The tradition of representatives of vassal states “kow-towing” by prostrating themselves before China emperors long predated its practice by the likes of Henry Kissinger and Bill Clinton. But it seems certain to be on display during Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s current mission to Beijing, delayed by what Joe Biden calls “the silly balloon.” What…
Representative Adam Schiff personifies much of what is currently wrong with American politics. The former, highly partisan chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has serially abused power to attack his opponents and lies pretty much whenever he opens his mouth. Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted on a motion to censure Mr. Schiff for such…
The Biden administration has been implicated in funding and otherwise encouraging an actual insurgency in Israel. That means it’s been involved with opposition leaders – including former senior officials – directly working to overthrow Benjamin Netanyahu’s elected governing coalition. There would never be a good time for Team Biden to be encouraging the destabilization of an allied,…
Freedom is an endangered species, thanks to the Chinese Communist Party’s so-called “social credit system.” It utilizes a comprehensive array of advanced surveillance, computing and artificial intelligence technologies to monitor and control its own population. Worse yet, the Chinese Communists and their globalist allies at the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, Big Pharma…
The thoroughly discredited Southern Poverty Law Center just added two new organizations to its list of so-called “hate groups”: “Moms for America” and “Parents Defending Education.” I can attest from hard personal experience that such defamations by the SPLC say vastly more about their perpetrator than its targets. At a minimum, these are acts of…
The Chinese Communist Party’s “capture” of American “elites” has decisively helped Beijing wage “unrestricted warfare” against our country for decades. Especially damaging have been its “old friends” in America’s financial sector who have underwritten with our money the economic and military build-up of the People’s Republic of China. Sequoia Capital’s Neil Shen is one such enabler of…
We got another rude awakening this week about the threat posed to us by the Chinese Communist Party. An Australian think tank revealed the CCP has a “stunning lead” over the United States in the development of 37 out of 44 advanced technologies, many of which have direct military applications. Kiss goodbye to the “qualitative edge” our…
Yesterday, globalists at the European Union and World Health Organization unveiled a “landmark digital health partnership” to “facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats.” We’re promised, moreover, that “This first building block of the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network…will… deliver better health for all.” Actually, what…
In recent days, Chinese military personnel have deliberately endangered American counterparts in international air and sea space. The near-collisions were not simply “unprofessional” or the result of a “failure to communicate.” They are deliberate provocations that eventually will get someone – and maybe a lot of us – killed. The incidents reflect the Chinese Communist Party’s increasing…
Joe Biden wants us to believe that his subordinates’ renewed “dialogues” with Chinese officials are improving bilateral relations damaged by what he has derisively characterized as the “silly balloon.” The President may be deluded, or simply deceiving us. But the reality is very different: The Chinese Communist Party is actually preparing assiduously to complement the…
Kevin McCarthy won a prohibitively costly “victory” yesterday by pushing through the House of Representatives a debt ceiling hike supported by more Democrats than Republicans. After the vote, the Speaker boasted that it was easier to do than he had anticipated. Here’s why: Surrendering generally takes less effort than fighting and prevailing over your partisan…
The sad truth is that too many congressional Republicans amount to little more than a “controlled opposition.” Full of rhetorical posturing but, when it matters, doing basically whatever the left demands. In January, Kevin McCarthy was compelled to promise, if elected Speaker, to oppose – rather than submit to – the Marxists running the executive…
There would never be a good time to say farewell to a magnificent patriot and courageous editorialist, essayist and investigative reporter like my friend, Claudia Rosett. But her loss at this particular moment in the arc of her profession is nothing short of devastating. For decades, Claudia epitomized the working journalist who served as our founders intended…
This day is dedicated to the memory of those who, in Abraham Lincoln’s immortal words, gave our country “the last full measure of devotion” by forfeiting their lives so that she might survive. It is, therefore, a fitting moment to consider whether our fallen heroes would feel betrayed that we think so little of their…
Over the course of the three Obama-Biden terms, the most radical leftist administration in our history has tirelessly pursued the “fundamental transformation of the United States” that then-Senator Barack Obama promised in an unguarded moment on the eve of his first presidential election. This goal is far advanced in our armed forces, thanks to purges…
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton characteristically pulled no punches in recently depicting the subject of special prosecutor John Durham’s investigation this way: “President Trump is a crime victim who was targeted by a seditious conspiracy by Obama, Biden, Clinton and their Deep State allies.” Mr. Durham’s final report, released last week, basically substantiated that conclusion.…
Representative Michele Bachmann may no longer be in the U.S. Congress, but today she is serving our country far more capably than all but a handful of those who are. For the past week, Ms. Bachmann has been forward-deployed in Geneva, Switzerland where she is monitoring the most ambitious element of the Biden administration’s multifaceted…
Last week, the Committee on the Present Danger: China hosted an important webinar entitled, “Is Joe Biden a ‘Controlled Asset’ of the Chinese Communist Party?” Events of this week reinforce our answer in the affirmative. True, Beijing professed unhappiness with the G-7’s discussions in Hiroshima, Japan about the rising threat that the CCP’s continuing “unrestricted warfare” poses to freedom…
On May 17th, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party threat held what may prove to be the most important congressional hearing in a generation. It featured testimony from three men who have made history. Each addressed the unrestricted warfare the CCP has long waged against us. Trump advisor Robert Lighthizer described Beijing’s devastating…
A comedian in Beijing has inadvertently exposed an exploitable vulnerability of the Chinese Communist Party and its dictator-for-life, Xi Jinping: They have very thin skins and are terrified that, if ridiculed, their legitimacy and hold on absolute power will be endangered. They’re right. The popular response to a joke mocking one of Xi’s stupid sayings…
