Secure Freedom Minute: Krebs Left the 2020 Election Infrastructure Insecure

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Secure Freedom Minute: To Start Unifying the Country, Repudiate the Anti-Trump “Lists”

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. It’s not exactly surprising that hard leftists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a number of her fellow travelers have announced that they are creating lists of Trump supporters, in and out of government. After all, that’s what totalitarians do to punish, if not actually destroy, their enemies…

Secure Freedom Minute: Don’t Lie to Us – The 2020 Elections WERE Compromised

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Last Thursday, government officials charged with protecting 2020 election infrastructure declared, “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” That categorical statement is either a witting falsehood or indicative of gross incompetence. There’s plenty…

Secure Freedom Minute: US Underwriting of China’s Military IS a National Emergency

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Yesterday, Donald Trump issued what may prove to be the most important Executive Order of his presidency.

The CCP uses hundreds of…

Secure Freedom Minute: EveryLegalVote.com

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Generations of American patriots have sacrificed everything, including their…

Secure Freedom Minute: Needed – An Anti-Insurrectionist SecDef

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Yesterday, President Trump fired Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. One of several reasons was likely determinative – and must not be repeated by his interim successor.

Secure Freedom Minute: The President-Not-Yet

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Throughout the 2020 election, the so-called “mainstream media” has been shown – together with their giant social media counterparts – to be Democratic partisans, if not actually propaganda arms of that increasingly radical leftist party. A particularly egregious example came late in the campaign when there…

Secure Freedom Minute: It’s Time to Designate the CCP as a T.C.O.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. There’s another party besides the Democratic one that is pleased as punch at the prospect of Donald Trump’s defeat. That would be the Chinese Communist Party. It’s evident in the gloating taking place in the CCP’s various propaganda outlets – which rival those of the mainstream…

Secure Freedom Minute: God Spare us a Fraudulent Outcome

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. While the U.S. presidential election has yet to be decided, “vote dumps” in contested states involving large numbers of ballots produced long after the polls closed – with every single one cast for Joe Biden – suggest that a winner may be fraudulently declared in the…

Secure Freedom Minute: God Help Us

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. President Trump has declared that he won yesterday’s hotly contested election.

Secure Freedom Minute: Vote as if freedom depends on it, because it does

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. My old boss, Ronald Reagan, famously declared that every generation faces an existential threat to freedom.

Secure Freedom Minute: Address this foreign threat to our elections

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The integrity of tomorrow’s elections is being threatened in a number of ways. One that’s particularly ominous has, to date, been little discussed and apparently gone uncorrected.  Incredibly, no fewer than 28 of our states – including 10 swing states – have their vote counts processed…

Secure Freedom Minute: Job 1 for the Next POTUS will be the CCP

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. While there are myriad uncertainties about the outcome of next week’s presidential election, one thing is certain.

Secure Freedom Minute: We Must Not Underwrite the CCP’s “Technologically Enhanced Totalitarianism”

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Deputy National Security Advisor Matthew Pottinger, who is arguably the U.S. government’s most knowledgeable expert on the Chinese Communist Party, recently spoke in Mandarin to the people of China and others threatened by what he calls the technologically-enhanced totalitarianism of Xi Jinping’s regime. Mr. Pottinger described…

Secure Freedom Minute: The End of Free and Fair U.S. Elections?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Everyone is getting into the act of trying to influence next week’s elections. Iran and Russia have used cyber means to interfere.

Secure Freedom Minute: A Yawning Electoral Vulnerability – Stop Counting US Votes in Spain

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Our democracy is under cyberattack. The Director of National Intelligence revealed yesterday that Iranian operatives have sent threatening emails aimed at influencing voters’ choice for president. DNI John Ratcliffe offered reassurances that our government is “on top of this.” Hopefully, that’s the case. Confidence would be…

Secure Freedom Minute: Stop Weaponizing Intelligence for Partisan Purpose

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. For patriotic national security professionals, what has happened lately to some of our most important frontline agencies has been traumatic and demoralizing.
