Secure Freedom Minute

It seems appropriate that we technically have two Veterans Days this year because – whether we know it or not – a lot more Americans are likely soon to be veterans as we have entered World War III.
Arguably, that is because we have failed to remember three fundamental principles we should have learned from all our previous wars:   
First, “peace through strength” works. Alternatives do not.
Second, if you treat your enemies better than your friends, you will not only have more enemies. They will be at your throat.
And third, there are such things as “enemies within.” 
The three Obama-Biden administrations have succeeded in “fundamentally transforming” America by – among many other wrecking operations – abandoning these principles. They have: systematically weakened us; empowered and emboldened our foes; and actually proliferated our enemies inside this country.
Honor our veterans, and prepare to join them.

Wartime leaders from Abraham Lincoln to Franklin Roosevelt have warned against changing horses midstream. In the midst of the war inflicted by Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confronts a concerted effort to shoot his “horse” out from under him. That would be a grave mistake for the Jewish State, and America.
In fact, Bibi’s political adversaries at home and their allies on Team Biden were determined to remove him from power well before the jihadists’ October 7th  invasion. When relentless prosecution on corruption charges proved unavailing, his opponents: took to the streets to block necessary reforms of Israel’s judiciary; undermined military readiness; and talked up overthrowing his elected coalition government.  
Our most important Mideast ally’s very survival depends upon Israel’s decisive victory over her Sharia-supremacist enemies – and ours. Bibi Netanyahu is determined to achieve it, and we must help him succeed.

Well, that didn’t last long.
Joe Biden spent the first two years of his presidency undermining Israel, sabotaging its government and emboldening its enemies. Such behavior contributed to the perception that the Jewish State could be attacked with impunity. 
After that horrifically occurred on October 7th, Biden publicly pledged to “stand with Israel.” Even those of us who doubted he actually meant it prayed he would do so in an enduring way. It turned out to last a month.
Yesterday, the President revealed he is demanding that the Israelis allow a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza. That will please his administration’s roughly 70 Muslim Brotherhood-aligned officials who are insisting that America, as a practical matter, save Hamas. Far from catalyzing peace, however, it will further conduce to wider and more dangerous attacks on our ally, Israel – and, inevitably, on us.

Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the United States faces a threat of terrorist attacks at “a whole other level,” but shockingly testified that “we’re not tracking” those posing such a threat here.
Todd Bensman is an expert on jihadist penetration of our southern border. In the New York Post, he recently reminded the FBI that in connection with the successful 2008 prosecution of a Hamas fundraising operation known as the Holy Land Foundation, the federal government produced what was called “Attachment A.”
It identified 246 “unindicted co-conspirators” associated with the Foundation, Hamas and/or its parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. Reportedly, this roster was intended for the next stage of prosecutions. But the election of Barack Obama, who openly supported the Brotherhood, foreclosed that necessary action. 
Memo to Chris Wray: Start tracking – and prosecuting – those on Attachment A.

This week, the arsonist who runs the world’s largest Transnational Criminal Organization and is personally responsible for serially lighting strategic “fires” that portend a global conflagration comes to America. 
That would be Chinese dictator Xi Jinping and he’ll visit with President Biden in San Francisco. Their meeting may be even more fraught than the one in Munich eighty-five years ago when Adolf Hitler concluded he could aggress with impunity, given Neville Chamberlain’s weakness. 
Tragically, Biden’s enfeebled condition and status as a “controlled asset” of China make Chamberlain look like Churchill.
Worse yet, the CCP arsonist has been sparking fires here, too. To cite but one example, his addictive, manipulative and massively popular app known as TikTok has been encouraging pro-Hamas agitation across the country – including a vandalous assault on the White House.  
Xi should be prosecuted, not incentivized to further aggression.

Senate RINOs are relentlessly attacking their colleague, Tommy Tuberville, for wisely insisting that promotions of hundreds of top officers be approved individually since many embrace a Marxist agenda imperiling our armed forces. 
Purges of patriots and those who refused “the jab,” compounded by “critical race” brainwashing, are crushing the services’ recruitment goals. 
The Pentagon can, however, find lots of fit young men “of color” to fill the ranks. It has a program that allows illegal aliens to enlist and get fast-tracked for citizenship. 
Barack Obama promised to “fundamentally transform” America.   In the course of this third Obama-Biden term, doing that to our military has rapidly advanced – and would result in its inevitable take-down if we put foreign jihadists, Chinese special forces and other enemies in our uniforms. 
Will any Senator stand with “Coach” Tuberville in exposing and opposing this unfolding disaster?
