Secure Freedom Minute

A former leader of the Tea Party movement and legislator uniquely knowledgeable about U.S. fiscal policy and taxation issued a sobering warning yesterday on Steve Bannon’s War Room Pandemic program.

Michele Bachmann declared, “We are now facing an act of war against the people of the United States.” Specifically, she accused the Biden-Harris administration of mounting an effort to “bring us down” by advancing a succession of spending bills that will “bankrupt the country” and “destroy the value of our dollar.”

Eliminating the dollar as the world’s reserve currency would have those effects – advancing a top goal of Joe Biden’s friend, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. For his part, Xi is promoting, among other alternatives, a new China-backed cryptocurrency.

Before another budget-busting Biden bill is enacted, we need to establish whether it will help the Chinese destroy the dollar, and America.

The installation of the Biden-Harris administration with its radical leftist policy agenda and corresponding personnel choices seems poised to prove with a vengeance the adage that   

“Elections have consequences.”

For example, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris expressed sympathy for those who perpetrated last summer’s violent rioting across the country. They seem inattentive to the prospects for a real insurrection nationwide should groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter act on their preparations to revert to form if former police officer Derick Chauvin is found not guilty of murdering George Floyd.

Meanwhile, overseas we see China poised to invade Taiwan, Russia poised to invade Ukraine and Iran poised to obtain nuclear weapons – a step a number of nations have resolved to prevent.

The question occurs: Will the Biden-Harris administration change its character and course in time to prevent such horribly consequential events?

Democrats in Washington and their partisans in the media and corporate headquarters are relentlessly attacking legislation recently enacted for the purpose of restoring election integrity in Georgia. They insist it would suppress minority votes.

That’s manifestly not true. But the lie is nonetheless being pushed in the service of suppressing something else – namely, free and fair elections nationwide.

Specifically, in coming days, the U.S. Senate is expected to act on S.1, federal legislation that would impose throughout our Union fraud-inviting rules like those that led to contested election results, not only in Georgia’s presidential race, but in five other swing states, as well.

Senator Mitch McConnell and every one of his Republican colleagues must withstand the sorts of vicious criticism now being directed at patriotic Americans in Georgia to assure that all of our votes are not suppressed from now on.

Hunter Biden, the President’s surviving son, has launched a promotional tour for a memoir designed to evoke sympathy for his addictions and other demons. It’s also calculated to deflect attention from his serious misdeeds and apparently illegal activity. Amazingly, he actually got paid a $3 million advance for this instrument of political sleight-of-hand.

Particularly troubling is the prospect that the book may help the younger Biden dodge accountability for his scandalous business dealings with Chinese Communist spies seeking to acquire sensitive U.S. technology and compromise the man who is now our Commander-in-Chief.

A former top Trump advisor, Peter Navarro, has documented alarming revelations on what Hunter has disingenuously acknowledged “could be” his laptop. Dr. Navarro warns that his access to the White House could put at risk classified information. Unfortunately, the same could be said of his father.

President Biden’s new, multi-trillion dollar infrastructure initiative proves a shocking reality: We’re in the midst of a Marxist takeover of America.

Through what’s billed as a visionary upgrade of the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, the Biden-Harris team seeks to impose its radical climate change agenda, a fundamental transformation of our energy sector and the effective institution of government-directed, centrally planned economics.

As Saul Alinsky prescribed, Washington’s Marxists are simultaneously working to dismantle other fundamentals of our constitutional Republic, as well – from precluding future free and fair elections, to denying freedom of speech and religion to ending gun rights. And any who oppose such actions will be considered “domestic terrorists.” 

Did anyone give the Marxists a mandate to do all this? Of course not. But that is why they are moving so aggressively to lock it all in. Object now, while you still can.

President Biden just doubled down on the wrecking operation he is conducting against the U.S. military. The cumulative effect of his administration’s sustained assault on our armed forces is as predictable as was his dismantling of our border security policy and programs: It will needlessly endanger this country and the American people.

Under Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the Pentagon has reinstituted critical race theory trainings that vilify all white servicemen and women as racists. Troops suspected of alignment with President Trump, conservative values or other so-called “extremism” are being subjected to investigations and purges. And yesterday, transgender individuals were cleared to serve in uniform and have taxpayers fund their expensive sex-change operations. 

Readiness is being eroded, as is morale. Our enemies will be emboldened as our best warriors stop volunteering to serve in a hollowed-out, politicized and disastrously led military.

Millions of Americans are awakening with horror to what Barack Obama famously promised in 2008 would be the “fundamental transformation” of our country. Many ask: How did this happen? And what can we do to get our country back?

The short answer is we are witnessing the cumulative effects of a decades-long campaign the Marxists call “the long march through the institutions.” U.S. universities and schools, Hollywood, the media, religious communities and, of course, our political system have been relentlessly targeted, radicalized and subverted into instruments of warfare against the nation. Lately, the Left’s ominous weaponization of much of corporate America is becoming evident, too.

Fortunately, the Back to Neutral Coalition – a team of patriots like us – is launching today the StopCorporateTyranny.org web site. It’s a terrific resource for learning about, and pushing back against, so-called “woke capitalism” and board room thuggery.

The World Health Organization, an international agency known to be deeply compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, has just concluded a problematic investigation into the source of the murderous Coronavirus pandemic. Today, its findings exonerating the CCP from any responsibility and echoing its party-line that bats naturally spread the virus will be rolled out with much fanfare.

This disinforming bottom-line will be pushed hardest by a WHO investigator named Dr. Peter Daszak. He’s a British zoologist who has long been implicated in the work of the Chinese biowarfare laboratory known as the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which he insists was not involved in the outbreak.

But the U.S. government knows the lab was doing work on mutating coronaviruses because, thanks to Dr. Tony Fauci, it paid for such so-called “gain-of-function” research there.

Sorry, Dr. Daszak, we want a second opinion.

Ominous storm clouds are unmistakably gathering in the western Pacific. In recent weeks, America’s mortal enemy – the Chinese Communist Party – has exhibited an increasing aggressiveness across a broad front.

For example, the throw-down in Alaska in which top Chinese diplomats insulted their American counterparts and our country has been accompanied by indicators of belligerence to come including: intensifying aerial and naval exercises targeting Taiwan; preparations for another fortified bastion in the South China Sea; and the construction of a huge heliport suitable for launching lightning airborne assaults across the Taiwan Strait.

The question occurs: Did President Biden in his two-hour conversation with Xi Jinping last month say something that encouraged the Chinese dictator to believe the United States would countenance such threatening behavior – or worse? Americans have a need to know, and an opportunity to take corrective action. Show us the transcript.

Joe Biden’s first presidential press conference yesterday prompted a troubling question, albeit one not asked by a palpably controlled White House press corps: Namely, who’s actually in charge?

Mr. Biden’s hapless performance makes clear that it is somebody else. But who? The woman he has repeatedly called President Harris? His Chief of Staff, Ron Klain? Or perhaps it really is Barack Obama’s third term, largely staffed by his former subordinates?

The fact that we don’t know the answer is not just a problem for accountability and democratic governance. It seems increasingly to be a gambit designed to obscure the truly radical character of the new administration’s policies and agenda. Were that evident, the opposition would surely intensify.

If Joe Biden is PINO – President in name only, it is both unacceptable and an inducement to act out for America’s enemies, foreign and domestic.
