"On Sunday, the Iranian-backed Houthis fired a long-range missile from Yemen into central Israel for the first time. The Israel Defense Forces successfully intercepted the missile, preventing direct injuries. Still, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the terrorists 'should have known by now that we exact a heavy price for any attempt to harm us.'"

TFP, are you implying that because the missile did not land successfully that Israel should not consider it an attack and respond accordingly? It was your use of “Still,” that concerns me.
I have not been a big Ben Kawaller fan from his previous ‘man on the street’ type reporting. But I will give him credit for his interview with Matt Walsh.
My opinion: I found the overall interview to be very good. Ben, once he got past his usual over dramatization (circumcise a cigar?) he asked good, relevant, open ended questions instead of gotcha stuff and didn’t make it about himself. Personally this should be Ben’s format. Much better than his man on the street style reporting. More substantive and deep. Ben was respectful with his questions and I think elicited thoughtful responses from Matt.
I don’t follow Matt other than the occasional pop up on my social media feeds, so I don’t know much about him. Matt, again in my opinion, provided thoughtful responses, gave rationals for his thinking and used common sense that I think a lot of people could understand.
Everyone will take different things away from this but speaking for me, I thought it was well worth 41 minutes of my time. Pleasantly surprised.
Bari is a selective visionary. One week she’ll feature the wonderful Douglas Murray and you’ll think, “ Alas! She’s had an epiphany!” . The next week, a revisionist. And the apologism.
I’m not a hardcore left/right ideologue, but truth and common sense matter. Facts matter. Here is a partial list of falsehoods and abject stupidity she’s published:
1- Pastor Hagee is a rabid, virulent antisemite.
False: Without Hagee’s emphatic support, including financially, Israel would have been decimated during the Obama occupation. He is wonderful and his support of the Jewish people isn’t based upon religious ideology- it began when he realized the founder of Evangelical Christianity, Martin Luther had devolved into hateful antisemitism.
2- She ( or some of her “ featured contributors”) have labeled Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, Elon Musk, Vance, Lou Dobbs, MTG, Charlie Kirk, Trump et all antisemites, racists, alt-right… They’re not.
You know who she fails to name “ antisemites and racists”? Hank Green,Al Green, Maxine Waters, Tim Kaine,Rafael Warnock,Kamala Harris, Obama, Biden,Chris Murphy, Liz Warren,John Legend, Debbie Dingell,Chris Van Hollen, Ed Markey,Jayapal,Sharpton,Kerry,Powers,John Brennan,Soros,Blinken,Zients,Ciarmella,Strzok, Susan Rice,Chris Hayes,Trevor Noah
3- Bari interviewed Sheryl Sandberg who spoke at the UN , urging the world leaders to denounce Oct 7, the atrocities, the horrible rapes. So Bari has this heart to heart with Sandberg and asks who she was supporting in ‘24. Sandberg smiles and answers “ Joe Biden”. And Bari says nothing. And still blames Trump.
4-Bari also named Pat Robertson a lifelong antisemite and trashed the 700 Club and the featured contributors. Totally false and truly awful.
One of her guest contributors named Robertson as having spearheaded the total ban on abortion.
False. Though Robertson was very much pro-life, he vocally opposed the draconian Heartbeat Bill, which in his own words, was “ Unfair, too restrictive and cruel”.
5- In the article above , re: Routh, the lunatic, not mentioned, surprisingly, given Bari and Co ‘s penchant for accusing people of antisemitism who aren’t, is Routh’s very real antisemitism, anti-Zionism and affection for Ukraine’s Nazi Azov Regiment. And as per “ protecting Ukraine’s Democracy”.. What democracy? Zelenskyy cancelled elections, is flanked by the Nazis,closed the Orthodox churches and imprisoned the clerics , accusing them of abetting Putin. They weren’t. They are of Russian heritage. They are culturally Russian. That doesn’t make them anymore pro-Putin than it makes me pro-Marx, Lenin or Stalin. My grandparents fled the Soviet Union. And Ukraine isn’t a sovereign democracy. It’s a corrupt U.S. vassal State. I have no animus for the Ukranian people. It’s our “ vaunted” corrupt government that’s the problem.
7- Time and again Bari and her featured columnists have not accused, but stated as if fact, that the bilious Neo-Nazi, Nick Fuentes, is in Trump’s inner circle. He isn’t. When Kanye, Fuentes and Milo showed up unannounced at Mar A Lago, Trump had no idea who he was. Fuentes was booted long ago-after he showed his true self. Kanye has long been mentally ill- Trump is well aware. He made it clear-“ Kanye is a very disturbed young man”. As per Milo, he’s flaming gay and Jewish and has been really pissed off at Trump for a long time. Trump dropped him like a hot potato when the left falsely destroyed him as a “ pedophile”. Only because he was close to Trump. The guy was a provocateur, but very amusing. Had he been an Obama, Biden or Kamala supporter, Milo would have been celebrated by the left.. With his gorgeous face, black boyfriend and wardrobe wildness and hilarious , razor sharp wit. Milo later confessed his reason for showing up with Kanye and Fuentes was to get even with Trump he was very hurt that Trump didn’t stand up for him. I agree. So did David Horowitz, Dennis Prager, Rick Grenell, Kat Timpf, Gutfeld and Pirro.
Oh yeah! I’m Jewish, an artist and retired my 24 year interior design business. I had more LGBT friends than not and I wouldn’t vote for the lying, corrupt Post 1984 Brave New World Globalist CommunoIslamoFascist , necrophiliac Dem Party Of Hatred, Sociopathy,Psychopathy, Transhumanism, Technocracy and Tyranny if I was the last holdout. They are death.
If Bari and Co want to continue down the path of extinction, DEI, CRT,ESG, WEF, UN, CCP so be it. I’m hoping the new addition and independent spirit of RFK Jr., Nicole Shanahan , Elon keeps growing and morphs into a “ We The People” Party. Decent, independent,pragmatic, open minded Americans with ideas, backbone and sanity who respect the Constitution and each other replace the old.
Yikes. You quoted Tanya, “You can tell right away that he’s crazy, but I think people thought, ‘Who cares? He’s supporting the right cause,’ ” said Tanya. “Everyone knew him as a little zealous, a bit much. But nobody really cared about that ‘too much’ because he was on the side of good. He was helping Ukraine” but without any acknowledgement that “helping Ukraine” is not being “on the side of good.”
NATO’s dangerous expansion into Ukraine is bringing us closer to a world war. A war that is completely avoidable. Please listen to RFK Jr’s explanation of the situation in Ukraine: https://x.com/Brick_Suit/status/1835684444398887063
I saw Bari a couple of years ago and was smitten by her anti-new York times stance. I will see Bari in October. My subscription is riding on this encounter. Hope I can still “enjoy” reading TFP. Overall I like it, but as others have noted, TFP is sounding a lot more like the mainstream media.
Routh wasn't regarded as a dangerous loony because he was surrounded by slightly less dangerous loonies suffering from severe TDS. They thought he was pretty normal.
Since I saw the video of the Haitian immigrant biting out the throat of a kitten and drinking its blood while it thrashes desperately, I've had a hard time not being haunted by it throughout my day. What is the point, Oliver, of pretending that these things are not happening and that the immigrants are all there legally to work? Are you really determined to believe the Governor's denials and to ignore the eyewitness accounts flooding X and Tiktok?
We already have CNN and MS-NBC to lie to us to protect the narrative. Why add to the deception?
How many stupid things can Trump say, before even his most loyal followers tell him, "Hey, it looks like you WANT to lose? Shut up, already!" (Speaking from someone who wants the GOP in the White House, independent of who the nominee is)
It’s pathetic. Batya has been rightfully concerned about the leftist antisemitism, Islamism, Marxism, racist, totalitarianism and criminality. And she doesn’t know who she’s voting for?! This is the mindset of insanity. Yeah, I wish Trump would STFU and I prayed he’d opt for Tulsi and was angry and dumbstruck that he chose Vance.. I’m still trying to wrap my head around that one. But would that persuade me to vote for Kamala and CommunoIslamoFascists because they’re better at doin’ the shuck and jive shtick? Really? With Trump we buy four years and can work together to change the party in the positive. With Kamala, we get the WEF Great Reset/UN 2030/WHO Pandemic Treaty Red/Green Alliance and the end of the world as we know/knew it. Permanently. And I’m not being melodramatic. What’s going on behind the scenes… around the globe… and not being made front and center is horrific. The deafening silence is worse. But it’s very real. With Kamala and the Dimms, you get 1984, Brave New World, the Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf, ,The Island Of Dr Moreau , The Prince and The Gulag Archipelago in one fell swoop. Or the apocalypse. I’m not Christian , but I look at Cheney, Walz,
Kinzinger, Obama, Michelle,Obama,AOC, Omar,Waters,,Goldman,Chris Murphy, Hillary, Bill,Tim Kaine,, Hillary, Bill , Emma Emhoff and I see Lucifer, a golem the Whore of Babylon,Judas, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Rosemary’s Baby
Finally finished the Ben Kawaller interview. It was great. I think Ben is the most genuine of all the formerly Free Press reporters. He seems to want to explore ideas from an objectivity missing in the others.
MAGA: Harris is a Communist!! Aborting babies after birth!!! Black people are stealing and eating pets!!! White House gonna smell like curry and collard greens!!!
