Thirty years ago today, Sharia supremacists attacked New York City’s World Trade Center, narrowly missing its destruction, ultimately wrought by one of the perpetrators’ uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, on 9/11 eight years later. Arguably, the latter act would not have happened if America had initially understood the totalitarian Islamic doctrine that impelled such violence against…

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Another merchant ship under the control of the Chinese Communist Party has apparently been responsible for cutting an important piece of undersea infrastructure. On this occasion the location was close to home, in waters near a Taiwanese island. And, as has been the case as far…

Unbeknownst to most Americans, the Chinese Communist Party has waged “unrestricted warfare” against the United States for decades. In May 2019, it went even further, declaring in its main propaganda outlet, People’s Daily, a whole-of-society “People’s War” on our country. In the intelligence business, these are known as clues. Unfortunately, the U.S. government has basically…

The immensity of the depravity and evil of the Sharia-supremacists doing business as Hamas has just been underscored yet again by its latest act of barbarous inhumanity.  On February 20th, the Gazan jihadist regime turned over the corpses of four Israelis kidnapped during its genocidal attack on October 7th 2023. Two were infants, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. The third…

The designated terrorist group Hamas has released the bodies of four Israelis seized during its genocidal attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023. The corpses of a mother and her two infant children were among them. These victims’ remains were returned pursuant to what is, in accord with Mohammed’s example, a “hudna” or temporary pause…

President Trump recently proposed to meet with Russian and Chinese dictators Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to agree to cut the three nations’ military expenditures by half. At a time when Xi’s regime is engaged in a whole-of-society People’s War against the United States – and rapidly building up the means of making it a…

President Trump has long insisted that our European allies need to pay more for their own defense, most recently by allocating fully five percent of Gross Domestic Product. Therefore, the Europeans have spent with impunity on “butter” while letting us largely pay for the “guns.” Most balked at honoring even their NATO commitment to spend…

U.S. government and business leaders have long promoted the glories of “globalization.” With its reliance on low-cost foreign producers, notably in Communist China, to supply critical materials, components, and equipment, the integration of markets and national interests seemed not only desirable economically but strategically sound. In fact, this model resulted in the wholesale destruction of…

The deadline President Trump created for the release of all hostages seized by the terrorist organization Hamas is less than twenty-four hours away. He suspects they may have been starved, tortured and raped to death. Mr. Trump left up to Israel the decision to let “all hell break loose” if Hamas doesn’t comply. Its government…

President Trump hosts Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi today. They will seek to rekindle their personal, very special relationship, overcome bilateral disputes about trade, tariffs, and immigration, and forge a strategic bulwark against the two countries’ mutual enemy: the Chinese Communist Party. Topical as all those agenda items are, one may be of surpassing importance:…

The adage that “elections have consequences” certainly applies to the Middle East and America’s vital interests there following ours in 2020. Donald Trump bequeathed to Joe Biden a region as tranquil as it had ever been, with Israel prosperous, powerful, and secure, a growing number of Muslim nations making peace with the Jewish State and…

President Donald Trump’s meeting today with King Abdullah of Jordan has the potential to transform the Middle East. The host has rightly concluded that thanks to the war Hamas terrorists started fifteen months ago, Gaza is simply uninhabitable. If the visitor – who, like rulers across the region, professes a commitment to the Palestinian people…
