The Chinese Communist Party’s totalitarianism is on display as it resumes today the prosecution of Hong Kong’s most prominent incarcerated freedom-fighter, Jimmy Lai – this time for sedition. 

Mr. Lai’s fate is one he shares with over 7 million people of the former British colony whose freedom the Communists falsely promised to respect for 50 years. Like him, they are now enslaved, albeit in an open-air prison. 

Jimmy’s conviction, which is all but guaranteed by Hong Kong’s Beijing-rigged judicial system, is meant to further tighten the screws on the former territory’s citizens – and telegraph what awaits those of Taiwan.

A new documentary entitled “The Hong Konger” powerfully illuminates Jimmy Lai’s courage and sacrifice for freedom. It also shows what the Chinese Communists have in mind for us, a well.

The three Obama-Biden administrations have been the most hostile towards Israel, ever. Notably, Joe Biden deliberately reversed Donald Trump’s efforts to strengthen ties between the two nations and Israel’s preeminent and secure position in the region, emboldening her enemies – especially Iran and its fellow Sharia-supremacist proxies.

Having thus incentivized their invasion of Israel, Team Biden was obliged to profess its support for our ally’s right to defend herself and to destroy Hamas. But the U.S. government has increasingly reverted to its previous policy of subverting the Netanyahu government and Israeli security.

That is now being manifested by, among other things, American insistence that Israel must turn over post-Hamas Gaza to a Palestinian Authority equally committed to her destruction. Such insanity would: translate into a strategic defeat for Israel; intensify threats to her existence; and imperil every other U.S. alliance relationship.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the Big Lie – the totalitarian practice of repeating an untruth until it inevitably becomes accepted by the masses as true. 

One monstrously big lie at the moment is Democratic partisans’ insistence “There is no evidence” that Joe Biden has engaged in bribery and other crimes for which the constitutional remedy is impeachment. With House of Representatives Republicans yesterday unanimously agreeing to initiate a formal inquiry, the question is not whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant what amounts to an indictment by the House. Rather, it is whether treason will be among the charges.

The available evidence shows that Biden has received directly and indirectly tens of millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party. And virtually every one of his policies has harmed our country and benefited the CCP. 

Let the prosecution begin.

Among the most despicable acts so far in the 21st Century were the horrors recently inflicted by Hamas and Palestinian “civilians,” including: the beheading of infants; rape, torture and dismembering of women; and setting entire families afire.

It seems unimaginable that anyone would boast publicly of being “happy to see” such egregious crimes against humanity. Unless, that is, you’re a Sharia-supremacist like Nihad Awad. They deem such behavior to be divinely ordained. 

Awad runs the Council on American Islamic Relations and its deep penetration of, and legitimization by, the U.S. government.  

He claims his comments were taken out of context. 

In fact, they simply confirm that CAIR is actually a fundraising and political warfare arm of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian franchise – Hamas. CAIR must be shut down, not legitimated further.

The ruling mullahs of Iran are known as “Twelvers.” They believe that their messiah, the “12th Imam,” will emerge from a well in the city of Qom, usher in the Golden Age of Islam and that this will be accomplished very soon.

Unfortunately, this event requires an outpouring of appeals for help arising from death and destruction that sounds a lot like the apocalypse. 

Add the Iranian regime’s incipient access to nuclear weapons that could be used to precipitate such a horror, and the three Obama-Biden administrations’ enriching, empowering and emboldening of the Twelvers is clearly insane. 

Yet, Iranian and proxy attacks on our forces go unanswered, money keeps flowing to Tehran and its agents are demonstrably inside our “wire.” 

We must stop funding, appeasing and otherwise enabling the mullahs’ ambitions and, instead, help Israel disarm them while we still can.

When you’re in the middle of history being made, it is often hard to recognize even major tectonic shifts. For example, after the fact, it was easy to see that, in the run-up to World War II, the provocative weakness of the Western powers emboldened totalitarians across the globe. 

The same is happening today, yet we’re mostly oblivious to the howling “winds of war.” 

Specifically, policies pursued by the three Obama-Biden administrations – characterized by appeasement, treachery and the hollowing out of our military – are once more inviting aggression. The Chinese Communist Party’s dictator, Xi Jinping, is literally setting the world afire from Eastern Europe to the Middle East to Latin America and probably soon here as he shapes the strategic battlefield for his own, impending aggression.

Will history record that we failed again to recognize the threat and act in time?

Four decades ago, I worked with the Senate Armed Services Committee, including three years as a member of its professional staff. At the time, national security-minded Senators like my bosses, Democrat “Scoop” Jackson and Republican Chairman John Tower, ensured that the panel advanced the practice Ronald Reagan described as “peace through strength.”

These days, the SASC, as it is known on Capitol Hill, has become an enabler of Obama-Biden 3.0’s Marxist make-over of the U.S. military. 

Notably, the Committee has utterly failed to challenge – let alone block – the promotions of officers who embrace: cultural Marxist indoctrination, “diversity” over merit, and radical social and sexual engineering. Now, the SASC has agreed with an acquiescent House leadership to a National Defense Authorization Act so deficient that its acronym, NDAA, more aptly fits a “Not Defending America Act.”

Here’s a dirty little secret: The third Obama-Biden administration is waging war on women. 

While its operatives are clearly weaponizing so-called “abortion rights” in the hope of attracting female voters, like the often- devastating effects on many women of voluntarily terminating their pregnancies, the net effect of the agenda being pursued by  Marxist Leftists and their standard-bearers is the antithesis of anything remotely “feminist.”

To cite but a few examples: Michele Obama and her fellow progressives are completely AWOL on the Sharia-supremacists’  gang rape, torture, genital mutilation, other dismembering and mass murder of Israeli women. They are championing so-called “transgender” men’s destruction of women’s sports and their safety and privacy in showers, locker rooms and dormitories. And they seduce and enable young girls to abandon their sex through chemical and physical mutations.

Far from empowering women, Obama-Biden 3.0 is endangering them.

The U.S. Senate was once “the world’s greatest deliberative body.” Now, it is mostly Absent Without Leave.  

Yesterday, Senator Tommy Tuberville’s effort to uphold the law banning federal funding of abortions that evolved into a fight over the Senate performing its constitutional role in evaluating senior military officers’ fitness for promotion came to a now all-too-familiar end: Senators on both sides of the aisle declined to do their jobs.

Ditto with respect to the twelve annual appropriations bills. Not one has been passed by the Senate. 

Senators have even declined to insist on advising and consenting to a treaty that would surrender our sovereignty over health policy to the World Health Organization. 

Senator Tuberville has been slandered for jeopardizing national security. What is really putting it at risk is a Senate that not only fails to deliberate, but is actually AWOL.

Senator Dick Durbin said the quiet part out loud about the Biden administration’s hollowing out of the U.S. military. In floor remarks yesterday, he declared it now needs to tap what he described as “undocumented” persons who “want to serve and risk their lives for this country.”

To be sure, Team Biden’s effective destruction of our borders has created an immense pool of fit, military-age men who are willing to do a job in uniform that increasing numbers of Americans won’t. 

The bad news is that, while many such men would probably be happy to enlist, especially if thereby fast-tracked for citizenship, they appear to be Communist Chinese special forces. Countless others hail from the armies, terrorist organizations, and prisons of Sharia-supremacist or otherwise hostile nations.

Tell your Senators to prevent such “fundamental transformations” of our armed services. Take action at SaveAmericasMilitary.org.
