If freedom-loving people have the opportunity to write the history of our time, they will doubtless decry the immense help that American elites have given to their country’s mortal enemy: the Chinese Communist Party. By some estimates, Wall Street mavens like BlackRock CEO Larry Fink have transferred more than $3 trillion of U.S. investors’ money,…
“No borders. No walls. No USA at all.” That’s the rallying cry – and the agenda – of the radical leftists who have worked with fellow travelers in the Biden administration to open America’s southern border. Now, they are celebrating the announcement that Team Biden is going to remove at the end of May the…
You can tell a lot about a country by how its elites treat children and those who mistreat them. So, it’s ominous that America’s identity politics-obsessed left is promoting a new, favored category: so-called “minor-attracted persons.” This odious practice of excusing pedophiles, child-abusers and sexual predators has been brought to the fore by the Senate’s…
It is hard to overstate the U.S. government’s incoherence with respect to an extremely fraught topic. President Biden declared last week that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.” The White House immediately claimed this was not a call for regime change. But yesterday, Mr. Biden insisted he wasn’t backing away from his original…
In Poland last week, President Biden threw rhetorical matches into a potential nuclear tinder box. His suggestion that the 82nd Airborne would soon be in Ukraine and his subsequent declaration that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” invited preemptive action by the Kremlin. Our PresentDangerChina.org webinar last week established that, given Putin’s doctrine,…
As evidence continues to mount that President Biden is personally, deeply compromised by our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, everything he is doing to help the CCP demands urgent national security scrutiny. Fortunately, eight U.S. Senators have just added a new item to that list – and are calling for corrective action. Last month,…
Senators have established that Katanja Brown Jackson is unfit to serve on the Supreme Court. Will a majority of them now spare us the damage she would do there? Under cross-examination, Judge Jackson has signaled that she has not merely a problematic judicial philosophy, but a radical ideological agenda. Her mask has slipped revealing: an…
Thirty-nine years ago today, my old boss, President Ronald Reagan launched the Strategic Defense Initiative. It was intended to enable the United States to protect its people from nuclear armed missiles, not avenge their mass murder after the fact. Tragically, unbeknownst to most Americans, we still have no comprehensive defense against the vast, and recently…
Amidst Russia’s wholesale destruction of Ukraine, growing trouble much closer to home is getting scant attention. We’re about to lose what’s left of free Latin America to our indigenous and foreign enemies there – with calamitous economic, demographic and national security consequences here. Straws in the wind include Chile’s new Marxist government’s installation of the…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Senate hearings begin today on President Biden’s nominee to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge Katanji Brown Jackson. Since a few Republican Senators supported her recent appointment to the D.C. Appeals Court, this process is expected to be mostly a formality. That…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. President Biden will call his “old friend,” Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping, today conveying – implicitly if not explicitly – an expectation that America thinks Xi can be persuaded to be helpful with Russia, climate change and perhaps other topics. Sorry, wrong number. There is literally…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continued making his rounds of Western legislatures with virtual speeches to a joint session of Congress yesterday and the German Bundestag today, he seemed to have scored at least one potentially significant victory. President Biden has joined him in declaring Russian…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Donald Trump promised we were going to “get tired of winning.” Now, I, for one, am tired of America losing. The latest in a long and growing list of losses devastating our national prestige, honor, prosperity and other vital interests, is the reported deal whereby Communist…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. There’s much talk of a “Great Reset” favored by global capitalists more or less unapologetically admiring of the efficiency of the Chinese Communist Party. The day’s headlines demonstrate that what is needed instead is a “Freedom Reset.” A CCP virus-justified lockdown of China’s key manufacturing hub…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The reason Presidents Reagan and Trump practiced the national security policy they called “peace through strength” is that it works. Alternatives, like Joe Biden’s – which might be called “peace through groveling” – never has. Look no further than Team Biden’s maniacal pursuit of a new…
Vladimir Putin’s forces have attacked Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, including the one synonymous with radioactive disasters: Chernobyl. At particular risk are cooling ponds for spent fuel rods that, if denied electricity to circulate cold water, will see those rods torch-on, spreading radioactivity for many miles downwind and downstream. Unfortunately, we face a similar danger at…
In a world in which tyranny is on the march from Ukraine to China to Latin America, there was an important victory for freedom yesterday. The people of South Korea rejected the presidential candidacy of a pro-North Korea, anti-America Communist. Instead, they elected his conservative opponent, Yoon Suk Yeol, who has pledged to strengthen his…
Vice President Kamala Harris has been dispatched to buck up our NATO partners on the alliance’s eastern front lines. The effect is likely to be further signs of diminished confidence in the United States and slip-sliding away from confrontation with Vladimir Putin’s Russia over Ukraine. For example, on the eve of Harris’ trip to Poland,…
A plausible argument can be made that environmental zealots like Greta Thunberg, the poster-girl of a Children’s Crusade aimed at weaning the world off fossil fuels, helped create today’s soaring energy prices. Western nations are contemplating intensifying this crisis by ending imports from the principal beneficiary of such “green” activism – and one of its…
Tomorrow, yet another vital nation may be lost if the people of South Korea decide to elect a pro-North Korea, anti-America Communist as their next president. Or alternatively, if, despite the majority’s preference for his pro-freedom, conservative opponent, this election – like the parliamentary ones of 2020 – winds up fraudulently giving victory to the…
