Secure Freedom Minute

On Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken was directly asked “Are we going to prevent China from having a military base on the island of Cuba?”
 
Blinken’s word-salad response amounted to an assurance that: “We've made clear that this is a real concern.” 
In short, the Biden administration intends to take no action to prevent the Chinese Communist Party from establishing – not just an expanded intelligence and advanced cyberwarfare facility in Cuba – but a so-called “military training base” inherently capable of kinetic power-projection, as well. 
 
Our Committee on the Present Danger: China believes that is a totally unacceptable response and will be unveiling in a webinar today at 1 p.m. Eastern Time twenty specific actions the United States must take immediately to counter this new Chinese dagger pointed at the heart of America.

Fresh from his pathetic impersonation of a representative of America’s vital national interests in Beijing last week, Secretary of State Tony Blinken appeared on Sunday morning TV shows to comment on tumultuous events in Russia over the last few days. His message was: The Biden administration is “focused on Ukraine.” 
In fact, Blinken slavishly adhered to what was clearly his main authorized talking point by repeating it ludicrously. No wonder his international interlocutors – and most especially the Chinese Communist ones – treat him with such contempt. 
If Team Biden has nothing to say about the import of the short-lived, but portentous, Russian mutiny besides “Look over there, folks,” at least our countrymen and women ought to be encouraged to “focus” on the fresh evidence that President Biden has personally taken money from Chinese intelligence officers – and repeatedly lied about it. 
Joe must go.

In 1962, the Soviet Union sought to turn Cuba into “a dagger” pointed at America’s heart. Today, a far more dangerous Communist enemy is attempting to do the same.
Sixty-one years ago, a Democratic president responded to the Cuban Missile Crisis by blockading the island and threatening to attack the Soviet ballistic missiles being installed there if they weren’t promptly removed. Today, Joe Biden is turning a blind eye to the rapidly evolving Chinese military build-up in Cuba and misleading the American people about the threat thus posed.
We need an urgent course-correction on the Chinese Communist Party. That requires, among much else, using the sorts of “unrestricted warfare” techniques the CCP has long wielded against us to roll back its various threats in our hemisphere while adopting here the sort of societal war-footing now in place in China.

Finally, Rep. Adam Schiff has been held accountable for his serial lies to the American people, the costly investigations and impeachments they encouraged and the abuse of the power entrusted to him as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee that enabled both. 
As the late William Safire famously said of Hillary Clinton, Schiff is a “congenital liar.” His earlier removal from the Intel Committee and now his censure by the full House of Representatives fall far short of the expulsion such an utter lack of integrity actually warrants. 
But it is the least Congress can do and encourages hope for more of the same with respect to others in government – like Messrs. Biden, Garland and Majorkas – who have similarly betrayed the public trust by abusing their offices and the oath to support and defend the Constitution they took upon entering them.

Hunter Biden once acknowledged that he probably wouldn’t have gotten a board seat with a corrupt Ukrainian oil company if his last name were different. He surely wouldn’t have gotten the sweetheart plea deal announced yesterday if his father weren’t the U.S. President. 
The immediate question is whether that deal rules out Hunter’s prosecution on other charges. His lawyer says it does. The U.S. Attorney who has been investigating him for several years however, says that he is still doing so. 
The far more important question is whether the American people will tolerate this latest example of unequal justice under law. If allowed to stand, it would surely reinforce the perception that there is one criminal standard for Democrats and another for Republicans.      
That perception must not be allowed to take further root, starting with a vigorous prosecution of Hunter Biden.

The take-away from Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s visit to Beijing this week, including its seven-hour struggle session with China’s top diplomat, is pretty clear: Pax Americana has now been replaced with Post-America.
That’s the cumulative effect of Obama-Biden’s three terms pursuing the “fundamental transformation of the United States of America.” The globalists are now in charge, particularly those “with Chinese characteristics.”
They are steadily eroding U.S. sovereignty by the relentless pursuit of so-called “global stability,” “global governance,” “global health,” “global digital IDs,” and “global taxes.” Throw in the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and the dismantling of our constitutional republic at home and you have a post-American world.
No one has given Joe Biden a mandate to effect such an ominous transformation. The question is: Will it become irreversible before he is finally removed from office?
