Secure Freedom Minute

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. In announcing a so-called “ceasefire” in Lebanon yesterday, Joe Biden said it was “designed to be permanent,” not just for two months. That would guarantee Hezbollah’s survival and enable it, over time, once again to threaten the destruction of Israel.
Biden also declared that he was going to turn next to securing a ceasefire in Gaza. And why not? The diplomatic coercion and weapons embargoes used to euchre the Israeli government into stopping short of victory in Lebanon can be employed to save Hamas, too.
Team Biden’s disastrous Mideast policies have enabled and invited Iran’s wars, putting the Jewish State in extreme peril. Unless President-elect Donald Trump mobilizes Americans who want Israel to win in demanding an immediate end to such betrayals of our ally, the successive victories being delivered to her enemies – and ours – may prove catastrophically irreversible.

Dede Laugesen, Executive Director at Save The Persecuted Christians & Elizabeth Yore, Yore Children
Dede Laugesen and I spoke with Liz Yore about a series of travesties that are taking place with the active connivance of Catholic Pope Francis, despite the horrific impact that they are having on both Catholics and other Christians, and, to that matter, members of non- Christian faith communities in communist China. The cumulative effect is more persecution of Christians and, quite possibly, the effective elimination of that population over time at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and I dissected the so-called ceasefire deal, unquote, that Israel is being coerced into accepting by a Biden administration apparently determined to assure the survival of Hezbollah and its sponsors in Iran. The analysis that the rabbi has provided is deeply shocking and must be seen to appreciate the magnitude of the betrayal that Israel has been subjected to and the dire consequences, not just for Israel but for us as well.

There are many examples of the disastrous impact of Joe Biden’s presidency. But perhaps the most dramatic and immediately dangerous is his “fundamental transformation” of the Middle East. He inherited from Donald Trump a region in which Israel was strong and increasingly at peace with Arab and other neighbors and Iran and its proxies were in check, if not regime-ending death spirals.
Now, thanks substantially to Biden's policies, Israel is fighting for her life in an eight-front war that has inflamed the region and turned much of the rest of the world against her. As we speak, Israel is being euchred into halting its highly successful, but incomplete, effort to destroy Hezbollah. If that happens, Joe Biden’s legacy will not be one of a peacemaker. He will forever be known as the president who sold out and deliberately imperiled the Jewish State.

Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow 
In a fascinating conversation with Todd Bensman, we discussed the state of the US border and the dangerous implications of it being opened by the Biden-Harris administration. The threats posed thereby, among other places, to Texas and what Governor Greg Abbott is doing to try to protect his people and his government And the rest of us from Chinese predations, as well as what Donald Trump must do to finish the wall and deport those who've come through escaping holes on his predecessor's watch and the difficulties he may confront in fulfilling his promises to seal the border and deport over 10 million illegal aliens now in this country.

Richard Kemp, Author of "Attack State Red" |@COLRICHARDKEMP 
I had a fascinating hour-long conversation with Colonel Richard Kemp about the state of the conflict that is threatening the very survival of the state of Israel, and that has enormous stakes for us as well in an eight-front war, including not only all of the kinetic ones but also the assault to which Israel is being subjected by the United Nations and the International Criminal Court and well, not least the Harris Biden administration.

Last week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a number of executive orders aimed at blocking insidious Chinese Communist Party actions in his state. While they included laudable measures to “harden” its government and protect its people from CCP harassment, one action is of surpassing importance.
In a letter to state agencies, Gov. Abbott declared: “I direct Texas investing entities that you are prohibited from making any new investments of state funds in China. To the extent you haveany current investments in China, you are required to divest at the first available opportunity.” 
With Texas now precluding investments in Chinese entities, Wall Street is on notice: Its practice of sluicing our money to CCP-controlled corporations – including many directly building weapons the People’s Liberation Army is acquiring to kill Americans and other companies helping brutally to oppress the people of China – must end.
