Two words describe last night’s presidential debate: Elder abuse. President Biden’s alarming physical appearance, peculiar affect and robotic performance confirmed what’s long been discernable: The man is of an age and mental condition that disqualifies him from serving the next four years in the world’s most demanding job. And those who insist that he run…
Tonight will see the earliest presidential debate in the history of such televised events. The timing raises the suspicion that, if President Biden’s widely documented cognitive disabilities are unmistakably on display, there will still be time for the Democratic Party to engineer a new ticket, replacing both him and his appalling vice president, Kamala Harris.…
House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed last night what has long been obvious. He told Sean Hannity, “The January 6 committee was, we think, wrongfully constituted. We think the work was tainted. We think that they may have very well covered up evidence and maybe even more nefarious activities.” These findings draw on a rigorous…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy just declared “gun violence” a public health emergency. He wants “assault weapons” and magazines holding more than ten bullets banned. Fortunately, for those of us committed to the principle of self-defense and the unalienable, God-given right to “own and bear arms,” our…
Roughly a fifth of the U.S. Senate is comprised of Democrats and Independents up for reelection this fall. Each of them may soon cast a vote that will illuminate their attitudes towards some of the most divisive issues of our time. President Biden wants a radical leftist Oregon judge named Mustafa Taher Kasubhai to…
“Victims of jihad Unite.” That battle-cry should be heard globally as it represents the best hope for enabling people who are being persecuted by Sharia-supremacists – and those determined to spare them further harm – to join forces. The numbers are absolutely staggering. By some estimates, over 300 million Christians are experiencing “heavy persecution” – the…
Half-a-world apart, two imminent conflicts are on the cusp of going critical. Communist China apparently is prepared to have Hezbollah – the foreign legion of its Mideast proxy, Iran – engage in a full-on war with Israel. And the Chinese military is itself now physically attacking Philippine vessels at a place called Second Thomas Shoal.…
The arsonist tag-team of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are busily striking sparks into Asian tinderboxes. The Russian dictator’s current visit to North Korea comes amidst relentless provocations by Kim Jong-un against the South that could precipitate conflict there at any time. Meanwhile, Communist China is provoking a fight with the Philippines, clearly testing…
Team Biden is feverishly trying to deflect attention from its appalling record on border insecurity. It would have us believe that Joe Biden: is committed to keeping illegal aliens out of the country; has just taken important steps to do that; and is being thwarted by Republican failure at the insistence of Donald Trump to…
Scott Perry is one of the most formidable members of the U.S. House of Representatives. I am proud to call him a cherished personal friend. Scott has devoted much of his life to public service as a Pennsylvania legislator and a combat pilot in the Army National Guard who retired after nearly four decades…
Today is Flag Day and an appropriate occasion to reflect on the diminished presence of warships and other vessels proudly displaying ours on the world’s oceans – and an ominous consequence: Freedom of the seas is being increasingly threatened by the presence instead of hostile powers’ navies and what amount to pirates in strategic choke…
What’s the single most debilitating of Joe Biden’s betrayals of America? Candidates include: destroying our borders, eviscerating our energy security, feeding inflation and enabling “global governance.” A particularly insidious contender is the prospect that Team Biden will end the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency. Every American will suffer from, for example, its…
Freedom’s flame burns a little less brightly today. Last night, America lost a man who loved liberty passionately and tirelessly used his enormous talents as an entertainer to help secure it. His name was Tony Lo Bianco and I was proud to call him a dear friend and mentor. In the course of a…
The UN Security Council yesterday unanimously approved a U.S.-sponsored resolution it claims will bring peace to the Gaza Strip and Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. To add insult to great strategic injury of our most important ally, the Biden administration insists this is an Israeli plan. In fact, this phased plan is a fraud. It is not Israel’s proposal. …
The Washington Post has accused my friend Russ Vought of pursuing a “post-constitutional” agenda. This is but the latest, if a particularly scurrilous, example of the Left’s technique of accusing others of what they are doing. Unlike too many in official Washington these days, Russ has consistently lived up to the oath he took during his extensive and…
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The third Obama-Biden administration continues to exhibit the influence of Saul Alinsky on his community-organizing acolyte, Barack Obama. Indeed, the last and most famous of Alinsky’s thirteen Rules for Radicals is being weaponized today more aggressively than ever. It reads: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it,…
Eighty years ago today, allied forces valiantly fought their way onto the beaches of Normandy. We honor all those whose service and sacrifice produced the unconditional surrender of the Nazis – and, in due course, the imperial Japanese – whose aggression ignited a world war. The planet’s complete liberation would take another year. The…
This week marked the 35th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party’s massacre of thousands of pro-freedom activists in Beijing’s Tienanmen Square. Tragically, that sacrifice did not result in the liberation of their countrymen. To the contrary, the George H.W. Bush administration actually helped ensure the survival of the CCP regime by sending then-National Security…
Israel is burning. Hezbollah missiles and drones are aimed at turning her northern areas into open-air crematoria while arsonists put to the torch forests elsewhere in the Jewish state that have been painstaking and proudly cultivated by generations of Israelis. Such attacks are not simply occurring as the Biden administration relentlessly undermines the government…
