We know only one truth about the national security of the United States, & safety of Americans. Nations that protect the rights of their own people have a great record of respecting the Human Rights of others. Human Rights are National Security.

@rsoames - is the type of business shill who will lead @Keir_Starmer & @UKLabour into a mud pit. Praise by human rights violator @SpoxCHN_MaoNing should be a red flag. - But the real issue is China doesn’t have the economic vibrancy of the past. China is spent.
Chair of the Confederation of British Industry Rupert Soames @rsoames: There's lots that we like to engage in with China and we can row our own boat. Time to listen to those who see the bigger picture. 🌍🤝

@SpoxCHN_MaoNing @rsoames There’s a basic ignorance here on the part of the British industry in that China has really not much to offer as it truly has become the sick man of large economies. - the inferior system of the CCP won’t allow for economic growth. The Brits will learn this shortly.

@kjoules One of the most intellectually cheerful & honest men I have ever met, argued with David countless times, and of course rarely won. - His work was the most consistent & effective positive influences for corporate governance in history of Asian financial markets by a private person

Measure on true power of @DOGE @elonmusk found in @SecVetAffairs & @USDA or @AGPamBondi Aid/Grants from these 3 are mostly domestic. Cop, Farmers & Vets programs up for reform, not removal.. Real potential for improvement, but unlike USAID/NED, powerful constituencies, so no fireworks…

Not certain @NickJFreitas really understands Hayek…- Few in a repressed society read Hayek and said,,,”Leave me alone” … reaction has historically been, “Out of my way”…
Feeling something tonight that a friend once said… “You read Hayek, Mises, Bastiat, and you become a libertarian because you just want to be left alone. And then one day you realize, they’re never going to leave you alone…and you become something else.” Here we are.

@BrendanCarrFCC is not helping @realDonaldTrump here. - MAGA wants a fair fight with the liberal media, never heard an ask for more. Also never seen an appetite to repress others & this gives most folks who have frontal lobe activity the creeps. —
Yesterday, I wrote Comcast’s CEO Brian Roberts to let him know that I’ve asked the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation into Comcast & NBCUniversal. I am concerned that his companies may be promoting invidious forms of DEI that do not comply with FCC regulations & civil rights laws. Despite DEI’s rapid emergence in recent years, these forms of discrimination have long been condemned by America’s civil rights laws. As the Supreme Court has written, the classifications drawn by extreme DEI policies stigmatize individuals by reason of a group identity and are, by their very definition, odious to a free people whose institutions are founded on a commitment to equality. Thankfully, President Trump has taken quick and decisive action to root out the scourge of DEI. Following President Trump’s executive actions, we have ended the FCC’s promotion of DEI. And the FCC will be taking steps to ensure that every company the FCC regulates complies with the civil rights protections enshrined in the Communications Act and agency rules. We are starting with Comcast for the reasons set forth in my letter. I expect that every entity the FCC regulates will be complying with our civil rights laws.

@walterkirn Democrats are at war with themselves, end up to far outside box where they provide cover for Republicans who may want to defect. Dems have no rationales GOP Senators can join.. - Hgseth was most vulnerable & then Dems went with “Wife Beater” & Never offered place at West Point.

@thecfhk @RachelReevesMP The absolute joke and all of this is that Hong Kong has nothing left to give. - It’s failing as a finance center, money laundering growing, and financial firms & top people leaving. Simply not happening for UK in HK. - @Keir_Starmer & @RachelReevesMP are living in past times.

@lindyli was a Lefty on every position until Harris lost…Now she’s anti-trans, anti-illegal migrant, disgusted with Dem policies? & now a victim of those who question her CCP stance? Odd Even RFK/Tulsi hv not moved so radically. @ShawnRyan762 missed key CCP questions here.
Lindy Li on Kamala Harris's campaign blaming Joe Rogan for not doing the podcast. "Joe basically came out and put the lie to that. The Harris campaign wanted to blame him for it not working out." @lindyli

@johnkonrad @Keir_Starmer Jesus, @DavidLammy & @FCDOGovUK did that? - By the way, Mandelson is bad news. Huge Panda hugger and has a known track record of criticizing HK protests as well as downplaying human rights. - @UKinUSA not going to be having a good time.

In the dock, Chinese Communist Party picked the judges, and before that his crime. He knows the verdict is guilty, told me more than once. He’s 77, the minimum sentence is in reality, death in jail. He’s still fighting,,,and my boss, Jimmy Lai @SupportJimmyLai - is on fire
Jimmy Lai knows exactly why he's being persecuted. The rest of the world knows why he's being persecuted. Today, he explained it to a judge in his sham trial under the CCP-backed National Security Law. Jimmy Lai has spent the last four years in solitary confinement as a political prisoner. He's been on the stand for 40 days. Enough is enough. It's time to #FreeJimmyLai.
