Secure Freedom Minute: If Joe Biden’s Not in Charge, Who Is?

Even before Joe Biden’s alarming performance in a CNN Townhall event on Wednesday, a recent poll found 56 percent of the American people believe he is not in charge. That percentage can only have grown further in its aftermath. If Mr. Biden isn’t actually performing as our nation’s Chief Executive, who is? Since the agenda…

Secure Freedom Minute: End Tony Fauci’s Malfeasance

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky contended this week that Dr. Anthony Fauci lied under oath when he previously denied having funded dangerous research in a Communist Chinese Party biological weapons lab. But Dr. Fauci did use taxpayer money to underwrite “gain of function” bio-engineering in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, producing a coronavirus that has…

Secure Freedom Minute: Who Lost Peru? Joe Biden Did

Yesterday, Pedro Castillo, a Marxist with ties to the Shining Path terrorist group and an affinity for the interests of drug traffickers, was declared to have won a fraud-fraught election for the presidency of Peru. Latin America now faces the distinct prospect of yet-another promising developing country misruled and bankrupted by a Communist regime –…

Secure Freedom Minute: Focus on – and Deter – the CCP’s Dangerous Capabilities

It’s a grave mistake for intelligence services and security policymakers to obsess about hostile powers’ intentions, instead of their actual capabilities to act aggressively. Most immediately, we need to focus less on whether the Chinese Communist Party intends at the moment to go to war than on whether it is prepared to do so. What…

Secure Freedom Minute: Silence is Consent about the CCP’s Capturing of Nations

For six decades, every U.S. president has recognized the third week in July as “Captive Nations Week.” Joe Biden’s team –  a group deeply compromised by what is today the principal perpetrator of such transnational repression, namely the Chinese Communist Party – however, is reportedly contemplating abandoning such a statement of solidarity with the enslaved.…

Secure Freedom Minute: Required Viewing – Tucker’s Epic Talk with Jon Voight

Like millions of Americans, I have become a huge fan of Tucker Carlson. His truth-telling monologues and conversations with courageous guests who do the same keep hope alive like the U.S.-sponsored dissidents and defectors’ Cold War broadcasts behind the Iron Curtain. Tucker posted yesterday on his extraordinary new Fox Nation program what I consider to…

Secure Freedom Minute: US Capitalists Must Stop Their Risky Business with the CCP

The State Department has just issued a much-needed warning to Wall Street and other corporate enablers of the Chinese Communist Party. It served notice that those involved in supply chains or other business dealings in western China are “highly likely” to be violating U.S. law. That’s because the Chinese Communists are engaged there in such…

Secure Freedom Minute: Stand with Freedom in Cuba – and Peru

Thousands of courageous Cubans have taken to the streets across their country calling for freedom from Communism and an end to the brutal regime that has imposed it upon them for decades. Free Cuba’s friends throughout this country urged the Biden administration to express solidarity with the counter-revolutionaries in the hope, at last, of liberating…

Secure Freedom Minute: The CCP is a Threat, Not a Partner on “Climate Change”

Forty leftist non-governmental organizations want the Biden-Harris administration to turn a blind-eye to the Chinese Communist Party’s crimes against humanity and its growing economic and military threats to us and the rest of the world. Using rhetoric that mirrors the Chinese Communists’ propaganda line, their joint letter asserts that climate change imperils the world, U.S.…

Secure Freedom Minute: What will the Actual CINC Do When Biden Proves Wrong on Afghanistan?

A recent poll found that a majority of Americans believe Joe Biden is not in charge. His remarks yesterday about the end next month of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan reinforce that realistic perception. Notably, the apparent Commander-in-Chief-in-name-only assured us the Taliban is “highly unlikely” to own the whole country. He said there’s “no circumstance”…

Secure Freedom Minute: Donald Trump’s Fight with Big Tech is America’s Fight

Yesterday, Donald Trump reasserted the sort of robust national leadership that was the hallmark of his presidency and that has been sorely lacking of late. He is the lead class representative in a massive class-action lawsuit against Big Tech for suppressing his free speech and that of untold others. The suit exposes an obvious, but…

Secure Freedom Minute: Red Alert – Paging U.S. Counter-intelligence

Congress increasingly recognizes that the Chinese Communist Party poses a mortal peril to our country and the rest of the world, which it seeks to dominate. Both houses have just approved bipartisan bills to counter the CCP’s advantages in key technologies with ominous military applications. Thus, legislators should also weigh in on the Chinese Communists’…

Secure Freedom Minute: Western Media are Dangerously MIA on the CCP Threat

Last week, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Transnational Criminal Organization doing business as the Chinese Communist Party with a speech notable for its overtly menacing content. Xi’s nationalist diatribe threatened Taiwan and warned the rest of the world of dire consequences if they challenged his country’s “Steel…

Secure Freedom Minute: Stop Vaccine Passports

The 100th anniversary of the founding of history’s most murderous transnational criminal organization was a fitting occasion to consider the Chinese Communist Party’s state-of-the-art totalitarianism, and what it means for us. A webinar I moderated yesterday on so-called “vaccine passports” established that requiring digital proof of Covid-19 vaccination would enable the Chinese Communists’ “social credit…

Secure Freedom Minute: Donald Rumsfeld R.I.P.

America lost one of its most remarkable men this week. Donald Rumsfeld served his country with distinction in uniform, in the Congress, as NATO ambassador and in such key executive branch positions as White House Chief of Staff and twice as Secretary of Defense. “Rummy” was equally impressive during his time as a successful business…

Secure Freedom Minute: Stop Helping the CCP Compete with Us

The House of Representatives on Monday joined the U.S. Senate in authorizing enormous investments to restore this country’s competitiveness vis a vis the increasingly high technology threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party and its so-called “civil-military fusion” strategy. It’s about time. We can’t compete effectively, however, if members of our team are playing for…

Secure Freedom Minute: Honor the Oath to Defend Our Constitution

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has made clear his determination to root out racism and extremism from the ranks of the U.S. military. Unless, that is, the racism is black supremacism and the extremism is Marxist in character. In those cases, service personnel exhibiting such behavior are evidently immune from criticism and the sorts of…

Secure Freedom Minute: Pray that Dong Jingwei is Safely Here – And Stays That Way

Rumors are flying that one of the most important enemy spies in U.S. history has defected to the Defense Intelligence Agency. If true, his debriefings could prove a tremendous boon to our national security – and potentially the death knell for the Biden presidency. The defector is reportedly Dong Jingwei, China’s highest ranking counter-intelligence officer.…

Secure Freedom Minute: Afghan Leaders have 1975 Saigon on Their Minds

One of the most searing images in America’s military history is that of untold numbers of terrified South Vietnamese civilians trying to board the last helicopter on the roof of our embassy in Saigon in April 1975. It captured both our nation’s humiliating political defeat in the war there at the hands of impoverished, but…
