Will AI take your job?

Former Sen. Phil Gramm says history points to a different answer. He joins TFAS President @rogerrream on the Liberty + Leadership Podcast to explain why AI is an opportunity, not a threat.

The communist government in Hong Kong just adopted their first 5-year plan. They come a long way from being the freest economy on earth. And they continue to incarcerate people for exercising free speech. #FreeJimmyLai

[#FreeJimmyLai @SupportJimmyLai]

Summer temperatures in Hong Kong top 100 degrees. Jimmy Lai, 78, spends them alone in a small concrete cell. Sebastien Lai spoke with @CNN about his father's failing health.

"It just keeps getting worse and worse."

[Lord (David) Alton @DavidAltonHL]

Joshua Wong and the death of justice in Hong Kong: The vindictive persecution, imprisonment, manipulative Communist show trial of Joshua Wong, and other pro democracy advocates, make a mockery of justice.

The trials are designed to try and silence, intimidate, terrify opponents; to entrench totalitarian ideology; to close down debate about the CCP dictatorship.

These show trials come straight out of Stalin’s macabre playbook, which he bequeathed to Mao and other imitators.

Defendants are invariably made to publicly confess to absurd, trumped up, charges of treason, to foreign collusion, to spying, to sabotage, and to undermining the state.

This grotesque charade, masquerading as justice, has involved psychological and physical torture and threats to prisoners’ families.

Death in prison, or execution, has often followed.

What is happening today at the hands of the CCP has all the same hallmarks and is from the same playbook. Ask Jimmy Lai.

That any British judge would continue to give this a scintilla of respectability simply beggars belief. It is an affront to justice.

It was why our celebrated jurist, Lord Jonathan Sumption, resigned as a non-permanent judge on Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal, rightly remarking that “a once a vibrant and politically diverse community, is slowly becoming a totalitarian state"

Joshua Wong’s latest trial underlines the accuracy of Lord Sumption ‘s judgement.

The probability of life imprisonment for Joshua , imposed by a corrupted system and a CCP National Security Law, is a total travesty.

It once again illustrates why the UK and other democracies must stand with the people of Hong Kong and China - and not with the tyrannical system which imprisons them. @hk_watch @SecRubio @HumanRightsCtte @CommonsSpeaker @LordSpeaker @UKHouseofLords @CommonsSpeaker @StewartWood @TomTugendhat @aliciakearns @SarahChampionMP @timfarron @HelenaKennedyKC @Nus_Ghani @CharlesHMoore

This act of lighting candles for victims of tyranny caused these individuals to get long prison sentences in once free Hong Kong.

[The Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation @thecfhk]

The Aug. 21 'subversion' convictions of Hong Kong Alliance leaders Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan, and Albert Ho show the world that Hong Kong's courts no longer respect the rule of law.

In defending herself on the stand, human rights barrister Chow Hang-tung's trial statements highlight for history how under the Chinese Communist Party, “The standards of right and wrong have been completely reversed.”

"Beneath the silly wigs and the somber robes, almost nothing is the same," writes CFHK Foundation President @MarkLClifford for @japantimes — no bail, no juries, and no national security verdicts that make legal sense.

Courage:”I reject the characterization of me as ‘unfortunate’. It is actually a great fortune to be able to fight for one’s own ideas. How many people in the world have such an opportunity? Against the biggest communist dictatorship in the world, no less.” https://t.co/SoTSybG26w

Important report from a land of tyranny, the once free Hong Kong.

[The Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation @thecfhk]

The Hong Kong government has already stolen five years of Chow Hang-tung’s freedom. Now, it is preparing to take even more.

On Aug. 21, 2026, Chow Hang-tung and Lee Cheuk-yan, leaders of Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, were found guilty of subversion for remembering the Tiananmen Square massacre. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

The Hong Kong government can snuff out the candles. But it cannot extinguish the light they stand for. 

This verdict cannot silence their voices.

Admission by Trump that the tariffs he loves and imposes recklessly raise prices paid by American consumers.

If lower tariffs = lower prices

Higher tariffs = ??? prices

Sadly, the PCUSA is more of a political organization than a religious body focused on preaching the Gospel and saving souls.

[David L. Bahnsen @DavidBahnsen]

The PCUSA started its downward slide about a hundred years ago. It was beyond repair about twenty years ago. I hate admitting I’m unfazed by this announcement, but no one paying attention should be remotely surprised. It is a corpse of a denomination, and its membership will be zero in my lifetime. And God is watching.
