There’s currently much hand-wringing that our arsenal of precision and long-range weapons has been depleted to the point where we may be unable to continue combat operations against Iran, let alone deter – and, if necessary, win – a war with Communist China.
Understandably, the Pentagon is reluctant to provide sensitive information on the topic. But leaks and congressional testimony suggest there’s truth to the speculation.
If so, it’s the predictable result of “strategic arson” perpetrated by Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. His Russian and Iranian allies’ attacks on Ukraine and Israel, respectively, came after consultations in Beijing. And they have diverted our policy-makers, consumed our warriors’ energies and materiel and overwhelmed inadequate military production lines.
The Trump administration and Congress are scrambling to expand our defense industrial base. The question is: Will China’s next arson in “World War Xi” wait until we do so?

25 years after 9/11, a Jihadist Trifecta?

Twenty-five years ago next month, a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot called al Qaeda murderously attacked New York and Washington, D.C.
Ever since the Brotherhood has waged a stealthy “civilization jihad” contributing to the election of New York’s jihadist-Marxist mayor and our capital will have a pro-jihad Marxist one next year.
The Brotherhood expects more wins this week.
On 9/11, there were twelve-hundred Muslim mosques in America. Now, the Brotherhood claims 4,000. Tonight, McKinney’s city council will vote on whether to add a mega-mosque to the 300-plus “Islamic centers” now in Texas alone.
A “Red-Green axis” candidate like Zohran Mamdani is expected to win today the Democratic nomination to be Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.
And tomorrow a key Massachusetts House committee will consider a sharia-supremacist bill that would institutionalize preferential treatment for Muslims there.
Wonder what America will look like 25 years from now?

Beware Sharia-supremacist "Allies"

President Trump announced yesterday that a devastating attack planned for Iran was called off at the request of “the allies” in the Middle East, evidently because they claim another “deal” to address the mullahs’ pursuit of nuclear weapons and control of the Strait of Hormuz is now at hand.
The question occurs, are the nations involved actually our allies and what is motivating them? Of particular concern are Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan.
All three are nations are committed to the worldwide imposition of Islam’s political-military-legal strategy for conquest known as sharia. So are the Iranian Shiite ayatollahs. So is the terrorist group Hamas, of whom they all are supportive.
Consequently, the diplomatic “help” we are getting from such “allies” – whether in saving Iran’s regime or brokering a fraught Gaza deal – advances the sharia-supremacists’ agenda, but not our vital interests.

We Better Hit "Pause" on "FrankenAI"

So-called “frontier” artificial intelligence is going rogue. Think of it as FrankenAI.
Anthropic and OpenAI have both reported in recent days that their AI agents have autonomously attacked other organizations, apparently without authorization from humans or prior notice.
The trouble is this is assuredly but a small foretaste of what is being unleashed.
Leaders in the industry like Elon Musk have been warning for some time that the pell-mell pursuit of ever more powerful AI technology risks creating instruments for the destruction of civilization.
The notion that we must do so lest we “lose the race” with Communist China, sets up a no-win nightmare: Either we create doomsday AI or they do, with the help of American big tech.
We better hit “pause” on both our own headlong rush to create FrankenAI and stop enabling the CCP’s.

The Constitution of the United States is by its own Article VI the “supreme law of the land.” Yet, adherents to Islam’s political-military-legal strategy for conquest known as sharia are increasingly insisting that we accommodate their demands for it to be practiced here.
Doing so, however, would have the effect of directly undermining our Constitution and its preeminent status. Over time, the inevitable result will be to supplant the very foundation of our Republic and replace the God-given freedoms it guarantees with totalitarianism.
A profound question occurs – and must now be addressed: If sharia-adherent individuals seek elective office or are voted into such positions, how can they honestly swear to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic?
The simple truth is that they can’t. They should be deemed ineligible to serve, and prevented from doing so.

Fauci Lied, People Died

Dr. Anthony Fauci will be interrogated today by Senator Rand Paul and colleagues regarding the provenance of the COVID-19 virus and his role in its deadly rampage.
The Senator recently disseminated what he describes as the personal diaries of the former medical uber-bureaucrat who was lionized by millions for his purported heroic role in protecting the nation against that disease. The contents include incriminating evidence that “Fauci lied. People died.”
This will not be news to those who followed the extraordinary work of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Naomi Wolf and the team of volunteers who mined Pfizer’s damning internal documents. Ditto the Team B III book entitled China is at War with America which clearly established COVID was a Chinese bioweapon, deliberately sent here to kill Americans.
Let Tony Fauci’s long-overdue trial at least in the court of public opinion begin.
