“It’s a sign the U.S. economy isn’t in quite the shape we thought—“ Who is “we?” Are we all so well off that we don’t see that “regular” folks are genuinely in crisis all around us… for years now? Get off your phones and open your eyes.
Harris and the DNC have no principles at all. They will run the campaign by looking at polling numbers, period. Harris will say as little as possible so that she can at least appear to understand the world she lives in. They let her talk about price gouging and price controls for some inexplicable reason and sure enough she showed an incredible lack of understanding of the free market and private enterprise. Apparently, they told her to cease and desist with the nonsense.
The only mystery to me is that they agreed to a debate. The only explanation I can come up with for that is that they just won't have her answer any questions at the debate, but rather she will "pivot" to her stump speech just as soon as the moderator hands the mic to her. And if the questions are known in advance, you won't hear a single syllable come out of her mouth that is not scripted by the DNC.
What a sad state of affairs for the US Presidential election. The DNC is going to run their candidate by simply promising new entitlements and benefits to buy votes and ignore the real pressing issues of the day. The rich, the corporations, the GOP, the SCOTUS, and the free market will be vilified, and the implied solution will be total control of the country by the Federal Govt, run by the DNC.
No she will spend the entire debate bashing Trump and blaming him for everything wrong with our country. Meanwhile Democrats have been in power for 12 of the past 16 years.
While I love much about the free press, their views on RFK Jr have been pretty shitty. Demeaning him wherever possible, buying into mainstream media's attacks him. Listen to his speech today announcing that he is throwing his swing state support to Trump. There's a lot that would overlap with the interests of the free press, if they hadn't bought what others say about him.
The convention was simply about introducing Harris and Walz in the best context possible, and both the context and the candidates were brilliant. In fact, neither Walz nor Harris could have spoken better or been more appealing. Israel’s “Messiah” Trump is in real trouble. Harris should deliver the knockout blow when she shows how a mere “girl” unmans a male bully on national TV. For the first time, Trump will look embarrassingly weak, shaming his pseudo-macho cult.
KH is no child of the lower middle class. Her father was and is a Marxist Professor of economics at Stanford and her mother was an Ob-gyn expert MD and professor. They chose to live in Oakland and not food desert Oakland, because of their radical politics, not poverty. Even that narrative is a clack put up by the Dem machine.
She must avoid the press if she has any chance of winning. Her inability to speak coherently about the most basic aspects of life, much less government policy, has doomed her in the past. She’s a moron of the highest order.
""How many gay guys do Democrats think there are in this country?! " "Getting mugged by reality"...
I have a dream.
What if we took all flags except for the American and the state flags and moved them back into the private realm? We could all agree on those flags, right? I don't care what people fly from their homes.
Like, I'd personally enjoy having a flag which represented trying and executing pedophiles (oops - minor attracted people) or those who get off sexually on chopping off young people's healthy body parts ("Marci" Bowers, "Admiral" Richard Levine who is likely intact) but I do not expect such a flag to be flown over state schools which ought to be about educating the young. Might we just stop with all the "Kindness and Understanding" of perversion education?
All the "mental health" and sexual intrusion education has not made the children healthier. Just sayin'.
I personally think it is a brilliant stroke of strategy. How would the famously tolerant and accepting Iran respond to a nuke that turns their teenagers into purple hair non-binary tiktokers?
"How many gay guys do Democrats think there are in this country?! "
Right? I tend to like people - so I talk to everyone and have never been concerned about folks being gay or lesbian - but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of all the rainbow flags and Especially the "Trans" cult flags and the Pride Progress flags which = gay/"trans" cult/BLM Scam - especially in the schools.
Drag sexuality in schools? We pay for this with our tax money? Like, shut up already and stay away from "saving" our children. The State does not own them.
The Free Press banned me from commenting on this platform for 30days on July 24. In their explanation for the ban, they highlighted a comment where I accused all Democrats of believing that they are better than others and I accused the Democratic Party of being a crude cult. I also inserted the letter “K” in place of all “hard-Cs” in the text because I have often referred to the Democratic Party as the party of the Ku Klux Klan. For this reason, the Free Press saw fit to suspend my commenting privileges for an entire month.
I have written to the Free Press multiple times to ask for more clarification and have received nothing but smug, dismissive, silence. Nothing in my remark constitutes an ad-hominem attack because Democrats are neither a race, nor a creed, nor an ethnic group – they are idealogues. I likewise did not use any profanity in that comment.
Bari Weiss and the editorial team at the Free Press do not promote freedom of speech. They disdain criticism, abhor anyone who questions their obvious and odious biases and make no effort to support their own readership with meaningful explanations for which content is permissible and which is not. There is NOTHING in my remark that violated their “community guidelines”. My remarks are innocuous rejections of their preening, liberal weltanschauung.
Furthermore, the readership of the Free Press is not a “community” at all. It is a large mass of people from many different lifestyles and beliefs who expect to be treated with a certain measure of fairness when they subscribe to the publication. Part of that fairness should include a proper explanation for why commenting privileges have been removed for a 30day period with the prospect of appeal. But there is NO avenue to appeal their censorious decision.
This publication is a thinly veiled effort at rehabilitating the Democratic Party by outing its worst, fringe actors and ideas, while gaslighting its readership into believing that the editors are a group of rationally minded truth seekers looking for some form of “common sense”. They are not. The Free Press is a clique of wealthy, overly credentialed wordsmiths who shadow-ban and silence their critics without recourse to any form of appeal or explanation. And their decisions to ban subscribers from commenting on their site reflects their own level of paranoia, bad-faith, caprice and malevolence.
I live and work in the People’s Republic of China. I have done so for nearly 30years. I know this culture and political system intimately and well. I know what banning innocuous commentary leads to, and I know what hard authoritarianism looks like. I do not have the credentials or capital resources of many who read the Free Press in exotic locales or from the decks of private boats or stunning vacation homes and I have never been invited to give a TED Talk like Bari Weiss. My attacks against the Democratic Party and its apologists promote nothing more than open hatred for their insidious beliefs and ideas. Hatred for an idea is allowable in a free society.
Through the arbitrary and politically motivated enforcement of their policies, The Free Press has silenced many voices on their site in the guise of enforcing civility. They are wrong. They are deliberately empowering the worst impulse imaginable in humanity – the power of the powerful to decide who can, and cannot be seen, or heard.
The Democratic Party Rehabilitation Project… DELENDA EST!
amazed that they”let” you post this. I was banned for a bit for using the word faggot. I stay because. it is keep your friends close. and you know the rest
How about a free and open discussion instead of "nuanced and respectful." If you do not like what someone writes, write back and contradict him/her/oog/hum/lop. Censoring to save someone's feeling probably masks censoring for other reasons. Words are not violence, in spite of what the woke claim.
Yet they have the most registered voters to their party. I am happy to talk about the failings of the Democrat party but implying that they are the KKK is absurd.
I think they are a disaster but your approach to all of this is beyond rational and has negative chance of influencing anyone. Maybe take a page from Bari’s book.
The Democrats are the party of the KKK and historical racism. You are wrong. The fact that they have the most registered voters means that they are most willing to capitalize on the idiots that they produce in the public school system and the poverty they have allowed to fester. The Democrats keep people ignorant and poor because their success is contingent upon the support of the ignorant and desperate. They are no different than Maoists.
Remember, the Democrats have held the White House for 12 of the last 16 years but they blame Trump for all our problems. And Kamala has been Vice President for almost four years. If she had any good ideas, why didn't she speak up - or, if she did, why did Biden ignore her?
Peter Savodnik writes---" No one says what the Democrats' North Star is. They have wielded enormous power for most of the past two decades, and they insist they won't 'turn back', but no one says where we're going."
Mr. Savodnik, do you need some leftist Democrats to tell you where the country's going?!
I tried to watch the Free Press live but both the audio and video were of terrible quality. Also, at a running time of over 2 hours, I wouldn't have stuck it out for the whole thing even if the broadcast quality was great.
Such slanted writing against Trump and Republicans. Every single writer only know Trump from what the media has allowed. I expected better research abd open mindedness. Is that too much to hope for TFP?

A REPEAT OF 2019-2020. She is in the basement.

They moved to Montreal when she was 12. I left Youngstown, Ohio at 8 and grew up in Fort Lauderdale. I say I’m from Fort Lauderdale.
She must avoid the press if she has any chance of winning. Her inability to speak coherently about the most basic aspects of life, much less government policy, has doomed her in the past. She’s a moron of the highest order.

"Queering Nuclear Weapons" sounds homophobic to me.
Are we naming nukes now?
Personally, I have always thought of nukes as "fluid".
I personally think it is a brilliant stroke of strategy. How would the famously tolerant and accepting Iran respond to a nuke that turns their teenagers into purple hair non-binary tiktokers?
"There were no boos, no one waving any Palestinian flags." - maybe follow Andy Ngo and see it all outside the building and report on that...

We are so screwed if the Democrats win.
I just want kids to learn how to spell "blow" and "job" before they learn how to give one. Is that too much to ask?

maybe the FP believes in nuanced and respectful conversations, and not equating mainstream institutions with terrorist groups?

Sure. But I still fail to see how the comment I replied to was productive or helped the conversation at all.
There is nothing mainstream about the Democratic Party. They are behind nearly ever national shame in the history of the United States. You are wrong.
The Democratic Party of America... DELENDA EST!
Yet they have the most registered voters to their party. I am happy to talk about the failings of the Democrat party but implying that they are the KKK is absurd.

Historically the KKK were Democrats. Not Republicans.

Sir, we’re talking about the free press, not the FBI. Stay on topic

We're going right into the effing latrine!!

Even Helen Keller had a sense of smell....
