Checkmate Hezbollah, Liberate Lebanon
https://t.co/rjCe8o1Unc
Iran’s Foreign Legion, doing business in Lebanon as the designated terrorist group Hezbollah, has refused to join a ceasefire negotiated between the country’s putative government and Israel. That could amount to a strategic checkmate that leads at last to Lebanon’s liberation, provided that is, President Trump is not induced to intervene to save the jihadists absent such an error, Israel is now in a position to mop up what is left of Hezbollah’s infrastructure and personnel south of the Latani River.

It can also help Christians to its north secure their own areas and work with Druze, Sunnis, and even some Shiites elsewhere in Lebanon to root out their common enemy, the Iranian occupiers. Mr. President, ignore those urging you to rescue the Iranian Sharia supremacists. At a minimum, let Israel and Lebanese yearning to get their country back finish the job.

Securing America with Colonel Grant Newsham, Kenneth Abramowitz & Robert Spencer
https://t.co/88TT0i3A8q

Col. Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow, Japan Forum for Strategic Studies

I spoke with Col. Grant Newsham about the latest developments on the Korean Peninsula and what they mean for U.S. security and the security of our allies and vital interests in the Western Pacific—especially Northeast Asia. It’s a sobering assessment of an unreliable South Korean government, an increasingly dangerous North Korea, and all of it set against the Chinese Communist Party’s growing pressure on Taiwan and the region.

Kenneth Abramowitz, Co-Founder and Managing General Partner, NGN Capital

I spoke with Kenneth Abramowitz about the war in Lebanon, where the ceasefire has proved ineffective at stopping Hezbollah attacks on Israel, and Israel’s efforts to suppress that fire and establish a buffer zone so northern communities can return home safely. We also discussed the broader necessity of decisive victory over jihadist forces—whether in Lebanon, Iran, or elsewhere.

Robert Spencer, Director, Jihad Watch

I spoke with Robert Spencer about the nature of Sharia and its role as a political instrument of conquest, and why he argues it should not be treated simply as a religion under the First Amendment. We also discussed the role of mosques in jihadist activity, as well as what he describes as “electoral jihad,” including bloc voting by Sharia-supremacist-aligned Muslim electorates.

End Our Post-Tiananmen Betrayals of the Chinese - and American - Peoples
https://t.co/hRQfewXXsD
Thirty-seven years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party violently crushed freedom demonstrations in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and other cities across China. Grave insult was added to the murderous injury inflicted when the U.S. government made clear that such repression would not be allowed to interfere with business as usual between the two countries.

The message was personally conveyed to that epic crime’s perpetrators by President George H.W. Bush’s National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft – a longtime protégé of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who blazed the path for “engagement” with the CCP.

In practice, as author Peter Schweizer has devastatingly documented in his latest best-seller, Invisible Coup, Kissinger, Scowcroft, and former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson spawned the practice of profiting immensely by selling out our country to China at the expense of Americans’ economic wellbeing and national security.

That must end.

Sharia's Misogyny is No Credit to Muslim American Heritage
https://t.co/EOfG0swLaB
The Republican-controlled Florida House of Representatives designated February as Muslim American Heritage Month. Its adoption is credited to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim Brotherhood front designated last year by Governor Ron DeSantis as a terrorist organization.

The resolution even extolled the public service of three Democratic sharia-supremacists: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Representatives Ilan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. While there are Muslims who have contributed laudably to our country, these three aren’t among them.

A https://t.co/fRjoO9iXyW webinar today will examine a particularly odious Muslim “contribution” to America’s heritage: Sharia’s brutal repression of women. From dressing them in bags to mutilating their genitals to marrying them off as pre-pubescent girls to allowing their husbands to beat them, Muslim misogyny has brought here the worst of Mohammed’s behavior.

It must be prohibited, not extolled. https://t.co/fRjoO9iXyW

Securing America with Captain James Fanell & Sam Faddis
https://t.co/vALNHw9Dr9
Captain James Fanell, Former Naval Intelligence Officer

I had a fascinating, although utterly chilling, conversation with Captain James Fennell about the enemy within our nation that has been placed there by the Chinese Communist Party, or recruited here from among our captured elites, or smuggled in across our borders when Joe Biden eviscerated them or in other ways, put into a position to help take down our country, particularly in time of war. And that may be in the offing, if we’re not careful. All of which is to say this is required viewing. If you care about America, check it out.

Sam Faddis, Former CIA Officer

The discussion centers on concerns about the future risks of advanced artificial intelligence, particularly the concept of an “intelligence explosion,” where AI systems could begin improving themselves without human oversight and evolve at an extremely rapid pace. Sam Faddis argues that leading AI developers and experts have openly acknowledged the possibility that highly advanced AI could become uncontrollable and even pose an existential threat to humanity. The conversation also examines how competition with China is accelerating AI development, raising questions about whether the race for technological dominance could push society toward dangerous outcomes without adequate safeguards. Faddis warns that as AI becomes integrated into critical infrastructure and interconnected systems, a superintelligent AI could cause catastrophic global disruptions, turning what was once science fiction into a plausible future risk.

Hudnas Conduce to Defeat, Not Peace
https://t.co/DLvx3vxgR9
President Trump is doubling down on a bet that diplomacy with Iran will produce a deal that ends hostilities there. Yesterday, he vehemently insisted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forgo further attacks on Iran’s foreign legion, Hezbollah.

Mr. Trump appears to be heeding the advice of U.S. advisors like special envoy Tom Barrack and putative allies like Qatar and Turkey.

They previously persuaded him to engage with another sharia-supremacist regime in Syria at the expense of actual allies there among minority communities.

The result is instructive: Ongoing, murderous jihadist attacks and the prospect for outright genocide – not peace.

Diplomacy with sharia-supremacists only produces hudnas – temporary pauses that allow them to rearm, regroup and renew their jihads under more favorable circumstances.

Give peace its only chance, Mr. President: There is no substitute for decisive victory.

Securing America with Dr. A. J. Nolte
https://t.co/eOTSht7fb6
Dr. A. J. Nolte, Religion and International Relations Specialist

I had one of the most fascinating interviews of my life with Dr. A. J. Nolte about the truth concerning Sharia, the threat that it poses to our country, the extent to which it is mainstream in Islam, not some fringe excursion practiced by assorted jihadis And the necessity of helping, where possible, Muslims who want no part of Sharia any more than the rest of us do, to say so publicly, helpfully, without fear of being murdered for doing so, and otherwise defeating Muslim Brotherhood and similar Sharia supremacist operations inside America, not enabling them to persist in undermining our country and pursuing ultimately its destruction.

Just Say "No" to the Red-Green Axis
https://t.co/uIw9s2ZbtM
It may seem impossible that atheistic Communists could make common cause with theocratic sharia-supremacists. But, as the great Amy Mek’s RAIR Foundation has documented on X today, just such a “Red-Green alliance” is jointly mounting a concerted political warfare campaign in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Its immediate object is to lionize a Muslim woman recently reassigned from the position of principal of a 2000-student high school in that city pending an investigation into her problematic social media posts. Among other things, they dissemble about the threat posed by Islam’s strategy for war known as sharia.

The designated terrorist group called CAIR is seeking to use a Ft. Worth school board meeting this afternoon to force it to restore Shayma Alzubi to a leadership role in the city’s public education. Patriotic Americans are going to stand up against them. Learn more at https://t.co/fRjoO9iXyW.

3:00 p.m. CT, June 1, 2026 — ZBonz Dog Park, Fort Worth
https://t.co/3lNb0qxtZh

[Frank Gaffney @frankgaffney]

We conducted an exceptionally timely webinar https://t.co/kC1sKKN8Kq yesterday. It conclusively showed that sharia always has been and is now a strategy for conquest. Its adherents must pursue jihad via ANY means necessary to compel our submission. https://t.co/CMYh0uWFQ7.

Sharia is NOT a Religion of Peace
https://t.co/JQBcx2QARV
Yesterday, an incredibly timely webinar addressed perhaps the most important question of our time: “Is sharia a ‘religion of peace’ or a strategy for war?”

The answer impacts everything from whether there is any prospect for a “peace deal” with Iran to whether sharia-adherent Muslims can be expected to support and defend the U.S. Constitution to the advisability of building more Islamic centers here and importing more foreign imams.

The webinar established unmistakably that for fourteen hundred years, Islam’s “prophet” Mohammed, his successors and untold numbers of their followers have adhered to a political-military-legal program they call “the path,” or sharia in Arabic. And its express goal is to use violence and other forms of jihad to impose sharia worldwide.

Sharia is, in short, a strategy for war and the compulsory submission to it of non-adherent Muslims and everyone else.

Securing America with Rod D. Martin, Hooman Khalili & Stephanie Holderfield
https://t.co/dFlC4W4zEf
Rod D. Martin, Chairman of the Board, Institute for the American Future

Rod Martin and I discussed the actual state of affairs in China and Russia, and why both countries—despite their efforts to prop up the Iranian regime—may be in deep trouble themselves. Could this open the door to major changes in their behavior, or even in their governments? Check it out.
Hooman Khalili, Artist, Woman, Life, Freedom Mural Movement

I caught up with Hooman Khalili, an artist whose murals tell the story of the Iranian regime’s oppression—especially of women—and the urgency of standing with those striving for freedom. We discussed why their success would be a huge victory not only for Iranians, but for everyone who values liberty worldwide.

Stephanie Holderfield, Illinois At-Large Delegate, 2016 Republican National Convention

I spoke with Stephanie Holderfield about the “enemy within” threat posed by hostile ideologies that have filled a vacuum left by our neglect of America’s founding principles and history. We discussed how these movements are working to win over a new generation and, in the process, undermine our constitutional republic and the freedoms it guarantees—paving the way for a form of global governance that would crush both.

Securing America with Sam Faddis, Dede Laugesen & Wade Miller
https://t.co/CCq8zcRLfD
Sam Faddis, Former CIA Officer

I spoke with Sam Faddis about the theory that in World War G, which I believe is what we’re in, The Chinese emperor’s strategic arson is deliberate and effective in distracting us, tying us down, bleeding us out, and eliminating our kit, our military arsenal, so as to enable him at will to take one way the other Taiwan.

We also talked about the extent to which China is in that very mode arming Iran to kill Americans and has actually accomplished that, and what we need to be doing about all of this.

Dede Laugesen, CEO & President at Save the Persecuted Christians

I talked with Dede Laugesen about a coming attraction. A visit next week with Ambassador Sam Brownback about his new book, China’s War on Faith. We explored the role that China is playing in not only...

persecuting, but actually genocidally attacking people of faith, including Christians, as well as others. And the horrifying complicity of the Vatican in enabling it to do so.

We also discussed Ambassador Brownback’s recommendation, which is that we decouple from China in light of this particularly egregious, but only illustrative example of its murderous and menacing, its murderous agenda aimed at advancing its ambitions to rule the entire world.

Wade Miller, Executive Director of The Center Renewing America

Wade Miller and I visited about Sharia and the truth about the nature of that death cult and the threat that it poses to not just Muslims but to the rest of us as it pursues world domination through whatever means are necessary. is in short Sharia is in short not part of a religion of peace but a strategy for war.

We also talked about the state of the US military and the necessity to rearm, especially our Navy, by increasing substantially our defense industrial capabilities and doing so as a matter of the utmost national priority.

Take Down the Castros, Roll Up Their Support Network Here
https://t.co/doV9XYwoPd
The noose is tightening on Cuba’s Communist regime that has long brutalized its people and threatened ours. According to Fox News Digital, the Justice and Treasury Departments are investigating “145 U.S. non-profits and activist groups with $1 billion in collective revenues…as part of a wider influence campaign by Cuba’s communist regime and other foreign actors.”

Among those subpoenaed is Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, the wife of a China-based billionaire named Neville Roy Singham. He’s reportedly put $278 million into pro-Communist advocacy groups.

It’s bad enough that such supporters of our enemies are allowed to help them undermine our security. Insult is added to serious injury that, as tax-exempt organizations, their groups are effectively subsidized by the American people.

Time to put them out of business, along with the dangerous Cuban government they slavishly support.

Securing America with Rabbi Pesach Wolicki & Robert Charles
https://t.co/IFTRaGLwzq
Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, Executive Director of Israel 365 Action

I visited with Pesach Wolicki about the extent to which there is now a growing rift between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel. Whether or not so friendly nations are seeking to undermine our position as well as our alliance in support of both Iran and its ultimate patron, the Chinese Communist Party. And if so, whether there is any possibility of achieving an outcome in negotiations with these assorted enemies, other than more and indeed endless war.

We also talked about the fact that Islam is about governance and that, unlike other religions, it seeks through jihad to achieve world domination and compel everybody else to submit, if not actually convert to Sharia.

Robert Charles, https://t.co/mpPpJNw3hF

I spoke with Robert Charles, candidate for governor of the state of Maine, about the challenges facing his state, as well as the corrective actions he is committed to taking on everything from immigration to drug trafficking to the good government, reducing taxes, and not least opposing Sharia in Maine that have put him at the forefront of the Republican candidates as well as making him an odds-on favorite for the next governor of that great state.

A Humiliating MOU with the IRGC? Fuggedaboutit
https://t.co/ScUQNJ6FNw
Thank God the so-called “Memorandum of Understanding” with Iran remains incomplete. It’s in America’s vital interest that it never be finalized.

Here’s a clue: Even as negotiations continue with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps now doing business as the Iranian government, its vessels are laying more mines to control the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. forces were compelled to attack them in “self-defense.”

If that’s how the IRGC behaves before it makes a deal to open that waterway and promises further negotiations, there is no reason to expect it will behave better afterwards.

To the contrary, fourteen hundred years of “peace accords” with sharia-supremacists like Iran’s – and in particular this regime’s gambits – guarantees this deal will humiliate Donald Trump and America and that this “endless war” will continue on worse terms.

New Yorkers like Trump have one word for that prospect: Fuggedaboutit.
