Secure Freedom Minute

The UN Security Council is poised to cause real and lasting harm to Israel. Will Team Biden enable that to happen? An impending, binding resolution would impose on Israel an "immediate, unconditional, and permanent cease-fire" in Gaza. It would enable Hamas to survive and, effectively, to win the war it murderously launched on October 7th last year.

In two weeks, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about a Tennessee law that protects children in that state from the physical mutilation and psychological trauma associated with so-called “gender-affirming care.” 

To its eternal shame, the Biden administration has sided with parents who support such child abuse.

Providentially, however, one of America’s most courageous frontline doctors, Simone Gold, has just released a powerful documentary called “What is a Doctor?” It searingly exposes the truth about the medical practitioners, hospitals and pharmaceutical industry that are profiting off of the lifetimes of health complications and suffering to which they are condemning purported “trans” kids who are incapable of providing informed consent. 

Simone’s film can be viewed for free on X, formerly known as Twitter, @frontlinefilmsu. I have seen it and urge every American – and Supreme Court justice – to do the same.

The professed commitment of the Biden-Harris administration to “democracy” always rang hollow. Notably, the total votes garnered by the Harris-Walz ticket roughly equaling the Democrats’ tallies in all recent presidential elections except for 2020’s suggests Biden’s victory that year was stolen, not free and fair.

Now, after Donald Trump’s recent popular vote and electoral college landslide, an administration genuinely attached to democratic rule would respect the repudiation of its policies at the polls. Instead, Team Biden is doubling down, notably with respect to two of its soundly rejected priorities.

First, it’s escalating the Ukraine-Russia war Donald Trump promised to end – inviting Vladimir Putin’s nuclear retaliation. And second, it’s further undermining Israel at the UN, a policy the incoming administration and the American people properly reject. 

Congress must insist the Bidenistas stand down, out of respect for democracy and our national security.

A.J. Rice Author of "The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine Peoples"

• I spoke with A.J. Rice about one of the most toxic manifestations of cultural Marxism in the United States, namely the effort to divide us along racial lines and otherwise foster animosity between people of various racial groups. 

Dr. Naomi Wolf, Author of “The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer's Crimes Against Humanity” 

• I discussed with Dr. Naomi Wolf the findings in a book called The Pfizer Papers, which describes an intensive volunteer-driven review and analysis of Documents Big Pharma's biggest company, Pfizer, produced and reluctantly disclosed, revealing what is, I believe indisputably, the greatest crime against humanity of all time. Namely, what Pfizer did to create, market, and knowingly disseminate a deadly and ineffective gene therapy made mandatory despite the fact that it would kill large numbers of its users.

A laudable hallmark of Donald Trump’s first presidency was “Promises made, promises kept.” With his selection of my friend, Pete Hegseth, to be the next Secretary of Defense, he seems set to deliver on one of his most important pledges in the 2024 campaign. Think of it as “Make America’s Military Great Again.”

While Pete is best known as a popular host on Fox News, he is also a decorated combat veteran and a longtime champion of a strong national security posture and the veterans who have sacrificed so much to protect us. 

He is also the author of, among other terrific books, The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free. It’s a powerful indictment of what has been done, as Barack Obama would say, to “fundamentally transform” the U.S. armed forces. 

The list includes using ideological purges, mandatory vaccinations and political commissars to remove patriots from the ranks and indoctrinate and suppress those who remain for believing the military must be a color-blind, merit-based institution rooted in and defending traditional American values – not intentionally and toxically divisive cultural Marxist norms.

President Trump pledged publicly in the course of the campaign to replace senior officers who went along with this so-called “Woke” agenda. He reportedly will put into place a commission of retired senior officers to review the records of all three- and four-star generals and admirals and recommend the immediate retirement of the many who have, as Pete put it, betrayed the men who keep us free.

At a moment when the world is an extremely dangerous place, there is no more pressing mission – and Trumpian promise to be kept – than restoring our national practice of “peace through strength.” Pete Hegseth is the man our next President has brilliantly selected to lead it and the new Republican Senate can’t get him to work soon enough!
