TFP used to be less messy. Not a fan of the two paragraphs followed by a link format which feels specific to Wiseman. I just delete them, or rather, save them for later and as they pile up I delete them.

The contrast in the short audio piece between Tucker Carlson and Alexei Navalny could not be more clear. Thanks for bringing up the obvious fact about how fatuous Carlson is. IN many was Navalny reminds me of Dietrich Bonhoeffer - who returned to what he knew was a certain death at the end of WWII. Thank you.

"→ A death on campus and America’s overdose nightmare: Marco Troper, a 19-year-old Berkeley freshman and the son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, died in a dorm room in a suspected drug overdose last week."

Well, that's a simple problem to solve. Just pass laws against the sale of drugs and the problem goes away. Piece of cake.

What's happening today

New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman NY is joining forces with Rep. Rashida Tlaib.You lose the Jew vote than join forces with the Jew hater vot. Bowman does not give a shit about the 80000 blacks Muslim killed in Nigeria. Can he put on white face also Durham NC passes a pro Muslim resolution. Nice to see durham has now become another Muslim city. And it's nice to see durham continue its hatred of blacks. A group of pro-Palestinian faculty and staff at Harvard University apologized Monday for posting an image that school administrators and Jewish leaders called antisemitic.Admit it Harvard is now a Muslim religious college.

It is always nice when Truth occasionally breaks through.

Robert,

I, too, am not offended by strong language except when it is used gratuitously, as with a number of commenters here. Gratuitous vulgar language, violence and the like diminish effective communication. That's what I meant by a deterioration of the nature of the comments. I do not accept loaded language from bad actors.

You are an astute reader it appears to me, so you know what I am writing about.

As for the beautiful landscapes of the desert, I am with you there. The desert and red rock scenes fused with a Western image are breathtaking. Thinking Maynard Dixon.

Let's use a piece of art, such as the pristine desert scenes by Maynard Dixon and describe them as "fucking good art." This type of language to convey beauty, is a lazy man's utterance. I see this here and while not surprised, am still disappointed in the lack of specific language to convey rage, disbelief, and even mild frustration.

This is a junior high use of language.

Jeezus fucking Louise! in a world which has declared that you can defy biology and choose to change your sex on a whim, a couple of salty descriptive adjectives probably shouldn't offend you. Now, on principle I agree that decorum should have won the day, as it has for so many centuries, but really dude, that horse has done left the barn, don't you think?

Re: the Trump Truckers NYC boycott, most truckers say they have heard nothing about it, the guy who “started” it has deleted all his posts, and “it’s not happening”.

The "pricks and bedwetters" comment was rich when the Chief Prick and Bedwetter at the time was... President Biden. Chief Prick and Bedwetter should probably be an official office of the Presidency. /s

There is no doubt Fani Willis is a DEI hire. Just ask her about continents. See what she says.

Now Grey Goose, she knows a lot about that. She’s flying on that one.
