It’s pathetic that global activists and leaders are screaming “genocide” and advocating for Palestine statehood while ignoring the predicament of Uyghur Muslims in similar conditions in Xinjiang.

Hard to admit Hollywood has become a handmaiden of the CCP. They cooperate with Chinese censors to curate a 100% benevolent view of China for profit. China's co-option of our entertainment industry robs us of the truth about dangers to our society. Time to reverse course.

Taiwan's golden moment at the Paris Olympics was cut short on Chinese TV. Much of the men's doubles badminton match was censored. Taiwanese banners were also banned. Decades of cross strait tension played out on the world's biggest stage. @OutFrontCNN @EricaRHill @EricCheungwc

Too many Americans don't know why TWN matters. This graphic might help. Implications go beyond subjugation of 23M Taiwanese to CCP repression. Many of our vital interests are at stake and global geostrategic dynamics would shift significantly in our disfavor.

The fragility of communism: using military & economic coercion to force another country to compete under a nonsensical name—and then refusing to broadcast their athletes’ victories. “CCTV ends broadcast upon loss, skips Taiwan’s gold medal” @TaiwanNewsEN taiwannews.com.tw/news/5914066

The level of absurdity IOC and UN willing to go protecting the fragile ego of China at the expense of Taiwan is abusive. Fuck IOC for its own failure to be neutral arbitrator and playing politics bending at China’s demand.

Imagine how it feels to win Olympic gold against opponents from the authoritarian country that wants to take your sovereignty - and when you receive your medal, your country's name, flag, and anthem are completely erased. How much longer will this indignity be forced on Taiwan?

Taiwan vs China: An #OlympicGames security guard aggressively confiscates a towel with the word “Taiwan” on it. Olympic rules forbid the showing of flags from non-participating countries (thus no ROC flags) but it looks like the #French, are trying to ban the word #Taiwan also

One photo to demonstrate the level of absurdity involved in the IOC’s rule against displays of statehood for Taiwan. This is not the ROC flag, just a towel. Shameful.

It's actually super fucked up that the press was pretending for weeks that Biden was a crazy old man doing nothing but ailing in bed when he was actually busting his ass to get a JOURNALIST released from Russian prison.

In just the last couple of weeks, Dark Brandon has gotten: Evan Gershkovich released "El Mayo" Zambada - Sinaloa cartel, captured Joaquín Guzmán López - El- Chapo's son, captured Fu’ad Shukr - Architect of Marine Barracks bombing, killed No real fanfare. Just results.

Has anyone done a supercut of every WSJ article or editorial saying Biden could no longer be an effective president that was written while he was securing their reporter’s release?

President Biden finalized this deal AN HOUR AFTER TELLING AMERICA HE WOULDN’T SEEK A 2ND TERM. He did it *knowing* it would have ZERO political benefit for him. Donald Trump asked Putin NOT to release Evan Gershkovic until AFTER the election SOLELY to use him politically.
