Is Cuba on the edge of a tectonic shift from Castroite communism to Western-style democracy? https://t.co/Syz6qnIlR6

[Lee Edwards @LeeWEdwards]

The demonstrations for “Libertad” in Havana and elsewhere are the inevitable result of Communist Cuba’s callous indifference to the lives of the Cuban people, still waiting, after six decades, for the free and open elections Fidel Castro promised them. https://t.co/RpnJ2GzjVy

@Gundisalvus @FoxNews This is the reality of socialism—a pseudo-religion grounded in pseudo-science and enforced by political tyranny. @LeeWEdwards

After six decades of communist rule, thousands of angry Cubans have taken to the streets to demand freedom and that the Communist President Diaz-Canel step down. Their message is straight-forward: “Basta!”

Communist China will do whatever is necessary, including grand theft of our intellectual property, to become a global superpower.

That the Confucius Institutes are instruments of Chinese propaganda was confirmed by Lee Changchun, the head of propaganda for the Chinese Communist Party, who boasted that the Institutes were “an important part of China’s overseas propaganda setup.” https://t.co/t0yaBjUPza

. @POTUS is ransoming our economy & dividing our society into ever smaller and more self-centered groups. He is no moderate but a radical progressive intent on transforming America into a socialist state with American characteristics. https://t.co/pBVDVyiC2r

In his Iron Curtain speech 75 years ago, Winston Churchill urged a strong economic and military response to Soviet aggression. Within a year, President Truman initiated the policy of containment with the Marshall Plan and NATO. The power of words!

Whatever the issue, Rush Limbaugh offered common sense conservative analysis, along with a slice of satire and some rock-and-roll.

His voice may be still, but his example continues to inspire radio hosts from coast to coast. @LeeWEdwards https://t.co/O9xG2GimhS

[Lee Edwards @LeeWEdwards]

Rush understood full well the power of ideas. He saw the importance of the Tea Party and its Constitution-based populism. https://t.co/Sc8aHeGAwe

Communist China knows no limits to its totalitarian ways. The latest is its practice of forcing Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province to pick cotton to use in consumer goods. Kudos to @adrianzenz of the @VoCommunism for uncovering this blatant abuse of human rights.

Now is the time for conservatives to have faith and to work all the harder to articulate a vision based on these ideas and to help bring our divided nation together.

Can we do it? Of course, we can. After all, we are Americans.

Conservatives have a special role and responsibility—to oppose a progressive agenda that promises more government programs and regulations, more taxes and spending, that would take us down the road to socialism

Ordered liberty “is at the root of Ronald Reagan’s philosophy and I think it is going to be at the root of what conservatives are going to be debating with liberals and progressives, led by Mr. Biden, in the years ahead” says @LeeWEdwards via @WashTimes https://t.co/mfu2b5zTnA

It was a pleasure to join @theIWP for their 13th Annual Kościuszko Chair Conference. Here is my conversation w/ Dr. Marek Jan Chodakiewicz about how the conservative movement shaped American politics over the past half century.

31 years ago the communist façade of power and authority cracked and the people’s natural desire for freedom, dammed up for more than 40 years, burst forth.

A great reminder from @LeeWEdwards why the #BerlinWall came down: https://t.co/zVUGTZbqfv

[Lee Edwards @LeeWEdwards]

31 years ago today the Berlin Wall, built to keep people inside the Soviet Empire, came tumbling down. 100 million people free at last!

"The re-election of China to the U.N. Human Rights Council is a travesty. It mocks the U.N. boast that the council is the world’s 'premier' human rights agency and ignores the record of one of the worst offenders of human rights." — @LeeWEdwards

[Lee Edwards @LeeWEdwards]

Communist China is one of the world’s worst human-rights offenders. The country’s reelection to the U.N. Human Rights Council is a travesty. @NRO
