Communism

This week, while we celebrate the work of America's founders, I honor a living freedom fighter: billionaire businessman Jimmy Lai. When Communist China crushed freedom in Hong Kong, Lai could have gone anywhere in the world and lived a life of luxury. But he chose to stay in Hong Kong and go to jail. A new documentary, “The Hong Konger,” tells his story. Lai grew up in poverty in China.

It take gall to go after a North Korean defector, and on the front page of the New York Times, no less. The paper’s staff writer Charles Homans’ odd choice of target appeared in the Friday edition under the rather tasteless headline, “Yeonmi Park, a North Korean Dissident, Defects to the American Right.” Although the Times has in the past been notably soft…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is seeking new partners for “knowledge sharing” on artificial intelligence, which apparently includes a major geopolitical adversary of the United States. 

“Greed of the fossil fuel industry” is “destroying our planet,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders. Young people agree. Their solution? Socialism. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says socialism creates “an environment that provides for all people, not just the privileged few.” “Nonsense,” says Tom Palmer of the Atlas Network in my new video. Palmer, unlike Ocasio-Cortez and most of us, spent lots of time…

There’s a socialist wave in Latin America. Mexico, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil recently elected leftists. These politicians at least distance themselves from thugs like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, but all propose socialism-lite policies giving government more control over more people. Why don’t people in Latin America learn from the mistakes of the past? Gloria Alvarez, a social media…

'Murica!

Government imposes a million rules. Americans seem to want more! Leftists want new gun laws and bans on single-use plastics, gas stoves, fossil fuels, gas-powered cars, nuclear power. Conservatives want to ban porn and books that discuss gender identity and critical race theory. People just accept bans on recreational drugs, flavored vapes and menthol cigarettes. Thomas Jefferson said, “The…

It’s entirely predictable, even inevitable, that public broadcasting would favor socialism in all its programming. But it’s a little more surprising when it openly touts The Communist Manifesto. The NPR-distributed show On The Media celebrated the "stalwart text" with a British author who thinks resistant conservatives are the best argument for communism.

On Sunday, HBO Max's post-apocalyptic zombie show The Last of Us offered some surprising thoughts on communism.

In a Tuesday morning report designed to tug at viewers’ heartstrings, NBC’s Today openly complained that people fleeing from communist countries had an easier path to getting asylum claims granted. They declared that the system was “arbitrary” when it came to which countries were greenlit for the easier path but, despite omitting the C-word, it was blatantly obvious what each country…

While the New York Times is now accurately covering the backlash of the Chinese people to the Communist regime’s authoritarian and counterproductive attempts to eradicate COVID, the paper hailed the success of China’s authoritarian approach, when the regime first made the West believe it had somehow conquered a highly contagious airborne virus. One particularly sordid example…

In October, a leftist outlet funded by liberal billionaire George Soros shockingly poked holes in Communist Chinese Party (CCP), Big Tech and liberal media propaganda that the COVID-19 lab leak theory was debunked. ProPublica’s story revealed a lab team in chaos, operating with “no equipment and technology standards, no design and construction teams, and no experience operating or maintaining…

Kristen González, the Democrat primary winner for NYC's newly-drawn Senate District 59, spent time on Univision's Linea de Fuego praising the marvels of 'democratic socialism' on Monday, only to be schooled by anchor Luis Carlos Velez on what it really means to millions of Hispanics fleeing from socialist countries in Latin America, including those tuned-in to the political analysis…

The New York Times continued to overpraise the Soviet Union’s last ruler, Mikhail Gorbachev, upon his death in Moscow at 91, with an 8,000-word front-page tribute from obituary writer Marilyn Berger. The print edition front-page banner headline read “Visionary Soviet Leader Who Lifted the Iron Curtain” over a photo of Russia’s last dictator. As NewsBusters’ Rich Noyes wrote: “It’s…
