There’s a secret weapon in the campaign to end the mortal threat the Iranian regime poses to Israel, America and Western civilization: namely, the people of Iran. After all, the mullahs’ Sharia-supremacist totalitarian misrule has impoverished, isolated and murdered them for over four decades. In addition, the ruling ayatollahs believe they must bring back their…
Israel’s successful campaign to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program, prevent its ballistic missiles and other weapons from attacking the Jewish State’s population centers and decimate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, military and intelligence leadership has given rise to an historic opportunity. For the first time since 1979, when the ayatollahs imposed their apocalyptic and totalitarian…
President Trump abruptly left the G-7 meeting to work on the conflict between Israel and Iran’s mullahs. Thankfully, he has explicitly said it’s not to pursue a ceasefire, whose practical effect would be to deny the decisive victory Israel’s security – and ours – requires. Instead, Mr. Trump has said he’s working on “something bigger”…
Israel and the Iranian mullahs are at war, precipitated by the prospect nuclear weapons might soon feature in ongoing strikes on Israeli civilian targets. Will the United States do what it has done repeatedly in previous Mideast conflicts, namely, insist that the Jewish State suspend its military operations before achieving a decisive victory? To his…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Literally overnight, the Mideast was transformed. Israeli forces conducted air and missile attacks against Iran, having determined that its regime – which had long declared the intention to destroy Israel and had repeatedly tried to do so, both directly and through myriad proxies – was poised…
Welcome to perhaps the most consequential grassroots-driven public policy initiative in U.S. history. On June 1st, the Texas state legislature became the fifth in the nation to exercise a little-noted constitutional authority to make gold and silver coin legal tender and “functional money.” The instigator of the Transactional Gold and Silver movement is my friend,…
Communist China and the United States have just agreed in principle to ease trade frictions. Ostensibly, it will mean back to business-as-usual with respect to our insane dependence on Chinese exports of rare earth minerals. Unfortunately, the Chinese Communist Party’s “business” is to destroy this country. For example, a third Chinese national has just been…
China is reportedly developing high-speed torpedoes that will use artificial intelligence to overcome the use of decoys and other techniques in order to destroy our submarines. Should that happen, it would negate one of the few remaining advantages our navy enjoys over the Chinese Communist Party’s considerably larger and increasingly well-armed one. It would also…
President Trump has deployed National Guard units to the streets of Los Angeles in response to what are not “peaceful protests,” but riots organized by powerful Communist and aligned groups. Their goal isn’t merely preventing the implementation of Mr. Trump’s electoral mandate to deport millions of illegal aliens. It’s the precursor to likely violent nationwide…
On June 6th, we honor those who fought and died to liberate France from foreign invaders who brutally imposed a totalitarian ideology on her people and their continent. Tragically, France today is among the European nations now increasingly occupied, not by Nazis, but by adherents to the Islamic doctrine of Sharia. The current occupation is…
President Trump yesterday reinstituted a travel ban he initially ordered early in his first term. It’s worth recalling why. One reason is that there is no way to vet people from many countries across the Middle East and Africa. As he noted in a seminal speech in Youngstown on August 15, 2016, admitting their citizens…
Two Chinese students have been accused of sneaking into the country a potential “agroterrorism weapon.” It’s a biological pathogen that could be used to devastate America’s agriculture and food supply and harm those who consume it. The question occurs: How many others among the 270,000 PRC nationals studying in this country might be engaged in…
Last week, polymath Mike Benz described a decisive moment early in the Cold War when the fledgling CIA covertly intervened to ensure the election of a pro-Western government in Italy. The rest is history. By preventing Communists from using ballots rather than bullets to take over a key Western European nation, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin’s…
On Saturday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Communist China there would be “devastating consequences” if it invaded Taiwan – a prospect that “could be imminent.” That warning was extremely important, as far as it goes. Unfortunately, while the Chinese Communist Party has widely denounced Pete’s remarks, its dictator, Xi Jinping, may be inclined to discount…
The U.S. government has recently served notice on Harvard and other academic institutions: They must stop ignoring the national security implications of having Communist Chinese and pro-terrorist students on campus. In explaining steps being taken to restrict or terminate visas for such individuals, the State Department is rightly noting that they can put at risk…
Donald Trump prides himself on being a deal-maker. And he aspires to be a peacemaker. Consequently, he is pursuing an agreement whereby Iran’s mullahs would actually abandon their ambitions to acquire nuclear weapons – and thereby prevent another “endless” Mideast war. Mr. Trump’s courtiers insist that he’ll succeed where his predecessors have consistently failed. For…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Suddenly, a rising chorus of Western nations is insisting that there must be a Palestinian state, right now. And the United Nations is pressing forward with a meeting next month to discuss this initiative, adding further legitimacy to what is, truly, a harebrained idea. Why the…
During his first presidential campaign, Donald Trump pledged to defeat what he called the ideology of “radical Islamic terrorism.” Of late, his administration has been signaling a willingness to embrace its enablers and practitioners. That’s the unmistakable take-away from Mr. Trump’s visit to Qatar this month. After all, his hosts bankroll Sharia-supremacism worldwide, including by funding toxic influence…
Today we recognize and honor the sacrifice of all those in uniform who gave their lives for our country. It is impossible to overstate the debt we owe those men and women. Without their willingness to serve and die, the rest of us surely would not be living in the land of the free and…
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem informed Harvard yesterday that it can “no longer enroll foreign students” for “fostering anti-Semitism and violence” and “coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus.” The Secretary declared,“Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.” We must hope that this action will lead to…
