President Biden is reportedly so frustrated that Senator Joe Manchin has stymied his so-called “climate change agenda” that he is prepared to declare a state of emergency to implement it without congressional action. Exactly what that would mean is unclear. Presumably, sweeping measures will be mandated because President Biden insists, “the science is settled” and…
Roger Robinson helped Ronald Reagan defeat the Soviet Union, the last totalitarian Communist regime that threatened to destroy America. Central to that accomplishment was a comprehensive effort to cut off the Kremlin’s cash flow from Western sources. Today, Mr. Robinson is warning about what he says may be “the largest financial scandal in world history.”…
All other things being equal, we now know the answer to Benjamin Franklin’s famous admonition about whether we’ll be able to “keep” our constitutional republic. New polling data suggests that, unless something dramatic changes among a generation or two of younger Americans, in due course, we will surrender our sovereignty, freedoms and country to new…
Joe Biden is promoting Palestinian aspirations with symbolic gestures, bad precedents and squandering millions of taxpayer dollars on the illegitimate Mahmoud Abbas and the terrorists of Hamas. As it happens, both are committed to the destruction of Israel, and inciting violence against it. The President would, nonetheless, have us believe that he is committed to the Jewish State’s security. …
The U.S. and Israeli governments declared for the umpteenth time today that Iran will not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. It ain’t necessarily so. Israel’s Interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid is a leftist up for election. He’s happy to have a paper pretext not to act in the only way that will, at this…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Heartbreaking video from inside Uvalde elementary school documenting the protracted failure of police to stop the slaughter underway there is prompting afresh disbelief and fury at the officers involved. What on earth were they thinking? After weeks of conflicting official descriptions of what went down, this…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Last night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson delivered a searing indictment of Joe Biden and his presidency. He makes a compelling case that our Commander-in-Chief is deeply and perilously compromised by the Chinese Communist Party. That’s translated into Biden’s material help to our mortal enemy in…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Joe Biden takes his wrecking operation to the Mideast this week. Wonder what harm he can do? Think Afghanistan on steroids. My colleague, David Wurmser, has just published a brilliant analysis of the dangers arising from Biden’s diminishing of Arab perceptions of the United States as…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Joe Biden’s policies at home and abroad have two things in common: They are bad for America and serve the interests of the Chinese Communist Party. It now appears that’s not just two sides of the same coin, but of twenty pieces of silver. For example,…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Barack Obama once outrageously diminished his office and our nation by bowing when he greeted the Saudi king. Joe Biden is widely expected shortly to repeat such submissiveness – figuratively, if not literally – when he pleads with the Kingdom’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. For years, we have been warning about the inevitable consequences of presidents of both parties since Ronald Reagan neglecting Latin America. Mostly, it was benign neglect. But sometimes it was actually malign. Either way, it was predictable – and predicted – that the vacuum of power…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. There’s a Chinese Communist product that is as addictive as its fentanyl, and potentially far more deadly. The CCP’s TikTok app has deeply penetrated the youth culture here. And, according to, among others, a member of the Federal Communications Commission, it’s a threat to the national…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Twenty-five years ago today, I was in Hong Kong to witness the surrender of that outpost of the Free World to the Chinese Communist Party. Official festivities couldn’t conceal the palpable sense of abandonment, and foreboding. Hong Kongers intuitively knew the Chinese Communists would crush the…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. When you get a problematic diagnosis of a problem – particularly, one with potential life-and-death repercussions, it’s a good idea to get a second opinion. Rarely has that been more true than with respect to the Chinese Communist Party’s unrestricted warfare against America. Fortunately, a team…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Sweden and Finland have just been admitted to NATO, bringing fresh forces and capabilities to bear at a critical moment. And Tom Cruise is uplifting millions of patriotic Americans and others still rooting for our country with his Top Gun sequel, “Maverick.” That’s the good news.…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. As President Biden confers with other leaders this week, the disconnects between his stewardship of our security and steps being taken by our adversaries should be top of mind. Instead, they’re getting scarcely any attention – especially here at home. Take for example, Biden’s squandering of…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa met virtually last week in what amounted to an ominous throw-down to the United States and its dollar’s privileged status as the world’s reserve currency. The Russians and Chinese have been trying for some time to supplant…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. It’s no secret that domestic terrorists are intent on inflicting violent harm in our country. It turns out, though, they’re not the white supremacists we’re incessantly told are the greatest threat. Instead, they are anarchists and Marxists who have seized on the impending Supreme Court ruling…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Just as the danger posed by the Chinese Communist Party is reaching unprecedented heights, the Biden State Department has chosen an “Old Friend” of China to manage the bilateral relationship. Evidently, Hunter Biden wasn’t available. Instead, Tom Donilon got the gig. As Barack Obama’s national security…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. There may be a worse time for Joe Biden to pay a visit to the Middle East, but it is hard to think of one. The government of Israel has just fallen, its parliament disbanded and the fifth round of elections in three years called for…
