Secure Freedom Minute

The Chinese Communist Party has many reasons to celebrate the visit this week of its “friend,” Henry Kissinger. He’s 100 years old. He’s been to the PRC over 100 times. And for five decades, he has been its most unstinting and influential shill. 
Kissinger has been paid handsomely for his service to Beijing since he first secretly traveled there in 1971 as the advance man for Richard Nixon’s fateful “opening” to the CCP. Late in his life, the former President correctly feared that “We may have created a Frankenstein.”
Another service Kissinger rendered to the Communists is chronicled in Stephen Young’s important new book, Kissinger’s Betrayal: How America Lost the Vietnam War. It describes his secret sell-out of South Vietnam, assuring our ally’s genocidal defeat by their enemies, and ours, in Hanoi.
With the Communists’ friends like Henry Kissinger, who needs enemies?

Yesterday, the House of Representatives felt compelled to affirm America’s support for the State of Israel. It effectively repudiated the rising Democratic anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism before a senior Israeli official’s speech today to a congressional joint session.
Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s policy towards the Jewish State reflects such vile sentiments, too, as evidenced by among other things, the choice of its head of state, not the leader of its government, to address our nation. Team Biden is working with President Isaac Herzog’s leftist allies who seek to overthrow a man they all detest – who happens to be Israel’s democratically elected leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Worse yet, Obama-Biden 3.0 persists in empowering those seeking the destruction of our most important ally in the Middle East. Consequently, Iran and its proxies are becoming more dangerously aggressive by the day.
Please repudiate these policies, too!

If you are having a hot, wet or otherwise uncomfortable summer, you may be particularly susceptible to one or more scams. 
You may be inclined to believe that extreme weather like intense summer heat, flooding and droughts are caused by human carbon dioxide emissions. If so, Team Biden’s so-called “climate czar” John Kerry has a Chinese bridge he wants to sell you.
At the moment, this guy – who has, for five decades, repeatedly betrayed our country – is in Beijing talking up the surpassing importance of getting yet-another climate “deal” with the Chinese Communists. 
He wants you to ignore: the evidence that dictator Xi Jinping is preparing for a shooting war against us; the obvious insanity of becoming still more dependent on the PRC for so-called “green energy”; and China’s litany of broken promises.
Kerry’s latest scam could get lots of us killed.

The House of Representatives voted last week to correct some of the most egregious examples of the Marxist-makeover currently afflicting our military men and women. The Senate will shortly consider its version of the National Defense Authorization Act. 
Tragically, Democrats in the majority there are expected to endorse racist, merit-crushing “diversity” priorities, “transgender” accommodations that imperil servicewomen’s privacy and safety and illegal government-funding of abortion-related expenses.
Fortunately, the Senate can demonstrate that it, too, wants the restoration of America’s military greatness – not its further ravaging – by rejecting an exemplar of so-called “woke” in uniform: General “C.Q.” Brown, President Biden’s nominee to become the next Joint Chiefs Chairman. 
At www.RejectGeneralBrown.org, you can tell your Senators to start returning our armed forces to their historic values, traditions and practices that are essential to deterring conflict and, if that fails, to prevailing in battle.

Out of the blue, President Biden yesterday called up elements of America’ military reserves. What’s up with that?  
Ostensibly, it’s to shore up our forces in Europe. But are they meant for a shooting war in Ukraine, without congressional approval or public support?
Alternatively, are the reserves intended to paper over the military’s acute recruiting crisis and its principal cause: Team Biden’s deeply alienating, Marxist makeover of our armed forces?
Or is this a cynical gambit to induce the U.S. Senate to confirm General “C.Q.” Brown as the next Joint Chiefs Chairman and rubber-stamp the promotion of other officers willing to sacrifice readiness and deterrence to so-called “woke” policies that undermine both? 
These possible motivations have one thing in common: They are likely to embolden our main enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, to believe it can wage war against us with impunity.

Suddenly, the nation must confront critical decisions: In upcoming votes on the House of Representatives’ annual defense authorization act, Republicans will try to counter the radical left’s “fundamental transformation” of the U.S. military. 
Most Democrats, however, are expected to contend that government funding for racist quotas and indoctrination, transgender accommodations in the uniformed services, abortion-related travel and the like are appropriate Pentagon priorities. 
Meanwhile, the Senate is being asked to confirm General “C.Q.” Brown as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – even though he apparently is all-in on such readiness-sapping social engineering of our only military. 
Votes on these topics offer what may be Congress’ last chance to stop this Marxist make-over of our armed forces. A Chinese Communist Party preparing for a shooting war against us earnestly hopes our representatives will fail to seize it.
