Below is my column in The Hill on the new policy of Secretary Marco Rubio to deny entry of foreign figures responsible for the censorship of American citizens. It would constitute the first meaningful response to the growing threat of Europe to free speech in the United States. In the very least, it signals that the United States is prepared to fight to preserve this “Indispensable Right.”
Here is the column:
Winston Churchill once warned that “appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last.” When it comes to the crocodile of censorship, history is strewn with defenders who later became digestives. Censorship produces an insatiable appetite for greater and greater speech limits, and today’s censorship supporters often become tomorrow’s censored subjects.
This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stopped feeding the crocodile.
On May 28, 2025, Rubio shocked many of our allies by issuing a new visa restriction policy that bars foreign nationals deemed “responsible for censorship of protected expression” in the U.S.
The new policy follows a major address by Vice President J.D. Vance in Munich challenging our European allies to end their systematic attacks on free speech. Vance declared, “If you are running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people that elected me and elected President Trump.”
At the time, I called the speech “Churchillian” in drawing a bright line for the free world. Rubio’s action is no less impressive and even more impactful.
Europe has faced no consequences for its aggressive efforts at transnational censorship. Indeed, this should not be a fight for the administration alone. Congress should explore reciprocal penalties for foreign governments targeting American companies or citizens for engaging in protected speech.
After Vance spoke in Munich, I spoke in Berlin at the World Forum, where European leaders gathered in one of the most strikingly anti-free speech conferences I have attended. This year’s forum embraced the slogan “A New World Order with European Values.”
That “new world order” is based on an aggressive anti-free speech platform that has been enforced for years by the European Union. At the heart of this effort is the Digital Services Act, a draconian law that allows for sweeping censorship and speech prosecutions. Most importantly, it has been used by the EU to threaten American corporations for their failure to censor Americans and others on social media sites.
After the World Forum, I returned home to warn that this is now an existential war over a right that defines us as a people —the very “Indispensable Right” identified by Justice Louis Brandeis, which is essential for every other right in the Constitution.
The irony was crushing. I wrote about how this nation has fought to protect our rights in world wars, yet many in Congress simply shrug or even support the effort as other countries move to make Americans censor other Americans.
What was most unnerving about Berlin was how Americans have encouraged Europeans to target their fellow citizens. At the forum was Hillary Clinton who, after Elon Musk purchased Twitter on a pledge to dismantle its massive censorship system, called upon the EU to use the Digital Services Act to force him to resume censorship.
Other Americans have appeared before the EU to call upon it to oppose the U.S. Nina Jankowicz, the former head of President Joe Biden’s infamous Disinformation Governance Board, has recently returned to the EU to rally other nations to oppose what she described as “the autocracy, the United States of America.”
She warned that the Digital Services Act was under attack, and that the EU had to fight and beat the U.S.: “Do not capitulate. Hold the line.”
Former European Commissioner for Internal Markets and Services Thierry Breton even threatened Musk for interviewing Trump before our last presidential election. He told Musk that he was being “monitored” in conducting any interview with now-President Trump.
The EU is doubling down on these efforts, including threatening Musk with prosecution and massive confiscatory fines if he does not resume censoring users of X. The penalties are expected to exceed $1 billion.
Other countries are following suit. Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes shut down X in his entire country over Musk’s refusal to remove political posts. These countries could remotely control speech within the U.S., forcing companies like X to meet the lowest common denominator set by the EU and anti-free speech groups.
There are free speech concerns even in such measures designed to protect free speech. This policy should be confined to government officials, particularly EU officials, who are actively seeking to export European censorship systems worldwide. It should not extend to academics or individuals who are part of the growing anti-free speech movement. Free speech itself can counter those voices. These are the same voices that we have heard throughout history, often using the very same terms and claims to silence others.
However, Rubio showed Europe that the U.S. would not simply stand by as European censors determined what Americans could say, read, or watch. As the EU threatens companies like X with billion-dollar fines, it is time for the U.S. to treat this as an attack on our citizens from abroad.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt put it simply during World War II: “No man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it.”
It is time to get serious about the European threat to free speech. And Rubio is doing just that — finally imposing real consequences for censorship. We are not going to defeat censors by yelling at them. Speech alone clearly does not impress them.

CNN fake news just makes shit up. They got caught and have to pay out $5 for defamation of a service member, prompting them to fire the lefty writer who wrote the lies. On the way out the door he actually thanked his “comrades” at the “news” network. 😂

5 MILLION!!!
The CNN case was chump change – settled out of court. Navy Veteran Zachary Young is now going after AP for $500M. Same Judge as the last case too, Bay County Florida Judge William Henry. It was reported for the CNN trial that the jury was going to award Mr. Young a high dollar amount because “they were fed up with the media”. They never got to award him any money because CNN at the last minute offered a settlement which Young accepted. Hopefully this time Young will go the full monty on a more evil and despicable organization as AP.
Navy veteran’s $500M defamation lawsuit against Associated Press advances with first hearing
Young successfully sued CNN for defamation earlier this year after saying the network smeared him by implying he illegally profited from helping people flee Afghanistan on the “black market” during the Biden administration’s disastrous 2021 military withdrawal.
When covering the trial in January, Associated Press media reporter David Bauder wrote that “Young’s business helped smuggle people out of Afghanistan.”
Young’s legal team has said that the Associated Press article “went even further than CNN’s falsehoods,” and the veteran is seeking nearly $500 million in a defamation suit against the AP.

President Trump should simply declare, forthwith, that any nation desirous of relations and trade with the United States adopt and strictly adhere to its Constitution and Bill of Rights, 1789, for the evident benefit of said nation.
Absolutely agree!
Freedom of speech is a common cause. Labor and environmental arbitrage is a transnational concern.
Please do learn to “write for the reader.”
Agree.
The appropriate level for the people here would be “Run, Spot, run” from the Dick and Jane series.
But even that may be a bit too advanced.
One exceptionally valid example of ‘speech appeasement’ is that such a concerted European practice gives caliphate the ability to survive and thrive (for the sake of a fundamental transformation).
The Bible emphasizes the power and responsibility associated with the mouth and tongue. Verses highlight the potential for both positive and negative outcomes, encouraging careful consideration of what is spoken. The tongue is described as a powerful tool that can bring both life and death, and is often used metaphorically to represent the words and speech of a person.
LOL. The Trumptards think free speech protects everything they say… but if you criticize Trump you could be threatened by the US government and that’s okay.
DEMS put their opponents in PRISON!! DUMB ANON!!
Didn’t trump pardon people that beat up Capitol Police? How is that a good thing?
THEY ALREADY SPENT much time in Prison DUMB ANON!!
Those people were preemprively assaulted by officers. One woman was murdered in cold blood while attempting to escape the conflict. Another woman was beaten to death by an officer while she was trapped in a crowd. Others were the victims of American civil liberties unburdened over several years. No officers were aborted or suffered progressive conditions in or from the disorder.
“Crazy Abe” Lincoln, who was a “dem” before the pole shift, arbitrarily and unconstitutionally imposed martial law and suspended habeas corpus, and quite literally threw his political opponents in prison after smashing, not their pumpkins, but their printing presses.
Remember the Confederate/Red states and labor arbitrage of Democrats past, present, and progressive.
Child responce
ONLY TARD IS ANONS!!
*. If you say white man bad, orange man , judeo-christian it’s ok but racist. If you attempt to assainate orange man it’s not. Racism is against the law. Targeting Jewish citizens is a crime. You’re now killing them and celebrating.
Killing Jewish people as an Islamic blood libel will be met with equal force. The jihadists are simply sacrificing people to their God. Once identified it’s over for you. Let’s bring in the KKK.

These blessings are–> for ourselves and our posterity…
The UK, EU have been invaded and are feeding the 🐊. We encourage free speech because if not no one has the benefits of genius.
That’s just untrue. People won’t waste anymore time with lies and yellow journalism. No one watches msm including fox.

CNN reports BRUTAL poll numbers for Democrats, with just 16% of Americans believing the DNC has strong leaders and only 19% thinking the DNC gets things done
Jonathan: Is DJT losing his grip on reality? That’s the Q the latest YouGov poll asked: “Is Trump’s age affecting his presidency?” And the here was the answer: 57% said Yes and only 31% said No. Seems the people are paying attention to all the crazy and authoritarian stuff DJT is doing.
We can see this in DJT’s weird obsession with Joe Biden. When it was revealed Biden is suffering from stage-4 prostate cancer did DJT express any sympathy? He posted that the former president is “vicious”. DJT even re-posted a conspiracy theory that Biden was killed in 2021 and for years has been replaced with a robot! Insane stuff!
Then DJT keeps telling the American people “You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, egg prices are getting too low”. A dozen eggs were about $4.15 in December. Now they are about $5.12. Prices on everything are up. Talking about being detached from reality!
Then we have DJT’s very strange response to a reporter’s Q about a WSJ report indicating Chief of Staff Susie Wiles phone had been hacked and the hackers used her phone to send messages and place calls using her service. And what was DJT’s response: “Nobody can impersonate Susie. There’s only one Susie. There’s only one”. See what I mean?
Finally, we have DJT’s insane tariff wars, his failure to end the Russia/Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office and his promise now that he will end the war in the next “two weeks”–the two weeks that he keeps putting off. And his “Big beautiful” budget bill is not going over well with Americans. It cuts billions from Medicaid and other essential programs while giving huge tax cuts to DJT’s billionaire friends. DJT is apparently oblivious to his sinking favorability with the public. A new Atlasintel poll shows the favorability ranking of:
Obama +10
AOC +4
Trump -11
JD Vance -14
So as Rome burns what was DJT doing yesterday. Yes, he was playing golf with some pros and discussing who had the longest drive. You know, the important stuff!
#9. Yeah those polls that predicted a huge Harris/Waltz victory sure had it down pat.
Nine out of ten dentists recommend it…
MORE LIVES FROM DIMMEST!
LIES!
Dennis see the new CNN poll. You are losing big time. LOL
@Dennis
I suspect the 16% approval rating of leadership in the DNC is actually reflective of the party on the whole, and given the left leaning bias of polls, it’s probably lower than that. The best they could spin was 16%. I haven’t seen a number that low since prior to Biden’s inflation.
What do you do when you get to zero, Dennis, as you love ‘facts’ and ‘statistics’? I am convinced that the tiny percentages that remain positive are from the same older folks that still think they are voting for JFK in 2025, and are singing protest songs that no one remembers and have no relevancy today in front of government buildings. They aren’t voting for JFK. Everyone else knows it. Go blow. Nobody cares. JFK is dead, and so is the party he led. He was killed by people of the same mentality that instituted covid lock downs.
If you are employed to do this ad nauseam every day you are lighting your employer’s dollars on fire, and if not, then sh**, man. Find another hobby. Nobody cares. We are taking our country and our freedom back. You don’t have to like it, but you do have to respect it; reality is a b****, I guess. You may be astonished to see that you do not die, and neither does anyone else, in this course correction. I honestly don’t know if that can even register in your infected brain.
it is quite a thing to see people driving themselves to mental illness, by virtue of nothing more than their own insane thinking, in real time.
Plus the DNC is spending 20mil trying to figure out to talk to men?

OT, the Boulder, Colorado criminal illegal alien (thanks to Joe Biden), and Egyptian Muslim, shouted “Free Palestine” and attacked Jews at a rally held to remember the hostages still being held by Hamas.
Yet the geniuses on CNN claimed it was juvenile and ridiculous to conclude this was a terror attack. Just one more reason why the name “fake news” is appropriate for that wretched, miserable network of liars and imbeciles.
*. CNN is helping the jihadists kill the Big Satan as the ultimate offering to their false God and false religion.
^^^ Forgot the false prophet.
Gazans are the philistines literally. We know that story.
“Nina Jankowicz, the former head of President Joe Biden’s infamous Disinformation Governance Board”: Americans, like Jankowicz, who have appeared before the EU to call for opposition to current U.S. administration and its policies, i.e., “fight back, hold the line,” are committing TREASON, the real kind! Jankowicz should be sitting in the D.C. gulag herself.
Not only that, but this foolish loudmouth has no clue that she’s speaking to European autocracy and asking favors of aid and redress, openly betraying the state to which she owes allegiance.
Cory Booker did the exact same gesture as Musk (they’re shown simultaneously in split-screen below). Where is the outrage about a supposed “Nazi salute”? There is none, because Booker is a Democrat. That’s the only difference.

#9. No doubt that in our so-called modern times, though culturally speaking far more reflective of the dark ages period, the distinguishing line of separation between the Marxist Socialists, and their first cousins, the National Socialists, has become nearly invisible. Two peas in a pod.
Love it…
According to Ukraine’s Security Service, the special operation “Spiderweb” inflicted an estimated $7 billion in damage on Russia’s strategic aircraft.
The strikes reportedly destroyed 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers, hitting four key airfields.
Why did Ukraine publicly disclose so much info about Operation “Spiderweb”?
That’s a very good question — and the answer reveals how modern warfare now goes far beyond the battlefield.
First: Russians would’ve figured it out anyway.
You don’t destroy 40+ aircraft across 4 airbases without someone noticing. Satellite imagery, media leaks, and local reports would’ve told the story eventually.
So why not own the narrative?
Second: disclosure is the strategy.
Ukraine revealed how it pulled off the operation — smuggling drones in decoy trucks, driving them 5,000 km through Russia, and remotely launching them under the enemy’s nose.
This wasn’t just a strike. It was a psychological ambush.
Now, every Russian truck becomes a potential weapon.
Every driver is a potential saboteur.
Every highway — a threat vector.
Result? Paranoia, friction, and skyrocketing internal costs.
Russia will now be forced to:
– Inspect every truck
– Monitor internal roads with military resources
– Distrust their own drivers
– Slow down all logistics, civilian and military alike
This strains infrastructure. Chokes supply chains. Erodes trust.
Ukraine didn’t just hit planes — it weaponized uncertainty. It turned Russia’s vast territory into a battlefield of doubt.
This is asymmetric warfare at its finest.
You don’t need to match your enemy plane-for-plane. You just need to make them afraid of their own shadow.
That’s how you win without even firing the next shot.
Perhaps this was successful because the military leaders of Ukraine weren’t yapping on Signal about their planned attack!
Just a thought!
18 months of meticulous planning. Makes you wonder what operations are presently at the 12-15 months planning stage.
So much to look forward to!
I wonder how many Russian military commanders will randomly fall out of high windows in the coming days.
#9. Pretty certain this didn’t escape our Chicom fifth column’s notice. I wonder how many truck loads of these drones may have already been smuggled across our Biden politburo’s open borders, safely stashed away somewhere on all the farmlands near our military bases that the Marxists Democrat Socialists allowed them to purchase?
Why are the trump apologists silent about this? trump told Zelenskyy he had no cards.
trump is a joke. The guy knows nothing. Well, can you blame Zelenskyy for not telling trump what he was about to do? trump probably would have told Putin.
How many tariff policies has trump started and stopped? TACO.
Did trump stop the war on day 1? Nope, Zelenskyy just trump what a chump he is.
If you haven’t noticed
Zelenskyy doesn’t want to stop the war. Yet he has no chance of winning…
Do you really believe that? If so, you are an idiot. Ukraine was invaded by Russia, Of course he wants the war to end. But it should end with Russia retreating to pre 2015 borders, That includes Crimea.
They could of had a peace deal back in the spring of 2022 at Istanbul, but Biden the butcher squashed the deal and gave us this war and was playing WWIII chicken. Trump is trying to end the war that no one wanted. As foreign policy experts have written papers that the Eastward expansion would lead to exactly this situation. Some as far back as a decade.
Plus these aircraft are not longer built.
Was that a Pentagon op?

Trump administration continues to lose in court. Judicial pushback to Trump has been bipartisan: his administration has lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democrat-appointed judges.
And what percentage of those rulings have been affirmed/overturned on appeal?
I propose Congress enact a law that if a district court judge is overturned X% of the time over a specified period, she automatically loses her judgeship position. No excuses. No appeals. Just label her incompetent and send her on her way.
It seems to me like an easy, cost-free, rational way to hold rogue judges accountable. I’m just a layman. So I’m sure there are rational objections to the idea. I’d like to understand what they are.

Yea, there is one problem. The Constitution says Federal judges have lifetime appointment.
But hey, why let the Constitution get in the way.
How about a law that says if the President signs more than 2 Executive Orders that are ruled unconstitutional, he be dismissed from office immediately, no retirement income, no SS detail, do not pass go, Do not collect your last Pay Check. Oops, there goes BabyTrump.
Really? Federal judges have lifetime appointment according to the United States Constitution? Can you show us exactly where does that it say that in the United States Constitution regardless of their “behavior”?

MIT commencement speaker “went rogue.”
MIT didn’t cut her mike.
They punished her for her speech. Anything pro-palestinian or anti- Israel is not allowed. Turley will ignore it. It’s not the kind of free speech Turley supports.
George, what would they have done if she started saying there are only 2 genders and boys can’t compete against girls? What would they have done if she started saying Israel needs to eliminate Hamas? What if she started saying that giving Blacks extra points on admittance procedures is criminal racism? What would they have done if she said abortion is murder?
HullBobby,
Oh, they would of hauled her off the stage and let antifa beat her up.
What if whatever she said is her right to say it? If it offends some so what. Its still protected speech. She was punished because they didn’t like what she said. Turley is against that as long as its conservatives who are being punished.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a private institution, dumbass. They can do whatever they want. Now if this Megha Vemuri wants to sue them, she have the freedom to do so for violating her First Amendment right to freedom of speech. And I’m sure if she were to do just that, Mr. Turley will right about the potential lawsuit. And quite frankly, I personally think she should sue MIT. Even though I disagree with what she had said. Because while both sides are terrible, I find the Hamas side to be far worse than the Israelis’ side.
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” – *Voltaire

They are jihadists with blood on their hands.
Holy smokes!—And you don’t see a CRIME?! Pro or anti whatever does not give you, or anyone else, the right to invade and vandalize private property. that is not “free speech.”
As an officer of the court, of course Professor Turley will not defend the Florida miscreant. Turley understands the real meaning of “rule of law” and “mala in se,” which clearly, you don’t. Violence upon persons and properties, i.e., infringing on the rights of persons, the general public or community, to which a duty is owed, IS NOT “free speech” but felony crime.
You all, extreme-leftists, need to get educated and stop trying to turn the U.S. into a third-world country with your haywire mindsets and re-imaginings of what “no one is above the law” means.
Sorry, lost track of the thread—speaking to “Anon” about the loony woman and her Tesla shoot-em-up in Florida.
Dianna Bec,
Great comment! Leftist Democrats cry “No one is above the law!” unless it is them who is breaking the law. Then they make wild assertions that they are defending democracy. They are the ones who support or defend people who murder or attack Jews. They are the party of a death cult.

Marco Rubio and the others Trump picked are everywhere, and that’s a good thing. They’re doing a fantastic job. Trump’s demands are intense; he’s squeezing every drop of talent from his top players. Is this the next Apprentice?
Talent? ROLF! Your mistake is thinking that is talent. Rubio is banning people from other countries because of what their views are on social media. That’s nowhere close to what our values are. Intruding onto people’s personal social media accounts and banning them because the government doesn’t like what they say. And hypocrite Turley whines about other countries doing the same thing.
Yep and he has the right. Just maybe george should learn the US laws.
*. The jihad8st terrorists are now identified as the enemy behind Biden. The recent blood libels, human sacrificial murders to Allah, by the Egyptian yesterday and the two Jewish young people and ambassadors as coming to light by the domestic illegal jihadists. Harvard has fallen and Ivy leagues in general, also.
The shadow government is Islamic. What a surprise after 9-11. No judeo-christians allowed .

You’re an antisemitic, leftist, anti-American fraud. You spout nonsense, dodge facts, and collapse the moment you’re challenged. No solutions, no substance, just noise
One of the problems with the left is that they try to equate a stoppage of funding, i.e. Harvard, Columbia and PBS, as censorship while at the same time censoring social media, banning conservative speech on campus and advocating for outright censorship ala Scary Poppins and the laws of the EU.
The above point is very similar to the right not watching MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC while the left tries to ban Fox News. If I remember right I think that the person that Biden wanted to head the FCC had opinions that favored taking Fox off of cable systems prior to her going in front of the Senate while the left screams that it is censorship if Trump doesn’t invite the AP into the Oval Office.
The left are the fascists.
HullBobby,
Well said and spot on!
I do not watch Fox news, nor do I watch CNN or MSNBC. I am sadden at how far 60 Minutes has fallen, remembering how great the show once was. I do not want any of those programs or news outlets banned. Just let the free market decide. It is their own fault they have lost the trust and respect of the American people. They are the ones, the ones who lie and gaslight the American people, who are responsible for their own demise. They are the ones who are responsible for American’s switching them off and choosing independent media.
Thanks Upstate and please keep up the good work, we need you and others like you on this site.

Stopping funding because a school has classes discussing different points of view they don’t like is censorship.
Wrong.
Stop funding to schools to MANDATE DEI classes as a graduation requirement. My daughter was forced to take a DEI class as a graduation requirement. A class she did not want to take and we had to pay for. Despite this MANDATE she still graduated third in her class.
DEI is anything conservatives don’t like. The majority don’t even understand what DEI is.
Yet, companies are shutting down their DEI divisions, laying off DEI personnel as they know DEI is worthless, adds nothing, no value added and in fact is destructive to the company work place.
