Jack Dorsey just condemned the Chinese Communist Party. Will leftists start redefining the Chinese communists? It's one of the anti-liberty left's neat little tricks to rewrite their constant failure. Socialist regimes never fail; they just suddenly become "right-wing" and "reactionary"! Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, recently tweeted out a three-word message to end the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), apparently due to its authoritarian and oppressive policies. Anti-liberty leftists can no longer turn a blind eye to its surveillance state and the deliberate mass murder of millions. Unfortunately for the liberticidal left, this presents a big problem, because for years,...

As the Olympic games were held in China, Maher pointed out how Americans should be promoting democratic government. “In America, we’re supposed...

“I refuse to go to movies anymore. I don’t want to support Hollywood’s politics.” How many readers have heard or uttered a variation of the previous sentence over the years? Oh well, annoying and uninformed as the politics of Hollywood’s leading lights may be, they’re great at their chosen profession. Too bad they don’t keep their politics to themselves as they all-too-often know not of what they speak. But it says here that the movies and television shows produced by the left-leaning entertainment industry are way too good to miss all because of policy and/or political disagreements. It seems many...

The five therapists, who were arrested over a year ago, are finally facing trial for charges of sedition for a series of books about a village of sheep and a village of wolves. The books very clearly differentiate the two towns as good and bad, with the wolves' society bearing a striking resemblance to mainland China. The books depict the society of wolves — monitored by CCTV cameras — plotting an infiltration of the sheep village after their shepherd has left. "[The books'] combined effect was to influence or educate readers to neither be Chinese nor have a sense of...

Stand with Hong Kong.” Morey would later delete the tweet and explain that he did not intend to offend Rockets fans or his friends in China. Demonstrators were protesting against China’s control of Hong Kong at the time. China first pulled games...

June 4, come rain or shine, tens of thousands of people would descend on Victoria Park in Hong Kong to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre... every year the park would turn into a sea of candles.... Authorities banned the vigil in 2020 and 2021 citing coronavirus health restrictions... Many say the Hong Kong government would be stretching credulity if it again banned the event on the grounds of Covid. Yet that appears to be what outgoing Chief Executive Carrie Lam has suggested. The police cited Covid measures and a public order ordinance and warned those who advertised or organized...
