Secure Freedom Minute

Elon Musk’s high-end electric vehicle company, Tesla, manufactures lots of cars in Communist China. For some time though, the regime there has disallowed Teslas on or near military installations. Now, the ban is reportedly being extended to other areas of the country.
Evidently, the reason for such restrictions is that the Chinese Communist Party fears these cars can be mobile electronic intelligence collection platforms. And they should know, given that they not only build them, but have surely expropriated Musk’s proprietary technology long ago. 
Presumably, therefore, the CCP is able to use Teslas – probably including the company’s cars built elsewhere – to spy not only on the vehicles’ owners here, but targets of interest throughout the United States. 
Who needs spy balloons when American drivers can be unwittingly enlisted to conduct espionage for our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party?

Xi Van Fleet is a Foreign-born American Patriot. In 2021, she prominently opposed the indoctrination and weaponization of our children in Northern Virginia public schools reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution she lived through in Mao’s China. 
Ms. Van Fleet is now warning that cultural revolutionaries here are using Maoist tactics to take down the party in power’s political opponents. She knows from hard, first-hand experience, that what is being done today to former President Trump and to his Make America Great Again movement will not be confined to those immediate targets.
Xi Van Fleet attests that even those currently cheering on the prosecutions of Donald Trump and his allies will inevitably find themselves in the cultural Marxists’ crosshairs. Possibly literally. 
We must indict and prosecute the Chinese Communist Party and its friends – before they do the same to all of us.

The Senate’s recess is over and its agenda includes the nomination of General C.Q. Brown to be America’s top military officer. Here are five reasons he should be rejected:
First, with him as the Air Force’s Chief of Staff, its strength has declined from “marginal” to “very weak” – grounds for termination, not promotion.
Second, Gen. Brown embraces the cultural Marxist agenda of Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It’s destroying America’s armed forces. 
Third, on his watch, the Air Force Academy has indoctrinated his service’s future leaders with that anti-American, racist and divisive ideology.
Fourth, Gen. Brown is a former fighter pilot, but not the warrior commander we need at the moment.
And fifth, that’s imperative because Communist China is preparing for war. Our troops must do the same, starting with the rejection of General Brown.

On the day set aside to honor those who labor in America, here’s a modest proposal: Let’s clearly lift up not just the millions of our countrymen and women purportedly represented by what have become virulently leftist unions, but the vastly larger number us who are not. 
For starters, let’s take a page out of the Left’s playbook and rename Labor Day. How about calling it instead “All American Workers Day.”  
This would explicitly recognize everyone who works for the common good, unlike the current holiday which generally emphasizes those whose dues support labor organizations. That’s especially desirable since, unlike most of their American members, many of those unions are deeply hostile to this nation.
Going forward, let us celebrate, and thereby encourage, love of country and all those who work to make America a stronger, more prosperous and freer nation.

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is best known for his years as a successful football coach. Today, he’s running what may be the most important defensive play of his career.
Coach Tuberville is blocking Senate approval of promotions of hundreds of military personnel over the Biden administration’s politicization of our armed forces. Sparked by its federal funding for abortions, his “hold” is now addressing as well the longstanding Obama-Biden agenda of effecting a cultural Marxist “transformation” of the military.
Consequently, the Senate has a chance to consider whether a general who champions that toxic agenda should become the nation’s top officer. “Coach’s” efforts have just been endorsed by presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, the latest in a growing number opposed to General C.Q. Brown’s nomination to become the next Joint Chiefs Chairman – a stance everyone else in the field and the Senate should support.

It’s not exactly surprising that a man notorious for plagiarism turns out to be a serial liar. Still, the magnitude of Joe Biden’s betrayals of the public trust is arguably unprecedented in American politics and it’s hard to overstate the associated damage.
For example, the truth is that Biden did not win 81 million legal votes in 2020. He was intimately involved in his son Hunter’s influence peddling with, among others, Chinese intelligence. And the number of aliens coming illegally across our open border has not declined.
Now it seems such corrosive mendacity has corrupted even official statistics about the state of the U.S. economy. The Heritage Foundation’s E.J. Antoni warns that successive, positive jobs reports have subsequently been dramatically corrected downwards – suggesting deliberate manipulation for political purposes.
His congenital lying is yet another reason why Joe must go.
