ANALYSIS – In December 2020 I wrote about how 50 former U.S. intelligence officers became part of a Democrat election disinformation campaign to hurt Donald Trump and aid Joe Biden by claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was part of a nefarious Russian spy plot. I noted this was coordinated election interference by high-ranking former intelligence officials. And their effort succeeded – proving, as I said – that: “Democrat disinformation is far more dangerous than Russian.” But few followed this lead for over a year. Until now.

In an apparent attempt to take advantage of the world’s preoccupation with Russia’s war on Ukraine, China is steadily building up its naval presence and capabilities across the Pacific. And this build-up is significant. It is also provoking tensions. Earlier this month, a Chinese J-20 stealth fighter had a close encounter with an American F-35 fighter over the East China Sea. Experts believe China is aggressively moving to fill a void in Asia created by the war in Ukraine. Beijing similarly flexed its muscles in both the East China Sea and the South China Sea in 2020 while the world…

Opinion – I’m a fan of Will Smith. I’ve enjoyed his acting since his early days as the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” He is generally a cool, even-keeled dude. But what he did at the Oscars, no matter how he felt, or how ignorant and insensitive the provocation, is simply outrageous and unacceptable. It’s criminal assault. On national TV. At the Oscars. Over a bad joke. Let me repeat that. It’s criminal assault. On national TV. At the Oscars. Over a bad joke. https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1508278879445729281?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1508278879445729281%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Famericandefensenews.com%2F2022%2F03%2F29%2Fwill-smiths-assault-of-chris-rock-at-oscars-was-outrageous-and-his-apologists-are-wrong%2F And while some dismiss it as a stupid Hollywood thing, that nobody cares about, it matters because…

While in Poland this weekend, President Joe Biden made several significant and very public verbal gaffes, all of which required the White House to issue corrections or denials, yet when pressed by a Fox News reporter, Biden denied they ever occurred. Among these reckless comments, Biden appeared to tell American soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division in Poland that they were going to Ukraine. “You’re going to see when you’re there… you’re going to see women, young people, standing in the middle, in front of a damn tank,” he said. The White House then denied this was the case. Then, Biden appeared to say the U.S. and NATO were…

After delivering a speech to the European Union (EU), leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn’t get the response he expected, as numerous Members of European Parliament (MEPs) – from both old and new Europe – bashed him over his tyrannical repression of the peaceful ‘Freedom Convoy’ protesters in February. (RELATED: Poll Shows How Democrats Really Feel About Trudeau’s Trucker Crackdown) As Fox News reported, Trudeau has also faced backlash at home for how he responded to the Freedom Convoy, as “Video circulated widely on social media in February of police decked out in riot gear cracking down on convoy…

ANALYSIS – Gen. David H. Berger, the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps has been creating waves since he began a radical transformation of the Marines more than two years ago. And now those waves are becoming a tsunami as retired generals are openly challenging some of the commandant’s biggest changes, as well as the way in which they are being implemented. In a critical op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, Jim Webb, a former Marine officer, Navy secretary and a U.S. senator from Virginia noted that: …it is unclear to just about everyone with experience in military planning what formal review and coordination was…
