ANALYSIS – President Joe Biden’s horribly staged, dark, anti-MAGA speech, bathed in blood red lighting, was poorly received not just by most Republicans but even by many in the establishment media. (RELATED: Marines at Biden’s Anti-MAGA Speech Politicize Military) Most broadcast TV refused to air the prime-time Biden speech in Philadelphia, deeming it more political than newsworthy. As the Daily Caller reports: The president gave the speech Thursday in front of Independence Hall, where he said “MAGA Republicans” pose a threat to democracy, have no respect for the rule of law, and “fan the flames of political violence.” He called on Democrats,…

ANALYSIS – For those who still think President Joe Biden’s virtually open border with Mexico isn’t a concern, now add the fact that thousands of Mexican passport holders trying to enter the United States may actually be Middle Easterners. Some of them on terror watch lists. This according to a memo by Biden’s own Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS has initiated a massive fraud investigation according to the memo, and DHS’ National Targeting Center has already identified 28,500 individuals since January for “further evaluation.” What’s worse, since last October, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has found 343 people whose names appeared…

As the threat of a Communist Chinese invasion of the independent democratic island nation of Taiwan grows daily, a new report identifies nearly 3,500 potential targets in Taiwan for Chinese strikes. These potential targets included 183 tied to Taiwan’s military, 341 related to transportation, 550 related to information and communications technology (ICT) and a full 2,397 linked to the government. The report, published this week, was conducted by senior research fellows with the George Mason University’s Mercatus Center. The researchers used an open-source database tied to alleged cybersecurity attacks by China against Taiwan. As Newsweek reports: It analyzes some 294,100 Taiwan-based points of interest…

ANALYSIS – As a lifelong conservative, patriot, Marine Corps officer who worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and as a D.C. Special Police Officer and decades-long private security contractor and military contractor — I have always ‘Backed the Blue.’ So, it pains me to ask this question. But America’s premier law enforcement agency has made too many mistakes, appeared far too politicized and the question needs to be asked. After the unprecedented raid on former President Trump’s home, can we trust the FBI? I will always back the vast majority of FBI field agents, some of whom I’ve worked with and…

The planned historic launch of the Artemis I test flight, the first step in taking humans back to the moon, has been delayed due to a technical fault with one of the engines. It had been due to take off on August 29. Former President Donald Trump signed his first presidential directive on space in December 2017, making it the official policy of the United States to return to the moon. The long-delayed and much-criticized NASA Artemis will be an unmanned mission to test the viability of the massive new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule for crewed…
