Last night, a federal judge ordered President Trump to restore the White House press passes of CNN, MSNow and Politico, saying his denying them the opportunity to cover him was likely unconstitutional.
Mr. Trump will surely appeal that ruling, given his utter contempt for the “fake news” they in particular practice.
Amidst this furor, the President stood up for press freedom in response to collusive and coercive efforts by CNN, MsNow and putatively conservative Fox News to black out “pool” coverage of his official activities. Mr. Trump gave that responsibility instead, at least temporarily, to Real America’s Voice.
I’ve been proud to have a show called “Securing America” on that network for six years. But never more than today as it stepped up to perform that important public service and, in so doing, emerged as the full – but far more reliable – peer of what passes for America’s “mainstream media.”

President Trump has lately been warning Americans about the resurgent threat posed by Communists determined to destroy our country. His focus has been on so-called “Democratic Socialists of America,” an unabashed Communist organization now being embraced by Democrats as their allies, ground game and even candidates.
This week, however, Mr. Trump will be spending a lot of time with the world’s top Communist, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. If anything, his admonitions about the toxic nature and menace posed by Marxists apply in spades to his guest.
Indeed, a two-hour special on Steve Bannon’s War Room program yesterday described the actual, “unrestricted” war Xi and his predecessors have long waged against the USA.
For all these reasons, the United States must hold the Chinese Communist accountable and resist – not ignore, let alone accommodate – his agenda of destroying America.

It’s ominous that the U.S. Air Force has decided to shut down its small, but highly valued, team monitoring Mandarin-language information about the rapidly growing threat posed by its Chinese counterpart.
Is the closure of the China Aerospace Studies Institute and, apparently, its Navy and Army counterparts, part of a wider effort to appease the Chinese Communist Party during Xi Jinping’s state visit here this week? Our Committee on the Present Danger: China will be critically examining such prospects in the course of a two-hour special this afternoon on Steve Bannon’s War Room program.
What’s clear is that the U.S. military needs more and better insights into the evolving Chinese menace. And Xi needs to be disabused of any notion that we will be unilaterally disarming in his longstanding “unrestricted warfare” against us – which must end now.

President Trump meets this week with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. American patriots are praying A he will use both occasions to illuminate and resist their efforts to take down our country, and showcase the common cause they and their friends are making to that end.
Mamdani is a member of Democratic Socialists of America, an avowedly Communist organization. It has, moreover, longstanding ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its subversive United Front Work Department, a prime-mover behind China’s “capture” of U.S. elites and “unrestricted warfare” against us.
Mr. Trump is rightly warning the electorate about the rising threat posed by Communists inside America. He must resist the temptation to send a contradictory message that they are actually people with whom we can safely do business, rather than enemies, foreign and domestic.

There are rumors that President Trump may not be meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping next week due to the Communist emperor’s failing health. We should be so lucky.
The truth is, if Xi does come to Washington, he inevitably will be lauded and probably rewarded – despite the fact that his regime is directly responsible for the mass murder of more Americans than all our other enemies combined.
That’s because the Chinese Communist Party’s weapons of choice in its decades-long “unrestricted warfare” against the USA have been chemical and biological ones. Xi’s weaponization of fentanyl, increasingly nitazenes and the Covid-19 plague have killed over a million and a half Americans.
Unless Xi is held accountable for such crimes against humanity, no good can come from allowing him to take a victory lap here.

A National Public Radio interview today denounced Republican politicians’ rhetoric characterized as “anti-Muslim hate” and “bigotry.”
It was a classic exercise in disinformation, effectively serving the “civilization jihad” waged by the Muslim Brotherhood in accordance with its secret plan to “destroy Western civilization from within.”
By casting Muslims as victims and castigating those warning about the actual hate of infidels required by Islam’s strategy for conquest known as sharia, NPR isn’t reporting the news. Instead, “public radio” is helping our enemies within obscure it.
Notably, host Leila Fadel falsely asserted that sharia is just “Islamic rules for the way practicing Muslims live their life.”
NPR owes it to the American people to give equal time to truth-tellers about sharia – and an end to the help it’s giving to the stealth jihadists making ominous inroads in “superimposing” it here.
