On August 15, 2016, then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gave one of his best speeches ever. It addressed with clarity and courage the threat of “radical Islamic terrorism” and what we need to do to “defeat it.”
After New Year’s attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, his analysis of the toxic ideological wellspring of ISIS and other jihadists, and his policy prescriptions for countering them,should be required reading – and the basis for immediate action.
We’re launching today a new Institute for the American Future to sponsor and maximize the impact of several groups anxious to help the new Trump administration take on such urgent tasks.
One called the Victory Coalition is dedicated to countering the ideology of radical Islam, best described as Sharia-supremacism.
Learn more about the Institute and how you can help the Victory Coalition at USFuture.org.

Help Ensure It's a Happy New Year

New Year’s Day is typically a time of optimism and cheerful resolutions for how we would like to conduct ourselves in the twelve months to come.
That is especially true at this juncture for those of us who voted for a new president in the person of Donald Trump, and a national course-correction.There are, unfortunately, people in our country who are not happy about that prospect. While many are simply Americans who favored Mr. Trump’s opponents, some are actual enemies of this country now present here in large numbers, including Chinese soldiers, jihadists, and domestic color revolutionaries.It behooves everyone who hopes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year to be alert to evidence of potential malevolence by such enemies that could imperil all that – and to report it promptly to their local sheriff or other authorities.This is Frank Gaffney.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.Millions of Americans reelected Donald Trump in response to the lies they were told and the damage inflicted on them by officials during the COVID-19 pandemic.By joining forces with Bobby Kennedy, Jr. and embracing “Make America Healthy Again,” Mr. Trump gave hope there would not only be accountability for previous malfeasance butno repetition of it.Now, however, we are witnessing an effort to manufacture – literally – a new pandemic involving “avian influenza,” reportedly engineered through gain-of-function research in aUSDA lab in Georgia.We remember our disastrous COVID-19 experiences and will not tolerate a repetition of man-made public health crises used to justify abuses of political power that result in renewed,unconstitutional infringements on our liberties and needless lossof life.The Trump-Kennedy team has a mandate to protect and promote medical freedom and must begin doing so now.This is Frank Gaffney.

The Chinese are "Trying to Destroy This Country"

On December 18 th , the New York Post featured the following headline: “Drones spotted near at least 17 military bases located next to Chinese-owned land in U.S.” What?!!!
The Biden administration has ignored, and in some cases, exacerbated the obvious threat posed by Chinese nationals buying up farmland and other real estate, even in proximity to sensitive national security sites.
At least seventeen such sites have lately had unidentified drones flying over them. While the reasonable conclusion is that the Chinese Communists are spying on our secret stuff, the drone overflights could also be dress rehearsals for actual attacks.
Incoming Trump Border Czar Tom Homan told Tucker Carlson recently that he thinks the Chinese – including 46,000 military age males now here illegally – are “trying to destroy this country.”
Now would be a good time to stop them from doing so.

So much for wishful thinking that a Syria liberated from the monstrous Bashir Assad regime would become a pluralistic democracy if only an al Qaeda veteran named Abu Mohammedal-Julani were fatuously transformed into a “moderate” politician and put in charge of the country.
In recent days, his designated terrorist group, known as HTS, and its Turkish enablers have made clear that their intentions are very different, witness the torching of Christmas trees, themurderous destruction of a shrine holy to Alawites and genocidal attacks on Kurds – setting the stage for the same to be done to other minorities.
Joe Biden has effectively greenlighted such crimes against humanity and invited worse by lifting the 10 million dollar bounty on al-Julani’s head and beginning to provide funding tohis regime.We must jettison this formula for far worse to come in Syria,and beyond.

Joe Biden's Legacy - A World of Hurt

Nearly two years ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited his Chinese counterpart, Communist Emperor Xi Jinping. They announced a “no-limits partnership” and the intention of changing the world.
Shortly thereafter, the first fruits of this toxic arrangement were manifested in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Ever since, the question has been: What else do these tyrants have in mind?
As 2024 ends, the answer now pretty clearly is serial strategic arson leading to global conflagration. I call it “World War Xi.”
It has already resulted in the wholesale destruction of Ukraine and the invasion of Israel leading to regional war throughout the Middle East. And the prospect that the Korean peninsula, Guyana, Taiwan and even our home front will be set afire next year cannot be ruled out.
Tragically, Joe Biden’s bequest to Donald Trump and America is a world of hurt.
