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…
While the world’s attention is focused on Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the likelihood grows that ominous conflicts will erupt elsewhere, as well. The obvious one will involve the Chinese Communists moving against Taiwan, either directly and forcefully or via a flanking maneuver, blockade and or other coercive, non-kinetic techniques including cyber, information and economic warfare.…
Joe Biden’s Gaslight of the Union Tuesday was riddled with falsehoods and deflections. Particularly striking, however, was his failure to mention even once Communist China. That’s like having your doctor examine you for Covid, but not discuss your stage-five cancer. We can speculate about why the Commander-in-Chief would completely leave out of what was supposed…
News Flash: Joe Biden did not deliver the State of the Union last night. Instead, the man who plays the President of the United States on TV presented the Gaslight of the Union. Virtually the entire speech before a joint session of Congress and a national – indeed, global – audience was a clearly poll-tested…
Joe Biden’s State of the Union address tonight will likely feature promises of more federal spending aimed at advancing the radical left’s “fundamental transformation” of our country and spinning of his administration’s abysmal foreign policies. A shocking “60 Minutes” segment aired on Sunday should prompt Mr. Biden to include in his remarks several concrete and…
Fifty years ago this month, President Richard Nixon went to Communist China. The object was what his successors of both parties have done ever since – namely, seeking China’s assistance with some American priority or another, from countering the Soviet threat to help in ending the Vietnam war to opening markets to mitigating climate change.…
