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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

This morning, our Victory Coalition opens a new front in the war to save our country. My colleague, John Guandolo, and I will brief Steve Bannon’s vast War Room audience concerning a mortal threat we face here, as well as elsewhere. Since at least 9/11, we’ve been told America confronts “terrorists” who inexplicably use violence…

The Trump 2.0 presidency is scarcely a week old and an epic struggle is already underway to subvert it from within. The problem is not simply the expected one of a hostile Deep State bureaucracy. Rather, it’s that a number of political appointees who do not share the President’s view of the threats we face…

The U.S. Senate is expected to confirm Pete Hegseth today as our next Defense Secretary. His appointment – and the return to the White House of the man who made it – are the most exciting developments in the national security arena since my old boss, Ronald Reagan, secured and fulfilled his mandate to practice…

Here’s a thought experiment: If the United States had a means of addictively informing, subversively manipulating and covertly collecting data on half the people of China – without the permission, let alone the control, of the ruling Chinese Communist Party – would the CCP allow us unilaterally to wield such a weapon against them? As…

A long time ago, I served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in Ronald Reagan’s Pentagon. In that role, I learned firsthand the truth of the President’s observation that “Personnel is policy.” So, I have grave concerns about entrusting the Defense Department’s Mideast policymaking post to Michael DiMino, a man with deeply problematic prescriptions.…

Gerald Ford’s remark on the occasion of his inauguration that “Our long national nightmare is over” kept running through my head as I watched Donald Trump’s second one yesterday. It’s a source of indescribable happiness that a presidency run by unknown, unaccountable, and radical leftists was finally done – and with it a wrecking operation…

The joyous return of three Israelis held hostage and abused by Hamas for fifteen months cannot obscure the reality of the deal that set them free: It’s not a ceasefire, it’s a hudna – a temporary pause jihadists use to emulate a diabolical strategy practiced by Islam’s prophet Mohammed. When Muslims adherent to Sharia’s totalitarian…

Donald Trump has recently stupefied his supporters by embracing Joe Biden’s policies towards Israel, antithetical to his own historic positions, to his campaign promises, and to our vital interests. Two new videos critically analyze the alarming Gaza ceasefire deal and how we got here. The first is a new podcast by my friend and colleague,…
