Anybody else notice that the theme song of the ACP is “Jesus Loves the Little Children”? I think it’s now “Jesus Loves the Proletariat”

MAGA communists are not far-right. This is nonsense. They hate USA as it was customary for old Communist party and they praise Russia and express the readiness to serve in its interest same as it was with the old party. To me they are absolutely on the left. Look at the squad members, which declare themselves as Socialists. Communist parties split from Social Democrats and became Communists under supervision of CPSS and other part of Social Democrats became socialists. Much difference between Socialists and these Communists?

The Supreme Court proposal includes a limitation on the number of justices a President can nominate, jeopardizing the balance of the Court and its numbers. It's extremely anti-democratic, seemingly forgetting we vote for the President and that the Senate Vets all candidates.

The "new" communist party sounds very much like the (still) pro-Soviet communist parties of Europe, or for that matter, Mandela's straight ahead Marxism. These were always into discipline. It's just hard to recognize if you have never been familiar with it.

This isn’t China where the government can shut off the internet and ban entire apps, websites, and even search terms for the entire population. Censorship is done here by the individual media outlets. If Twitter executives removed the NY Post story about the laptop before the election (which employees testified they did)…it’s censorship. If other media companies run the story, it doesn’t mean other outlets didn’t censor it. A majority of Americans get their news from social media making this a significant “thumb on the scale” prior to an election. I apologize if I sound condescending, but you seem to be struggling with the definition of censorship.

'The Houthis control Yemen and have written a chilling new curriculum designed to raise a generation ready for jihad. First graders practice their writing by copying the sentence “The Jews are the enemies of God.”'

Why is it not clear to Westerners that the Middle East conflict is the result of an aggressive Islamic religious war against "infidels"? Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and other Palestinians are religious fanatics who demand Islamic supremacy. The second largest terrorist group in Gaza is called Palestinian Islamic Jihad. "Jihad" means holy war. Could it be any clearer? Jew hatred is the continuation of historical Islamic supremacism and that forced Jews into fourth class citizenship, called "dhimma," its dependence including multiple restrictions and punishments. All of the rhetoric about stolen land, apartheid, genocide, etc. is a cover up for to fool naïve Westerners.

I might’ve missed something - where is the communist party “MAGA”?

Expand full comment

Good way to once again taint the term MAGA (Make America Great Again) by bringing up some bizarre group of "far right" weirdos who apparently believe Stalin didn't kill millions and actually think Communism works for the betterment of humankind. I get that MSM always prints the term "MAGA" together with the term "far right", but must you?

I have said this for weeks. Support Hamas and antisemitism vote Dem/Soc.

Hmmm....The Free Press loves all things Elon.

How did they miss this? Shocking.

I disagree that TFP loves all things Elon. Curious why you think that.

For your sensationalism: lesser outlets already covered that angle, and it’s not news. Maybe appropriate for your Facebook feed. There’s lots that I see TFP doesn’t cover about Elon.

Probably because Bari is a huge fan and was super excited that he was going to take over Twitter, esp. since Elon's prime motivation was all the supposed "censorship" Twitter was doing to Conservatives that Bari and Elon hated. Which is why Elon called Bari personally to write up/report on the "Twitter files."

Love him, except for that one minor blip where Elon's "free speech" crew on Twitter said some unsavory things about Jews....that's where Bari draws the line. Everyone else though? Fair game.

"Lesser outlets?" I'm sorry. Are you under the impression that The Free Press is a legitimate news organization/outlet?

Supposed censorship? All mainstream outlets covered the censorship of negative news stories for Democrats (laptop, Covid from a lab, weak evidence supporting lockdowns, etc). TFP treats Musk fairly like an unbiased journalist is trained to do. It’s normal to disagree with most things a person does, yet be able to praise something positive they do.

Expand full comment

Plent of people talked about the laptop, plenty of people talked about the lab leak theory, plenty of people expressed their views against lockdowns, etc..etc...

I know that, because I heard/read about it every single day on Fox News, Newsmax, Breitbart, various social media outlets, etc.

No one was "censored."

It's funny you think Bari Weiss/TFP is unbiased, though.

I mean if you can't share fake stories about students being stabbed in the eye, or screaming "Death to Jews," and comparing college students to Nazis, what hope is there for the rest of us, amirite?

You heard it on other outlets? Because those outlets didn’t censor it. What a crazy rationale. Liberal social media companies didn’t censor anything because I heard it on conservative news.How about the Twitter files. Verified communications between Twitter executives and the Biden Administration requesting/approving censorship. Same with Facebook & Google independently censoring content they felt was harmful. They testified about it to Congress.

TFP has been equally critical of Trump & Biden, Harris & Vance, and the hypocritical treatment of Jews vs anyone that isn’t a white heterosexual man. You describing attacks on Jews as “fake news” says plenty about your bias.

Yes...Michael....it was on many, many outlets....which means it was not "censored."

Trump admin ALSO had verified communication w/Twitter requesting/approvimg as well. So, give me a break with the pearl clutching.

What a crazy use of the correct definition.

What exactly is the "hypocritical treatment," that is occuring, Michael?

After Oct. 7, the U.S. and Europe completely laid down, escalated arms sales - way past the regular billions given annualy, and gave Israel carte blanche/free runway to do ANYTHING they wanted. Anyone who called for peace/ceasefire was called a Nazi or anti-Semite.

So, what "hypocritical treatment," are you talking about exactly, Michael?

Netanyahu was invited to U.S. soil to call Jewish U.S.CITIZENS and other college U.S. CITIZENS "Nazis" and "Hamas supporters," etc.

So, what "hypocritical treatment" are you talking about exactly, Michael?

In Germany, they will arrest you for wearing a shirt with a Palestinian flag.

The U.S. Government has banned reports of Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza...notice how you don't hear about it anymore?

So, what "hypocritical treatment" are you talking about exactly, Michael?

Lastly....just so I'm clear....are you challenging me that that TFP story about the "stabbed in the eye girl" at Columbia was NOT fake and the shouts of "Kill the Jews" at Columbia was NOT actually shouted by a Zionist Jewish students who was trying to get the chant started?

Is that what you're saying, Michael?

Maduro just taking his cues from the DNC

It is my understanding - being married to a Venezuelan for 25 years - they don’t think in terms of race. They call everyone Cafe Con Leche, different shades. The obsession with race is a characteristic of US Marxism. In VE they still use the Marxist division of class. So the comment Maria is “too white”, would be inaccurate, from a Venezuelan point of view.

Venezuela has gone from the richest to poorest country in South America in short span. If the US would try to actually stand for freedom , we could use some of our negotiating skills to pressure the military to dump Maduro in exchange for individual immunity, maybe Maduro could go to Brazil or Cuba. Possibly the people could get out from under the boot of tyranny. If the military starts killing protesters again, well another chance lost.

Follow up, military is cracking down, killing citizens. Btw. A lot of the military are Cubans, including the ones around Maduro. Very sad for the Venezuelan people. Likely a minimum of 70% of the voters backed the opposition.

Appears we are going to do nothing. Why do some countries freedom count more than others?

Does FREEDOM for Venezuelans mean the Venezuelan gangs targeting police and Homeland Security in Denver and New York City will feel comfortable going back to Venezuela?

Have ya all heard about the 17-year-old UK Islamic terrorist who went on a stabbing spree at a Taylor Swift dance party for little kids? Three children were killed.

On aphantasia: I seem to be able to see images with my mind's eye, but only of the things I've seen; it's like selecting a picture from my phone's Gallery, or a short video. If I try to visualize a generic "red apple" I come up with... confusion is the best description. I know what an apple looks like - and can pull apples from my "gallery," some of them red - but conjuring an apple seems to be beyond me.

I did the Visual Imagery Questionnaire and ran into the same problem - I can visualize something I'd seen but not something I've never seen. Does that mean I have it or I don't have it?

I'm confused.

(On the other hand, I do have a "narrator" in my brain pretty much all the time while I'm awake and frequently when I'm dreaming, and I can hear music in my head no problem, sometimes very realistically.)

As usual, this is off topic. This was posted yesterday and I can't remember who posted it but I am glad he/she did. It is a great post.
