Secure Freedom Minute

Joe Biden addresses the nation in prime-time tonight about his response to the pandemic the Chinese Communist Party unleashed on this country and the rest of the world. Yet, you’re unlikely to hear him mention the source of the ensuing catastrophe.

Another example of Biden-Harris efforts to appease Beijing is its tortured acknowledgement that the CCP has engaged in genocide and that nothing has changed in its behavior. But the State Department refuses to admit that the genocide is ongoing.

Avoidable wars sometimes begin with miscalculations. Chinese dictator Xi Jinping may perceive an opportunity – between such symbolic signs of our submission, his government’s deep compromise of the Biden family and the President’s mental infirmity, which must have been evident in the course of their recent, two-hour conversation – that the time is ripe for aggression.

Any such perception must be convincingly countered now.

On Monday, Joe Biden’s State Department spokesman attempted to explain that his administration agrees that the Chinese Communist Party used to be engaged in genocide against Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities. But it isn’t saying whether the CCP is still doing so.

Now, there’s no evidence that anything has changed in western China. Scores of concentration camps still operate there. Women are still being subjected to serial rape and involuntary abortions and sterilizations. And slave labor factories still manufacture goods for American companies and markets.

The only change is that, after the President spoke for two hours to the man responsible for this genocide, China’s dictator Xi Jinping, Mr. Biden seemed to excuse Xi’s crime against humanity because China just has different “cultural norms.”

Sort of like Joe Biden used to be President, but it’s not clear whether he still is.

Joe Biden couldn’t remember yesterday the name of his Secretary of Defense, or even that of the Pentagon in which he works. This is, unfortunately, not an isolated “senior moment” of forgetfulness.

It is now part of pattern of behavior that dates back to his nearly invisible role in the 2020 campaign, a pattern that raises serious questions about Mr. Biden’s mental competence and fitness to serve as President at a time of growing domestic and foreign challenges.

We can no longer accept less than full disclosure about the Commander-in-Chief’s condition. That’s especially so if, as seems to be the case, such secrecy is enabling the implementation the most radical leftist policy and legislative agenda in the nation’s history – an agenda that might just prove impossible to adopt if Kamala Harris, the most radical leftist Vice President ever, were formally in charge.

Keith Ellison is the Attorney General of Minnesota. He is also a socialist with extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. That background intensifies concerns that General Ellison may have invited a wave of violence in his own state – and possibly across the country – at the hands of other radical leftists.

Ellison appears to have overcharged Derek Chauvin, the former police officer accused of murdering George Floyd. If so, Chauvin may be acquitted, providing a pretext to groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa to renew their violent rampages.

If things go bad, federal help may not be in the offing, given Joe Biden’s past refusal to condemn such revolutionary activity and Kamala Harris’ professed solidarity with its perpetrators. With the FBI evidently fixated on a purported domestic terrorism threat from Trump supporters, America may be in for unchecked and widespread mayhem.

Yesterday, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved and sent to the full Senate the nomination of President Biden’s pick to be the next Secretary of the Interior Department. Her name is Congresswoman Deb Haaland.

Yesterday, the House of Representatives approved Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s top priority on a straight party line vote. By so doing, it has moved to the Senate legislation that would effectively preclude free and fair elections in the future.

The so-called “For the People Act” – H.R.1 in the House and S.1 in the Senate – would permanently impose the sorts of problematic voting practices and processes that were used in a number of states in the 2020 elections. While Democratic partisans and their allies in the media insist otherwise, such arrangements caused last year’s presidential race to be marred by widespread and material irregularities, misconduct and outright fraud. They must not be legitimated, let alone enshrined in law.

Yet, that is what would happen if Democrats in the Senate muscle S.1 through. Senators need to know NOW if that’s not okay with their constituents.

It’s becoming clear that the Biden-Harris administration and its congressional allies are engaged in what can only be called a wrecking operation.

The cumulative impact of a raft of presidential executive orders, policy changes and legislative initiatives is a debilitating assault on the Constitution, our freedoms and the national security. At risk are, among other things: future free and fair elections, our borders, right to bear arms, freedom of speech and religious liberty.

Especially alarming is the relentless inflaming of racial tensions with the reinstitution of virulent “critical race theory” curricula, systematic vilification of white Americans and now reparations for black ones.

Liberal author Naomi Wolf warns that totalitarianism is animating the Biden administration and its friends. So, patriots of every political stripe must come together to oppose such a “fundamental” and terrifying transformation of our country.

U.S. Marines are renowned for there being “No better friend, no worse enemy.” The Biden-Harris administration seems, however, to want foreigners to conclude that, as in the Obama-Biden years, it is better to be America’s enemy than its friend.

Consider Joe Biden’s efforts to undo his predecessor’s generally successful Mideast policies. From the get-go, he’s acted to undermine two relatively friendly nations in the region, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The latest blow was a so-called “intelligence report” asserting the de facto Saudi ruler ordered a political opponent’s murder.

These are but a few of numerous Biden-Harris initiatives calculated to appease America’s principal foe in that part of the world: the terrorist-sponsoring, nuclear weapons-building, Sharia-supremacist Iranian regime.

Folks, punishing our friends and rewarding our enemies assures we’ll have a lot fewer friends and a lot more emboldened enemies.

Our 45th President had his audience and tens of millions of others of us at “Hello” when he memorably addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference yesterday. Donald Trump asked, “Do you miss me yet?” and a resounding affirmative answer rang out across the land – and became even more heartfelt in the course of the ninety minutes that followed.

Partly that was because Mr. Trump powerfully recalled the accomplishments of his time in the presidency and contrasted them with the immense damage his successor has already done to our national security, economic strength, relations with allies and adversaries and public health.

The former President also laid out his vision for restoring an America in which elections are once again free and fair, our borders secure, our economy vibrant, our enemies deterred and our God-given, constitutionally guaranteed freedoms intact.

Let’s make it so.

House Democrats are expected today to approve a $1.9 trillion legislative Christmas tree masquerading as a crisis response to the ongoing pandemic. President Biden insists that every dime is urgently needed, asking rhetorically what would anyone propose be left out.

Sean Hannity responded last night by noting that only 9% of this massive spending bill directly relates to the damage done by the so-called Covid virus. The rest of it is earmarked for unrelated, pork-barrel priorities of congressional leaders and their favored lobbies.

If enacted, this legislation will effectively mean we’ll be printing lots more money. That could prove the last straw for the dollar, whose status as the world’s reserve currency the Communist Chinese and others are determined to end.

If that happens, the resulting devastation of our economy will make the present crisis look like the good old days.
