Secure Freedom Minute: The “War” Next Time

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.    Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer, that service’s top enlisted soldier, recently declared, “I have never been to war.”    To be sure, over his decades of decorated service, that veteran special operator has fought in many of our nation’s military actions, including the…

Secure Freedom Minute: Deter Iran’s Next Attack on Israel

America’s most important ally currently is braced for an attack by Iran and/or its proxies. Thanks to Iranian arms transfers, Hezbollah alone can devastate Israel with many thousands of missiles capable of reaching all her territory.   Some of these weapons are believed to be capable of unleashing electro-magnetic pulses that could disrupt the Jewish…

Secure Freedom Minute: Does National Security Still Matter?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.   Once upon a time, the United States government took seriously the idea that national security matters. Those with ties to America’s enemies were ineligible to hold sensitive posts, lest they imperil the country.   That sensible principle has been profoundly undermined during the three Obama-Biden…

Secure Freedom Minute: Britain Lurches Towards the “China Model” – Are We Next?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.   Britain’s new leftist prime minister has responded to riots across his country by unveiling the expanded use of facial recognition, intelligence-sharing, “criminal behavior orders” and other surveillance techniques to restrict preemptively the movement and actions of opponents of the mass immigration that is radically transforming…

Secure Freedom Minute: Have We Entered Spiritual Warfare’s Decisive Phase?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.   The war on Judeo-Christian civilization has entered a new and possibly decisive phase.   Israel faces the distinct possibility of mass destruction at the hands of Sharia-supremacists in Iran and their proxies.   In the United Kingdom, a proto-civil war has broken out between natives…

Secure Freedom Minute: Maduro is a “Root Cause” of Illegal Immigration

The Harris-Biden administration yesterday announced that Edmundo Gonzalez overwhelming defeated Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in recent elections. Maduro insists that he won. It’s unclear what, if anything, the United States and its “international partners” will do to end the regime in Caracas that has long oppressed its own people and threatens ours.   After all,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Kamala’s True Identity – Dishonest

Former President Trump’s remarks to a group of black journalists yesterday focused attention on how Vice President Kamala Harris self-identifies. Unfortunately, that is not as what she is: namely, thoroughly dishonest.   Perhaps Kamala’s most dangerous untruths are those she repeatedly told about President Biden’s physical condition and fitness for office. For nearly four years,…

Secure Freedom Minute: Two Big Ones Down in Iran’s War Against the West

Two assassinations in twelve hours have taken out top leaders of Iran’s proxy war against Israel. They also serve as a reminder that the Jewish State is fighting in that war not only her enemies, but ours.   Israeli forces eliminated in Beirut Fuad Shukr, a top commander of Hezbollah. They have yet to acknowledge a…

Secure Freedom Minute: We are Recklessly “Not Prepared” for War

For decades after World War II, the U.S. military was sensibly required to be able to fight and win two major wars in different parts of the world simultaneously. After Ronald Reagan bloodlessly defeated the Soviet Union, that requirement steadily shrank.   A new, congressionally mandated report says that, under the Biden-Harris administration, America’s armed…

Secure Freedom Minute: To Arms! Evil is on the March

There’s an increasingly obvious common-denominator to what’s going on throughout the world: Evil is on the march. Its object is nothing less than the destruction of the West’s Judeo-Christian civilization and nations – especially ours and Israel’s – in which it has both been rooted and flourished.   The demonic display in which transvestites obscenely…

Secure Freedom Minute: Will Kamala Denounce the “Red-Green Axis”?

Vice President Kamala Harris met yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and, unlike President Biden who did the same separately, she spoke to the press afterwards. Kamala simultaneously acknowledged Israel’s right to defend itself and sharply denounced how the Jewish State is doing so.   Presumably her remarks played well with the pro-Hamas rioters…

Secure Freedom Minute: Bibi’s Finest Hour?

Today may be Benjamin Netanyahu’s finest hour. If so, it will be because when Israel’s leader addresses a Joint Session of Congress, he will speak truth to power.   The truth is that Israel is fighting a war for Judeo-Christian civilization against Sharia-supremacists who seek her destruction and ours. Because Israelis are doing so, we may…

Secure Freedom Minute: Bibi’s Much-Needed Message to America

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come to Washington to speak directly to the American people via a Joint Session of Congress. It’s necessitated by the overt hostility he faces from a Biden-Harris administration determined to topple him.     Bibi’s message is expected to be…

Secure Freedom Minute: Dangerous Unfitness and the Liars that Enable It

Our country is in extremis. We face a world of dangerous enemies and panicking allies. And threats on the home front are at an unprecedented level.    At this juncture, we simply cannot afford to have the U.S. presidency in unfit hands. Yet, Joe Biden has been unfit for office at least since he ran…

Secure Freedom Minute: Bibi’s Better Idea – Crushing Hamas

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address Congress next week. The Biden administration continues pressing him to agree to a permanent ceasefire with Hamas, effectively translating into its victory over Israel.   Fortunately, “Bibi” increasingly has another option: Hamas’ complete defeat. Despite Team Biden’s incessant interference – aimed at dragging out the conflict, propping up…

Secure Freedom Minute: The WHO’s “October Surprise”?

Negotiators in Geneva are frantically completing a Pandemic Treaty, the second in as many months, designed to give the World Health Organization ominous new powers – ostensibly to deal with “public health emergencies of international concern.”    What’s the rush?   First, they need to get these “global governance” accords in place while Joe Biden…

Secure Freedom Minute: The Food Front in the CCP’s People’s War

As Republicans began their national convention yesterday, the Chinese Communist Party launched its Third Party Plenum. While the public agenda of this critical meeting is the need for economic reforms in China, it comes against the backdrop of a People’s War declared against the United States in May 2019.    People’s War entails a whole-of-society…

Secure Freedom Minute: Reject Joe Biden’s Freudian Slip

Despite the use Sunday night of a teleprompter during his nationally broadcast address concerning the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Joe Biden managed to utter twice a stunning Freudian slip.    He declared that, “In America, we resolve our differences at the battle box. You know, that’s how we do it, at the battle box, not with…

Secure Freedom Minute: Two Momentous Choices

Two impending decisions will tremendously impact both America’s political future and our national security amidst what is arguably the most dangerous strategic environment ever.   Joe Biden’s insistence that he will remain his party’s nominee and U.S. president intolerably exacerbates our present peril. The Chinese Communist Party and our other adversaries see an exploitable opportunity to…
