The Global Times, communist China's main propaganda rag, declared that the Rittenhouse trial demonstrates the failure of America's democracy. Wait a minute, that's what MSNBC said. No, that's what the communist party rag said. 

I haven't gone crazy, folks. The official voice of the Chinese Communist Party is increasingly indistinguishable from the voices and narratives of leading progressives and Big Media. The great mystery is: Who is parroting who? 

Are Chinese communists reading the "news" reports from America's increasingly left-wing media and plagiarizing them? Or are American progressives reading communist propaganda and copying that? 

It's not clear, but the results are the same. The communist Global Times quoted Jesse Jackson as saying that the Rittenhouse trial means "It's open season on human rights demonstrators." 

That's an insane statement, even for Jesse Jackson! The men Kyle Rittenhouse came into conflict with were not "human rights demonstrators."  They were criminal thugs taking advantage of the anarchy that had broken out in Kenosha. 

I know I don't have to go through the litany of issues to demonstrate the absurdity of communist China suggesting it has anything to offer in a discussion of human rights.

But just as a reminder, the Chinese communist government is using slavery right now as a tool of its oppression and its trade policy. They have political prisoners and ethnic minorities working as slaves in factories all over China, making the cheap products that they send to our store shelves. 

These factories, by the way, used to be in blue collar towns like Kenosha and Waukesha, where American workers could earn a living wage for them and their families. 

China's communist regime uses surveillance cameras to spy on their citizens everywhere they go, including those going to church. In communist China, people accused of crimes do not go before a jury, they just go away, they are "disappeared." This is what communism does. 

Is it too much to ask for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken or someone else to make a blistering statement saying we will not tolerate lectures from the world's leading violator of human rights? 

The Chinese people cannot imagine having the freedom we take for granted. The failure of the Biden/Harris regime to counter this communist propaganda is simply another form of Biden's appeasement. 

And trust me, the world notices that Biden is not bothering to defend our system of government. He says we're in a "competition" over systems of government. Well, what kind of competition is it when he refuses to defend freedom over slavery?

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, remember that our freedom is something we should all be thankful for.  But it must be defended and protected from those who seek to limit and restrict it.

What are we supposed to think when an 18 year-old young man shows more wisdom and courage than the 79 year-old president of the United States? 

During last year's rioting, Joe Biden went for months without condemning the violence because he was afraid of alienating the left-wing voters he needed. But 17 year-old Kyle Rittenhouse went to Kenosha, where he worked and where his father, his best friend and at least six other relatives live, and took a stand for law and order. 

Throughout the trial, Joe Biden violated every rule against prejudging cases and people. Worse, he said one of the most terrible things you can say about an individual with no facts whatsoever. He smeared Kyle Rittenhouse as a racist to serve his own selfish interests. (I'll say it again: Joe Biden is not a nice guy!)

The contrast between this young man, who has been alive for just 18 years now, and the president, who has been alive for 79 years, is stark. It says a lot about the values of Middle America, and how Washington can corrupt an individual.

The terror attack in Waukesha is a huge indictment of the political left. Few American media outlets are focusing on Darrell Brooks. He doesn't serve the left's narrative, so they're moving on. 

But his social media accounts indicate that Brooks was a rapper who ranted about Donald Trump and white supremacy. He expressed anti-Catholic views, and appears to be a black nationalist. (Here and here.)

Brooks is a product of the left's revolving door justice system, who never should have been out on bail. He has been arrested more than a dozen times. And, believe it or not, Brooks was recently charged with running over a woman with the same SUV he used to attack the Waukesha Christmas parade! 

Virtually every day there is a new story about repeat criminal offenders loose on the streets because of radical Soros-funded prosecutors. But the left is doubling down on its insane criminal justice "reform" agenda. (Here and here.)

Brooks's racist attitudes against white people also come straight out of the left's critical race theory narrative. If you're a minority child and the culture is telling you that it's impossible for you to succeed because of white supremacy, that's going to make a lot of minorities angry, bitter and resentful. At least one BLM activist seems to think that Brooks started a "revolution" in Waukesha.

That's what I mean when I say critical race theory is a poison that will destroy America. 

The communist Chinese, Putin's intelligence services and the mullahs of Iran couldn't come up with a better weapon to destroy our country than the left's false narrative of America as an evil, white supremacist nation. In addition to everything else, critical race theory is a threat to our national security. 

This Thursday, we'll celebrate Thanksgiving and thank God for our blessings. A month later, we'll celebrate Christmas. These are very significant moments, particularly in a country like America with our deep religious heritage. 

But between these two events, something else with tremendous significance will happen on December 1st. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on a state law that limits the time during pregnancy when a baby can be aborted. The larger question before the court is whether states can restrict abortion at all. 

In 1973, the Supreme Court shocked the country when it declared abortion was a fundamental right equal to freedom of speech and religion. But nothing in the Constitution even hints at abortion. 

The Declaration of Independence says our rights come from God, among them is the "right to life." The Constitution says you can't be deprived of life and liberty without due process of law. But an innocent unborn baby never gets due process before she is destroyed in the womb.

President Trump put three new justices on the Supreme Court. This is our best chance in decades to end the carnage of abortion on demand. At the very least, we're hoping the court will permit each state to make its own judgment. That won't entirely satisfy me, but it would be a big step toward protecting innocent life.

Please join me in praying that justice will prevail at the Supreme Court on December 1st.  Pray that we will begin protecting all our children under the law, welcoming them into the American family and once again restoring the sanctity of life in America.
