Against the backdrop of a meeting of national security luminaries – including Secretary of State Marco Rubio – last weekend in Munich, Germany, a most amazing event took place.
According to police estimates, a quarter of a million people took to that city’s streets in solidarity with the people of Iran, demanding an end to the horrific sharia-supremacist tyranny that has brutally repressed them and threatened us for nearly fifty years.
Senator Lindsay Graham conveyed America’s support for liberating the Iranian people. His comments came shortly after President Trump observed the end of the ayatollahs’ regime would be “the best thing that could happen.”
Mr. Trump now has in place military forces that can destroy the mullahs’ remaining security apparatus. It’s time for the promised “help is on the way” to be translated into help delivered and a true “Liberation Day” achieved.

The CCP Tests its Nukes, So Must We

Under Secretary of State for Arms Control Thomas DiNanno recently revealed that the Chinese Communist Party has covertly explosively tested nuclear weapons creating yields of “hundreds of tons” of dynamite. By so doing, the CCP has validated that the state-of-the-art arms they are putting on an astonishing array of new missiles and bomber aircraft actually work.
That amounts to Chinese cheating on an international ban on such testing. It also demands that that the United States – which hasn’t conducted such a test since 1992 and, unlike China, has no treaty obligation to refrain from doing so, must validate that the obsolescing weapons in its arsenal are actually still safe, reliable and effective, too.
President Trump says he wants to test our nuclear weapons as others have done. Our national security and deterrence requires we do just that now.

President Trump says “Iran wants a deal.” It would be more accurate to say Iran wants to negotiate about “a deal.” The difference is, as Mark Twain put it, between “lightning and a lightning bug.”
Iran’s sharia-supremacist regime has used decades of such negotiations ostensibly aimed at denuclearizing Iran, to buy time to continue: its nuclear weapons program; its build-up of various missiles with which to deliver them across the Middle East and even here; and its enabling of jihadist terrorism worldwide.
Mr. Trump insists he’ll address all those threats. But the ayatollahs have a culture of haggling in the bazaar and hope to run the clock out on his military options.
Memo to the President: “Give peace a chance” the only way it can possibly eventuate – namely, by doing deals with the liberated people of Iran after this regime is gone.

President Trump’s meeting this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could finally precipitate the end of the still-metastasizing sharia-supremacist regime in Iran.
Alternatively, it could result in failure by allowing the Iranian mullahocracy literally to get away with murder and continue its preparations to unleash truly apocalyptic destruction.
That is not hyperbole. Rather, it is the mission statement of the official religion of Iran, which holds that only such devastation will bring back its messiah.
Mr. Trump is being told that giving the ayatollahs more time to make a deal could actually eliminate the threat they pose. It ain’t gonna happen.
Mr. President: Give peace the only chance that will actually make a difference: Help liberate the people of Iran from the tyrants who will otherwise continue to murder them and eventually fulfill the regime’s mantra of “Death to America.”

On Friday, New York City's communist Muslim mayor Zoran Mamdani unveiled a sweeping throwdown with the Trump administration's policies aimed at removing illegal aliens from this country.Particularly noteworthy was Mamdani's declaration that his model for dealing with immigrants would align with the welcome and good home the people of Medina gave to Islam's first migrant, Muhammad. As freedom fighter Kevin Freeman has pointed out, however, Muhammad repaid Medina's Jewish tribes who gave him such refuge by ultimately destroying them, murdering the men, and turning their women and children into sex slaves and chattel. The effects of Mamdani's aggressively anti-ice, open door, and sanctuary city policies emulating those exploited by Islam's perfect man,Muhammad will not only put at risk his own population, inevitably those to whom he is recklessly giving refuge will emulate the example of Mamdani's prophet and destructively migrate elsewhere in America too.

"Defund the Police" 2.0

There is something surreal about the Enemy Within’s determined “Defund the Police” 2.0. Those Communists, jihadists and their fellow travelers doing business as the Democratic Party – with a few irresponsible Republicans – are demanding that we effectively disarm ICE at a moment when we need it more than ever to find and remove, or otherwise neutralize, “the worst of the worst” of the illegal immigrants in America.
By any definition, such illegals would include tens of thousands Chinese soldiers now inside this country. Especially when it appears they can tap perhaps 20 biological warfare laboratories here, too.
CIA veteran Sam Faddis warns that, based on the two labs discovered so far, their contents could kill between sixty-ninety percent of those infected.
Consequently, the treacherous anti-ICE enemies within are also among the worst of the worst. They must be treated as such.
