Secure Freedom MinuteTexas Should Ban Sharia - and so Should the Rest of AmericaIn less than two months, Texan Republican primary voters can help determine the future of our constitutional Republic by countering Islam’s toxic sharia ideology. Its adherents explicitly seek to replace our government with a global theocracy.
The ballot measure simply says “Texas should ban sharia law.” It’s been prompted by increasingly aggressive efforts by sharia-supremacists to demand accommodations that would translate into non-Muslims’ submission to their totalitarian code.
These include: the creation of what amount to Muslim-only communities; taxpayer subsidies for jihadist Islamic organizations; mosque tribunals administering anti-constitutional sharia restrictions; and measures that effectively...
2026-01-0900 minSecure Freedom MinutePOTUS is Rolling Up the CCPAn important webinar conducted by our Committee on the Present Danger: China yesterday revealed that President Trump is actually not pursuing the policy of so-called “restraint” towards the CCP – better characterized as “appeasement” – favored by some of his advisors.
Mr. Trump appears instead to be giving Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping a bit of his own medicine by engaging in cognitive warfare aimed at obscuring the actual “unrestricted warfare” the United States is now increasingly waging at Xi’s expense.
So, while the President continues to profess great respect for Emperor Xi, he’s actively working to undermine hi...

The 2.5 weeks of zero weight-bearing were tougher and longer than I thought they would be!

2026-01-0712 minSecure Freedom MinuteFinally, America is "Locked and Loaded" for the Iranian PeopleFor nearly fifty years, the Iranian people have suffered incalculably at the hands of a sharia-supremacist regime. The fact that the so-called “civilized world,” which the mullahs also assiduously threaten, has largely ignored that horror – and, worse yet, to varying degrees enabled it by doing deals with them – is damning in the extreme.
Amidst the latest, and hopefully final, popular demonstrations against the ayatollahs, President Trump today has publicly aligned the U.S. government with Iran’s people.
In a Truth Social post, he declared: “If Iran [shoots] and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom...

It is indisputably history’s greatest crime against humanity that some 380 million Christians around the world are being
heavily persecuted.
Events of the past few months offer hope that leaders of the civilized world are, at last, going to defend those persecuted simply for following Jesus Christ. Notably, President Trump warned jihadists in Nigeria, including its government, to stop such attacks or face U.S. military action – which he unleashed shortly before Christmas. Some Syrian jihadis butchering Christians and other minorities also faced American military retribution.

Whether it will prove to be a healthy, productive and prosperous one for Americans will depend in part on circumstances beyond our control, both domestically and externally.

2026-01-0100 minSecure Freedom MinuteHamas Must Be Disarmed, Only Israel Will Do ItAfter meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, President Trump warned the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian terrorist franchise Hamas that it must live up to its agreement to disarm. Then he added that, if that didn’t happen, there were numerous nations who would be willing to use force to “wipe Hamas out.”
Unfortunately, Hamas spokesmen have repeatedly insisted that the jihadists never committed to lay down their arms. And it’s unclear whether even a single country – other than Israel – is prepared to engage in the kind of costly combat required to disarm the terrorists, let alone elimin...
2025-12-3000 minSecure Freedom MinuteWork with the Trump Doctrine's Exemplar, Not Her Enemies - and OursWhen President Trump meets Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu today, their conversation should reflect a fundamental transformation over the past year. Israel has emerged from a status some have described as a U.S. “protectorate” to an exemplar – and regional pillar – of the Trump Doctrine.
It expects American allies to bear the principal burden of their own security, and – with U.S. material support – that of their neighborhoods, as well.
None does that more effectively than Israel.
She has laid low her enemies and ours and is greatly enhancing our mutual interests in the eastern Mediter...

Securing America with Frank Gaffney PodcastJudicial Pay-to-Play Should be Rejected in WisconsinToday, the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history concludes in Wisconsin. The prime reason is the expectation that, if the leftist candidate being supported by immense amounts of money from George Soros and other Democrat donors, Susan Crawford, prevails she will inject herself in deciding congressional redistricting. It would give the term “activist judge” a new meaning.
Crawford appealed to donors at a January event billed as “a chance to put two more House seats in play in 2026,” supporting electoral maps designed to make those Republican districts into ones favoring Democrats, possibly impacting control of the federa...
