J.D. is a bulldog. Got that from his Mamaw (she was a firecracker).

The Maoists are *firmly* in charge in Britain. They got a massive majority last July so there’s no way there’ll be another election before June 2029. If we think that things got bad with The Big Guy’s 4 years wait until we see what happens to Britain over 5 years of these psychopaths.

He's an excellent messenger. Like Trump, his conversations are down to earth.

I can picture Vance doing something similar to Fireside Chats when he's President in 4 years.

We need the House with a better majority in 2 years.

Good for J.D.! Few Americans are even aware of what a blessing “real” free speech is.

No where else in the world can you actually contest your “rights” as you can in the U.S.A.

Try and say anything anti-islamic or anti-woke anywhere else in this world and see if they don’t clap you in irons (and keep you there)

Tommy Robinson comes to mind.

The Axis of Oppression: The True Enemies of Free Speech

Free speech is under attack in many parts of the world, but nowhere is this assault more aggressive and terrifying than in the IRAN-Russia-North Korea-China Axis. These regimes have established themselves as the world’s most extreme anti-free speech tyrannies, systematically silencing dissent, imprisoning and/or assassinating journalists / opponents, and controlling every facet of public discourse with an iron fist.

While Vice President JD Vance has voiced concerns about free speech in the European Union, it is deeply troubling that he has remained disturbingly silent on the far more egregious violations carried out by these authoritarian states.

The true enemies of free speech: Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea

Russia: A Dystopian nightmare for Truth-Tellers
Vladimir Putin has turned Russia into a graveyard for free expression. A simple act of truth-telling — stating that Russia is waging war in Ukraine — can result in five years in prison. Independent journalists are not just censored; they are murdered. The Kremlin has seized complete control over the media, ensuring that only state-approved propaganda reaches the Russian people. Even religious communities that do not conform to state narratives face brutal repression.

China: The world’s most advanced oppression machine
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has perfected the art of total information control. The “Great Firewall” ensures that 1.4 billion people live in a controlled information bubble where dissent is digitally erased in real time. Journalists and activists who dare to challenge the regime disappear without a trace. Religious minorities, from Uyghur Muslims to underground Christian churches, are relentlessly persecuted, their leaders imprisoned or “re-educated” in labor camps. The CCP doesn’t just censor — it erases all opposition.

Iran: Where speaking the truth is a death sentence
Iran’s theocratic regime executes journalists who challenge its corruption and medieval oppression. Women who dare to speak out for their rights are tortured and imprisoned. Protesters, including teenagers, are gunned down in the streets or publicly hanged as a warning to others. Free expression in Iran is not just restricted — it is criminalized with lethal consequences.

North Korea: The ultimate dictatorship
North Korea operates as a 25-million-person prison camp. Citizens live in a world where the only information they hear is dictated by Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. Listening to foreign news is a capital offense. Attempting to smuggle information in or out of the country can result in public execution. It’s not just a lack of free speech—it’s the total elimination of independent thought.

JD Vance’s Troubling Silence!

While Vice President JD Vance has spoken out about concerns regarding free speech in Europe, it is deeply disappointing that he has chosen to remain silent on the egregious violations committed by the IRAN-Russia-North Korea-China Axis. It is easy to critique democratic allies, but real courage lies in confronting the world’s most brutal oppressors. His unwillingness to address the unparalleled scale of repression in these nations raises serious questions about the priorities of his so called advocacy for free expression.
