Secure Freedom Minute: Why the CCP Is Lashing Out – It is at War with Us

Seventy countries have responded to President Trump’s insistence on reciprocity in bilateral trade relations by seeking to negotiate with the United States. Communist China is not among them. While the Chinese Communist Party left the door to negotiations open a crack, its overwhelming response is belligerent retaliation. Obviously, it hopes to avoid humiliating submission –…

Secure Freedom Minute: Mr. President, Use Your Financial Leverage on the CCP, Too

President Trump has set the stage for further, dramatic tariffs on a recalcitrant Chinese Communist Party, possibly exceeding 100% on its imports. He is catalyzing an economic disengagement from that mortal enemy that is long overdue. As it happens, the President has another source of leverage in the form of an “America First Investment Policy”…

Secure Freedom Minute: Three Cheers for “Raisin” Caine!

Last week, the Senate Armed Services Committee held a confirmation hearing for the man President Trump has selected to be the Nation’s top military officer: Lieutenant General John Caine. This warrior’s replacement of Joe Biden’s Joint Chiefs Chairman, General C.Q. Brown, couldn’t be more welcome – or needed. General Caine, known by his Air Force…

Secure Freedom Minute: Get the CCP Off Our Military Bases

Just when it seemed the Chinese Communist Party’s penetration of America couldn’t get worse, it has. What could be more perilous than having, for example, 400 of China’s transformers in – and endangering – our electric grid and tens of thousands of PRC soldiers at large in our country?  Well, decorated Green Beret veteran and…

Secure Freedom Minute: Judicial Pay-to-Play Should be Rejected in Wisconsin

Today, the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history concludes in Wisconsin. The prime reason is the expectation that, if the leftist candidate being supported by immense amounts of money from George Soros and other Democrat donors, Susan Crawford, prevails she will inject herself in deciding congressional redistricting. It would give the term “activist judge”…

Secure Freedom Minute: Today’s Minutemen Defeat the CCP in Michigan

Like the Minutemen at Concord almost exactly 250 years ago, patriots in Michigan have successfully pushed back an invading enemy – in this case the Chinese Communist Party set on establishing a toxic electric battery manufacturing plant in the state’s rural north. Faced with concerted and sustained local opposition strongly  supported by House China Committee…

Secure Freedom Minute: Secure America’s “Pacific Heartland” Now!

On Saturday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth marked the 80th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima, liberated from Imperial Japan in World War II at a cost of 26,000 killed. This occasion, like the rest of Pete’s travels across the Western Pacific last week, offered a most-needed reminder of the importance of the vast region’s strategic…

Secure Freedom Minute: Focus on Deterring Incipient Attacks

It’s a bad time for official Washington to be consumed with a Signal group chat involving top national security officials and a highly partisan journalist. After all, Russia and China appear poised for military aggression that, if not deterred, could prove catastrophic. Reportedly, there are multiple divisions worth of Russian troops massing in Belarus near…

Secure Freedom Minute: Will the SEC Enforce America First Investing – or China First?

For a dozen years, millions of U.S. investors have unwittingly had their pensions, college savings and other funds used to underwrite companies working for the Chinese military. That means they’ve helped our mortal enemy buy the weapons that may be used to kill them – and countless other Americans.  President Trump has announced an America…

Secure Freedom Minute: At Last, Gazans are Demanding an End to Hamas

Yesterday saw a potential breakthrough in the conflict in Gaza. It wasn’t the result of diplomacy. Or thanks to the renewed Israeli offensive there, although it surely was a contributing factor. Rather, for the first time since the war began when Hamas and not a few Gazan civilians murderously invaded Israel on October 7, 2023,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Hold China’s U.S. Financial Four Horsemen Accountable

Last month, President Trump rolled out an “America First Investment Policy.” It explicitly seeks to end Wall Street’s longstanding practice of investing Americans’ funds in Communist Chinese companies – especially those tied to the People’s Liberation Army. Four U.S. financial leaders – Jamie Dimon of J.P. Morgan, Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan, Morgan Stanley’s Ted…

Secure Freedom Minute: Will South Korea be Spared National Suicide?

South Korea’s Constitutional Court took a crucial step away from national suicide today. It rejected the impeachment of the county’s acting president approved by the country’s communist-dominated parliament.  It remains to be seen if the Court will do the same for the actual, elected president, Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached for declaring martial law…

Secure Freedom Minute: Resist the Temptation to Prop Up Erdogan

Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan has rivaled the likes of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Iran’s Ayatollah Khameini and Syria’s Bashir Assad for the length of his rule, its ruthless dictatorship at home and its aspirations for imperial power abroad.  In particular, in keeping with his Sharia-supremacist ideology, Erdogan has long sought to reconstitute the Ottoman empire and …

Secure Freedom Minute: Secretary Bessent – “Screen Out” Wall Street’s CATL Fundraiser, Now!

The new Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent affirmed yesterday the Trump administration’s determination to stop underwriting the growing threat posed by our greatest “foreign adversary”: Communist China.  Thus, a U.S. CFO has finally supported an “America First Investment Policy” that will screen “outbound investment” to respect American investors’ commonsensical unwillingness to facilitate the CCP’s military buildup,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Mr. President – Stop CATL

Last month, President Trump told his administration to implement an “America First Investment Policy” to stop Wall Street’s underwriting – and greatly intensifying – the threat we face from Communist China. This month, four prominent U.S. investment banks are defying his executive action by ramping up their China First investment policy. J.P. Morgan, Bank of…

Secure Freedom Minute: Britain’s Hard-Left Government

Britain’s hard-left government has temporarily entrusted its Office of Standards in Education to Sir Hamad Patel. If allowed to stand, this appointment would appear to mark a tipping point in Western submission to Sharia supremacism. Sir Hamad is ranked among the 500 top Muslims worldwide, a list dominated by adherence to authoritative Islam’s totalitarian doctrine…

Secure Freedom Minute: President Trump: Don’t Let Wall Street Put China First, Again

President Trump recently unveiled one of his most important initiatives called the “America First Investment Policy.” It’s supposed to end Wall Street’s insane practice of using U.S. retail investors’ retirement and other funds to help the Chinese Communist Party threaten our people – and repress those of China. Yesterday, Ronald Reagan’s financial warfare expert, Roger…

Secure Freedom Minute: What We Must “Want” in Iran – Its People’s Liberation

President Trump – like his predecessors – has insisted that Sharia-supremacist Iran will not be allowed to get “the Bomb.” Unfortunately, the ayatollahs can probably reveal at any time that they have done so. So, there’s great urgency to the ultimatum Mr. Trump gave  Iran’s regime this week, to either resume denuclearization negotiations or face…
