“…because the First Amendment applies to everyone: ‘it was a social media post, an opinion, and Finkelstein had every right to broadcast it to her 4,000 or so followers.”
The First Amendment protects everyone from the government, from state actors, which today means any tax-supported entity. For speech we don’t like, people can punish each other in any way that does not involve the commission of a crime. And if you beat me up for something I say, you have violated my right to be free from assault, not my freedom of speech.
"International Longshoremen's Association President Harold J. Daggett and the union are drawing attention in the lead-up to the election as the port strike continues, with the ILA's political action committee predominantly donating to Democratic candidates, and Daggett having only donated to one Democratic candidate."
But ok, he has a photo with Trump. Follow the money...
Watch the interview with Barry Weiss and Douglas Murray on honestly as you will see and know why Douglas Murray is one of the greatest living analysts of past and present events historically that you will be privileged to hear.
Bari Weiss
A great interviewer and deserved of all her success is very lucky to have Douglas Murray write a Sunday
Things to remember.
Spoiler alert.
He is a conservative and many of you will take this as a good reason not to listen to him but trust yourself as a common sense human being if you get the FP don’t miss out on this interview.
The first two segments actually deal with a similar issue - technology and how it is changing the world and leaving the old ways behind, and for those not implementing it, you, too, will be left behind.
I own an export business, so my livelihood depends on movement of goods through ports. It depends on longshoremen/women, and with the way inflation has hit this country (and will likely be rekindled by a lengthy port strike) I fully understand the need for those working the ports to want higher incomes. For the most part, these folks make good wages now, but much of the work comes with a lot of risks so I don't begrudge them wanting more. The problem is, these workers want a guarantee they won't be replaced by technology and, if they get their way, the US will fall farther behind most other countries when it comes to efficiencies and cost of goods passing through those ports. As of right now, the US has only one port which is considered one of the top 10 "Smart Ports" in the world; ports that are using technology to improve flowthrough of goods, efficiencies, and reduction of cost. By preventing or delaying our US ports becoming more highly automated, efficient, less costly, will only cause our Country to fall farther behind. What this will do is to add to the cost of goods coming into the US, aiding the increase in inflation. Unions are known for having great training programs. Maybe the Longshoremen's Union should be taking some of that money it is paying to its leader (he makes over $1.0 million/yr. and two of his sons make over $600K/yr. from their union positions) and start using it to set up training for its members to transition to other positions, like learning how to make robots or working with advanced technology, like AI.
As for our military, the same thing goes. Technology is replacing manpower and war machines like tanks, but the US is slow to adapt. Does this slowness have anything to do with who makes the tanks as opposed to who makes the drones and other technologically advanced weapons? President Eisenhower warned us back in the '50s about the military-industrial complex and it remains a problem today but one which may cost us our freedom in the very near future. We should be on the cutting edge of the technology needed to protect our Country going forward, not relying on technology from those we consider our adversaries or allowing our adversaries to become more technologically advanced to the point they can easily overtake us.
I feel, I think, the same way about the port strike. The dockworkers can either have the salary, knowing that it's fleeting, OR the security of knowing your job won't be replaced by tech.
What I hope it will illuminate for us all, is just how many things we no longer make in this country.
I love that reality intruded while people were having some strange fat bear competition. It’s a constant problem that people from urban areas have. They always try to turn nature into some kind of Disneyland in their mind. Then they go into National Parks and get themselves hurt.
Super funny one bear killed the other. Thats the wild. When food runs scarce momma bears will even kill and eat their cubs. Grizzly Man documented it years ago while having a emotional breakdown over it. He later was eaten by a bear. Nature isn’t always beautiful, it can be brutal and ugly.
I live in the central mountains of Colorado. A few years ago the residents of the Denver area and Boulder voted in favor of reintroduction of wolves where I live. Now that the wolves are creating havoc in my home those “front range” voters are silent. Personally, I’m pretty sure that what’s now Colorado’s front range was also historically wolf territory. Wolves should be reintroduced into Denver’s City Park and Washington Park. Let’s see how the people who forced these animals on us like having the fear of letting their pets out of the house.
I’m continuously amazed how supposedly smart people can’t think through cause & effect. Second order consequences are completely lost on these people.
"J.D. Vance may have given the better performance in Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, but next-day polls found that voters were fairly evenly split on who won the contest. In an average of four surveys, 48 percent said Vance won, while 46 percent gave the win to Walz."
When Trump debated Harris, Harris being the clear winner, most (but not all) Trump supporters admitted that Harris won. The Walz/Vance debate also had a clear winner but Harris voters refuse to acknowledge it. To my mind, this is just another example of how disingenuous and dishonest the Democrats are. I am losing respect for them by the hour.
"Biologically male volleyball player?"
Do they have a penis? That's the key, I suppose.
The Free Press keeps changing the definitions.
They don't know what a woman is.
Great job, Madeleine! Love your old school journalism style with various viewpoints and your own opinions obscured.
Oh! So we like unions now?
I wonder if the union head for the longshoremen is a good personal friend of Trump?
Someone should look into that.
No FEMA money for hurricane victims? That’s because mayorkas spent ONE BILLION on helping illegals!!!
You can’t hate those fucking parasite democrats more.
This is the Biden Harris Katrina

Ok
It is on you tube and not the FP directly but search and you will find it.
You may find the Douglas Murray and Barry Weiss interview from honestly on you tube.
I don’t know where I got it from.
Forget all the news in FP today.
Watch the interview with Barry Weiss and Douglas Murray on honestly as you will see and know why Douglas Murray is one of the greatest living analysts of past and present events historically that you will be privileged to hear.

“Don’t normalize Zionists taking up space.”
This is straight-up Nazi rhetoric. I’m glad this professor and her Palestinian accomplices are exposing themselves as the Nazis they obviously are.

No FP take on Jack Smith election subversion evidence? Maybe it's in the works.
Is Muhlenberg College a government institution? No, it is not. First Amendments rights or arguments do not apply to private institutions.

Polls had 30 percent of people saying Biden won the debate, that should illuminate post poll polling.
