Dissidents against tyranny from Cuba to Hong Kong fly the American flag, because they recognize it is a symbol of freedom. Meanwhile, Americans who despise the American flag are peculiarly silent when it comes to dictatorial oppression of those dissenters. Strange.

Far too many Americans are willing to trade their freedom for tyranny. It is insane.

FBI or Chinese Communist Party?

Wake up and rise up, before it's too late.

Fight the Deep State. Vote out Democrats.

Biden, China, and Genocide of Uighurs

It’s way worse than I thought it would be. He’s as owned as you can be.

Biden excuses China's human rights violations as an outgrowth of the rest of the world mistreating China. Good grief.

Biden won't speak out against Xi Jinping's actions in Hong Kong or his treatment of the Uighurs because there are different cultural norms that leaders are expected to follow.

It's a catastrophe for humanity when the leader of the Free World takes this horrific stand. It is unbelievable that an American president would dismiss China's genocide with such nonchalance.

Pope Francis Silent on China's Persecution of Jimmy Lai

China persecutes Hong Kong’s most prominent Catholic layman, and Pope Francis—who has opinions on everything—has nothing to say, writes @wjmcgurn https://t.co/JZHgcXp68J

China is among the world's worst abusers of religious minorities -- everyone from the Muslim Uighurs and Tibetan Buddhists to Christians and the Falun Gong. So why won't the pope say so? https://t.co/x1ye94J3Xm via @WSJ

From Bill McGurn, The Wall Street Journal:

Jimmy Lai has embraced his destiny. Last Wednesday the founder of one of Hong Kong’s most popular newspapers, Apple Daily, was arrested on ginned-up fraud charges. On Thursday he was clapped into jail as a national security risk. Thus did a man who started the week a Hong Kong billionaire end it a Chinese dissident.

Mr. Lai’s jailing has provoked condemnation from figures as diverse as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Soviet refusenik Natan Sharansky and New York Rep. Eliot Engel. They have been joined by journalists, activists and politicians such as the Labour Party’s Sarah Champion and other members of Parliament who on Monday raised Mr. Lai’s plight in Britain’s House of Commons.

But there is one place where China’s bullying elicits only silence: the Vatican. Which is strange, because Jimmy Lai is not only Hong Kong’s most well-known champion of democracy; he is also its most prominent Catholic layman. At a moment when he and his family most need their shepherd, Pope Francis is MIA.

The pope's silence on this is extremely disturbing.
