Hooray for the New and Much-needed "Special Relationship"

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu's meeting yesterday may rank in historical, strategic importance alongside those of Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill in the early years of World War II and the collaborations of Ronald Reagan with Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II at the Cold War's zenith.In each case, "special relationships" were forged that empowered embattled leaders to stave off and defeat their times' "existential threats to freedom." The partnership on display during Tuesday's White House press availability, rooted in a shared commitment to victory over totalitarians seeking the destruction of both countries, can – and must – do the same in ours.Most immediately, President Trump's common sense declaration that Gaza has become uninhabitable sets the stage for the relocation of its populace and the first decisive loss contemporary Sharia supremacists have suffered in what is truly their "endless war" against Judeo-Christian civilization.This is Frank Gaffney.
 

Making America Healthy Again Must Start Today

One of the most important reasons Donald Trump is president today is the appeal of his commitment in the course of the 2024 campaign to work with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to make America healthy again.This was a voting issue for millions of us deeply troubled about the pharmaceutical, medical, food, and regulatory factors that are making us sick and not promoting wellness.Mr. Kennedy – a tireless champion for correcting what ails public health in this country – is President Trump’s choice to head the massive federal Department of Health and Human Services. His nomination faces a critical vote today in the Senate Finance Committee.In the end, it will likely come down to one Republican Senator, Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy. He is a medical doctor whose constituents are overwhelmingly urging a yes vote.
 
Let us pray that he will heed their call.This is Frank Gaffney.

For the U.S. and Israel, There Can be No Substitute for Victory

It’s hard to overstate the importance of this week’s meeting between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. If they stand together, as Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill did in World War II’s darkest days when Britain was otherwise alone, Israel will – with our material support – defeat our mutual enemies.If a united front is not the outcome, those enemies will be convinced they’ll destroy not only the Jewish State but – in due course – America, as well.The regrouping, rearming, and preparations for renewed attacks on Israel now being undertaken by Hamas and other Sharia- supremacists cannot continue without dire consequences for both our nations and the Free World, more generally.We must, therefore, pray that mistakes like Biden’s calamitous Gaza “ceasefire” are reversed in favor of a shared commitment to accept, in the words of Douglas MacArthur, “no substitute for victory.”This is Frank Gaffney.

Embracing DeepSeek Demonstrates our Intelligence Failure

For decades, we have been told Communist China is just an economic competitor. We were blithely assured that, if we engaged with and enriched the PRC by transferring there much of our manufacturing capability, supply chains and investment dollars, it would become more like us.Arguably, in the history of the world, there has never been amore colossal strategic mistake.We’ve transformed Communist China, alright, and now it’s a powerful, mortal enemy upon whom we critically depend even though the CCP’s stated goal is to destroy this country.That’s the context in which we must consider the introduction this week of China’s DeepSeek, a free artificial intelligence model with the potential to engage – and addict – millions of Americans, even as we struggle to break TikTok’s grip on half our population.Learn more at our PresentDangerChina.org webinar today at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.This is Frank Gaffney.

The CCP's Unrestricted AI Warfare

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The Chinese Communist Party has long waged “unrestricted warfare” to destroy without kinetic fighting a more powerful America.This week, the CCP did immense, if not decisive, damage by effectively attacking the U.S. artificial intelligence industry. With the roll-out of DeepSeek, the Chinese Communists have introduced a free AI large language model that surpasses the performance of existing American offerings like ChatGPT. The impact was immediate, and devastating, on the share value of U.S. competitors. Technology manufacturer Nvidia lost 600 billion dollars.With half our country literally hooked on China’s TikTok political warfare app, the danger posed by DeepSeek and other, inbound Chinese AI systems can hardly be overstated.An extremely timely webinar will examine the implications of this latest act of CCP unrestricted warfare and the way forward Friday at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.

Common Sense Dictates America's "Titanium Dome" be Space-based

For over fifty years, American leftists and establishment Republicans have opposed effective U.S. missile defenses, claiming our security depends on our being vulnerable to long-range missile strikes.In 1983, Ronald Reagan challenged this insane policy. But his successors consistently limited our anti-missile capabilities, so much so that we remain essentially unprotected against all but the smallest attacks.Fortunately, Donald Trump has promised a "revolution of commonsense." In a world where Israel has suffered massive missile attacks and defenses against them are obviously needed, he has commonsensically declared America will have its equivalent of Israel's Iron Dome.Mr. Trump must make the centerpiece of an American Titanium Dome space-based sensors and interceptors that are the most effective and least costly way to dissuade missile-wielding enemies from attacking us and, if necessary, to prevent them from doing so.This is Frank Gaffney.
