Secure Freedom Minute

My friend, Pete Hegseth, is being subjected to relentless criticism led by a combination of Marxists, jihadists and a Libertarian named Rep. Thomas Massey. Massey wants the Secretary of War to resign or face impeachment, asserting his Democratic allies will be even more harsh next year.

Characteristically, Pete is defiant. And he should be, as his record is arguably that of the best leader of the Pentagon in decades. 

Over the past two years, Secretary Hegseth has: led the way in restoring the U.S. military literally to fighting trim; managed warfighting in Iran with devastating effect and extremely few casualties; begun rebuilding our defense industrial base; and otherwise strengthened the national security.

For example, a PresentDangerChina.org webinar this week showcased Pete’s efforts to end Chinese and other nations’ subversive influence operations against young Americans.

Thanks for your service, Pete. Stay the course!

Well, that didn’t take long. Less than twenty-four hours after Democrats won sweeping victories across the country, the chairman of their Governors Association, Andy Beshear of Kentucky, repeated a favorite meme dismissing the existence of “enemies from within.”

But Democratic Socialists of America and Muslim Brotherhood-aligned candidates were just elected to numerous federal and state offices across the country. Predictably, Beshear’s whitewash of his party’s new standard-bearers will be relentlessly repeated.  

What comes next is equally bankable: Those of us who will tell the truth and oppose these radicals’ takedown of the USA will be censored and punished.

It behooves President Trump and other patriots not only to insist that there are enemies within, both Marxists and jihadists. But he must also do something about the threat they pose, starting now by designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

With yesterday’s nationwide electoral rout, Republicans will be compelled to analyze what went so wrong. Even more important is deciding what they will stand for and do now – in particular, over the next two months.

One overarching mistake was the GOP’s failure to articulate consistently and nationalize what was at stake, namely a choice between freedom and slavery. Now, we’ll have empowered Democrats promoting censorship, sedition and submission to sharia. 

It behooves Donald Trump and outgoing Texas Governor Greg Abbott to seize the day. The President must accelerate construction of the border wall, designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and join the Israelis in finishing the job in Iran by liberating its people.

And Gov. Abbott must investigate the likelihood that sharia-supremacist mosques in Texas endanger public safety and national security – and ensure no more are approved for the duration.

As I speak, it is Election Day. And that means every eligible American citizen is called to contribute to the future direction of our country. 

As it happens, we’re being asked to decide whether we want to continue to enjoy the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution or embrace and empower adherents to ideologies that require its destruction and have resulted in the enslavement of populations around the world.

To be clear, this portentous choice will be made not only by those who vote, but by those who don’t. That’s right: There are millions of Americans who would overwhelmingly vote for liberty, but who will share responsibility for its imperiling if they don’t. 

If you could be among them, I entreat you to vote in person today, and not effectively cast a vote you wouldn’t at the polls by staying home.

Election Day is at hand and the choice could not be more stark. 

Taken altogether, it is one between freedom and slavery. 

Unfortunately, voters have not had it put so starkly. Instead, they have been insistently told it is between “common sense and crazy.” Postmortems on the outcomes will probably find that narrative misled them about what the Red-Green axis dominating today’s Democratic Party actually has in mind.

There is, after all, method to the Marxist-jihadists’ “madness.” They are intent on overthrowing the government of the United States and, according to copious evidence produced by DataRepublican, appear prepared to use extra-electoral means to accomplish that goal.

Abraham Lincoln famously warned that, “If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” 

Choose freedom.

Two groups of women need to see a powerful new “micro-documentary” being released today called “Not in America.” The first would be Muslim women here who must submit to brutal repression mandated by Islam’s sharia. The second would be all our country’s other women.

This free 2-minute video powerfully depicts the horrors to which women are subjected under what amounts to the Islamic strategy for conquest. 

Its main point is that those horrors violate rights to which Muslim and non-Muslim women in this country alike are entitled. These include the rights not to be covered head-to-toe, beaten and raped by their husband and summarily divorced.

This latest BanSharia.com video is meant to help ensure that all women in America know and can freely exercise their rights – and that those who can do so today understand sharia-supremacists intend to take those rights away.

Arab/Muslim voters supporting candidates committed to the destruction of the state of Israel succeeded in waging “election jihad” in Tuesday’s elections there. 

Now it’s headed to a poll near you. 

The Muslim Brotherhood and other sharia-supremacist networks in this country have built thousands of mosques that enable that form of jihad. 

They’re being used to register Muslim voters, get them to the polls and direct them to vote and for whom. The result is ninety-plus percent engagement by Muslim communities and bloc-voting for approved candidates.

There is still time to rally freedom-loving Americans to prevent election victories by jihadists and their Marxist allies. 

Absent such an effort, don’t be surprised if the electoral jihadists achieve surprising successes here – and then we’re told their political power is such that the only way forward is to submit to sharia. 

That must not happen.

Speaking this week in Michigan, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. warned that the Muslim Brotherhood is “a terrorist organization” that promotes sharia, which he described as “an ideology of victimization, murder and genocide” set on the destruction of Western civilization.

In particular, “Bobby” denounced that ideology’s horrific mistreatment of women. The fact that it requires every Muslim male to emulate “the perfect man” Mohammed – who beat, raped, enslaved and condoned the murder of women and girls – is one of the reasons sharia cannot be deemed a religion. 

Instead, RJK Jr. called it “a death-cult.” Its practices are virtually without exception illegal in America, not protected by our First Amendment.

Secretary Kennedy deserves great credit for reminding especially Democrats who are countenancing – let alone enabling – sharia’s infiltration into this country that they are endangering not only female Americans, but freedom itself. 

Bravo, Bobby!

In June 2015, Donald Trump was shocked to learn of the American electric grid’s vulnerability to attack. He was incredulous that little had been done to correct the problem and promised that he would do so as president. 

Yesterday, his Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, announced an initiative that may do more than any other to that end. The Pentagon is requiring its major U.S. installations be able to operate independently from civilian electric and other infrastructures for ninety days. 

Fulfilling that tasking will be daunting. But it is vital, especially given the presence here of Chinese soldiers, jihadists and other enemies within certain to try to render our military incapable of projecting power. 

Just trying to mitigate that danger, however, should also catalyze the long-overdue “hardening” of our civilian infrastructure as Mr. Trump promised eleven years ago.

President Trump has correctly described Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdurahman el-Sayed as “a jihadist” tied to “the Muslim Brotherhood.” 

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have designated that group as a terrorist organization. Mr. Trump has, too, with respect to three foreign Brotherhood franchises in addition to its Palestinian one, Hamas.

Obviously, public safety and national security are endangered if terrorists can use the Brothers’ hundreds of mosques here as critical infrastructure for violent jihad. And there’s every reason to believe such preparations are happening today across the country, as well as the pre-kinetic “electoral jihad” being practiced by el-Sayed and others.   

President Trump should join in designating the Brotherhood in America as a terrorist group and investigate every one of their mosques as the threats they are. In the meantime, no more should be approved in this country.
