Should Israel Pardon Bibi? The AI cure for deafness. Trump’s latest lawfare effort falls flat. A debate on the ethics of designer babies. And much more in today's Front Page.
Hey Josh, if you think that the outrage over Joe Biden's pardons of his family members only lasted as long as it took Trump to pardon the January 6 protesters you must have your head up your ass! I, for one, am still pissed about Biden's "blanket pardons" of his cohorts for any and all unspecified crimes that they may have conceivably committed. The fact that you make a biased reference to such in a post about Netanyahu is evidence of how screwed up TFP has become under the new ownership. Never miss a chance to take a swing at Trump, even if it has no relevance to the issue that you are purporting to address!
Well, hey, I noticed that there was a film coming out called "Palestine 36", in which, of course, Jews are the devil. What I was most interested in was that the famous actor Jeremy Irons of Brideshead fame was in it. Boycott the fuck out of him please.
From the NYT, the Hegseth story is fake news. Who would have thought it?
"According to five U.S. officials, who spoke separately and on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter that is under investigation, Mr. Hegseth, ahead of the Sept. 2 attack, ordered a strike that would kill the people on the boat and destroy the vessel and its purported cargo of drugs.
But, each official said, Mr. Hegseth’s directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things. And, the officials said, his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast.
Admiral Bradley ordered the initial missile strike and then several follow-up strikes that killed the initial survivors and sank the disabled boat. As that operation unfolded, they said, Mr. Hegseth did not give any further orders to him."
Here’s a general question for TFP: Am I seeing all of the comments that are generated for the daily update or are the algorithms only showing me the ones that I’m attracted to? Is there another universe who sees only the other side of comments?
An interesting question. I suspect we're seeing them all. 89 total comments (and mine will make it 90) at the time I'm writing this. I think TFP's further left of center readers avoid the comments.
What was it called when Democrats tried to jail the President? Something like "accountablility"? Or "equal justice under the law"? Something like that.
But TFP, and the rest of MSM, calls Trump's actions "lawfare". Yep. That's why I read "Coffee & Covid" after TFP, to cleanse my journalistic palate of the shit I've been reading...
Marlene. I usually would not respond to such arrogance, assumptions and rudeness as you display. But, as I said, if you weren't such a seemingly bitter person, you'd see that I clearly stated, "PS. And, no, it makes no difference if Biden, etc have done it; wrong is wrong."
Peter, Did you complain about Biden. No. Actually I am not bitter I leave that to your cat lady friends. Get a life and help for your TDS. Have a good day. Bless your Heart 🤣
Trump was correct to pardon the protesters of Jan. 6. They had every right and duty to protest an election that still has unanswered questions. There is no way 1500 of them deserved prison.
A very random thought, but when referring to a murderer caught on film or with massive evidence of guilt, why do we always have to say ‘alleged’. For liability?
Some evidence is so clear there is no doubt. Neither the public nor journalists are under the same obligations as the judicial system.
Sometimes someone is just so obviously guilty it seems foolish to say ‘alleged’ killer.
Yes, it's quite ridiculous, at least in a practical real-world sense.
But, in a world of hyper-technical defenses and unlimited appeals pursued by criminal defense attorneys, I can live with the irritation of seeing an obviously guilty person referred to as 'alleged,' if only to strike from the defense menu one of the defense arguments.
I.e., arguing that the jury pool was 'tainted' by the constant media reference to the (obvious) criminal as a murderer, rapist, pedophile, etc. as if it has been already been found so by a jury of peers.
I appreciate the need in our system as a check on prosecutorial/law enforcement misconduct but... I could never have been a criminal defense attorney.
They need a better word, particularly for these cases where it is right on camera or the person was caught in the act (like the stabbing of Rushdie), and the defense is not going to be that the attacker didn’t do it but that they were innocent by reason of insanity etc.
Liability surely has something to do with it, but the main thing is that the alleged murderer is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and the proving happens in court.
But a member of the public could still be sued for slander in the (unlikely, I hope) event that he is found not guilty. So in that sense it’s indeed a liability issue. But following that principle is also a vote of confidence in our system; I choose to do it.
"When Joe Biden pardoned members of his family just before leaving office, the outrage lasted only as long as it took for Trump to pardon hundreds of people for their actions on January 6."
Excuse me? That's your opener? Not just an insult to everyone outside of your echo chamber, but a profound misunderstanding of the difference between blanket pardons for crimes not yet discovered over periods of years and pardons for people who had already been convicted of something specific. No, the issue did not go away for anyone paying attention.
Between the slanted headline and that opener, I don't need to read the rest to know it's just more leftist crap born from drinks in a bougie New York bar.
Even Nellie has clearly left the FP building, as while it may be her name at the top of TGIF, it is no longer her voice. Like others, I'm only here now for the comments, and I won't be renewing my subscription. So far from the Common Sense days. It was good while it lasted.
You mean like the Hegseth story -- "if true, it's murder" when there were absolutely no named sources and the commander was named? That's a different point of view?
You are entitled to your opinion. I like different views but take note when only one side is constantly presented. I noted a lack of reporting on Biden administration corruption and total lawfare on Trump. I always considered myself a liberal Democrat but my party left me behind in their leftward push towards socialism.

Please start following the Muslim invasion of America through the building of religious schools.
Their biggest offensive weapon will be the Federal
Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act 2000.
Look it up.
When will they deal with the Muslim killing Christians all over the world

The comments today were more enlightening than the Free Press content, which seems to be getting weaker every day.
It’s turning into a shallow magazine you buy on the newsstand . It rarely inspires critical thinking anymore
"Lawfare".
What was it called when Democrats tried to jail the President? Something like "accountablility"? Or "equal justice under the law"? Something like that.
But TFP, and the rest of MSM, calls Trump's actions "lawfare". Yep. That's why I read "Coffee & Covid" after TFP, to cleanse my journalistic palate of the shit I've been reading...
“For a man who calls himself ‘tough on crime,’ prosecuting actual criminals seems awfully low on the president’s list of priorities,”
In fact, he's pretty good and letting convicted felons/criminals out of jail!
PS. And, no, it makes no difference if Biden, etc have done it; wrong is wrong.
Did you complain of Biden’s administration abuses? I just guessing NOT. Those abuses had me quit Democratic party. Wake up .

We simply disagree.
Yes, because you are wrong.
Peter has severe TDS
If we didn't take those surviving drug runners out, the sharks would have. We did them a favor.
Or, we could pick them up and interrogate them about their organization and its operations.
Good point.

Exactly what I thought when I read "alleged" to describe Mangione.
I totally agree.
They need a better word, particularly for these cases where it is right on camera or the person was caught in the act (like the stabbing of Rushdie), and the defense is not going to be that the attacker didn’t do it but that they were innocent by reason of insanity etc.
Liability surely has something to do with it, but the main thing is that the alleged murderer is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and the proving happens in court.
It’s stupid. Pure stupidity. Especially when he is caught red handed.
The court is under the obligation of innocent until proven guilty: the public is not.
But a member of the public could still be sued for slander in the (unlikely, I hope) event that he is found not guilty. So in that sense it’s indeed a liability issue. But following that principle is also a vote of confidence in our system; I choose to do it.
When Jack Ruby shot Oswald in front of folks, what word did they use in the newspapers?
Don’t remember. Do you? But it’s also true that we are more litigious now.

Very true. FP is becoming a left wing echo chamber. No more back and forth.
I disagree. I think the right wing is just pissed when TFP includes pieces from different points of view, which is supposedly their mission.

Same.
