old combat veteran and retired senior officer. I’ve seen the horrors of war. My son is an officer in the Navy Reserve. I’m terrified that he will be sent to the Gulf. Where’s the Israeli Navy? Harassing peaceful flotillas in international waters?
Yes. Not only threatened but continues to threaten the western world and, certainly, Israel.
Wasn’t Iran behind the Beirut bombing that killed over 200 marines? Isn’t Iran behind the entire terrorist networks. 47 years of attacks on Americans. Am I missing something?
You are correct. I really think that this guy, if he really is a guy, is not doing anything other than seeking childish attention. Let’s ignore him.
Dunno, Tony, but when a regime chants “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” for decades, funds armed proxies, and fires missiles at its enemies, I tend not to assume they’re just misunderstood poets
You are right that Iran never threatened anyone, just like Joe Biden was sharp as a tack and hard for his staff to keep up with. Here are a couple of examples of expressions of love from the Iranian regime:
"We are planning to break America, Israel, and their partners and allies... and cleanse the planet from the filth of their existence." Hossein Salami (Former IRGC Commander), 2019.
"Yes, it will happen. Death to America will happen…”. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, November 1922.
All they want is to cuddle.
Each time I think surely this guy can't be anymore clueless, he goes and proves me wrong.
"How has Iran threatened anyone?"

BUT I gotta admit that his cluelessness is kinda funny.
Tens of thousands drones, missiles, medium range missiles. Ability to close the Hormuz strait.
Wow the cult leader accusing others of being what he is. Iran has vowed, in writing, to destroy and wipe off the map Israel. So, either you call the Iranian government liars, or you believe what they say. Are you calling them liars? The threat is enough, along with Iran's growing ability to fulfill that threat, that you have to give Israel the same deference you give Iran to fight to save their country and population. And it doesn't take an ICBM for Iran to bring a nuclear device into this country. In fact, that is a childish and stupid statement to make. They will smuggle it in and use it. For all we know, when joe left the border open, the parts for such a bomb and the humans with skills to assemble it are already here. Take your propaganda and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Iran has stated it's purpose and hacks like you can't deny it.
Thank God we have you to tell us the truth!
