Secure Freedom Minute: Tis the Season for Sharia’s Jihad

’Tis the season for celebrating traditions of the great Abrahamic faiths. Christmas markets and Hannukah parties. Increasingly, however, adherents to sharia – which is actually not a religion, let alone one the Bible’s Abraham would embrace – are emulating Mohammed’s jihad against Christians and Jews. It’s a reasonable bet that those jihadis are inspired –…

Secure Freedom Minute: Ignoring Jihad Ensures We’ll Get More of It

Missing from official comments and press reporting about the murder this weekend of three Americans in Syria and sixteen Jewish Australians on a Sydney beach is the word “jihad.” That failure is deliberate – a symptom of, and a contributor to, a metastasizing danger.

Secure Freedom Minute: Prevent “Civilization Erasure” HERE – Ban the Brotherhood Now!

President Trump’s new National Security Strategy has offended Europeans with its warning that they face “the prospect of civilizational erasure.” While several reasons for that dire prognosis are offered, the key one appears to be “migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife.” Unsaid, but clearly a factor in erasing Western civilization in…

Secure Freedom Minute: Don’t Help the CCP Get “FrankenAI” First

Artificial intelligence and its seemingly limitless financial prospects are raising concerns that it may be a bubble about to burst.

Secure Freedom Minute: Memo to Dimon – Stop Undermining U.S. Security and Resiliency

On Sunday, the “Titanium Lady,” Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, lit up one of the worst perpetrators of the sort of treachery her three-part “Underwriting the Enemy” series has relentlessly exposed: J.P.Morgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon.

The murder last week of a National Guard soldier by an Afghan veteran granted asylum earlier this year was reminiscent of numerous so-called “green-on-blue” jihadist attacks on our servicemen and women in his country.  Worse yet, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Sunday that as many as 100,000 other Afghans brought here without proper…
