Secure Freedom Minute: Tim Cook and Treachery for Profit

A Sunday New York Times profile of outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook implicitly confirmed his status as the preeminent member of what the Communist Chinese contemptuously call our “captured elite.” In practice, that means he and his company profited immeasurably by systematically betraying this country.  Patrick McGee, the author of Apple in China, wrote: “Based…

Secure Freedom Minute: Expose and Reject the “Red-Green Axis”

The term “Red-Green axis” describes the improbable, but very real, collusion between radical leftists and sharia-supremacist Muslims. Despite myriad differences, they collaborate here, animated by a shared goal of destroying our constitutional Republic.  While examples of such cooperation abound, Texas has lately been a locus of particularly insidious ones. For instance, in recent days, hard…

Secure Freedom Minute: The Fight for Freedom Takes Center Stage in Dallas

Last night, a packed hall in Dallas celebrated the fight to defeat sharia’s stealth jihad against Western Civilization and five men at its forefront.  This is our time’s “existential threat” to liberty and in Texas – and, indeed, the rest of America – we must learn from the mistakes Great Britain and most of Europe…

Secure Freedom Minute: Freedom’s Four Horsemen of the Counter-Jihad

Tonight, four extraordinary patriots – three American, one British – will join forces to help Save Texas and Save America from the threat sharia-supremacism poses to both, and Western civilization more generally.  The event will take place in Dallas and feature remarks by the U.K.’s Tommy Robinson and U.S. Congressmen Keith Self and Chip Roy…

Secure Freedom Minute: The SPLC is a Hate Group

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been formally charged with fraud at the expense of its many donors and to the public’s detriment. It’s about time. The SPLC allegedly paid informants in organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, effectively aiding the very “hate groups” it professes to oppose.  I can attest from hard personal…

Secure Freedom Minute: Just Say “No” to Virginia’s Unfair Redistricting

As a resident of Virginia, I voted “No” this morning on the stunning power-grab that commonwealth’s Democrats are trying to pass. If you’re an eligible Virginia voter, I encourage you to vote “No” as well in the course of this Election Day. At issue is a constitutional amendment that would gerrymander the current congressional districts…

Secure Freedom Minute: “Call Sign Courage” Confirms There ARE Enemies Within

In one of history’s most insidious and impactful acts of information warfare, Soviet Communist influence operatives successfully defeated Senator Joseph McCarthy’s efforts to expose their penetration of the U.S. government.  Even though McCarthy was correct, his name was made synonymous with false allegations of imagined internal threats –creating a societal norm that there are no…

Secure Freedom Minute: Pope Leo is Betraying the Faithful

In recent days, President Trump and Pope Leo have had very public disagreements about, among other things, the justness of the war with Iran.  It turns out that Leo is a leftist who, despite his American roots, is more comfortable currying favor with totalitarians than opposing them.  For example, the Pope has continued his predecessor’s…

Secure Freedom Minute: We Must Win the Race to the Moon – and Defend It

China is reportedly using space assets to help target Iran’s attacks on American personnel, equipment and regional allies.  Unfortunately, such weaponization of space against us is but a small foretaste of what Chinese dictator Xi Jinping has in the works. Especially concerning is his determination to get “boots” on the lunar ground before we return…

Secure Freedom Minute: With Friends Like These…

President Trump has a lot of legitimate complaints at the moment about our so-called “allies.” A number of them have refused our use of bases we pay for, permission to fly through their airspace, and help with the Strait of Hormuz, upon which they rely far more than we do for access to energy. Such…

Secure Freedom Minute: A Victory for Education In – and About – America

In the course of last week, an epic struggle took place in Austin, Texas with potentially far-reaching implications for the country as a whole. At issue is the character and content of social studies curricula that will be used to teach millions of K-12 children in that state, and perhaps another twenty across the USA…

Secure Freedom Minute: Hooray for Trump’s Blockade of Iran

Twenty-one hours of bilateral negotiations between a U.S. delegation led by Vice President J.D. Vance and one comprised of ruthless Iranian jihadists came to naught over the weekend. To paraphrase the Veep, that’s the good news. The even better news is that President Trump has responded by announcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz…

Secure Freedom Minute: Negotiate with a Different Iranian Government

Negotiations between the Iranian regime and the Trump administration resume in Pakistan this weekend. Vice President J.D. Vance heads the U.S. delegation and is clearly determined to stop the fighting.  Hard experience with such diplomacy over the past four decades makes one thing clear: Parleying with Iran’s sharia-supremacists may – I repeat, may – give…

Secure Freedom Minute: The Texas Curriculum Fight Will Affect

President Reagan warned that “Every generation faces an existential threat to freedom” and that our country must be protected from it and passed on to the next generation to do the same.  The Texas State Board of Education is currently deciding about a social studies curriculum for K-12 students. In my testimony on Tuesday, I…

Secure Freedom Minute: You Can’t Play Chicken with an Apocalyptic Regime

Yesterday, President Trump stepped back from his promise to devastate the infrastructure of Iran essential not only to its military, but the civilian population, as well. If we want the Iranian people’s help, this was a necessary course-correction. The truth is, moreover, you cannot play chicken with an apocalyptic regime. This one’s leaders and loyalists…

Secure Freedom Minute: Don’t Let the CCP Seize the Moon

Artemis II’s overflight of the moon’s dark side has gotten most attention. But the mission’s most important target is the lunar south pole. It happens to be that of the Chinese Communist Party, too.  Who gets there first will likely determine who controls not only its water resources. They can be used to support a…

Secure Freedom Minute: CAIR is a Terrorist Organization, Putting Those Materially Supporting It at Risk

Last year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and its Council on American Islamic Relations front as terrorist organizations. One might be forgiven for thinking that would put CAIR out of business, at least in Texas.  CAIR’s business is supporting the Brotherhood’s sharia-supremacism and, in particular, its Palestinian franchise Hamas, a federally designated…

Secure Freedom Minute: Help Equip Our Kids to Cherish America

Next Tuesday, the Texas State Board of Education will cast votes with potentially profound and far-reaching implications for students across America. That’s because publishers sell nationwide the textbooks used to teach Texans’ curriculums. So, if Texas’ State Board of Education sticks with a patriotic framework for K-12 social studies that it adopted last year and…

Secure Freedom Minute: Spare Us the “CAIR Curriculum”

On March 3rd, 1.9 million Texans voted to prohibit sharia law in their state. Next Tuesday, the Council on American Islamic Relations intends to win a vote involving just fifteen people, insinuating sharia’s agenda into textbooks used in Texas and across the country.  The occasion is an April 7th hearing and vote in the State Board…
