Secure Freedom Minute: Hard Lessons from the Latest Genocide

Horrifying videos taken by Palestinian “journalists” accompanying Saturday’s surprise invasion have documented a genocide perpetrated against the equivalent in a population of Israel’s size of 40,000 Americans.  Three things are clear: First, there is no negotiating with enemies determined to destroy the Jewish people and their state. Surrendering land like Gaza in the hope of…

Secure Freedom Minute: SFM Joe Biden Has Not Stood with Israel

Joe Biden insists the U.S. stands with Israel – and we must. But, as with Ukraine, he invited this war by not standing with the target of aggression before it happens.  Indeed, Biden has relentlessly undermined Israel since taking office. Until last month, he refused to meet with her leader. He’s encouraged Palestinian ambitions by: restoring funding that supports terrorists…

Secure Freedom Minute: SFM Joe Biden’s Border ”Barn Door”

Futile exercises are often likened to “closing the barn door after the horse is gone.” Joe Biden’s belated efforts to mitigate his destruction of our southern border are akin to shutting it after a herd of Trojan horses have gotten in.  Suddenly, as Democratic politicians repudiate previous commitments to make their constituencies sanctuaries for countless people euphemistically called…

Secure Freedom Minute: A Truly Unholy Alliance

Pope Francis and China’s “emperor,” Xi Jinping, seem to share the goals of  “fundamentally transforming” the Roman Catholic Church and propping up the increasingly imperiled Chinese Communist Party.  This week, the Pope has convened a “synod” in Rome where clerical leaders and, for the first time, women and other “stakeholders” can approve radical doctrinal changes. While the…

Secure Freedom Minute: Trust – a Job Requirement in Congress and the Military

Kevin McCarthy is no longer Speaker because, at the end of the day, a majority of the House of Representatives no longer trusted him. If integrity becomes a job requirement going forward, it will serve the Congress – and the nation – well. The same must apply to the leadership of the U.S. military. In…

Secure Freedom Minute: Speaker McCarthy’s Worthless Word

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz is commendably trying to hold a rogue House Speaker accountable. So, the House of Representatives will soon vote on a motion to fire Kevin McCarthy for successive betrayals of the formal commitments that made him, after fifteen different votes in January, the chamber’s leader, third in line to the presidency. It comes down…

Secure Freedom Minute: ”Elite Capture” and Dianne Feinstein

Senator Dianne Feinstein’s colleagues are eulogizing her decades of path-breaking public service and admirable personal qualities. Unsurprisingly, no mention has been made of one serious defect.   The Chinese Communists call it “elite capture.” She was instrumental in getting China into the World Trade Organization. Her husband got rich doing deals with the PRC. And for…

Secure Freedom Minute: MAGA Doesn’t Threaten ”Democracy,” Joe Biden Does

Yesterday, Joe Biden renewed his attacks on millions of us seeking to make America great again. Reprising themes from last year’s ominous Independence Hall speech, the President declared the “MAGA” movement “does not share the basic beliefs in our democracy [and] would fundamentally alter the institutions of American democracy as we know it.” Such vilification was accompanied…

Secure Freedom Minute: Join the Intervention to Save America’s Military

If addicts are blessed, or simply lucky, people who love them will organize a life-saving intervention. Our informal Save America’s Military Coalition intervened yesterday to expose, and help counter the effects of, toxic Marxist “Kool-Aid” many in our armed forces have gotten hooked on by the three Obama-Biden administrations. Twenty prominent veterans and other patriots…

Secure Freedom Minute: ”Never Again”? Not

History’s greatest crime against humanity is happening now. In fact, the vicious persecution of more than 350 million Christians gets worse by the day and little is being done even to decry, to say nothing of ending, it.  Just last week, Sharia-supremacists in Azerbaijan – no longer content with deliberately starving 120,000 Armenian Christians in a…

Secure Freedom Minute: Team Biden’s Political Warfare Trifecta

Whatever one makes of the evidence prosecutors have presented in their indictment of New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, simply bringing the case has been a trifecta windfall for Team Biden.  First, the administration has already neutralized the most powerful opponent of its appeasement of Iran.  Second, the Senator’s prosecution on charges he received large…

Secure Freedom Minute: Can We Get Our Senate Back?

Legend has it that, in ancient Rome, a mad emperor named Caligula marked the decline of its once-powerful Senate by making his horse a legislator. Today, the free-fall of the U.S. Senate is evident in the now-permitted slovenly attire of a mentally challenged senator.  Far worse is mounting evidence that the Senate is no longer…

Secure Freedom Minute: Did ”World Leaders” Just Greenlight a Global ”Digital Gulag”?

They’re baaaack. The Chinese Communist Party, elements of the U.S. government and assorted other globalists doing business as the World Health Organization who created and/or murderously mismanaged the response to the Wuhan virus want the power to do even worse in the future. Now, as the Biden administration signals it will reestablish mask mandates, compulsory…

Secure Freedom Minute: Eleven Senators Do Their Duty, Reject General Brown

Eleven U.S. Senators demonstrated commendable courage by voting yesterday against the nomination of General C.Q. Brown to become the next Joint Chiefs Chairman. By so doing, they performed their duty to serve as the Quality Control Officers overseeing military promotions and found the man currently serving as the Air Force’s chief operating officer to be…

Secure Freedom Minute: Thank God for the Patriotic Senator Tuberville

Senator Tommy Tuberville is an endangered species in official Washington. That’s not because political hacks – in uniform and out – are taking every imaginable cheap shot at him, including that he is “endangering our national security” by holding up the promotions of some 300 officers. Rather, what makes Coach Tuberville such a rarity is…

Secure Freedom Minute: Will Joe Biden Say Goodbye to Our Sovereignty at the UN

Joe Biden will address the United Nations General Assembly today. Unfortunately, it may be the last time an American president does so as the leader of a sovereign nation. Tomorrow, the chiefs of the UN and the World Health Organization are expected to obtain standing authority to tell the assembled nations what to do.  Specifically,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Ken Paxton is Back

Ken Paxton is back. And that’s a good thing for Texas – and America.  During his tenure as the Lone Star State’s Attorney General, Mr. Paxton has earned a reputation as arguably the most effective and certainly the most influential conservative AG in the country. In addition to his own aggressive defense of constitutional rights…

Secure Freedom Minute: The Next JCS Chairman Must Not Enable CCP Suborning of our Troops

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Air Force Chief of Staff General C.Q. Brown warned his subordinates in writing last week about Chinese Communist attempts to recruit serving personnel and veterans. The reason given is the interest the People’s Liberation Army has in honing its understanding of U.S. military capabilities and practices…

Secure Freedom Minute: Joe Will Go

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s announcement yesterday that the House will launch a formal impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden surely starts the countdown to the President’s early departure from office.  Of course, the Senate seems unlikely to convict when, not if, the House impeaches this Chief Executive for bribery,…
