SPECIAL REPORT – The totalitarian Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not only engaged in global and national influence campaigns, but its corrupting tentacles also reach even down to American state and local politics. (RELATED: China’s Draconian Policies Show What Many Democrats Want for US) Over the past 15 years, U.S. officials at local, state and federal levels have received pressure through visits, emails and phone calls from Chinese officials intent on pushing their policies in China’s favor. As I have written about here, here and here, the CCP tends to focus its corrupting influences on currently powerful, as well as up-and-coming Democrat politicians, most…

ANALYSIS – While Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) focuses on far-right extremists and violent white supremacist threats, it has generally downplayed the growing threat from armed leftists and Black militants. (RELATED: Guess How Many Troops Out of 1.4 Million Were Charged With ‘Extremism’?) But the threat is there. And Team Biden is not only downplaying it, it has been enabling it by not enforcing laws against leftist groups while cracking down on conservative ones. Today at 1:50 a.m., an armed man in his mid-20s was arrested outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home in Montgomery County, Maryland. The man,…

Reminiscent of the never actualized 1980s U.S. plans for a more survivable mobile MX Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), known as the Peacekeeper, China may be developing similarly survivable nuclear missiles. Among a variety of ways considered to deploy the U.S. Peacekeeper missile, shuttling the missiles continuously on trucks or railcars among ‘multiple protective shelters,’ was the closest to this latest Chinese effort. (RELATED: Surprise! Team Biden Wants to Turn Global Anti-Russia Coalition Against Evil China) China’s latest plan appears to involve using the country’s 23,000 miles of high-speed rail track to speed nukes around the country at up to 220 mph in…

ANALYSIS – In a surprisingly thoughtful opinion-editorial piece for USA Today and following the Robb Elementary School massacre in his hometown, actor Matthew McConaughey — possibly hoping to burnish his political credentials for a future run for Texas governor — attempts to bridge the vast gun rights versus gun control chasm. In his op-ed, the Uvalde native argues that there is a big difference between gun control and gun responsibility. And he is spot on. Banning guns is not the answer. But also, ‘gun responsibility’ can be a way to protect our gun rights. However, as always, the problems arise when you…

President Joe Biden and his wife Jill were rushed by their Secret Service detail to a secure location at a local firehouse in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on Saturday when a private plane entered the secure airspace over their holiday home. Two military jets were also quickly scrambled to respond to the potential threat. It appears the plane flew over the Biden home by mistake, and there was “no threat to the president or his family,” but an investigation is still ongoing. While the Secret Service and military responded quickly and effectively, they now publicized their security protocols and a primary…

China intends to deploy new missile systems and a third aircraft carrier to exploit U.S. military weaknesses, a geopolitical analyst told The Daily Caller News Foundation. China may be able to successfully invade Taiwan because American forces are overextended and the U.S. Navy has become over-reliant on aircraft carriers, Brandon Weichert, a consultant for the U.S. Air Force, told TheDCNF. Washington may also be unable to stop Beijing from launching hypersonic missiles or building military bases outside the Indo-Pacific, Weichert said. “The American Navy I would argue is at its weakest or its smallest probably since the interwar years in terms…
