"I have regretted saying no to that car ride for the last five years." Claire Lai reflects on New Year's Eve 2020, when her father #JimmyLai's bail was revoked. Once again, Jimmy Lai will spend New Year's Eve in solitary confinement, separated from his family. Jimmy Lai's "guilty" conviction under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law is a grave miscarriage of justice. He now faces life imprisonment—for daring to publish a pro-democracy newspaper which criticized the Chinese government. At 78, with failing health, every day behind bars puts his life at risk. The international community must stand for Jimmy Lai before it's too late. #FreeJimmyLai

Jimmy Lai is a political prisoner facing life in prison under Hong Kong’s draconian national security law. He sits in a shoebox cell with failing health and is even denied the Eucharist that sustains his faith. Jimmy Lai needs to be freed before it’s too late.

#WATCH | Mumbai: On Shiv Sena UBT leader Aaditya Thackeray's response to the Disha Salian death case, BJP leader Ram Kadam says, "What does it matter what Aditya Thackeray says? The real question is: what are Disha Salian’s father and her family saying? At the time of Disha's death, the police attempted to hush up the entire matter. Uddhav Thackeray was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The country and the world witnessed the attempt to shield the son of a prominent figure...evidence was tampered with...before the law, everyone receives justice, regardless of their status. A father lost his daughter, and it has been 6 years. He grew weary of pleading for justice, yet the Uddhav Thackeray government of that time paid no heed to him. If Aditya Thackeray or anyone else had no connection to the matter, why did he refuse to hand the case over to the CBI? Why were the family's demands not met? What constraints dictated the Uddhav Thackeray government's conduct?..."

Today, a kangaroo court in Hong Kong found publisher Jimmy Lai guilty in its first-ever “collusion with foreign forces” trial under Beijing’s National Security Law for meetings and editorials calling for support for Hong Kong. Jimmy Lai is 78, a British citizen, and has already spent over 1,800 days in prison, mostly in solitary confinement. He is guilty only of believing Hong Kong people deserve freedom. If governments say they stand for press freedom and the rule of law, this is the moment to prove it, says Frances Hui 許穎婷 #JimmyLai #HongKong #PressFreedom #HumanRights #FreeJimmyLai #NationalSecurityLaw #PoliticalPrisoner #FrancesHui

“The aim of solitary confinement is to break you—to keep you in a little cell and tell you that you did all of this for nothing. That nobody cares about you, and that you’re going to die alone. Though his body seems to have broken down quite a bit, it seems that is mind and spirit is still going strong. They have not broken him, and he still has fight in him.” — Sebastien Lai, son of Jimmy Lai on Meet the Press

History remembers the people who refused to stay silent. Jimmy is one of them. He denounced Chinese communism, defended the rule of law, and gave Hong Kong a free press, knowing exactly what it would cost him.

Arthur Brooks Explains How to Get Your Kids to Follow Your Faith "The number one answer is to have them see you practicing the faith. It doesn't matter what you tell them. The number one predictor of kids growing up, especially sons, practicing the faith is their father practicing the faith." "When I was a kid, my dad was huge and strong. He was proud and never would have bent the knee to any other man, but every night he was on his knees next to my bed, and that had a huge influence on me as a little dude." "It showed me that's what it means to be a big, strong man, to bow in reverence before the Lord."

Will the Government now finally act and call unequivocally for Jimmy Lai’s humanitarian parole? Today, as the Minister confirmed, Jimmy Lai a British citizen has been given a further 20-year sentence. Given his frail health and five years already spent in solitary confinement, this is not a sentence in any real sense. It is a death sentence for a man whose only crime was to stand for freedom. Why does the Government still describe him merely as a “British national”? Lord Cameron rightly made clear he is a British citizen. Will the Minister now correct the record? Ministers speak about Hong Kong, yet they have sanctioned no one in Beijing for tearing up the Sino-British Joint Declaration and imposing the national security law under which Jimmy Lai has been convicted for peaceful democratic advocacy. The Prime Minister’s recent visit to China brought back nothing of substance. Even worse, the Government granted planning permission for a vast Chinese embassy in London without securing Mr Lai’s release, handing leverage away for free and achieving nothing. My thoughts are with Sebastien and Claire Lai. This is a dark day for freedom and justice.

Father of the year! This father came to the rescue of his daughter, who was being harassed by a customer. The customer was harassing her and following her around to the point that the manager would walk her to her car during her breaks. She told the man she was only 16, to which he replied, “That’s okay, I’m only 30.” What a sick creep. Glad this dad stepped up and confronted the guy.

Hunter: "And I realized how privileged I am." Is this an admission of corruption? Hunter Biden says taking on Burisma as a client while his father was vice president was a stupid thing to do. He says he wasn't fully aware of what a swamp it was, or the narrative that could be spun from it. His admission about the pardon: he received privileges no one else in the world would have, because his father happened to have the authority and power to grant them.
