We Need Not Just a War Department, but a War-footing

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
President Trump has restored the Defense Department’s name to the Department of War. Largely unnoted in the reporting on the rebrand is the fact that we are at war – and it could go fully kinetic at any time.
That’s the conclusion of a riveting webinar conducted last week by our Committee on the Present Danger: China to document the Chinese Communists’ long-running, “unrestricted” and even declared “People’s War” against our country.
This PresentDangerChina.org webinar revealed the extent to which Xi Jinping’s own preparations for a shooting war are being accompanied by those of Russia, North Korea and Iran, whose leaders were in Beijing last week and may well have discussed joint action.
America needs not just a Department of War but a war-footing if we are to counter – and, ultimately prevail in – World War Xi.

Bobby's Right, Not Big Pharma

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Big Pharma sure is furious with Robert Kennedy, Jr. The pharmaceutical industry wants him terminated as Health and Human Services Secretary.
That was the unmistakable takeaway from Bobby’s hours-long grilling yesterday before the Senate Finance Committee. He was relentlessly attacked by Democratic members for his insistence that the impact of the COVID and other vaccines on public health must be scientifically scrutinized.
One of them, Vermont’s Marxist Senator Bernie Sanders, actually copped to Secretary Kennedy’s observation in response that such critics were recipients of immense campaign contributions from Pharma, admitting that every Senator takes money from the industry. That’s also true of the media, academia and key government agencies.
Politicians will discover their constituents increasingly support Bobby Kennedy, not Big Pharma. President Trump rightly wants the facts out about vaccine safety, and so do the American people.

What Will the Beijing Bloc's Conspirators Do Next?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Chinese dictator Xi Jinping just hosted leaders of the world’s most dangerous regimes against the backdrop of a parade through Tiananmen Square testifying to the PRC’s unprecedented military build-up. 
President Trump declared on social media that Xi, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un are “conspiring  against the United States.”
There are ominous indicators of what such a conspiracy might entail. For one thing, past pilgrimages to Beijing by Putin, Israel’s enemies and Venezuela’s Nicholas Maduro have resulted in actual, or promised, acts of “strategic arson.” 
And all of these co-conspirators appear to be preparing for more such aggression by mobilizing and/or upgunning forces, and in the case of Russia, North Korea and some Iranian proxies engaging in actual attacks.
An important webinar tomorrow afternoon will examine what the Beijing Bloc may do next. Join us at PresentDangerChina.org.

Trump's Right - Xi is Conspiring Against Us

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. 
President Trump took to social media yesterday to respond to the offensively false narrative pushed out by Xi Jinping and his friends in the emerging “Beijing Bloc” about the Chinese Communist Party’s pivotal role in defeating Imperial Japan. 
In fact, while the U.S. military decisively helped the people of China and their nationalist government fight the Japanese at tremendous cost during World War II, the CCP was almost completely AWOL.
Mr. Trump also correctly observed that Xi was using meetings with his despotic Russian and North Korean counterparts to “conspire” against the United States. The question is: Will that conspiracy result in more of the “strategic arson” the Chinese dictator and his allies have perpetrated to date in Ukraine and the Mideast – presumably next in Asia? 
We’re on notice that Xi’s regime is our enemy. It must be treated as such.

"Beijing's Bloc" Must be Resisted, Not Enabled

For two overarching reasons, no good can come of the summit Communist China convened last weekend. 
First, there’s a discernable pattern of what happens when Chinese dictator Xi Jinping entertains his counterparts from dangerous regimes. I call it “strategic arson.” 
Second, in part due to the resulting conflagrations, Xi, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and the Iranian mullahs are in trouble. Together with disastrous economic policies and/or repression at home, there are growing pressures from within and without for regime changes.
Tyrants often respond to such conditions by lashing out, manufacturing foreign crises to justify intensified control at home. Xi Jinping is talking up “global governance,” a euphemism for establishing a world order run by him and his friends in “Beijing’s bloc.”

Go to Zero CCP "Students" Here, Mr. President

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. 
 
The White House announced yesterday that President Trump is not proposing to issue six hundred thousand student visas to Chinese nationals. That’s the good news. 
The bad news is that the Trump administration will instead simply maintain the current number of such PRC “students” at large in this country. That amounts to roughly a quarter million of them – all of whom the Chinese Communists can weaponize, compelling them to steal our intellectual property and other secrets, and/or potentially engage in devastating physical attacks, particularly collectively.
Consequently, President Trump needs to restore the policy that Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled just three months ago, declaring: “The U.S. State Department will work with the Department of Homeland Security to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”
Just do it
