Secure Freedom Minute

Five Republican Senators used floor time yesterday to denounce one of their colleagues, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville – endorsing Biden administration claims that the man known as “Coach” and his “hold” blocking the wholesale approval of promotions for senior officers are endangering national security. 
In fact, Coach Tuberville’s hold, initially prompted by the Defense Department’s illegal use of taxpayer money for abortion-related expenditures, has rendered a profound service to the military and the nation. His time-out on promotions has afforded an opportunity to examine and reject officers who embrace the subversive cultural Marxist agenda “fundamentally transforming” our armed forces.
Invaluable research on nearly thirty of those nominees reveals that – despite hectoring by the Senate GOP’s “controlled opposition” and their institution’s failure to vet them properly –  it is these officers’ brand of so-called “woke” leadership that imperils national security, not Coach’s objections to it.

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Congress yesterday that, “We are in a dangerous period [as]…multiple terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and the West.” 
Worse yet, when asked if any such groups were operating in the United States, Wray responded, “Well, we’re not tracking that.” 
What the FBI has been tracking are patriotic Americans who were in Washington on January 6th, school board-protesting parents, traditional Catholics and those criticizing the COVID jabs. 
While such misallocation of limited counter-intelligence resources tracks with disastrous Biden administration priorities, any conscientious public servant would resign for his part in leaving the nation acutely vulnerable to murderous strikes by jihadists and, for that matter, Chinese special forces and others now here to do us harm.
The FBI needs an overhaul and new leadership. If Christopher Wray won’t resign, he should be fired.

In a Russian provincial capital this weekend, a mob invaded the airport intent on tearing Jewish passengers limb from limb. That wasn’t just an example of resurgent anti-Semitism in the tradition of virulent pogroms conducted in that neighborhood for centuries. 
It was an example of jihadist bloodlust commanded by the Islamic doctrine of Sharia. Fortunately, the perpetrators did not succeed in Dagestan, as they did recently in Israel. The question is: Could it happen here?
Incredibly, similar, potentially murderous violence has occurred of late at Cooper’s Union, Cornell University and the Brooklyn Bridge, among other places. 
Throughout history, the persecution of Jews does not end with the Jews. Christians and others inevitably are targeted, as well. In due course, so will be Western civilization – unless and until it fully submits to enslaving Islamic rule.
It's time to choose: Surrender or resist.

The recent spate of pro-Hamas riots is just the latest reminder that, under Joe Biden, America no longer has a functioning counter-intelligence capability. 
For example, we have no idea how many tens of thousands of Chinese special forces warriors have entered our country through Biden’s open borders. Ditto jihadists. Or the extent of the weaponized Muslim Brotherhood or other infrastructure with which such invaders have now married up.
We have individuals with ties to Hamas, Iran and Communist China in extremely sensitive government jobs – including Joe Biden, himself. And in Biden’s case especially, the FBI, which is charged with countering such internal threats, has instead been serially covering up his compromise.
Worse yet, the FBI, Department of Justice and Intelligence Community have been told patriotic Americans are the enemy. 
Unless fixed, all this will get a lot of us killed.

President Biden engaged yesterday in outreach to one of his core constituencies: the Muslim Brotherhood. He met privately with five so-called “American Arab and Muslim leaders” including: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison; Wa’el Alzayat of Emgage, a political mobilization operation; and interfaith influence-operator Imam Mohamed Magid. 
 
Each has personal and/or organizational associations with the Brotherhood, a group whose Palestinian franchise, Hamas, perpetrated the horrific jihadist attack on Israel on October 7th.  
 
Successive U.S. administrations have mistakenly treated Sharia-supremacist Muslim Brotherhood operatives as legitimate representatives of America’s Muslims. In so doing, they have reinforced the Brothers’ claim to lead and speak for their co-religionists in this country. 
 
The stealth jihadist Muslim Brotherhood is America’s enemy and must be treated as such.

Congratulations to newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson, a man with a well-deserved reputation as a principled, conservative and courageous legislator! At least as important, he’s a man of integrity – all qualities the times urgently require.
For example, in his previous role as a Louisiana representative, Mr. Johnson secured the adoption of a resolution encouraging that state’s law enforcement not to work with a Muslim Brotherhood front called the Council on American Islamic Relations, better known as CAIR. 
With the Brotherhood’s role in fomenting recent agitation across the country in support of its Palestinian franchise – the Hamas terrorist organization – calling fresh attention to the threat posed by these jihadists and their vast Islamic Center network and other infrastructure here, we pray that Speaker Johnson will prove to be the leader we need, among other things, in exposing and opposing them nationally.
