Secure Freedom Minute: An Urgent Warning of a Potentially Fatal Condition – ”China Blindness”

In the intelligence business, “indicators and warnings” aregenerally relied upon to predict dangerous developments. Rarely, does a senior intelligence professional publicly warn that his nation is “blind” to key indicators of impending disaster. Yet, that is precisely what Rear Admiral Michael Studeman, the U.S. Navy’s top intelligence officer, did on February 15 th with a speech in…

Secure Freedom Minute: CCP-captured Elites Must be Exposed, Not Protected

Rep. Kevin McCarthy pledged to voters last fall that, if the Republicans won the House, they would address the mortal threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. He promised to create a special committee to lead that effort.    Last month, the “Select Committee on the Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party”…

Secure Freedom Minute: Defund Biden’s Commissars Now!

The hallmark of a Communist regime is the presence of political commissars throughout every government agency. Their sole responsibility is to assure the faithful compliance of the bureaucracy to the dictates of the Leader.   Joe Biden recently issued an Executive Order designed to establish what amount to commissars throughout the U.S. government. They will run…

Secure Freedom Minute: Michele Bachmann Stands Up for our Sovereignty; Will You?

Even though Michele Bachmann is no longer a conservative leader in Congress, she continues to strive to protect our country from all enemies, foreign and domestic.  In a great new interview with “Economic War Room” host Kevin Freeman, Ms. Bachmann warns about an impending, stealthy and disastrous surrender of American sovereignty by Joe Biden. His administration is…

Secure Freedom Minute: We Need Deterrence, Not More Arms Control Delusions

Vladimir Putin really hit Joe Biden where he lives yesterday in the Russian dictator’s “State of the Nation” address. He suspended Russia’s adherence to the Obama-era New START Treaty that Biden extended early in his presidency to 2026.    Throughout Joe’s five decades in Washington, there have been few politicians more obsessed with promoting Kremlin-backed arms…

Secure Freedom Minute: Don’t Let Biden Surrender Ukraine’s Sovereignty – and Ours

Joe Biden surprised everyone by flying to Ukraine last weekend where, among other things, he professed his undying commitment to that country’s national sovereignty.   As it happens, this President and his subordinates are in the process of surrendering Ukraine’s sovereignty – which is a fancy term for freedom, both a country and its people’s.   That’s…

Secure Freedom Minute: Two Great Presidents – and the Worst Ever

This day when we honor two of America’s greatest presidents seems like a good moment to reflect on the incumbent who is shaping up to be the worst in our nation’s history.  Joe Biden’s tenure to date is, after all, an unbroken litany of disastrous policies. To name a few: The destruction of our southern…

Secure Freedom Minute: The CCP Is Not ”Competing” with Us, It’s at War

President Biden finally spoke to the nation yesterday after two weeks of disorderly conduct by his administration regarding the Chinese spy balloon and other, as-yet unidentified aerial objects. It wasn’t very illuminating, other than to impress on us again that we’re in “competition” with the Chinese Communist Party – ignoring the fact that the CCP…

Secure Freedom Minute: Have They No Shame?

There is a tradition in public life that has for too long been honored in the breach. It comes down to this: If you hold high office and perform your duties incompetently, dishonorably or otherwise disastrously, it behooves you to take responsibility and resign. Today, there are myriad examples of instances in which such a…

Secure Freedom Minute: With Stephen Bryen and Christine Douglass-Williams

STEPHEN BRYEN, Senior Fellow, Center for Security Policy An overview of the balloons flying over the U.S. in recent weeks What data could China have obtained from this balloon? How would U.S. financial aid to Ukraine impact the security of Taiwan? The impact of supply chain issues on U.S. military readiness CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS, Nine-time international…

Secure Freedom Minute: We Cannot Trust Joe – and He Must Go

The legitimacy of the leadership of a constitutional Republic like ours isn’t just a question of the integrity of the election by which the president came to power. On that score alone, Joe Biden would be “challenged.”  We now have many other grounds for a lack of confidence in the Commander-in-Chief: Biden’s senility, for one.…

Secure Freedom Minute: With Bradley Thayer, Bill Walton and Daniel Greenfield

BRADLEY THAYER, Director of China Policy, Center for Security Policy, Author, How China Sees the World  News of more “objects” being shot down over the United States Why did China send a balloon initially? The importance of the U.S. submarine fleet for defending the Indo-Pacific BILL WALTON, Host, The Bill Walton Show Wall Street’s emphasis on ESG investing Why…

Secure Freedom Minute: Defend America Once Again

Reports that our sovereign air space is being repeatedly penetrated, and that it has evidently been going on unnoticed for some time, are profoundly unsettling. Unfortunately, they highlight a serious national vulnerability heretofore unknown to most Americans. That vulnerability arises from the fact that, after President Nixon signed the U.S.-Soviet Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 1972,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Is Deterrence Failing with the CCP?

Lately, it seems every day brings a shoot-down of some unmanned flying object in our air space. The military has thus far given few details about what our fighter aircraft have intercepted. So, we can’t be sure that they are – like the balloon recently forced into U.S. territorial waters off South Carolina – Chinese…

Secure Freedom Minute: Get YOUR Balloon Damage Assessment Here

In closed door sessions yesterday, the Biden administration finally briefed Congress about the Chinese Communist Party’s latest addition to its comprehensive “unrestricted warfare” against our country.   Lawmakers who spoke afterwards seemed properly dissatisfied that enough was done to protect our nation and population against the extensive espionage conducted by a high-altitude balloon – to say…

Secure Freedom Minute: Did Biden Channel Reagan’s Pipeline Coup?

Seymour Hersh, a journalist with a checkered record of sensational, but not always accurate, reporting claims that on September 26, 2022, a covert action ordered by President Joe Biden blew up three of four Russian undersea pipelines known as Nordstream 1 and 2. Based upon what appears to be a single source, Hersch describes how months earlier,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Joe Biden Supports Election Deniers – in Israel

Last night, Joe Biden reprised in the Capitol the false narrative that election deniers brought us an insurrection aimed at overthrowing our government.   The President neglected to mention that his administration is simultaneously intervening in Israel to support leftists denying the results of the election that brought Bibi Netanyahu back to power with a mandate…

Secure Freedom Minute: ”The State of Biden’s Disunion”

Tonight, we’ll hear a speech that purports to describe the State of the Union. Unfortunately, it’s predictable that it will further exacerbate what might best be called the state of Biden’s disunion. After all, no president in modern American history has done more than Joe Biden to foster and intensify divisions between this nation’s people…

Secure Freedom Minute: Lessons from Beijing’s Balloon Belligerence

On January 28th, the Chinese Communist Party sent a spy balloon into our airspace. It took President Biden until February 1st to order that it be shot down, which finally occurred on February 4th after its surveillance mission was complete. This episode offers two notable insights: First, the balloon is kaput, but not the rest of the CCP’s…

Secure Freedom Minute: ”The Balloon Goes Up”

“When the balloon goes up” is military slang for the start of a shooting war. The Chinese Communist Party has literally sent a very large balloon up to collect intelligence over sensitive sites in the continental United States and the Biden administration’s refusal to shoot it down invites actual hostilities.   Presumably, a determination to…
