TUESDAY PDB – Leaked documents a ‘very serious’ risk to national security, Pentagon says. The online leaks of scores of highly classified intelligence documents about the Ukraine war are a disaster. And they clearly came from within Biden’s defense department (DOD). According to NPR, they appear to be “briefing slides — put together daily for top Pentagon and national security officials — focused on Ukraine, with maps and charts pertaining to their troops and weapons.” AND AS EXPECTED – Team Biden doesn’t know extent of classified Pentagon document leak. The White House is scrambling to manage the fallout from the leaked classified materials. MEANWHILE, THE…

ANALYSIS – While this may not be the beginning of a trend, two persons with gender dysphoria, identifying as the opposite sex, have now committed or planned mass murder in the span of a week. And both had Christian churches and schools in their crosshairs. This certainly should spark concern. It will also make the left and its apologist media apoplectic. The mainstream liberal spin machine immediately swung into action, calling the bizarre and sudden rise of trans mass shooters a “baseless narrative.” AP News quickly set the tone when it published “FACT FOCUS: No ‘incredible rise’ in transgender shooters.” ABC News…
ANALYSIS – Communist China is ramping up its ‘gray zone’ warfare against Taiwan. Amid heightened tensions with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy hosting Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in California, China has launched a three-day patrol and inspection operation in the central and northern parts of the Taiwan Strait. This exercise reportedly will include boarding civilian ships. China’s Fujian maritime safety administration announced the provocative special operation on its WeChat account. This would be a severe escalation by Beijing, yet, as per ‘gray zone’ parameters, still – initially at least – fall short of an outright act of war. However, depending on Taiwan’s response,…
FRIDAY PDB – No surprises. The White House releases after-action reviews on Afghanistan withdrawal. The documented lessons learned from the Afghanistan withdrawal became publicly available for the first time on Thursday with the White House’s release of its after-action reviews. AND, OF COURSE, TEAM BIDEN BLAMES TRUMP FOR BIDEN’S DISASTER. McCaul calls Kirby’s comments on Afghanistan withdrawal ‘disgraceful and insulting.’ The GOP chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday blasted the White House for dismissing the idea that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was chaotic and shifting blame to Trump for creating unfavorable conditions for the pullout. Biden literally reversed Trump…
ANALYSIS – Federal and local law enforcement reportedly had at least 40 confidential informants or CIs (also known by federal agencies as Confidential Human Sources – CHSs), embedded with protestors and rioters at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. This, according to the attorney for one of the Jan. 6 defendants, Dominic Pezzola. A member of the nationalist Proud Boys group, Pezzola, is facing charges in federal court for allegedly conspiring to oppose the Jan. 2021 transfer of presidential power and related charges by interfering with Congress’ certification of the Electoral College vote.

THURSDAY PDB – Neo-Nazis, racists, white supremacists and other extremists do exist in America. And a subset of this crazy fringe is prone to violence – and must be stopped. But their threat is consistently overblown by both politicized federal law enforcement and the intelligence community. This is done in part to exaggerate the ‘extremism’ threat within the U.S. military and to somehow smear patriotic mainstream conservatives under the same banner. AND THE MEDIA AMPLIFIES THIS PROPAGANDA. The threat from extremist groups is growing. Service members and vets are getting sucked into the violence. The U.S. intelligence community deemed racially or ethnically motivated…
ANALYSIS – The bizarre transgender fad being pushed by the far-left on our nation’s children and globally isn’t very diverse. In America, it mostly affects a specific type of person. According to a recent survey by a pro-transgender support group, that type of person is primarily a young white teenager who is very smart but has a history of mental illness and/or emotional issues. (RELATED: 16-Year-Old Catholic Arrested After Saying There Are Only Two Genders) The survey could have added (but did not) that they are likely liberal, middle class and might drive a Prius. This, according to a survey…
WEDNESDAY PDB – Joe Biden’s weaponized Justice Department (DOJ) continues its outrageous partisan witch hunt by indicting a service member who simply walked into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Arresting active, reserve and former service members on trumped-up charges furthers the false narrative that the U.S. military has an ‘extremism’ problem. 5th active-duty service member arrested on Jan. 6 charges. Biden’s DOJ has arrested an active-duty Navy sailor on charges stemming from his ‘activity’ at the U.S. Capitol riot. HE PEACEFULLY WALKED INTO THE CAPITOL FOR THREE MINUTES! FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here’s a roundup of other developing stories. Not…
ANALYSIS – Short-term appearances, or sporadic transiting Freedom of Navigation Operations (FONOPS) by U.S. Navy ships, won’t keep China from dominating the Western Pacific, says one expert. To effectively combat Communist China’s encroaching semi-permanent military and naval presence there, we need an enduring presence ourselves – everywhere. But this is impossible with the less than 300 ships the U.S. Navy currently possesses. However, forward deploying more military forces at bases in Guam and elsewhere in the Western Pacific and increasing joint operations with regional allies such as Japan, Australia and the Philippines is one way to make up the shortage.

ANALYSIS – Communist China’s militarized Coast Guard just spent over 80 hours, more than three and a half days, circling the Japanese Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea on Sunday after refusing orders to leave. This latest incursion is part of China’s ever-increasing low-intensity ‘gray zone warfare’ against its neighbors and a major part of its quest to steadily dominate the East and South China Seas. China claims the uninhabited Japanese-controlled islands near Taiwan, which Beijing calls Diaoyu, as part of Taiwan, which China claims in its entirety. Taiwan also independently claims the islands. However, Taipei and Tokyo signed a resource-sharing agreement in…
