The House of Representatives voted last week to correct some of the most egregious examples of the Marxist-makeover currently afflicting our military men and women. The Senate will shortly consider its version of the National Defense Authorization Act. Tragically, Democrats in the majority there eneare expected to endorse racist, merit-crushing “diversity” priorities, “transgender” accommodations that…
Out of the blue, President Biden yesterday called up elements of America’ military reserves. What’s up with that? Ostensibly, it’s to shore up our forces in Europe. But are they meant for a shooting war in Ukraine, without congressional approval or public support? Alternatively, are the reserves intended to paper over the military’s acute recruiting crisis and…
Suddenly, the nation must confront critical decisions: In upcoming votes on the House of Representatives’ annual defense authorization act, Republicans will try to counter the radical left’s “fundamental transformation” of the U.S. military. Most Democrats, however, are expected to contend that government funding for racist quotas and indoctrination, transgender accommodations in the uniformed services, abortion-related…
Yesterday, the Senate Armed Services Committee politely thanked and gingerly questioned President Biden’s nominee to be the nation’s next top officer. It wasn’t until two Senators broke what appears to be a taboo that the elephant in the room – namely, the radicalism of General Charles “C.Q.” Brown and his Commander-in-Chief’s agenda for “transforming” the…
Last Friday, the U.S. Army finished destroying the last of America’s stockpile of chemical weapons. The Biden administration and other arms control enthusiasts boasted about the success of an international ban called the Chemical Weapons Convention, and disarmament agreements more generally. What it actually demonstrates is the delusion of believing that – especially wholly unverifiable accords like…
Four decades ago, I helped staff the Senate Armed Services Committee in supporting Ronald Reagan’s reversal of Jimmy Carter’s budget cuts that had “hollowed out” the U.S. military. Tomorrow, that panel has an opportunity to begin an even more urgently needed salvation of our armed forces. The occasion will be a hearing on the…
One of my longtime friends and valued colleagues is an international energy expert named Gal Luft. These days Dr. Luft might be better known as “David” for he now faces alone the Goliath of a U.S. government determined to crush him to protect President Joe Biden. My money is on David in this fight. Dr.…
We recently published a response to the “unrestricted warfare” Chinese Communists have long waged with help from “captured elites” in this country. It’s called, The Indictment: Prosecuting the Chinese Communist Party & Friends for Crimes against America, China and the World. Yesterday, that prosecution got underway in earnest. The latest webinar sponsored by our Committee on the Present…
There’s a meme making the rounds, showing a tricolored map of France in blue, white and red, only it has a jagged black line running through the middle from north to south. Accompanying this image is the following message, referring to Sharia-supremacist rioting across the country in recent days: “This attack only underscores the need…
In 1944, Adolf Hitler ordered his army to torch Paris rather than let the city be liberated intact. As it became clear he was being disobeyed, the Nazi dictator frantically demanded to know, “Is Paris burning?” Thankfully, it wasn’t then. But the capital of France is burning today, at the hands of adherents to another totalitarian ideology –…
After initially dissembling about the Chinese Communist Party’s weaponization of Cuba, the Biden administration now acknowledges we will soon face not only an expanded PRC signals intelligence operation off our coast. The CCP is also establishing a so-called “military training facility” there. Our Committee on the Present Danger: China identified in a very troubling webinar this week…
Harvard-trained attorney and PhD Francis Boyle is a preeminent academic specializing in international law. For over five decades, he has closely studied treaties and organizations, many of them the product of ambitious utopians seeking to ban war, redistribute power and wealth and otherwise reorder the world. In the course of an extraordinarily yesterday important webinar,…
Three senior Pakistani officers recently lost their jobs on the grounds that they had failed to keep the government’s opponents from launching attacks on the military’s assets. This time, the perpetrators were supporters of an Islamist former prime minister. The next time, they may well be jihadists doing business as the Taliban, ISIS or al…
On Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken was directly asked “Are we going to prevent China from having a military base on the island of Cuba?” Blinken’s word-salad response amounted to an assurance that: “We’ve made clear that this is a real concern.” In short, the Biden administration intends…
Fresh from his pathetic impersonation of a representative of America’s vital national interests in Beijing last week, Secretary of State Tony Blinken appeared on Sunday morning TV shows to comment on tumultuous events in Russia over the last few days. His message was: The Biden administration is “focused on Ukraine.” In fact, Blinken slavishly adhered…
In 1962, the Soviet Union sought to turn Cuba into “a dagger” pointed at America’s heart. Today, a far more dangerous Communist enemy is attempting to do the same. Sixty-one years ago, a Democratic president responded to the Cuban Missile Crisis by blockading the island and threatening to attack the Soviet ballistic missiles being installed…
Finally, Rep. Adam Schiff has been held accountable for his serial lies to the American people, the costly investigations and impeachments they encouraged and the abuse of the power entrusted to him as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee that enabled both. As the late William Safire famously said of Hillary Clinton, Schiff is a…
Hunter Biden once acknowledged that he probably wouldn’t have gotten a board seat with a corrupt Ukrainian oil company if his last name were different. He surely wouldn’t have gotten the sweetheart plea deal announced yesterday if his father weren’t the U.S. President. The immediate question is whether that deal rules out Hunter’s prosecution on other charges.…
The take-away from Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s visit to Beijing this week, including its seven-hour struggle session with China’s top diplomat, is pretty clear: Pax Americana has now been replaced with Post-America. That’s the cumulative effect of Obama-Biden’s three terms pursuing the “fundamental transformation of the United States of America.” The globalists are now…
Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s Juneteenth trip to Beijing has been lowballed as basically a social call to re-open a bilateral “dialogue” with little of substance expected to come of it. Translation: Something is up. It could be that Blinken’s prostrating kow-tow to Xi Jinping will simply permit Joe Biden to do the same with…
