Secure Freedom Minute: Condemn Anti-Mosque Violence but Ban Sharia

Yesterday, three men were killed outside the largest of 13 mosques in California’s San Diego County. Such violence is unconscionable and must be condemned.  Even though little is known so far about the teenage shooters, the Islamic Center’s imam, Taha Hassane, nonetheless decried “intolerance.” And New York’s Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani denounced “Islamophobia.”  Before sympathy…

Secure Freedom Minute: Pray for Cuba Libre

The Justice Department yesterday indicted former Cuban dictator Raoul Castro and others for three murders of American citizens thirty years ago. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, it may mark “the beginning of the end” of the regime he and his brother, Fidel, have inflicted on the island’s longsuffering population for nearly seven decades. The indictment was…

Secure Freedom Minute: Are Xi and Putin Preparing More “Strategic Arson”?

Today, Chinese emperor Xi Jinping accorded his vassal, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the same red-carpet treatment Donald Trump got last week. Despite assertions that the President’s pomp-and-circumstance was evidence of respect that offset Xi’s several affronts and otherwise aggressive attitude, the message is clear: China’s ruler is actually an enemy.  That reality was central to…

Secure Freedom Minute: Hooray for America’s Rededication to God!

Yesterday, we celebrated on the Washington Mall 250 years of “one nation under God” by rededicating the American experiment to the Judeo-Christian values and beliefs not only central to its beginnings and history to date, but to its prospects for the future.  Critics are determined to obscure, if not completely deny, the role the Scriptures…

Secure Freedom Minute: Reject Virginia’s Democratic Bolsheviks AGAIN

Virginia’s Democratic Party might better be described as the Bolsheviks. After all, their approach to governance seems to be Lenin’s revolutionary practice of “the ends justify the means.”  A prime example is the Democrats’ bid to redraw the commonwealth’s congressional districts. First, they created a constitutional amendment whose language was corruptly misleading and unlawfully adopted…

Secure Freedom Minute: Mr. President, Make This Summit Your Reykjavik

Chinese emperor Xi Jinping’s lavish welcome for President Trump cannot obscure a harsh reality: China’s ruling Communist Party is at war with the United States. If we continue to ignore that natty fact, we invite a redoubling of the CCP’s long-running “unrestricted warfare” against America – an unforced, and possibly terminal, error of epic proportions. …

Secure Freedom Minute: Pray for President Trump Behind Enemy Lines

China’s emperor Xi Jinping will wine and dine President Trump as part of a spectacle in Beijing intended to give the outward appearance of hospitality. I pray the U.S. delegation includes a food-tester.  This is no joke. Poisoning enemies has long been part of the intrigues of China’s imperial courts. And, since Donald Trump poses…

Secure Freedom Minute: Trump’s Ominous Fellow Travelers

President Trump is taking numerous “old friends of China” to Beijing today – corporate executives who have made fortunes transforming the People’s Republic into a superpower.  The President’s entourage reinforces the illusion that the PRC is merely an economic rival that a new poll indicates most Americans share. Mr. Trump just reinforced that misperception by…

Secure Freedom Minute: Time to “Go for the Jugular” with Iran

Sam Faddis is a brilliant former CIA spy who spent much of his career countering Iranian efforts to bring “Death to America.” With President Trump’s necessary rejection to what amounted to Iran’s demand for our surrender, Sam’s recommendation is to stop talking to the regime in Tehran and “go for the jugular.” That would involve…

Secure Freedom Minute: Finally, Official Recognition that Some “Terrorists” are Actually “Jihadists”

The White House just released a new National Counterterrorism Strategy. It marks an important break from past official narratives about enemies foreign and domestic heretofore euphemistically and misleadingly called “terrorists.”  Notably, it declared: “Americans should be safe to live their lives without the fear of terror attacks, the threat of jihadists, the flooding of our…

Secure Freedom Minute: With Friends Like Xi Jinping….

President Trump often praises Chinese dictator Xi Jinping with whom he is scheduled to meet next week in Beijing. What if the feeling isn’t mutual?  After all, Xi not only has long waged “unrestricted warfare” against our country, but repeatedly undermined the Trump presidency.  For example, the Chinese Communists reneged on commitments to seal a…

Secure Freedom Minute: The Trump-Xi Summit Should be Postponed Indefinitely

Would Franklin Roosevelt have contemplated traveling to Berlin to meet with Adolf Hitler at the height of World War II? The proposition is, of course, absurd. Among other reasons would be concerns about the President’s personal safety. Yet, Donald Trump is set on visiting Beijing next week to meet with a man who has killed…
