For two overarching reasons, no good can come of the summit Communist China convened last weekend. First, there’s a discernable pattern of what happens when Chinese dictator Xi Jinping entertains his counterparts from dangerous regimes. I call it “strategic arson.” Second, in part due to the resulting conflagrations, Xi, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and the Iranian…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The White House announced yesterday that President Trump is not proposing to issue six hundred thousand student visas to Chinese nationals. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Trump administration will instead simply maintain the current number of such PRC “students” at…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. President Trump has a potentially fraught meeting today with his new South Korean counterpart, Lee Jae Myung. While the focus will be on trade relations, there will be an ominous elephant in the room: Lee is deeply hostile to the United States and dangerously aligned with…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. In America, there’s a growing awareness of and concern about Islam’s totalitarian code known as Sharia. Its practitioners are increasingly on the march around the world and in this country. For example, in Britain, Sharia-condoned gangs of immigrants are estimated to have raped a million native…
The untimely death of the governor of America’s westernmost territory has called attention to inroads being made there by our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party. China’s visa-free access to the islands of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, its gambling operations there awash with billions of dollars and its nationals’ illegal access to…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Jimmy Lai is one of the most heroic men in the world today. As a penniless youth in 1961, he fled Communist China to the British colony of Hong Kong, where he became a wildly successful entrepreneur and billionaire. Jimmy courageously used his media empire and…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. President Trump is manfully working to put out the fire that has engulfed Ukraine ever since Russian dictator Vladimir Putin invaded it in February 2022. He is trying to negotiate not simply to contain the still-raging flames, but to prevent permanently a wider conflagration. But seemingly…
Everyone knows someone was missing at President Trump’s meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin last week. Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky will get his chance this afternoon to address with Mr. Trump the fate of his country, accompanied by a posse of influential European allies. There was, however, another man absent from the Anchorage summit: China’s…
Nine years ago today, Donald Trump gave one of his most important speeches ever. In Youngstown, the then-Republican nominee for president powerfully repudiated the appeasement of jihadists long pursued by his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. Mr. Trump put forth, instead, a comprehensive and realistic of set of policy initiatives rooted in a central proposition: We…
Fox News star Maria Bartiromo rolled out yesterday another pathbreaking special on the Chinese Communist Party’s unrestricted warfare against America. This one features the Commander of U.S. Space Force, a developer of cutting-edge military technology and other experts assessing the PRC’s ominous determination to beat us to the moon – and to use a base…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked yesterday by talk radio host Sid Rosenberg, “Why wouldn’t you guys designate the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR?” He responded, “All of that is in the works. Obviously, there are different branches of the Muslim Brotherhood, so you’d have to…
Concerns are growing that the galloping advance of artificial intelligence will imperil our jobs, freedoms and country. I call the phenomenon “FrankenAI,” and even some in the industry worry it’s becoming a man-made monster. We’re told the unregulated pursuit of AI is required to compete with Communist China or we’ll be permanently dominated – militarily…
If you are ever tempted to think that one person can’t make a difference, think again. My colleague Cleo Paskal exemplifies what a single individual can do with determined and sustained effort. Cleo has long warned that the Chinese Communist Party is using insidious political warfare to undo hard-won and extremely costly World War II…
HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. announced this week that his department would cut $500 million in research into mRNA vaccines. Big Pharma and its enablers are furious. Many of the rest of us, however, are relieved that we may thus be spared FrankenJabs like the COVID-19 vaccine that appears to have been a biological weapon…
The transformative nature of Donald Trump’s second presidency is particularly evident in his efforts to reshape U.S. trade policy. He’s employed tariffs to rebalance commercial relationships that have long benefited other nations to our great detriment. Yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook used a White House appearance to commit to invest $600 billion to manufacture its…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The Chinese Communist Party is preparing for the invasion of Taiwan and other violent acts in the Pacific, and possibly here. Incredibly, Wall Street continues enabling such behavior by underwriting the CCP military’s unprecedented build-up. Simultaneously, our own defense industry and armed forces are insanely reliant…
The wheels of justice appear to be spinning at a higher RPM these days. Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly has ordered a federal prosecutor to submit evidence to a grand jury about what the media is branding as “Russiagate.” She’s responding to a criminal referral of what the source of such evidence, Director of National…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. President Trump’s mediator Steve Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made a fact-finding mission to Gaza last week aimed at ascertaining the ground-truth about the effort to feed its people without providing life-support to Hamas. They utterly repudiated the blood libels being told about…
The admonition that “If you are going through hell, keep going” applies to Israel amidst the blood libel that it is starving the people of Gaza and renewed efforts to secure a ceasefire there. The Israelis must instead finish the job with Hamas. Only by decisively defeating that terrorist regime is there any prospect of…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. This afternoon, an excellent movie the Chinese Communist Party wants no American to see will be screened on Capitol Hill following a panel discussion in which I am proud to participate. The reason the CCP is trying to suppress “The Unrestricted War” quickly emerges: It dramatically…
