Secure Freedom Minute: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger ”China Initiative”

FBI Director Christopher Wray sounded an urgent alarm yesterday at the Reagan Library. He warned that Communist China is, well, eating our lunch. Thanks to the CCP’s systematic espionage, cyberwarfare, intellectual property theft and active subversion, there is, in Director Wray’s words, “No country that presents a broader threat to our ideas, our innovation, and…

Secure Freedom Minute: Honor – Not Demean – Our Most Powerful Black American

Remarkably, as Black History Month gets underway, the man who is arguably the most powerful black American, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas – having served with distinction in that role for thirty years – is being aggressively denigrated by the left. Its operatives transparently seek to discredit and otherwise diminish a man for being a…

Secure Freedom Minute: We’re Down Two Great Americans

We lost two Great Americans last weekend. Their deaths would have been mourned at any time, but especially so in this perilous moment.   The first was a storied military leader, one-hundred-year-old Army Major General John Singlaub, Jack was a Special Forces warrior who performed extraordinary feats as a member of the Office of Strategic Services…

Secure Freedom Minute: ”The Unnecessary War” 2.0?

Winston Churchill described World War II as the “unnecessary war.” He believed, rightly, that the West’s failure to understand and counter early on the territorial and other hegemonic ambitions of its totalitarian foes made an otherwise avoidable conflict inevitable. That failure was made palpable in the British and French governments’ negotiations with Adolf Hitler behind…

Secure Freedom Minute: Biden’s Kamala Gambit 2.0?

The Biden administration would have us believe that it is robustly opposing a potentially imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, however, Team Biden is sending a very mixed signal to Moscow. As part of its obsession with reaching some new Iran nuclear agreement, U.S. diplomats are reportedly relying on their Russian counterparts…

Secure Freedom Minute: Biden Undermines Deterrence of Putin

The Biden administration would have us believe that it is robustly opposing a potentially imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, however, Team Biden is sending a very mixed signal to Moscow. As part of its obsession with reaching some new Iran nuclear agreement, U.S. diplomats are reportedly relying on their Russian counterparts…

Secure Freedom Minute: Godspeed Sen. Horatius Johnson

According to legend, a single, courageous Roman warrior named Horatius successfully defended a bridge against an invading army, sparing his city from certain destruction. It turns out that we have a Horatius in the U.S. Senate: Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Yesterday, Senator Johnson convened an informal hearing about the Covid-19 virus and the toll it…

Secure Freedom Minute: U.S. Olympians Must Forgo the Beijing Super-spreader

The case for U.S. athletes to skip the Winter Games in Beijing keep growing – and the failure of Olympic authorities to pull the plug becomes ever more egregious. For one thing, the public health crisis that has prompted the Chinese Communist Party to lockdown conservatively seventy million people around the country has reached Beijing,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Putin Knows What Biden ”Meant to Say” on Ukraine

“What the President meant to say” is bureaucratese for damage- limitation when the nation’s Chief Executive makes policy via unscripted pronouncements. It kicked in after Joe Biden signaled during yesterday’s press conference that Russia could use a little military force against Ukraine with impunity. The uproar that ensued on both sides of the Atlantic prompted…

Secure Freedom Minute: Illegal Aliens Don’t Have ”Voting Rights”

There’s a lot of loose talk at the moment about “voting rights.” The question is not so much what those rights are, but who gets to exercise them. And what partisans denouncing Republican state and federal legislators for “suppressing the vote” are really concerned about is that people who are not legal voters will be…

Secure Freedom Minute: Do America’s Athletes ”Care” About Genocide

America’s top athletes are, for better or worse, celebrities. That’s because they not only excel in their sports. Vast followings also can translate press coverage of their musings into ratings.    Thus, when prominent NBA players and owners curry favor with the Chinese Communist Party, their submission of human rights and U.S. interests to profit…

Secure Freedom Minute: MLK’s Assassination 2.0

Today, we are supposed to be celebrating the life and accomplishments of Martin Luther King, tragically cut short by a white supremacist assassin’s bullet. Unfortunately, what we are witnessing in America today is MLK’s assassination 2.0 – this time at the hands of Marxist racists. Consider the radical left’s wholesale repudiation of Dr. King’s most…

Secure Freedom Minute: Who is the Enemy Within?

Over a year after the so-called “insurrection” at the Capitol, the Justice Department has finally, formally accused eleven people with sedition in connection with what happened there on January 6, 2021. The most prominent of those thus charged is Stewart Rhodes, the founder of Oath Keepers, reinforcing the Biden team’s official narrative that our constitutional…

Secure Freedom Minute: How Does North Korea Have Hypersonics We Don’t?

North Korea just demonstrated a missile capability for which the United States has no counterpart. Worse yet, we have no defense against Kim Jong-un’s hypersonic weapon – or for that matter, similar systems now being introduced into the Russian and Chinese arsenals. How could a Communist regime so poor it can’t feed its people obtain…

Secure Freedom Minute: Biden’s Enemy Within is Us

Yesterday, while ostensibly promoting voting rights, Joe Biden declared war on people he explicitly described as domestic enemies. He was not talking about the Marxists and Islamists who have made no secret of their desire to “fundamentally transform” America, replacing via stolen elections or through color revolutions our constitutional Republic with the form of totalitarian…

Secure Freedom Minute: Memo to U.S. Beijing Olympians – Don’t Go There

The New York Times reported yesterday that “Breakouts and lockdowns in Chinese cities make a risk-free Olympics look unlikely.” The obvious advice for American Olympians should be: Don’t Go There. In a clear sign that the Chinese Communist Party is indifferent to international athletes’ wellbeing, however, it is insisting that there will be no delay…

Secure Freedom Minute: The CCP’s Next Super-Spreader Event – The Genocide Games

Next month’s Winter Olympics are called “the Genocide Games” since they’ll legitimate a Chinese Communist Party perpetrating that crime against its own people. That title may literally apply, however, if they become the CCP’s next, athlete-driven super-spreader event, inflicting further genocide worldwide – starting with American and other Olympians. It appears that Military Games held…

Secure Freedom Minute: Paging Frank Capra? Try Beijing

Breitbart.com reported this week that the Chinese Communists claim to have outperformed Hollywood at the global box office. True or not, we mustn’t ignore the importance our mortal enemies assign to winning the culture war. That’s because, as the late, great Andrew Breitbart famously observed, “Politics is downstream from culture.” The CCP’s bid for dominating…
