No mention of the fact that Hilary Cass of the Cass Report gave her first US interview in Boston yesterday. Shameful, since TFree Oress was at the forefront of breaking the transing of minors scandal by publishing the whistleblowers! Why did TFP back off this huge important story when maximal public pressure is needed to force the government to stop this industry that sterilizes kids?.
Two days in a row about RFK’s brain it was a non story the first time
Biden betrayed Israel in a public and despicable manner.Congress passed the aid bill ( that Biden tied Ukraine aid to Israel aid as the only way to force Congress to give more aid to Ukraine), then he withholds the weapons to ally Israel who is facing terrorist existential threats on every border???The anti Israel power ppl in this White House is calling the shots.
Thanks for pointing out the Hillary Cass interview. I totally missed it and just downloaded it to watch later.
Why is TFP giving us Tom Brady's roast (sorry, and you can call me Karen, but I do not equate vulgarity with fun!) and Lonely Hearts to the exclusion of major, important news stories such as Disa has pointed out.
And yes, I know I can scroll past the fluff I have no interest in...but there comes a point where I am scrolling past half the content and have to realize that TFP is no longer what I thought it intended to be.
At this point I think we all need to come to terms with this. A fair chunk of TFP is the gossip section. Suzie and Nellie both seem to like to focus on it. Nellie in particularly takes even serious stories and makes them more like gossip. I think it is just the tone they have decided on.
When I became a paid subscriber there was less of the fluff/gossip. This recent shift is not something with which I want to "come to terms". Heading for the exit is something I would prefer not to do---the comments section is almost worth the price of admission!---but I am receiving less return on my investment. And that is no small thing...
In the article about the KKK son. TFP said, "Former KKK poster boy and son of a former Grand Wizard has whipped off his white hood to reveal that THEY are now transgender."
Has TFP embraced to the PC/Woke gender neutral, grammatically incorrect use of pronouns just to suck up to the insane left?
That TFP would cave to this insanity not only disappointed me, it really shocked me. If you have male genitalia you are a man and no matter what shade of lipstick you put on, you are still a man and always will be one.
I have said in the past, what consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business but they do not have the right to force me to use goofy pronouns.
Okay, so what is wrong with the fp showing deference to this person? Do you have any idea how hard it must have been for them to transition? I grew up in a very conservative Christian family, and while they are far from the KKK, it was really hard. I lost all support from them. I could not imagine how hard that was for them. Do you think I need you to remind me that I was born a biological man? What do you get out of refusing to call them by they? What do you get out of pointing out that I am a biological man for that matter?
Ava, I am sympathetic to you. It is just me. I can't bring myself you use they or them. It grates on me. If we were having a beer together, I would be more than happy to call you she.
I cannot begin to imagine how hard this has been for you. I would treat you with respect and never denigrate you, but I won't call you they.
Yes, agreed! I almost canceled my paid subscription the moment I read this.
I think Suzy *might* have been intending to use the language sarcastically, but if so it didn't land. Just use correct sex-based pronouns, always. Thank you.
Gotta be careful with the “almost cancelled my paid subscription…” approach. It sounds like the church ladies who could be counted on to send letters to the editor of Sports Illustrated every year when the Swimsuit Edition came out.
Honestly, the Brady roast, with old school comedy (that was not long ago a cause for being cancelled) plus the frat boys defending our flag, are the only things giving me hope this country may make it.
The Democratic Party Rehabilitation Project (aka The Free Press) needs to reign in their critiques... No matter they write or report on, make not mistake, they are united in their belief that Biden MUST win against Trump. Nothing else will matter.
I do indeed, and I've always thought that Sergei Lavrov's humiliating putdown of her for labeling it with the wrong Russian word -- an international embarrassment she never recovered from -- was a big factor in her decision to confect the Russian collusion scam.
It won't matter. The Free Press cares about ONE thing: abortion. If babies can be killed in the womb, then they are for whoever will push that agenda. The Left is a death-cult. Nothing less.
He’s only going full anti-Israel to get the young vote. Once he gets in for his second term, he’ll windsock…and also prolly go back to showering with his daughter.
I can’t let this go. We deserve an explanation as to why Bari backed away from this important story. It’s crucial for more than one reason.
1- protecting these very troubled kids from sterilization and butchery
2- Revealing how ruthless the WOKE ideologues are, that lie and use and harm anyone to further their insanity.
3- Reveal how medical schools and the American medical associations are already captured by DEI WOKE. It is lowering the bar for excellence in Medicine for the racist goal of “ equity of outcomes”
Also the insanity of the Chicago Teachers' Union demanding more money for training in gender indoctrination in their schools. Is no-one paying attention to what is going on in the UK, where a lot of this idiocy is being slowly walked back?
Not just Chicago! Nonsensical "Gender Identity" dogma is being pushed by national and local teachers unions and has been forced into state educational laws like this one in Massachusetts which includes the "assigned at birth" fiction:
Yes! At this point we have to get it out of laws first because schools are required to provide these trainings in many states. It's like Title IX, they sneak the ideology in with other things, pork barrel style. It's a travesty.
Maybe they are working on an interview with her? I listened to it this morning and it was quite good. She laid out her framework for the analysis very well, and was good at making space for those that have transitioned and supporting the idea that the report does not mean that no one should transition, but that in youth it should be highly scrutinized.
Could be pressure. Could simply be not enough bandwidth. Bari is very focused on Jewish related issues, which doesn't leave as much time for other stories, currently.
Disa, I agree. I can understand avoiding Hunter Biden and true coverage of the Trump trial, given the general TDS which infects the staff. But why abandon the fight to save children from mutilation? She cared before. What can justify her silence now?
Is TFP being pressured to stay silent or have they made the decision to back away from issues that could prevent growth within their preferred audience, which appears to be coastal, urban liberals?
I think it's because many other news sources have picked up the ball and run with it now. It's not longer cutting edge. They can't be the first to break the scoop. So they move on?
Clearly you have failed to understand that The Free Press wants to be an Internet version of Pople magazine. Ligh/t, airy, not much substance and very, very few controversial things.
It is an odd omission that TFP has been silent on the trans issues since being on the forefront of it last year. It seems a similar situation to when Bari was one of the first to break the Twitter Files only to then stop and distance herself from it.
Perhapes TFP has chosen to "play nice" on certain issues so they don't get in the way of TFP becoming the lifestyle magazine for coastal urbanites? They won't publish anything that could scare that audience away.
The Tablet’s account of the network of dark, subversive domestic terrorist groups bankrolling campus protests deserves a Pulitzer. Instead The NY Slimes gets the trophy for its myriad stories on Oct 7, a submission that inexplicably omitted its strongest piece on Hamas’s use of rape as a weapon of terror.
Here are two excerpts from the Tablet story:
“Climate Justice Alliance (CJA), an umbrella group for more than 80 “community organizations,” including the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, which organized an illegal anti-Israel protest in the Capitol Rotunda in December at which more than 50 activists…”
“Many of the professional agitators involved in lawbreaking are quite literally on the payroll of big-city political machines, or provide important services such as get-out-the-vote organizing and phone banking during low-turnout Democratic primaries…”
Two paragraphs into the piece, all I could think was “RICO.” I won’t hold my breath. Why did/does the FBI tell the world right-wing extremists are our greatest domestic threat? Why did/does Justice so doggedly pursue 1/6 “insurrectionists”? Why has Fanni Willis thrown RICO at Trump? One can only surmise they’re easy targets. To go after the real terrorists is to go after their own peeps and ultimately lead to the collapse of the entire Democrat machine.
This is the best comment I've read in a long time. Exactly - why does the left persecute their political enemies but not live by the same rules? This double standard underpins EVERYTHING that is going wrong in our country today.
I guess what I’m saying is we’re in a revolutionary Jacobin period, kind of a Reign of Terror.
We’re in bad shape in every category. And I think, whether we like it, I know there’s a lot of Never-Trumpers out there, but whatever problem they have with Trump’s temperament, it just pales in comparison with the ideological revolutionaries that are in there now … .
I think enough people see the damage Joepedo has done, but as he said "democracy is in place"; hopefully Trumps victory will be big enough that even the dems cheating won't be able to overcome.
We all need to stop being so timid. Don’t second guess your opinions if they’re supported with evidence, if not actual fact.
Then we need to show up - at the meetings and polls. Use public comment periods (see point above). Don’t just vote. Devote your day on the first Tuesday in November to being a poll watcher or monitor.
One more thing, get your firearms license. And the firearm.
I’d love to hear from others, because we must act. This is frightening.
Joe Biden said in a CNN interview Wednesday that if Israel invades Rafah “I’m not supplying the weapons.”
——-
What a guy. But didn’t congress just vote to give Israel aid? And didn’t Joey just give a pro Jewish speech at the Holocaust Museum? And hasn’t he whined about indiscriminate killings? Yet now he’s withholding precision bombs?
Jews, Joey says you’re fair game. He sides with the Hamaszis. Maybe it’s time to realize he really really doesn’t like you
Not surprised by Bowman. Watched him at the hearing on antisemitism yesterday and it was all he could do to run interference for those who want to commit genocide against Israel. In his book its Islamophobic (meaning needs to be banned) to question the misogyny surrounding the hijab, but it's ok to call for ethnic cleansing of Jews. Oh and he hates the act defining antisemitism because it actually defines antisemitism...(but then Schumer has tabled the legislation because it might offend the antisemites of the DNC)...And Bowman wonders why in Westchester county he is 19 points behind Latimer. The scary thing is that he still has people voting for him.
Biden has never actually been a friend of Israel. This is not the first time he threatened Israel to withhold aid only this is the only time he has the power to do so , if Congress doesn't step in.
Maybe someone should remind Biden of what Begin said when he threatened to cut off aid to Israel:
"Don't threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles, I'm not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid."
All the pablum that Biden said about the Holcaoust means jackshit if he tries to keep Hamas alive. Yeah, the Left loves dead Jews, it's the living ones, the ones who fight back that are hated.
Think of it. Biden wants to keep alive Islamist barbarians whose target in the long run is actually the destruction of the US, who sides with the axis of evil (Russia, China, Iran). Does he think that they won't try October 7th here if they get the chance? Whether you care about Israel or not, Biden is saving an enemy sworn to destroy the US. How is that living up to his oath of office?
Nope. It works on your comment first try. On EKB's it seems to single me out--"you are blocked". I don't buy the glitch theory. I'd rather be personally offended
People have the ability to block comments from someone. I have no idea if you’ve interacted w the commenter before. Just an FYI. I blocked someone once. Not on the FP but from any comment on all of Substack that this person (troll) would make on me.
Using you as an example, if I click on your name from this post I’m responding to (or any post you have made) that takes me to your user profile. On your profile page there’s your name, any description of yourself you’ve provided, and below that the words “Follow”, “Message”, and then a square with 3 dots inside. If you click on the 3 dots, a drop down menu gives me, for example, several options on how to deal with you. I can mute you, report you, block you, etc.
If I hit “block” a message to me appears telling me that if I block you, you will no longer be allowed to respond to anything I post and you won’t be allowed to mention me in anything you post. Then it asks me if I still want to block you.
Fun fact: if you want to stop someone from “following” you, just block them for about a minute, then unblock them. The blocking removes them from your “followers” but unblocking them doesn’t restore them as a “follower”. Do it fast enough and they’ll never know you removed them as a follower. They may eventually figure it out, but then just wash, rinse, and repeat.
If you mute him, you will never see what he writes. I haven’t muted anyone in TFP, but in the WSJ, when someone you’ve muted posts, all you see is “This user has been muted”. You see that someone has posted something, but not who or what. Just fyi.
I thought you actually wanted to know how to block someone. My mistake. And fwiw, it only takes a few seconds to figure this out. Based on the comments, Lynne, EKB and others have blocked people.
I don't care to acquire skills I don't need. I don't have to block someone to ignore them. And FWIW, it may take you a few seconds to master a computer skill; takes me a week and a couple bottles of whiskey
Байден никогда не был другом Израиля. Сейчас он превращается в смертельного врага. Хватит ли у Израиля стойкости и сил выстоять? Руками Б. исполняются желания Б.О.не дать победить Хамас и признать арабское государство.
Translation: "Biden has never been a friend of Israel. Now he is turning into a mortal enemy. Will Israel have the stamina and strength to endure? With the hands of B., B.O.’s desires are fulfilled to prevent Hamas from being defeated and to recognize the Arab state."
EKB, excellent post! In my opinion, for what it’s worth, Biden isn’t the least bit concerned America will be “targeted next!” He and his Elite Handlers must believe supporting Iran + the Muslims + the anti America Terrorist will protect them!
If at any time, someone responded nastily or rudely or condescendingly to one of my comments on TFP I block them. I have come to the point in my life that I have no patience for those that can't have a civil conversation.
Also if anyone uses a word similar to the word "Liberal" conjoined with the "r" word I block them. I have 2 autistic sons. I will not abide ableism. Just as I won't abide antisemitism, or any kind of dehumanization of anyone.
It doesn't mean they can't comment, but it means I don't have to see it or know that they commented that's all.
If you block someone they can’t interact with your posts and they can’t mention you in their posts. Interact means both responding to or liking. You hit the block button and all of the above happens. It’s not a menu.
Big fan of the follow ups. NPR, Boeing, and Columbia represent case studies of formerly “elite” institutions imploding from demoralization. Sadly, they will cause more physical and mental harm until the rot is stopped.
Commissar Maher believes she is above the law. Will she face any consequences for endangering our democracy by ignoring the citizens and representatives that fund her cushy salary? Not holding my breath, especially if she is protected by the 3-letter agencies who are likely her real masters.
Yes others have but it is meaningless as there is no consequence unless the DoJ will act. And the DoJ only acts against the only unprotected class in existence at this time.
Uri Berliner’s piece was a well written story that needed to be publicized. But people should realize that it is the viewpoint of one individual. Many employees and former employees have commented on this piece with most both backing some aspects of Berliner’s piece while criticizing others. Having publicized the original piece, and keeping us informed of the House’s summoning of Maher to testify and her not showing up, TFP has been silent about the views of others atr NPR. Why? TPF stated that NPR said Maher didn’t show up due to a previously scheduled Board meeting - and let it hang there as if it were bogus. Well was there a Board meeting? That should be an easily verified and factual matter. Why didn’t TPF verify this? If there was such a meeting, then Maher and NPR should have told the House to reschedule. Did they?
The Berliner piece was what made me subscribe to TPF. Their Mission Statement is why I became a paid subscriber. After a couple of weeks of reading I have a sinking feeling that the Mission Statement pure marketing BS.
TFP is basically Tablet/NYT/People. Other than the expose on the gender transition of teens and the NPR piece, there’s nothing here you can’t get elsewhere. If you want a source that covers the ballpark, I suggest Apple News Plus. Subscribe to that and you can access a super wide variety of newspapers and magazines. I’ve already cancelled my TFP subscription. Can’t get a refund, but it runs out this summer. Not coming back.
Hold on. The Tablet article merits only a link???? It is an indictment of the DNC and the leftist donor class in America. The very people the FP has worshipped. They are all in thrall to malign foreign interests. Including Soros. Where is the FBI? Where is the media? Nowhere. Why? Because they all share the same goal of destabilizing and destroying the United States as we know it. Get your collective heads out of your asses. You may not like Trump but he's the only hope we have to save America from these traitors.
You know who else you won't see reporting on it? Greenwald, Taibbi, and all the other left-leaning journalists who typically work to expose exactly these sorts of complicated, hidden relationships.
Update - NPR is still useless, money sucking, woke enterprise that should be allowed to die off from the internal rot. Oh, in case you don't know, I dislike them.
Boeing - Run by money grubbing idiots who obviously think destroying what was a well respected and reliable American Corp to become Air Sudan in quality. Everyone of the cost cutting, short cut board and supervision should be fired and the old Boeing brought back.
Columbia - The place where janitors are more intelligent and likeable than the faculty and students. Maybe the fired Boeing folks could run Columbia and then issue is fixed.
Who is behind the mass of green tents? The same folks behind letting criminals walk and supporting elected idiots like the Squad. Where they could not pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel but are easy to control by the Dark Money. If the Catholics and Mom's weren't so dangerous, maybe the FBI could look into it. But them I assume it's MAGA did it. Right Nellie?
Joe really thinks he providing weapons. His idea of a weapon is "PULL MY FINGER". Bowman, yeah our elected officials. God we need term limits.
Cicadas, earth quakes, storms, the View's definition of Global Warming. Run and hide for fear.
Tom Brady roast. Glad it was considered so raunchy and rude. Probably came from the curriculum from Columbia protesters study guide. Laugh and have fun and to hell with the naysayers.
I find the celebrity obsession tedious and dumb, and doubt that Suzy would take kindly to similar insults thrown her way. I often find my respect for some people decreases when I learn they enjoy the stupidest sorts of entertainment...
My report on what’s behind Biden’s betrayal of Israel.
Biden is fed propaganda by National Security CouncilDirector for Intelligence, Maher Bitar, Palestinian American who was President of SJP and UNRWA employee( Hamas affiliated organizations). Bitar hid Biden’s betrayal for a few days to monitor IDF activity in Rafa and to allow Biden to give a Holocaust Day speech..
The NSC Chief of Intelligence post is a sensitive position usually held by a CIA officer. Bitar is not an intelligence person, rather an anti Israel political activist. As a student at Georgetownhe led the Muslim Brotherhood aligned group, Students For Justice in Palestine organizing BDS campaigns against Israel. He led a panel that discussed how to indoctrinate Christians to believe that Israel has no right to exist.
Bitar served in the Obama administration and now holds this very sensitive position. This explains who is in charge of the Executive Branch.
Obama and everyone in his cabinet was and is an anti semitw hate Israel fanboy. It's amazing how the media treated Obama with white gloves and still do. Utterly amazing. if they know they just ignore it. Then yoh have people like Bari who are just shocked by all the anti semitism that's going on.
I'm as happy as a pig in shit that everything is coming to light. This is all coming out in the open now. You can't hide it anymore. The college protests peeled back another layer of the rotten onion that Obama is at the core of.
Can you smell it yet Bari? Will you investigate it Bari???
JJoshua, I hear you, but “if only!”what you stated were true!
There are millions of hardworking Americans, raising families who are totally not keeping up with what’s taking place, right under our noses! They are living their lives, expecting the politicians (they keep reelecting!) to take care of them / the country.
I don’t say this to disparage them! But those of us who can pay to support these news type podcast, we who pay close attention + do our research, we are unlike
those folks trying to make ends meet. They don’t “smell the rot,” like we do.
What stinks to them is that they can’t stretch a dollar like they once could! And all the hopes & dreams they had for the 2020 Presidential election were dashed!
Most of those tax paying, middle Americans literally get their media news, 30 minutes worth, after their work day & before supper, from their local news stations = ABC, CBS, NBC = owned & influenced by the MSM WOKE Propagandist for the Democrat & RINO party elites.
They watch the weather forecast, who won the latest football game, who retired from the local bank, and who past away. And, a bit about foreign Wars, but with the typical Left Leaning slant!
Of course, they get to see how Trump is a sleaze bag, losing, deservedly so, in another of his sex scandal cases! From 18 years ago, but ignore those minor details, because “Orange Man Bad!”
Ironically, no one remembers about Bill Clinton and his sex scandals WHILE HE WAS President, as well as HIS rape cases! But the Democrats screeched “THAT isn’t relevant, and it’s private btw Bill & Hillary!” Oprah agreed!
Yes, everyone has access to and is on Social Media, but SO many people look at Facebook to see where their friends are wanting to vacation, and to post photos of what they had for lunch!
The only reason I tend to believe so many folks are apathetic isn’t because they are uninformed. ALL the J6 bullshit has many of them terrified to speak out, except among themselves.
I had hoped in 2015 & 2016, when we all saw Trump’s huge rallies, that Americans were “waking up!”
By 2020, Biden became “The most popular president EVER elected in the history of America” and he didn’t even have to campaign!
I pray we don’t have a 2020 repeat! The “stench” is nauseating!
The city of Malmo Sweden is hosting Eurovision. Eden Golan, a young Israeli superstar is a top contender. She was warned by Israeli intelligence not to leave her hotel alone. Now thousands of islamists are getting ready to riot in Malmo because a Jewish woman is going to sing. Sweden would make Hitler proud.
I read an article thr another day about Sweden is falling into thr abyss with its 2 million (newcomers) and only has about 20 years or so to continue to be Sweden.
But we were reading stories about the rapes and the murders and the bullying decades ago and they still let the other in.
Any country that allows Muslim immigration at scale is signing its own eventual death warrant, because these uncivilized fanatics will be aided and abetted by the leftists/progressives to destroy the host. The UK, Australia and Canada are falling in real time.
I’m not sure where the quote comes from but it rings true. “ Muslims are very interested in civil rights when in the minority. When they are the majority, not so much.”
The campus protesters would say, they are not going to riot in Malmo because she’s Jewish. It’s because she’s a Zionist. Why can’t all us geezers understand the difference? So the riot is an acceptable act of resistance; it’s not at all antisemitic. And if we don’t see it that way, we’re obviously Islamaphobic.
The Tablet article is a truly scary labyrinthian journey charting the flow leftist money. Lots of green-eye-shade stuff but vitally important for understanding where we are.
It is. The big money behind the upheavals is very powerful. I’m still having a hard time reconciling why anarchy is good for the elites. Keep the masses divided so we stay in power?
I have come to believe that their enemy is Nationalism, at least in the western world. Thus all the powerful global organizations, Davos, WEC, the World Bank, et cetera., have strong ties with the enforcer deep state here and in Europe. Fomenting discord, fractionating the populace is a key tool. Regardless of the merits of Climatism, because the climate is global, it's a perfect mechanism for coercing transnational behavior. The goal is Power, a small immensely wealthy elite with unlimited economic power over everybody. They need to control the narrative everywhere, and thus criminalize dissent. Russia, China and India are greatly more difficult to dominate so far. My $0.02.
Book recommendation if you want to make sense of why a bunch of NGOs would be funding pro-Hamas students: *The Populist Delusion* by Neema Parvini. The basic premise of the book is that there's no such thing as a "grassroots" movement; humans are generally too unorganized. There needs to be elites to organize and fund them. Well-spoken, charismatic, and connected people who direct the large masses and tell them where to go and what to do.
As for exactly why these leftist organizations would be so much against Israel, it could be as simple as "settler colonial state," or there could be more interesting geopolitical questions behind it. Or some might just want to destabilize America.
No, the hate encompasses Jews, Whites, "White adjacent" ( which can include Black conservatives, as well as Asians or any other group deemed potential colonialists or successful). Oddly, Israel is the only Mideast country that comes anywhere close to the freedom and equality we see in the US. Meanwhile, Hamas is oppressive over their own people, particularly women, children and God forbid Gay people. These idiots can't even get their "oppression" narrative straight.
It's none of those. The Jews instituted an ultimate authority, and it's not Obama, Henry VIII, Caesar, or even Moses. I'll find out if they got it right, pretty soon now.
Oh dear Lord that video is hysterical. I lost it at the attempt to do a double leg takedown. Boys, I'm telling you - don't try get into a fight. It's not going to go well for you.
(I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I really wonder about what's causing the lack of testosterone in today's young "men.")
Interesting and mildly amusing but how about some investigative reporting and analysis of your own on who or what organization is funding these "spontaneous" campus "protests." Maybe you'll find the very people you like are not really your friends. Follow the money and you'll find the people working to destabilize our country. When you shine the light, the cockroaches scatter.
Yes, Disa. Just infuriating. The Tablet article shouldn't be a link. It should be the headline. The DNC is behind this insanity. If one claims to be a "moderate" one can no longer claim to be a "moderate Democrat." That scam is done.
No mention of the fact that Hilary Cass of the Cass Report gave her first US interview in Boston yesterday. Shameful, since TFree Oress was at the forefront of breaking the transing of minors scandal by publishing the whistleblowers!

Two days in a row about RFK’s brain it was a non story the first time

The US can’t be trusted
The US government can't be trusted. Because it is run by the DNC and its operatives in the Deep State.
Thanks for pointing out the Hillary Cass interview. I totally missed it and just downloaded it to watch later.
Why is TFP giving us Tom Brady's roast (sorry, and you can call me Karen, but I do not equate vulgarity with fun!) and Lonely Hearts to the exclusion of major, important news stories such as Disa has pointed out.
And yes, I know I can scroll past the fluff I have no interest in...but there comes a point where I am scrolling past half the content and have to realize that TFP is no longer what I thought it intended to be.
It is becoming more and more like the Lifestyle section of newspapers of old.
At this point I think we all need to come to terms with this. A fair chunk of TFP is the gossip section. Suzie and Nellie both seem to like to focus on it. Nellie in particularly takes even serious stories and makes them more like gossip. I think it is just the tone they have decided on.
When I became a paid subscriber there was less of the fluff/gossip. This recent shift is not something with which I want to "come to terms". Heading for the exit is something I would prefer not to do---the comments section is almost worth the price of admission!---but I am receiving less return on my investment. And that is no small thing...
In the article about the KKK son. TFP said, "Former KKK poster boy and son of a former Grand Wizard has whipped off his white hood to reveal that THEY are now transgender."
Has TFP embraced to the PC/Woke gender neutral, grammatically incorrect use of pronouns just to suck up to the insane left?
That TFP would cave to this insanity not only disappointed me, it really shocked me. If you have male genitalia you are a man and no matter what shade of lipstick you put on, you are still a man and always will be one.
I have said in the past, what consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business but they do not have the right to force me to use goofy pronouns.
I disagree polecat. There is nothing wrong with giving someone respect and addressing them in the way they prefer. Would you call me a man?
Biologically you are a man. If you want, In deference to you, I will call you she but I will not call you they.
Okay, so what is wrong with the fp showing deference to this person? Do you have any idea how hard it must have been for them to transition? I grew up in a very conservative Christian family, and while they are far from the KKK, it was really hard. I lost all support from them. I could not imagine how hard that was for them. Do you think I need you to remind me that I was born a biological man? What do you get out of refusing to call them by they? What do you get out of pointing out that I am a biological man for that matter?
Ava, I am sympathetic to you. It is just me. I can't bring myself you use they or them. It grates on me. If we were having a beer together, I would be more than happy to call you she.
I cannot begin to imagine how hard this has been for you. I would treat you with respect and never denigrate you, but I won't call you they.
Yes, agreed! I almost canceled my paid subscription the moment I read this.
I think Suzy *might* have been intending to use the language sarcastically, but if so it didn't land. Just use correct sex-based pronouns, always. Thank you.
I hadn't thought she might be sarcastic. Hmmm?
Gotta be careful with the “almost cancelled my paid subscription…” approach. It sounds like the church ladies who could be counted on to send letters to the editor of Sports Illustrated every year when the Swimsuit Edition came out.
Fun fact: the last couple swimsuit editions included trannies. Other fun fact: SI went broke.
Not because of that.
…and, if they’re such great writers, why did TFP not catch the use of two different pronouns in one sentence to refer to the same person? Sheesh… 😂
Everybody makes mistakes, even the best of writers.
Yes. Scrolling through much of it
Karen
lol!
That's me!
Honestly, the Brady roast, with old school comedy (that was not long ago a cause for being cancelled) plus the frat boys defending our flag, are the only things giving me hope this country may make it.
Remember - the Constitution said, “”We, the People, …” , not “Oui, the peephole”!
The Democratic Party Rehabilitation Project (aka The Free Press) needs to reign in their critiques... No matter they write or report on, make not mistake, they are united in their belief that Biden MUST win against Trump. Nothing else will matter.
I wonder if the staff at TFP realizes that if Biden wins, his lame-duck status will allow him to go full anti-Israel?
“Tell Hamas I will have more flexibility”
That was exactly my thought.
Smart.
Thanks, Mark. Always good to remind the Left what slavish Putin toadies Obama and his lackey Biden were when it suited them.
Remember Hillary and her cheesy reset button?
I do indeed, and I've always thought that Sergei Lavrov's humiliating putdown of her for labeling it with the wrong Russian word -- an international embarrassment she never recovered from -- was a big factor in her decision to confect the Russian collusion scam.
Thanks, Mark. Always good to remind the Left what slavish Putin toadies Obama and his lackey Biden were when it suited them.
It won't matter. The Free Press cares about ONE thing: abortion. If babies can be killed in the womb, then they are for whoever will push that agenda. The Left is a death-cult. Nothing less.
I truly believe he’s non compos mentis, but the anti-Semitic Obama surrogates who his run administration will be gleeful.
10 bucks says they think Biden is still on their side.
Excellent point and so true.
Lol. Biden is the most pro-Zionist POTUS ever.

That’s a joke
As Biden would say “Not a joke”. Stupidity yes.

Sorry. Reality. Which is not popular on The Free Press.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/i-am-zionist-how-joe-bidens-lifelong-bond-with-israel-shapes-war-policy-2023-10-21/
Joe Biden should stop running Israel’s war. He’s a doofus and not very bright or perceptive.
I don't think the FTP cares what happens. It may affect their pocketbook.
If Biden is re-elected, Israel will get everything it wants. As it always has. He’s only posturing for the sake of the election
He’s only going full anti-Israel to get the young vote. Once he gets in for his second term, he’ll windsock…and also prolly go back to showering with his daughter.
You do realize that's he's not actually in charge, don't you?
The people who ARE actually in charge want to stab Israel in the back.
Full anti whatever
Surely it can’t happen here!
There is no Democratic Party. There are two parties the Democrat and the Republican parties.
There is nothing democratic about the Democrat Party.
Disa sacks: “The Free Press WAS at the forefront” says it all.
I can’t let this go. We deserve an explanation as to why Bari backed away from this important story. It’s crucial for more than one reason.
1- protecting these very troubled kids from sterilization and butchery
2- Revealing how ruthless the WOKE ideologues are, that lie and use and harm anyone to further their insanity.
3- Reveal how medical schools and the American medical associations are already captured by DEI WOKE. It is lowering the bar for excellence in Medicine for the racist goal of “ equity of outcomes”
Who is pressuring TFP to stay silent ?
Also the insanity of the Chicago Teachers' Union demanding more money for training in gender indoctrination in their schools. Is no-one paying attention to what is going on in the UK, where a lot of this idiocy is being slowly walked back?
Not just Chicago! Nonsensical "Gender Identity" dogma is being pushed by national and local teachers unions and has been forced into state educational laws like this one in Massachusetts which includes the "assigned at birth" fiction:
https://www.doe.mass.edu/sfs/lgbtq/GenderIdentity.html
It's utterly ridiculous. We need to get this out of schools.
Yes! At this point we have to get it out of laws first because schools are required to provide these trainings in many states. It's like Title IX, they sneak the ideology in with other things, pork barrel style. It's a travesty.
It's becoming more and more clear that Bari created something she can no longer manage and is now in over her head.
Like many entrepreneurs she has a good idea, launches it, but eventually needs more capable people to take over and bring it to the next level.
Now let's see if she's smart enough to see her shortcomings and let the child she created evolve into something greater than the parent.
Maybe try Townhall an echo chamber where any posters agree on everything.
This is not about disagreeing.....disagreement is healthy for debate.
This is about a columnist running a business. She's never run a business before. She's a newspaper columnist & writer, which she's very good at.
Running a successful is a different kettle of fish.
Maybe they are working on an interview with her? I listened to it this morning and it was quite good. She laid out her framework for the analysis very well, and was good at making space for those that have transitioned and supporting the idea that the report does not mean that no one should transition, but that in youth it should be highly scrutinized.
Bari will get back into the story when the Cass report mentions one of two things:
1. The Jooz, the only atheist "religion" allowed or,
2. Abortion. If some transweirdo could or could not get an abortion. Abortion, abortion abortion.
That's it. Bari's "interests" are limited to those items... and maybe a Chardonnay...
Obama wasn’t the only fool or anti-semite.
Yeah, but I'm trying to go easy on Hillary Cunton and that grifter Michelle this week...
I smell IPO. Can’t tick off possible left leaning money.
Could be pressure. Could simply be not enough bandwidth. Bari is very focused on Jewish related issues, which doesn't leave as much time for other stories, currently.
She has time to organize and host these “ debates” on immigration and crime.
Bari does not do the reporting, she is the editor in chief.
The near total silence( barely a link or a mention of a story she helped break is perplexing.
Disa, Since Bari brought in Oliver Wiesman to “manage?” TFP, the content has definitely changed!
Disa, I agree. I can understand avoiding Hunter Biden and true coverage of the Trump trial, given the general TDS which infects the staff. But why abandon the fight to save children from mutilation? She cared before. What can justify her silence now?
Is TFP being pressured to stay silent or have they made the decision to back away from issues that could prevent growth within their preferred audience, which appears to be coastal, urban liberals?
I think it's because many other news sources have picked up the ball and run with it now. It's not longer cutting edge. They can't be the first to break the scoop. So they move on?
The DEIs probably pressured her.

Disa,
Clearly you have failed to understand that The Free Press wants to be an Internet version of Pople magazine. Ligh/t, airy, not much substance and very, very few controversial things.
It is an odd omission that TFP has been silent on the trans issues since being on the forefront of it last year. It seems a similar situation to when Bari was one of the first to break the Twitter Files only to then stop and distance herself from it.
Perhapes TFP has chosen to "play nice" on certain issues so they don't get in the way of TFP becoming the lifestyle magazine for coastal urbanites? They won't publish anything that could scare that audience away.
Oct 7th
"Betrayed Israel in public" Lol....
As far as Cass, maybe people are over the ginned-up, moral panic.

Don’t forget, it was Obama’s shameful betrayal of Ukraine in 2014 that set all this in motion. Indeed, the US can’t be trusted.
The Tablet’s account of the network of dark, subversive domestic terrorist groups bankrolling campus protests deserves a Pulitzer. Instead The NY Slimes gets the trophy for its myriad stories on Oct 7, a submission that inexplicably omitted its strongest piece on Hamas’s use of rape as a weapon of terror.
Here are two excerpts from the Tablet story:
“Climate Justice Alliance (CJA), an umbrella group for more than 80 “community organizations,” including the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, which organized an illegal anti-Israel protest in the Capitol Rotunda in December at which more than 50 activists…”
“Many of the professional agitators involved in lawbreaking are quite literally on the payroll of big-city political machines, or provide important services such as get-out-the-vote organizing and phone banking during low-turnout Democratic primaries…”
Two paragraphs into the piece, all I could think was “RICO.” I won’t hold my breath. Why did/does the FBI tell the world right-wing extremists are our greatest domestic threat? Why did/does Justice so doggedly pursue 1/6 “insurrectionists”? Why has Fanni Willis thrown RICO at Trump? One can only surmise they’re easy targets. To go after the real terrorists is to go after their own peeps and ultimately lead to the collapse of the entire Democrat machine.
Faith Ham: AOC says RICO is a category, not a crime. At least when the perp swings left.
Nothing to see here.
To be fair, AOC thinks Rico is just her 8th grade boyfriend....
🤣😂🤣
The DOJ FBI IRS will never investigate this.
This is the best comment I've read in a long time. Exactly - why does the left persecute their political enemies but not live by the same rules? This double standard underpins EVERYTHING that is going wrong in our country today.
Double standard is too benign a term. This is sinister duplicity. No, simply, it’s treason.
From a VDH column I read this morning:
I guess what I’m saying is we’re in a revolutionary Jacobin period, kind of a Reign of Terror.
We’re in bad shape in every category. And I think, whether we like it, I know there’s a lot of Never-Trumpers out there, but whatever problem they have with Trump’s temperament, it just pales in comparison with the ideological revolutionaries that are in there now … .
I think enough people see the damage Joepedo has done, but as he said "democracy is in place"; hopefully Trumps victory will be big enough that even the dems cheating won't be able to overcome.
Because the community organizers are out to fundamentally change our country!
I think RICO is the route to shut this down.
dont forget to share it.. it deserved the Pulitzer. and many many RICOs. good point
Great comment Faith
How do we stop them?
We all need to stop being so timid. Don’t second guess your opinions if they’re supported with evidence, if not actual fact.
Then we need to show up - at the meetings and polls. Use public comment periods (see point above). Don’t just vote. Devote your day on the first Tuesday in November to being a poll watcher or monitor.
One more thing, get your firearms license. And the firearm.
I’d love to hear from others, because we must act. This is frightening.
Park McDougald and team @ The Scroll are top notch reporters.
I had those same thoughts. Where is the Justice Department on this one?
Joe Biden said in a CNN interview Wednesday that if Israel invades Rafah “I’m not supplying the weapons.”
——-
What a guy. But didn’t congress just vote to give Israel aid? And didn’t Joey just give a pro Jewish speech at the Holocaust Museum? And hasn’t he whined about indiscriminate killings? Yet now he’s withholding precision bombs?
Jews, Joey says you’re fair game. He sides with the Hamaszis. Maybe it’s time to realize he really really doesn’t like you
If he's worried about civilian casualties, wouldn't precision bombs be exactly the type of weapons you would want to send? Typical Biden logic.
Yes, but to be fair; Joe only likes money. So he hates everyone.
Joey is a MEAN, OLD, BITTER WHITE MALE but Democrats would never admit that.
You left out senile and stupid…..
True, but those are implied 😊
I would say those are "obvious"
Unwoke, Biden is “playing BOTH sides” bc he / his Handler are desperate to keep BOTH Jewish votes, AND the antisemitic, pro Terrorist protester votes!
He thinks (maybe rightfully so), bc he got the Aid Bill past (tho that was mainly in order to send more
$$$ to Ukraine & less to Israel), THAT scored points for him with the Jews!
Withholding sending weapons to Israel, “unless they stop warring against Hamas,” well, THAT scores him points with the protesters!
Easy peasy! Surely BOTH SIDES will see how “supportive” he is! “No joke!”
I seem to remember an impeachment over delaying weapons to an ally for political reasons. Quaint times.
He gives them everything they ask for, and one time has a little warning shot, and he’s suddenly he’s Judas? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I believe Judas did the same thing.
Not surprised by Bowman. Watched him at the hearing on antisemitism yesterday and it was all he could do to run interference for those who want to commit genocide against Israel. In his book its Islamophobic (meaning needs to be banned) to question the misogyny surrounding the hijab, but it's ok to call for ethnic cleansing of Jews. Oh and he hates the act defining antisemitism because it actually defines antisemitism...(but then Schumer has tabled the legislation because it might offend the antisemites of the DNC)...And Bowman wonders why in Westchester county he is 19 points behind Latimer. The scary thing is that he still has people voting for him.
Biden has never actually been a friend of Israel. This is not the first time he threatened Israel to withhold aid only this is the only time he has the power to do so , if Congress doesn't step in.
Maybe someone should remind Biden of what Begin said when he threatened to cut off aid to Israel:
"Don't threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles, I'm not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid."
All the pablum that Biden said about the Holcaoust means jackshit if he tries to keep Hamas alive. Yeah, the Left loves dead Jews, it's the living ones, the ones who fight back that are hated.
Think of it. Biden wants to keep alive Islamist barbarians whose target in the long run is actually the destruction of the US, who sides with the axis of evil (Russia, China, Iran). Does he think that they won't try October 7th here if they get the chance? Whether you care about Israel or not, Biden is saving an enemy sworn to destroy the US. How is that living up to his oath of office?
Bowman is retarded. There's no getting around that.
Why are "likes" to your comment blocked?
They're probably not. It seems to be a glitch in Substack. Sometimes I have to click more than once to get a like to "take."
Nope. It works on your comment first try. On EKB's it seems to single me out--"you are blocked". I don't buy the glitch theory. I'd rather be personally offended
People have the ability to block comments from someone. I have no idea if you’ve interacted w the commenter before. Just an FYI. I blocked someone once. Not on the FP but from any comment on all of Substack that this person (troll) would make on me.
If you'd rather burn buildings than try clicking again, that's your call. ;-)
It blocks me too. We've been blocked!
Weird, because I was able to like EKB's comment without any problems.
Hey! I tried twice. Then went for the gas can
Agreed, I had no problem clicking it.
How do you even do that? Like-blocking? Never mind the "why"
Using you as an example, if I click on your name from this post I’m responding to (or any post you have made) that takes me to your user profile. On your profile page there’s your name, any description of yourself you’ve provided, and below that the words “Follow”, “Message”, and then a square with 3 dots inside. If you click on the 3 dots, a drop down menu gives me, for example, several options on how to deal with you. I can mute you, report you, block you, etc.
If I hit “block” a message to me appears telling me that if I block you, you will no longer be allowed to respond to anything I post and you won’t be allowed to mention me in anything you post. Then it asks me if I still want to block you.
Fun fact: if you want to stop someone from “following” you, just block them for about a minute, then unblock them. The blocking removes them from your “followers” but unblocking them doesn’t restore them as a “follower”. Do it fast enough and they’ll never know you removed them as a follower. They may eventually figure it out, but then just wash, rinse, and repeat.
Yes! I can block Comprof! Thank you!
If you mute him, you will never see what he writes. I haven’t muted anyone in TFP, but in the WSJ, when someone you’ve muted posts, all you see is “This user has been muted”. You see that someone has posted something, but not who or what. Just fyi.
Perfect!
You have way too much time on your hands
I thought you actually wanted to know how to block someone. My mistake. And fwiw, it only takes a few seconds to figure this out. Based on the comments, Lynne, EKB and others have blocked people.
I don't care to acquire skills I don't need. I don't have to block someone to ignore them. And FWIW, it may take you a few seconds to master a computer skill; takes me a week and a couple bottles of whiskey
Beats me.
Байден никогда не был другом Израиля. Сейчас он превращается в смертельного врага. Хватит ли у Израиля стойкости и сил выстоять? Руками Б. исполняются желания Б.О.не дать победить Хамас и признать арабское государство.
Translation: "Biden has never been a friend of Israel. Now he is turning into a mortal enemy. Will Israel have the stamina and strength to endure? With the hands of B., B.O.’s desires are fulfilled to prevent Hamas from being defeated and to recognize the Arab state."
Thanks for saving me the trouble of google translate.
EKB, excellent post! In my opinion, for what it’s worth, Biden isn’t the least bit concerned America will be “targeted next!” He and his Elite Handlers must believe supporting Iran + the Muslims + the anti America Terrorist will protect them!
Well said. People are discussing being blocked from liking your comment. By chance do YOU have these folks blocked?
Thanks.
If at any time, someone responded nastily or rudely or condescendingly to one of my comments on TFP I block them. I have come to the point in my life that I have no patience for those that can't have a civil conversation.
Also if anyone uses a word similar to the word "Liberal" conjoined with the "r" word I block them. I have 2 autistic sons. I will not abide ableism. Just as I won't abide antisemitism, or any kind of dehumanization of anyone.
It doesn't mean they can't comment, but it means I don't have to see it or know that they commented that's all.
As is your prerogative. I was just curious as to whether or not it was you or TFP so thanks for the response.
Thanks for letting us know.
Yes, thanks. Now I will go "unlike" the like I provided to someone sooooo intolerant.
This tells you all you need to know.
Yes I have no tolerance for those who dehumanize others. I don’t need your like.
Blocked from liking! Ok.
If you block someone they can’t interact with your posts and they can’t mention you in their posts. Interact means both responding to or liking. You hit the block button and all of the above happens. It’s not a menu.
Big fan of the follow ups. NPR, Boeing, and Columbia represent case studies of formerly “elite” institutions imploding from demoralization. Sadly, they will cause more physical and mental harm until the rot is stopped.
Commissar Maher believes she is above the law. Will she face any consequences for endangering our democracy by ignoring the citizens and representatives that fund her cushy salary? Not holding my breath, especially if she is protected by the 3-letter agencies who are likely her real masters.
“Down with Uri Berliner! Down with the rightist counter-revolutionary traitors at The Free Press!” https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/uri-berliner-npr-ceo-redguard-struggle-session
Haven't other people been held in contempt of Congress? Of course, it's highly unlikely that SHE will be. But it IS an option that could be exercised.
Yes others have but it is meaningless as there is no consequence unless the DoJ will act. And the DoJ only acts against the only unprotected class in existence at this time.
Yep. Hunter Biden got off scott-free too. Both he and Maher are walking manifestations of privilege.
Bannon and Navarro got jail time.
For being Trump's campaign managers, not for breaking the law
They are the unprotected class.
Hunter Biden skipped his summon too. They both know they can get away with it as long as Biden's in the WH.
All faux elites believe they are above the law. It is part of their superpower.
They ARE above the law.
Uri Berliner’s piece was a well written story that needed to be publicized. But people should realize that it is the viewpoint of one individual. Many employees and former employees have commented on this piece with most both backing some aspects of Berliner’s piece while criticizing others. Having publicized the original piece, and keeping us informed of the House’s summoning of Maher to testify and her not showing up, TFP has been silent about the views of others atr NPR. Why? TPF stated that NPR said Maher didn’t show up due to a previously scheduled Board meeting - and let it hang there as if it were bogus. Well was there a Board meeting? That should be an easily verified and factual matter. Why didn’t TPF verify this? If there was such a meeting, then Maher and NPR should have told the House to reschedule. Did they?
The Berliner piece was what made me subscribe to TPF. Their Mission Statement is why I became a paid subscriber. After a couple of weeks of reading I have a sinking feeling that the Mission Statement pure marketing BS.
TFP is basically Tablet/NYT/People. Other than the expose on the gender transition of teens and the NPR piece, there’s nothing here you can’t get elsewhere. If you want a source that covers the ballpark, I suggest Apple News Plus. Subscribe to that and you can access a super wide variety of newspapers and magazines. I’ve already cancelled my TFP subscription. Can’t get a refund, but it runs out this summer. Not coming back.
Hold on. The Tablet article merits only a link???? It is an indictment of the DNC and the leftist donor class in America. The very people the FP has worshipped. They are all in thrall to malign foreign interests. Including Soros. Where is the FBI? Where is the media? Nowhere. Why? Because they all share the same goal of destabilizing and destroying the United States as we know it. Get your collective heads out of your asses. You may not like Trump but he's the only hope we have to save America from these traitors.
You know who else you won't see reporting on it? Greenwald, Taibbi, and all the other left-leaning journalists who typically work to expose exactly these sorts of complicated, hidden relationships.
Someone forward it to Rufo.
Where are they? Cowering in fear of a Trump redux. And like all cornered things rendered dangerous thereby.
Bruce, I fear “these traitors” will never allow Trump a 2nd term!
Update - NPR is still useless, money sucking, woke enterprise that should be allowed to die off from the internal rot. Oh, in case you don't know, I dislike them.
Boeing - Run by money grubbing idiots who obviously think destroying what was a well respected and reliable American Corp to become Air Sudan in quality. Everyone of the cost cutting, short cut board and supervision should be fired and the old Boeing brought back.
Columbia - The place where janitors are more intelligent and likeable than the faculty and students. Maybe the fired Boeing folks could run Columbia and then issue is fixed.
Who is behind the mass of green tents? The same folks behind letting criminals walk and supporting elected idiots like the Squad. Where they could not pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel but are easy to control by the Dark Money. If the Catholics and Mom's weren't so dangerous, maybe the FBI could look into it. But them I assume it's MAGA did it. Right Nellie?
Joe really thinks he providing weapons. His idea of a weapon is "PULL MY FINGER". Bowman, yeah our elected officials. God we need term limits.
Cicadas, earth quakes, storms, the View's definition of Global Warming. Run and hide for fear.
Tom Brady roast. Glad it was considered so raunchy and rude. Probably came from the curriculum from Columbia protesters study guide. Laugh and have fun and to hell with the naysayers.
TGIT!
There is more and more space being devoted to FUN, dating, matchmaking, than to seriously reporting on current events and issues of the day.
Today's offering is about the lamest I remember
Not enough meat to feed my brain worm.
Clever! 😊
😁
And the truly frightening part is that Wiseman played no role in it.
For every 1 Uri Berliner exposé, there are 5 vapid pieces like this in TFP. Generally, I know by the by-line what to skip.
TGIT!
Sure Happy Its Thursday

I got it, the 2nd time.
And subscribers, who were lured by the promise of truth and common sense in hard news, are paying for it.
I find the celebrity obsession tedious and dumb, and doubt that Suzy would take kindly to similar insults thrown her way. I often find my respect for some people decreases when I learn they enjoy the stupidest sorts of entertainment...
My report on what’s behind Biden’s betrayal of Israel.
Biden is fed propaganda by National Security CouncilDirector for Intelligence, Maher Bitar, Palestinian American who was President of SJP and UNRWA employee( Hamas affiliated organizations). Bitar hid Biden’s betrayal for a few days to monitor IDF activity in Rafa and to allow Biden to give a Holocaust Day speech..
The NSC Chief of Intelligence post is a sensitive position usually held by a CIA officer. Bitar is not an intelligence person, rather an anti Israel political activist. As a student at Georgetownhe led the Muslim Brotherhood aligned group, Students For Justice in Palestine organizing BDS campaigns against Israel. He led a panel that discussed how to indoctrinate Christians to believe that Israel has no right to exist.
Bitar served in the Obama administration and now holds this very sensitive position. This explains who is in charge of the Executive Branch.
Obama and everyone in his cabinet was and is an anti semitw hate Israel fanboy. It's amazing how the media treated Obama with white gloves and still do. Utterly amazing. if they know they just ignore it. Then yoh have people like Bari who are just shocked by all the anti semitism that's going on.
I'm as happy as a pig in shit that everything is coming to light. This is all coming out in the open now. You can't hide it anymore. The college protests peeled back another layer of the rotten onion that Obama is at the core of.
Can you smell it yet Bari? Will you investigate it Bari???
JJoshua, I hear you, but “if only!”what you stated were true!
There are millions of hardworking Americans, raising families who are totally not keeping up with what’s taking place, right under our noses! They are living their lives, expecting the politicians (they keep reelecting!) to take care of them / the country.
I don’t say this to disparage them! But those of us who can pay to support these news type podcast, we who pay close attention + do our research, we are unlike
those folks trying to make ends meet. They don’t “smell the rot,” like we do.
What stinks to them is that they can’t stretch a dollar like they once could! And all the hopes & dreams they had for the 2020 Presidential election were dashed!
Most of those tax paying, middle Americans literally get their media news, 30 minutes worth, after their work day & before supper, from their local news stations = ABC, CBS, NBC = owned & influenced by the MSM WOKE Propagandist for the Democrat & RINO party elites.
They watch the weather forecast, who won the latest football game, who retired from the local bank, and who past away. And, a bit about foreign Wars, but with the typical Left Leaning slant!
Of course, they get to see how Trump is a sleaze bag, losing, deservedly so, in another of his sex scandal cases! From 18 years ago, but ignore those minor details, because “Orange Man Bad!”
Ironically, no one remembers about Bill Clinton and his sex scandals WHILE HE WAS President, as well as HIS rape cases! But the Democrats screeched “THAT isn’t relevant, and it’s private btw Bill & Hillary!” Oprah agreed!
Yes, everyone has access to and is on Social Media, but SO many people look at Facebook to see where their friends are wanting to vacation, and to post photos of what they had for lunch!
The only reason I tend to believe so many folks are apathetic isn’t because they are uninformed. ALL the J6 bullshit has many of them terrified to speak out, except among themselves.
I had hoped in 2015 & 2016, when we all saw Trump’s huge rallies, that Americans were “waking up!”
By 2020, Biden became “The most popular president EVER elected in the history of America” and he didn’t even have to campaign!
I pray we don’t have a 2020 repeat! The “stench” is nauseating!
He is their god he can’t be touched.
It's ironic because he is going to be their downfall IMO
"It's amazing how the media treated Obama with white gloves and still do. Utterly amazing."
Well he does have amazing creases in his pants.
David Brooks
That does indeed explain a great deal!
Disa, this should be the next TFP expose'. It illuminates everything.
It's like I've been saying. The obamas, susan rice, and valerie jarrett are still running the show.
Whatever happen with Susan Rice, Domestic Advisor?
You don't hear a thing about her any longer. That's why it's suspicious.
I think I heard from her maybe once. The woman behind the curtain.
The city of Malmo Sweden is hosting Eurovision. Eden Golan, a young Israeli superstar is a top contender. She was warned by Israeli intelligence not to leave her hotel alone. Now thousands of islamists are getting ready to riot in Malmo because a Jewish woman is going to sing. Sweden would make Hitler proud.
I read an article thr another day about Sweden is falling into thr abyss with its 2 million (newcomers) and only has about 20 years or so to continue to be Sweden.
But we were reading stories about the rapes and the murders and the bullying decades ago and they still let the other in.
What is the appropriate and moral response when one is ruled by a government that hates you?
Sweden has the highest incidence of rape in Europe, and yet they prosecuted Julian Assange for “rape” because of an alleged hole in his condom.
Reading The Strange Death of Europe. Both heartbreaking and infuriating.
Any country that allows Muslim immigration at scale is signing its own eventual death warrant, because these uncivilized fanatics will be aided and abetted by the leftists/progressives to destroy the host. The UK, Australia and Canada are falling in real time.
I’m not sure where the quote comes from but it rings true. “ Muslims are very interested in civil rights when in the minority. When they are the majority, not so much.”
The campus protesters would say, they are not going to riot in Malmo because she’s Jewish. It’s because she’s a Zionist. Why can’t all us geezers understand the difference? So the riot is an acceptable act of resistance; it’s not at all antisemitic. And if we don’t see it that way, we’re obviously Islamaphobic.
Malmo has been a dangerous place for Jews for quite a few years.
This is sickening
The Tablet article is a truly scary labyrinthian journey charting the flow leftist money. Lots of green-eye-shade stuff but vitally important for understanding where we are.
How many people will actually read the Tablet article and finally wake the F up???????
Tablet is excellent. Their reporting is deep and thorough and interesting. They do deserve the Pulitzer (which has lost all validity anyway (imo)
There are none so blind ... .
Yes, SCOTUS, too.
Ha ha. No pun intended.
It is. The big money behind the upheavals is very powerful. I’m still having a hard time reconciling why anarchy is good for the elites. Keep the masses divided so we stay in power?
I have come to believe that their enemy is Nationalism, at least in the western world. Thus all the powerful global organizations, Davos, WEC, the World Bank, et cetera., have strong ties with the enforcer deep state here and in Europe. Fomenting discord, fractionating the populace is a key tool. Regardless of the merits of Climatism, because the climate is global, it's a perfect mechanism for coercing transnational behavior. The goal is Power, a small immensely wealthy elite with unlimited economic power over everybody. They need to control the narrative everywhere, and thus criminalize dissent. Russia, China and India are greatly more difficult to dominate so far. My $0.02.
I was struck by how many times the name Obama was in the Tablet article. Not surprised, though.
Book recommendation if you want to make sense of why a bunch of NGOs would be funding pro-Hamas students: *The Populist Delusion* by Neema Parvini. The basic premise of the book is that there's no such thing as a "grassroots" movement; humans are generally too unorganized. There needs to be elites to organize and fund them. Well-spoken, charismatic, and connected people who direct the large masses and tell them where to go and what to do.
As for exactly why these leftist organizations would be so much against Israel, it could be as simple as "settler colonial state," or there could be more interesting geopolitical questions behind it. Or some might just want to destabilize America.
They hate Israel because they hate jews and can’t abide the existence of the planet’s only Jewish state.
No, the hate encompasses Jews, Whites, "White adjacent" ( which can include Black conservatives, as well as Asians or any other group deemed potential colonialists or successful). Oddly, Israel is the only Mideast country that comes anywhere close to the freedom and equality we see in the US. Meanwhile, Hamas is oppressive over their own people, particularly women, children and God forbid Gay people. These idiots can't even get their "oppression" narrative straight.
It's none of those. The Jews instituted an ultimate authority, and it's not Obama, Henry VIII, Caesar, or even Moses. I'll find out if they got it right, pretty soon now.

I guess, "wait for it...?"
I’d love to see a fight between the janitors and the soy hamaszis. I’m sure the latter really trained here. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gKFX0I7CqRk
Oh dear Lord that video is hysterical. I lost it at the attempt to do a double leg takedown. Boys, I'm telling you - don't try get into a fight. It's not going to go well for you.
(I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I really wonder about what's causing the lack of testosterone in today's young "men.")
😂🤣
FP: WTF are you doing? Lonely Hearts? Tom Brady roast? Rap beef? Are you trying to be "People" magazine?
Agree
Make me laugh. The *anonymous*site disparaging those brave janitors. Put your name where your mouth is (you morons).
Interesting and mildly amusing but how about some investigative reporting and analysis of your own on who or what organization is funding these "spontaneous" campus "protests." Maybe you'll find the very people you like are not really your friends. Follow the money and you'll find the people working to destabilize our country. When you shine the light, the cockroaches scatter.
The Free Press linked us to The Tablet’s article on just that…who is funding these protests. More important to write about FUN and dating again.
Yes, Disa. Just infuriating. The Tablet article shouldn't be a link. It should be the headline. The DNC is behind this insanity. If one claims to be a "moderate" one can no longer claim to be a "moderate Democrat." That scam is done.
