Secure Freedom Minute

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 not have to. But they do need our help resupplying the weapons required to win.

 

Bibi must also speak truthfully about the so-called “two-state solution.” China’s purported reconciliation of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority confirms the obvious: Israel has no “partner for peace,” only jihadists who will use whatever territory they control to wage war on the Israelis, and us. 

 

The Biden-Harris administration doesn’t want to hear these truths – or have the American people hear them, either. All the more reason why Benjamin Netanyahu must ensure they do.

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 one that underscores the progress Israel is making in destroying its enemies – and ours – in a struggle to the death between Judeo-Christian civilization and those determined to eliminate it. 

 

The Jewish State’s crushing retaliation Saturday for a Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv is the latest example. It contrasts starkly with our administration’s hapless response to that terrorist group’s piracy and successive missile strikes on U.S. warships.

 

Netanyahu will brave misbehavior by congressional critics and possibly violent protests by pro-terrorist groups in Washington. We must pray that he is better protected than was Donald Trump in Butler.

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 for the White House from his basement four years ago. His presidency was made possible, and been run by, Barack Obama and his lieutenants – who lied about that reality.

 

Team Obama picked Kamala Harris to be Biden’s vice president. They knew she, too, was unfit for the job – a reality that will, despite further lying, surely become ever more apparent in the days ahead. 

 

Those who have knowingly lied about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ inadequacies should be disqualified from public office – and selecting others who seek it.

Former President Donald Trump wrapped up the Republican convention last night by speaking at length and very movingly about his experience with the attempt to assassinate him. He rightly gave God full credit for the truly miraculous last-second adjustment of his head that spared his life. 

 

Lots of folks are assessing who deserves blame for the attack. Concerns about the objectivity and reliability of the lead investigator – a deeply politicized FBI – were heightened by its announcement right out of the gate that the shooter killed at the scene “acted alone.” 

 

But Rep. Mike Waltz announced after a preliminary briefing for Congress that the man had three encrypted overseas accounts. 

 

We currently have Chinese soldiers, Iranian assassination squads and countless jihadists here. The FBI’s assertion that none of them were involved in this attack is wildly premature – and potentially fatally myopic.

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 the terrorist regime in Gaza and toppling Netanyahu’s government, there is growing evidence that the jihadists are being systematically liquidated, cut off from their tunnels used for resupply and security and demoralized. 

 

Symbolically, the U.S. Army is pulling the plug on the insidious and costly “temporary port” that Samantha Power and other pro-Hamas Biden officials intended to save the terrorists. It’s past time to do the same with the rest of their anti-Israel policies, including the so-called “two state solution” just overwhelmingly, and rightly, rejected by the Israeli parliament.

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 purports to be President. His administration supports empowering WHO’s Maoist Director General, whose bad COVID-19 prescriptions helped kill a million Americans.

 

Second, the plan appears to be to subject the world this fall to yet another pandemic involving a strain of Bird Flu genetically modified to be transmissible to, and deadly for, human beings. Not to worry: there are three vaccines ready to be jabbed – and Team Biden has just given Moderna many millions to create an mRNA one. 

 

Who will stop the WHO and Friends from killing us again?

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 mobilization. A key piece of it is putting the population of China on a war-footing. And an important part of that initiative entails assuring its food security.

 

To that end, the CCP has amassed immense stockpiles of grains and other foodstuffs. Among other sources are farms and food production companies Chinese entities have, incredibly, been allowed to buy here. 

 

The GOP Convention needs to establish that the Chinese Communist Party is America’s mortal enemy. You can bet they know that at the Third Party Plenum.

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 bullets.”

 

The White House transcribed the word battle as “battol” and struck it through next to “ballot” in brackets. But the normal spelling seems more consistent with Biden’s declaration to donors last week that, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” 

 

Victor Davis Hanson has reminded us of sixteen other examples of celebrities espousing physical attacks on President Trump, including a popular play in New York’s Central Park.  

 

Such rhetoric must stop. But those who have indulged in it must be held accountable, as well.

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 engage in aggression with impunity, including here. Consequently, Joe must choose between voluntarily stepping aside or being compelled to do so. 

 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump must choose a running mate with the demonstrated competence to serve not only as president, but as the Commander-in-Chief under what could well be the most difficult imaginable conditions. 

 

Let us pray that American voters will be afforded the opportunity to cast ballots this fall in a free and fair election and have at least one ticket up to the task at hand.

Yesterday, amidst rising questions about President Joe Biden’s fitness to remain in office, House Democrats showed they’re unfit to govern. All but five of them opposed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, effectively endorsing the proposition that illegal aliens and other non-citizens should be able to vote in American elections.

 

In short, Team Biden’s open borders disenfranchises actual citizens. 

 

Enabling foreigners to register to vote without proof of citizenship is hardly the only technique Democrats are using to steal this fall’s elections. Others include: universal mail-in ballots – many of which will be mailed to ineligible addresses that amount to “ballot mills”; Internet-connected tabulating machines; lawfare; and Big Tech manipulations. 

 

But yesterday’s action on the SAVE Act makes one thing clear: If we want free, fair and legitimate elections, the American people are going to have to compel the Democrats to allow them.
