The "War" Next Time

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. 
 
Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer, that service’s top enlisted soldier, recently declared, “I have never been to war.” 
 
To be sure, over his decades of decorated service, that veteran special operator has fought in many of our nation’s military actions, including the so-called “Global War on Terror.”
 
The senior Sergeant Major’s comment was followed by this vital clarification: “Not war like we’re talking about, large-scale combat operations with a near-peer….This has the potential to change the American way of life.” 
 
The “near-peer” enemy, of course, is the Chinese Communist Party. And the “People’s War” against America that it declared publicly five years ago could “go kinetic” at any moment. 
 
Given the stakes, SMA Weimer’s warning – and what we must do to deter the CCP and, failing that, to defeat it – should be the most important issue in this fall’s election.

Deter Iran's Next Attack on Israel

America’s most important ally currently is braced for an attack by Iran and/or its proxies. Thanks to Iranian arms transfers, Hezbollah alone can devastate Israel with many thousands of missiles capable of reaching all her territory.
 
Some of these weapons are believed to be capable of unleashing electro-magnetic pulses that could disrupt the Jewish State’s defenses and possibly devastate the power grid upon which both her military and civilian society depend.
 
The question occurs: What is the Harris-Biden administration doing to deter Iran?
 
While American forces in the region have been beefed up, the official U.S. line is that we’re just going to defend Israel like the last time Iran directly attacked her. Far more likely to prevent further retaliation would be our commitment to help Israel destroy the mullahs’ regime. They are likely to perceive anything less as greenlighting Iranian aggression, again.

Does National Security Still Matter?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
 
Once upon a time, the United States government took seriously the idea that national security matters. Those with ties to America’s enemies were ineligible to hold sensitive posts, lest they imperil the country.
 
That sensible principle has been profoundly undermined during the three Obama-Biden administrations as numerous individuals involved with Russia, Iran, Cuba, Hezbollah, Hamas and most especially the Chinese Communist Party have nonetheless occupied senior government jobs.
 
One of those is Joe Biden, whose family knowingly took millions of dollars from Chinese intelligence. Another is his Vice President, Kamala Harris, a “red diaper baby” whose career and husband have long been involved with Maoists and the CCP. Yet another is her choice for Veep, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has made thirty trips to Communist China and insists it’s no adversary.
 
We must reestablish vital security protocols while we still can.
 

Britain Lurches Towards the "China Model" - Are We Next?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
 
Britain’s new leftist prime minister has responded to riots across his country by unveiling the expanded use of facial recognition, intelligence-sharing, “criminal behavior orders” and other surveillance techniques to restrict preemptively the movement and actions of opponents of the mass immigration that is radically transforming the U.K.
 
Where have we seen such practices relentlessly applied? They are the hallmark of totalitarian systems and have been comprehensively institutionalized by the Chinese Communist Party with its so-called “Social Credit System.”
 
The critical enabler to such a system is the requirement of digital ID cards. A newly adopted World Health Organization treaty supported by the Harris-Biden administration requires every nation to issue them – or, initially, paper ones – in the name of public health monitoring. Unless the U.S. Senate rejects this accord, we will be a pretext away from adopting, like Britain, the “China Model.”

Have We Entered Spiritual Warfare's Decisive Phase?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
 
The war on Judeo-Christian civilization has entered a new and possibly decisive phase.
 
Israel faces the distinct possibility of mass destruction at the hands of Sharia-supremacists in Iran and their proxies.
 
In the United Kingdom, a proto-civil war has broken out between natives and those who have immigrated there in vast numbers from nations where the law of the land is Sharia – the totalitarian operating code of authoritative Islam that such adherents hope to impose on Britain and the rest of the world.
 
And, as excommunicated Catholic Archbishop Carlos Vigano recently observed, the forces of evil used the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Paris to exult Satanism, blaspheme and revile those who worship God.
 
If we do not stand against these and other enemies of freedom and the Lord who gave us ours, we may soon be enslaved by them.
 
This is Frank.

Maduro is a "Root Cause" of Illegal Immigration

The Harris-Biden administration yesterday announced that Edmundo Gonzalez overwhelming defeated Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in recent elections. Maduro insists that he won. It’s unclear what, if anything, the United States and its “international partners” will do to end the regime in Caracas that has long oppressed its own people and threatens ours.
 
After all, the devastation wrought by Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, has been one of the “root causes” of dangerous illegal immigration here.
 
Although addressing such problems is the only part of Kamala Harris’ immigration czar portfolio she acknowledges, her response to date has largely been to perpetuate Maduro’s misrule – buying his oil, ignoring his strategically perilous ties to our enemies and allowing him to send operatives, criminals and much of the rest of his population to this country.
 
Help Venezuelans free themselves, and send Maduro’s illegal aliens home.
