ANALYSIS – The collusion between the far-left, the Democrat Party and Big Tech is one of the most dangerous threats to American democracy today. It threatens our First Amendment right to free speech and our ability to get valuable and dissenting views and news online. It also threatens to erase and rewrite history akin to the vile practices of totalitarian communist leaders Joe Stalin or Mao Zedong. This obscene censorship is also opposed by most Americans. According to a piece published Thursday by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), suppressing so-called “misinformation” and “disinformation” online (code words for conservative views they don’t like) about topics…

ANALYSIS – In just a few years since 2015, China’s new ‘leader for life,’ Xi Jinping, has made the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) a ‘world-class fighting force’ that can challenge the U.S. Its navy is now the largest in the world with a record number of new, high-tech combat ships. And it is rapidly expanding its strategic nuclear capability to soon match the U.S. and Russia.

In an egregious breach of national security, up to 30 former British Royal Air Force fighter pilots, as well as other branches, and ex-military pilots from Canada and Australia, have been lured to China to train the Communist Chinese (Chicoms) how to shoot down U.S. and allied pilots. The price to betray your country and aid the enemy? Well, apparently it is £250,000 (pounds) a year, or $280,000. The recruitment program by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) reportedly began in 2019, dipped during the pandemic, then ramped up once COVID restrictions were lifted in China. According to the Daily Mail: The shocking recruitment…

ANALYSIS – The polls are showing a national GOP rally which again points to a potential ‘Red Tsunami’ in November. This means that the GOP will almost certainly be retaking control of the House, and may even narrowly win back the Senate, effectively making Joe Biden even more of a ‘lame duck’ than he already is. But as encouraging and critical as this is, what is frightening Democrats, the most may be the governor’s race in Arizona. And they should be afraid. Very afraid. There, ‘ultra MAGA’ Kari Lake is neck-and-neck in the polls for governor against Democrat Katie Hobbs. Many experts have concluded…
ANALYSIS – As the Marine Corps rushes to transform itself into an uber-effective, Pacific island-hopping, missile-launching, fighting force to face the looming China threat, some retired and former Marines are asking if the Corps is sacrificing its unique identity as America’s premier global 911 response force. As a proud Marine officer, I’m especially interested in this question and am hoping the answer is a resounding ‘no.’ However, the unprecedented debate being provoked by Marine Commandant General David Berger’s vision and leadership of the 21st century Marine Corps is making it tougher to answer so emphatically. And the latest National Defense Strategy, belatedly…

According to information released to the January 6 Committee, a “sizable percentage” of FBI agents and other support personnel are “sympathetic” toward the Capitol rioters. The newly released information comes from an email sent to Paul Abbate, now the No. 2 official at the Bureau. It was publicly released through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The unknown sender was trying to send a warning about conservative political leanings inside the Bureau but clearly had his own liberal political bias as can be inferred by some of his comments condoning violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters I note below. While his observations…
As the dangerous alliance of rogue states China, Russia and Iran grows, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) troops are reportedly ramping up their support for Putin’s invasion by now serving actively in Ukraine. This, despite official denials from both Russia and Iran. The 50 or so IRGC specialists have supposedly been deployed to train Moscow’s forces to operate deadly Iranian-supplied Shahed-136 loitering munitions or ‘kamikaze drones.’ (RELATED: Classified Report: Putin Undergoing Treatment for Advanced Cancer) However, reports the Daily Mirror, in some cases, they are suspected of having directly controlled the drones in their attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets. The 11ft-long Shahed-136 drones can…
