While Russia gets most of the attention for its disinformation and cyber hacking efforts against the U.S., Communist China has its own growing effort. And it is a far bigger long-term threat. First, let’s say the communist Chinese (Chicoms), and their intelligence service and affiliated groups, have likely hacked the U.S. across the board more than any other country or entity on Earth. (RELATED: How Communist China’s Tentacles Reach Into US State Politics – And How to Fight Back) They have a vacuum cleaner approach to spying, sucking up everything in sight, including what appears to be trivial and innocuous…

ANALYSIS – While this may sound like an over-the-top question, Communist China is studying just that scenario. As leader-for-life Xi Jinping consolidates his totalitarian power over China and accelerates his ambition to dominate globally, America’s satellite system — and more specifically, Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite constellation — has become a primary target for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). (RELATED: Senate Democrats Contemplate Bringing Elon Musk to Washington) The PLA understands that the U.S. military is highly dependent on its space-based communications, tracking and targeting capabilities. In fact, our satellites are a major component of our global dominance. But new systems,…
ANALYSIS – Following the first-ever leak of a pending Supreme Court decision, left-wing abortion extremists have threatened the lives of the conservative justices. First by calling for violence and posting their personal details online, then by having daily aggressive protests at their homes. The threats even extended to their families and children. There was also a specific assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in June when an armed man, Nicholas John Roske, 26, traveled across the country to Justice Kavanaugh’s home to kill him. In that case, the U.S. Marshals discovered Roske had a “black tactical chest rig and tactical knife,” a pistol with…

ANALYSIS – While Joe Biden and the Democrats haven’t been able to pass the draconian gun control legislation they want, they still abuse existing laws and regulations to push their radical anti-Second Amendment agenda. As I wrote earlier, the bipartisan gun safety measures passed by Congress, and touted by Biden, were far from being severe gun control. (RELATED: Watch Submachine Gun-Equipped Robot Dog Ripping It Up at Shooting Range) In fact, they were mostly reasonable, common-sense solutions that stayed within the bounds of the Constitution. And the left knows it and has kept pushing Biden to do more. That’s why…
ANALYSIS – Russian leader Vladimir Putin is a master at disinformation and manipulation. Since well before its invasion of Ukraine in February, Russia has been trying to sow confusion by accusing Kyiv of planned “provocations,” unsubstantiated claims that could then provide cover for Russian ‘false flag’ operations. The most recent example is Russia’s claim that Ukraine plans a radioactive ‘dirty bomb’ attack on its own territory. (RELATED: Putin Pushing Russian Elite to Decisive Moment) A ‘dirty bomb,’ or ‘poor man’s nuke,’ contains radioactive material, such as uranium, which is scattered through the air when detonated by conventional explosives. It doesn’t need highly…
ANALYSIS – After downgrading U.S. counterintelligence efforts against Chinese espionage strengthened by former President Trump, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) suddenly pretends to care about Chinese spying. In a ‘breaking news’ press conference yesterday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Justice Department has charged 13 people for trying to “unlawfully exert influence in the United States” on behalf of the People’s Republic of China. As NBC News reported on the three different cases Garland noted: One case charges seven Chinese nationals with trying to forcefully repatriate a Chinese national. Four others were charged with targeting people in the U.S. to act on…
OPINION – Ever since the Supreme Court leak ahead of its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Republicans have been cowed by the leftist media into hiding their pro-life policies. This is a huge mistake. While the media and radical Democrat partisans hyped the decision’s impact and quickly weaponized the decision, much of the GOP hid, hoping the abortion issue would just go away. And to some degree, it has faded as Americans are clearly more concerned about the economy, inflation, crime and illegal immigration. But acting as if we have something to be afraid of only gives the radical…
