It's appropriate that weather more typical of Greenland will be assaulting much of the continental United States as the nation is called to address a new front in Communist China's unrestricted warfare against us – namely, the Arctic north.  Xi Jinping's regime has absurdly, but ominously, asserted that China is a “near-Arctic nation.” It has been: sending nuclear submarines to execise under the polar icecap; using its large and growing fleet of icebreakers to facilitate PRC shipping via the so-called “Polar Silk Road”; and evincing growing interest in exploiting the region's abundant natural resources.  And the Chinese Communist regime has just secured a “strategic partnership” with Canada that may result in the presence of People's Liberation Army forces in North America.  A very timely webinar today will explore the absolute necessity of securing Greenland and our northern front.

It's “Liberation Day” 2.0. President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization becomes final today, ending the direct threat to American sovereignty posed by the WHO's insidious efforts to advance world government.  Mr. Trump recognized the danger posed by the largely opaque use of international agreements and diplomatic shenanigans behind closed doors to give unprecedented powers over our public health to the WHO Director General, an Ethiopian Communist controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. We want no part of a reprise of Tedros Ghebreyesus' murderous malfeasance during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The U.S. can and should continue to lead the world in countering pandemics. The place to start is by recognizing their single most dangerous source: namely, the CCP's illegal biological weapons program which, with Tony Fauci's criminal help, unleashed on us and others the COVID biowarfare attack.  This is Frank Gaffney.

While much of the world's elites focus on a fractious debate in Davos over the future status of Greenland and the prospects for the NATO alliance, tectonic shifts are taking place in the Middle East that require urgent attention.  During weeks of massive protests across Iran, President Trump warned that nation's jihadist regime not to use violence to suppress them, encouraged the unrest to continue and declared it was time for the supreme leader to go. The ayatollahs savagely crushed the uprising with impunity.  And vicious retribution reportedly continues unchecked.  The magnitude of the danger posed by leaving the perpetrators of such crimes unpunished and in power is hard to overstate. They will assuredly be emboldened not only to bring more death to the people of Iran. They will relentlessly seek to bring death to Israel and death to America, as well.    This is Frank Gaffney.

Joanne Fleming is an extraordinary freedom-fighter in Texas who runs “Grassroots America We the People.” On Steve Bannon's “War Room Texas” program last night, she revealed a stunning fact.  According to Ms. Fleming, during interviews of candidates seeking her group's influential endorsement, when asked what prospective constituents say is most concerning them, the threat posed by shariah's adherents is now consistently mentioned.  This is particularly noteworthy because voters in the Texas Republican primary on March 3rd will have an opportunity to approve Proposition 10, which simply says “Texas should prohibit sharia law.”  A new poll by Rasmussen Reports indicates that its not just Texans, but a sizeable majority of U.S. voters – seventy-seven percent – who are concerned about “the influence of radical Islam in America.” Learn more about the threat Texas – and the rest of America –face from sharia-supremacism at BanSharia.com This is Frank Gaffney.

Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream of freedom. The world's sharia-supremacists have one, too. Theirs  is about submission – specifically, the non-Muslim world's enslavement pursuant to the toxic, demonic and anti-constitutional Islamic ideology known as sharia. The United States is a prime target for sharia-adherents' penetration, subversion and conquest since that would inevitably ensure the end of Judeo-Christian civilization – and with it, any hope of fully realizing and perpetuating Dr. King's visionary aspiration.  Texas is the frontline of this battle between good and evil. On March 3rd, many Texans will vote on Republican primary ballot Proposition 10. It simply says, “Texas should prohibit sharia law.” The stakes could hardly be higher. After all, as Texas goes, so goes the Nation. And it is no exaggeration that as this nation goes, so goes Dr. King's quest for freedom worldwide. This is Frank Gaffney.

The Chinese Communist Party makes no secret of its determination to destroy the United States of America. So how can we allow the CCP to own land across the country often within striking distance, literally, of sensitive U.S. military and other installations? For example, a longtime official of the CCP's subversive United Front Work Department owns two golf courses enveloping a critically important U.S. military installation: Louisiana's Barksdale Air Force Base. That's the home of Global Strike Command responsible for two of the three “legs” of our nuclear “Triad.” What could possibly go wrong? It's malfeasant to let our mortal enemy have the option of waging immensely destructive warfare against us from inside the United States. China's assets like the Barksdale-adjacent golf courses should be seized immediately and Chinese nationals – especially any PLA soldiers in America – should be repatriated forthwith. This is Frank Gaffney.

The fate of Iran's despotic regime appears to be hanging in the balance. The country's population – after almost five decades of repression, privation and sharia-indoctrination – are in the streets, risking life and limb to demand the mullahs' overthrow. Thousands have been shot dead where they were demonstrating; others who were wounded, were subsequently executed. To his credit, President Trump has repeatedly expressed solidarity with those seeking freedom, encouraging them to keep protesting and promising help to those subjected to murderous attacks by Iranian and imported jihadists. On Wednesday, however, the President declared that such attacks had reportedly been suspended. While he expressed some uncertainty about the accuracy of such claims, the implication was that the promise of U.S. military action on behalf of the protesters would be suspended, as well. America must help the Iranian people prevail – not abandon them, yet again. This is Frank Gaffney.

Yesterday, the U.S. government formally designated three foreign “chapters” of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described them “the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood chapters' violence and destabilization wherever it occurs."  For the moment, though, other chapters and the Brotherhood's “mother movement,” remain free to pursue their stated goal of waging a “grand jihad to destroy Western civilization from within.”  Unfortunately, every jihadist on the planet, and every one of their – and their allies' – still-undesignated “support networks,” will perceive that status as proof they will succeed.  And, according to Islam's toxic sharia doctrine, when jihadists sense weakness in their enemies, they must redouble efforts to make them “feel subdued.” That's a formula for much more, and terrifying, violence in America. We must ban the Brotherhood now.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Millions of Iranians are publicly demanding the end of the sharia-supremacist regime that has brutalized them and threatened us for nearly fifty years. The mullahs are increasingly responding with murderous violence. President Trump has lately broken with past U.S. practice by explicitly supporting those in the streets. He's threatened to use force to that end. He's announced that new tariffs will be imposed on Iran's trading partners. And American military assets are on the move in the region, creating new options for action against the ayatollahs. Iran's government is trying a gambit that has worked in the past – buying time through negotiations over its covert nuclear weapons program. At the moment, preparations for a bilateral meeting are reportedly underway. There should be no more reprieves for the tyrants. We must help liberate the Iranian people, not preserve their enemies in Tehran, and ours. This is Frank Gaffney.

On Friday night, Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, Steve Bannon and Glenn Beck addressed a “Save Texas” event near Dallas sponsored by Patriot Mobile. It just may prove to be a turning point in U.S. history. Mr. Wilders warned that adherents to Islam's totalitarian sharia code are extinguishing freedom's “lights” – and America risks the same fate. Mr. Bannon launched a campaign to fight back with a vote in the Texan Republican primary on March 3rd proclaiming “Texas should ban sharia law.”  And Mr. Beck reminded us that this nation has defeated other, “existential threats to freedom” and that we must rise to that posed by sharia-supremacists in our time. Learn why every liberty-loving Texan and other American must do just that in the run-up to March 3rd and then election day this fall when banning sharia must be a voting issue. Visit BanSharia.com. This is Frank Gaffney.

In 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 oblige everyone to consume “halal” foods consecrated to the Muslim god, Allah. Texas should indeed ban sharia, and a resounding vote to do so there will encourage the rest of America to do the same.   This is Frank Gaffney.

An 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 him across a broad front including by: supporting the people of Iran, not China's vassal regime there; taking out the CCP's Venezuelan puppet, Nicholas Maduro; and challenging Chinese ambitions to dominate the rest of the world. Let's roll! Learn more at presentdangerchina.org.  This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump is serious about threats to this country emanating from actual or prospective penetrations of our hemisphere by hostile forces. Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela was animated in part by Nicholas Maduro's close ties with Communist China, Cuba, Iran and Russia. The President understands that vast, strategically located, resource-rich and nearly unpopulated Greenland is in such enemies' crosshairs, too. So much so, that he's intent on buying it. Understandably, if all else fails, he would not rule out the use of our military to keep the immense island from being weaponized against us – something we did in World War II.  Denmark and other European nations that have proven indifferent to the ongoing invasions of their countries by sharia-supremacists are denouncing our President's resolve. But NATO also requires Greenland to be in safe hands and cannot otherwise assure it will be. This is Frank Gaffney.

For five years, we've been relentlessly told that, on this day in 2021, a mob determined to overthrow the government of the United States attacked the U.S. Capitol at the direction of President Donald Trump.  There is considerable circumstantial evidence supporting an alternative explanation of what actually happened that January 6th. President Trump didn't incite violence; he was blocked from having National Guard units deployed to prevent any; Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually reduced Capitol security that day; the police opened some of the buildings' doors and waved people in; provocateurs were in the crowd, some of whom may have been among the large numbers of FBI undercover operatives and informants in the crowd. Whether what happened five years ago was Democrat “direct action” aimed at undermining President Trump and his base remains to be seen. But that indisputably was the practical effect.     This is Frank Gaffney.

With the extraordinary feat of U.S. military arms that seized and extracted Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro on Saturday, President Trump has reestablished the priority of hemispheric security among America's vital interests.  In so doing, he served notice on this country's enemies in the Americas and those like China, Russia and Iran that have been allowed for far too long to operate here with impunity: Freedom-loving nations and peoples in the region will have a powerful friend in the United States and their foes a determined and engaged adversary. To be clear, the United States did not seek to change Venezuela's regime. Until that happens, the Communists, cartel and foreign powers that have tyrannically misruled there will remain a metastasizing threat to the native population and to ours. But an opportunity to secure both has been created – and must now be actualized.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Onwards Christian - and Jewish - Soldiers! 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.  And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently declared that, “We are joining an effort to have basically a united nations of countries that support Christian communities around the world. This is…a main part of our agenda and it's going to continue with greater force and greater might in this coming year.” Onwards Christian – and Jewish – soldiers! This is Frank Gaffney.

For 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, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” President Trump seeks a legacy of peacemaking. His greatest contribution to a true and enduring peace in the Middle East will lie with helping Iranians liberate their country.  This is Frank Gaffney.

“Happy New Year” is a wish, but not by any means a prediction. 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.  Here are a few ways in which we can improve the prospects for the twelve months ahead:  Get right with God. With His Grace, all things are possible. Prize this amazing country as we celebrate its first two-hundred-and-fifty years. We must devote ourselves to protecting and practicing our constitutional freedoms so that they can be enjoyed as well by future generations. Recognize that there are those, both here at home and globally, whose aspirations for this year conflict with ours. Their hostile ideologies drive quests for power, control and dominance over us that must be deterred and, where necessary, resisted.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Frank Gaffney discusses the significant threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood to the United States and Western civilization. He highlights banthebrotherhood.org as a crucial resource for understanding the group's origins and objectives. Gaffney underscores recent political actions in Texas and Florida to designate the Brotherhood and CAIR as terrorist entities, emphasizing the urgent need for public awareness and political action against their influence.    If you are not following Frank, you should be!

After 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 eliminate their organization. The likely sources for claims to the contrary are two unreliable so-called U.S. “allies”: Hamas' enablers, Qatar and Turkey. If Hamas is actually to be “wiped out” – as it must be – only Israel has the will and the capability to accomplish it. Make it so. This is Frank Gaffney.

When 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 Mediterranean and Red Sea. Let's pray that the partnership thus forged between Messrs. Trump and Netanyahu will be further strengthened today and that, pursuant to the Trump Doctrine, this powerful bilateral alliance – not misbegotten deals with actual foes – will be the centerpiece of U.S. Mideast policy going forward. This is Frank Gaffney.

In recent days, President Trump has unleashed American military power against jihadists in Syria and Nigeria. Such actions are clearly necessary in light of their intensifying attacks in both countries and demonstrate his commitment that “our country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.” Fulfilling that warranted pledge, however, will require more than symptomatic treatment, important as it is. Prior to his first election to the presidency, Mr. Trump recognized and decried the ideology that animates such jihadism.  And on December 20th, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard underscored the point, declaring that “the greatest near- and long-term threat to both our freedom and our security is…Islamist ideology.”  Fortunately, the President can help counter this toxic ideology systemically by banning the organization that is its preeminent champion and enabler: the Muslim Brotherhood.  Urge him to do so at BantheBrotherhood.org.  This is Frank Gaffney.

On this holy day, Christians everywhere are celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, a Jewish baby named Jesus, and the civilization those two faiths have bequeathed to the world. As we pray for peace in the year ahead, we must seek God's grace in countering those who threaten that peace.  For example, in countries like Nigeria, Syria, Communist China, Iran and North Korea, Christians are being subjected to brutal persecution.  And in each, the persecutors and their respective regimes seek to replace our Western civilization with one kind of totalitarian global order or another. If we are to continue to enjoy, among others, the freedom of religion guaranteed by our nation's Christian founders strongly influenced by the Judaic traditions Jesus honored, we must pray for His help in protecting America and Western civilization from those determined to destroy them.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Today, President Trump is supposed to receive recommendations of the Secretaries of State and the Treasury concerning arguably his second presidency's most consequential national security decision to date.  At stake is whether the United States joins other allied nations in banning the Muslim Brotherhood. Or alternatively, pretends that the organization is not leading a global Islamic movement to destroy our constitutional Republic and Western civilization.  Dozens of leading American freedom-fighters just appealed to Mr. Trump to ban the Brotherhood, meaning the parent organization as well as all of its chapters and subdivisions, including the U.S. ones and their extensive infrastructure in this country. By so doing, the President can clearly demonstrate that America will resist, not submit to, the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies' bid to transform ours from the land of the free to the home of the enslaved. This is Frank Gaffney.

The threat the Chinese Communist Party poses not just to us, but the whole world is truly catastrophic. For example, China expert Gordon Chang recently illuminated the CCP's global predations via immense, and often illegal, fishing operations. Notably, he reports Communist China has fifty-setven thousand industrial fishing vessels that have over two recent years fished in the waters of more than ninety countries for more than twenty-two million hours. Mr. Chang concludes that “thanks to Chinese illegal fishing and other factors, the seas have been stripped bare,” citing an expert as estimating that ninety-three percent of the world's major fish stocks are either fully exploited, overexploited, or significantly depleted. Such “locusts” of the seas imperil billions worldwide, as does the Chinese Communist Party that weaponizes them.  This is Frank Gaffney.

On December 20th, President Trump's Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued a powerful warning to the AmFest audience. She declared that Islam's sharia-supremacist ideology, which she called “Islamism,” is “the greatest near and long-term threat to our freedom and security.” Director Gabbard's warning could hardly be more timely as the President will imminently act on recommendations by the Secretaries of State and Treasury about whether, and to what extent, he should ban the world's preeminent champion of that toxic ideology – namely, the Muslim Brotherhood.  The Brotherhood's most important enablers, Qatar and Turkey, clearly oppose any such sanctions. But the evidence that it is a foreign terrorist organization and its toxic “political ideology” seeks our nation's destruction cannot be ignored, let alone given a pass.  Take action now by calling on President Trump to ban the Brotherhood at BantheBrotherhood.org.  This is Frank Gaffney.

2026 will be a challenging year. The United States will be preoccupied with potentially game-changing mid-term elections. Western European nations seem likely to slide further into what Team Trump calls illegal immigrant-induced “civilization erasure.”  Then, there's Russia's intensifying bloodletting in Ukraine and  Western civilization's unfinished wars with jihadists in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.  The question to which we must give earnest, focused and sustained attention is: Will China's dictator, Xi Jinping, perceive such distractions – at least some of which he relentlessly fosters – as an irresistible opportunity to transition from the pre-kinetic warfare his Chinese Communist Party has long waged against us to a shooting war? An important webinar today will explore that prospect – and what we must be doing now to prepare for, and hopefully deter, it. You have a need-to-know. Join us at PresentDangerChina.org at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.  This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump will soon make what may be the most important national security decision of his second presidency. And scarcely anyone even knows it's impending, let alone how fraught the wrong choice would be.  Given the incredibly high stakes for our people and constitutional Republic, the lack of the necessary public awareness and national debate about this decision is completely unacceptable. By Christmas Eve, Mr. Trump is supposed to get a report from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about how to handle the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Our Victory Coalition report describes the President's “choice” as either ban the Brotherhood or face “civilization erasure” here.  You have a need to know the right answer – and why. So does President Trump. Learn why he must ban the Brotherhood and encourage him to do so at BantheBrotherhood.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

During a White House Hannukah celebration yesterday, President Trump declared that, “All nations will stand together against the evil forces of radical Islamic terrorism” and observed that the perpetrators of a weekend massacre of Jews at a Hannukah party in Australia were “driven by Islamic state ideology.” As it happens, Mr. Trump has a looming opportunity to act on those statements. By Christmas Eve, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are supposed to provide a report on the Muslim Brotherhood, the international organization that champions the ideology known as sharia that animates the Islamic State and other jihadists. Mr. Trump will either ban the Brotherhood or encourage sharia's adherents to believe they and their ideology will get away with achieving not just more terrorist attacks, but “civilization erasure,” here as well as abroad.  Take action at BantheBrotherhood.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed respond to the terrorist attack on the Hanukkah candle lighting at Bondi Beach in Sydney and the broader surge of antisemitic and ant- Christian violence across the West.  They then continue their conversation about Doug's recent trip to Israel and what it was like to experience the land, the war, and the global faith coalition up close.  In the second half, they are joined by Frank Gaffney for a direct, practical discussion of the Trump administration's executive order related to the Muslim Brotherhood, what it does and does not do, and what ordinary citizens can do right now if they want Western leaders to take jihadist ideology seriously.

'Tis the season for celebrating traditions of the great Abrahamic faiths. Christmas markets and Hannukah parties. Increasingly, however, adherents to sharia – which is actually not a religion, let alone one the Bible's Abraham would embrace – are emulating Mohammed's jihad against Christians and Jews. It's a reasonable bet that those jihadis are inspired – if not actually enabled – by the Muslim Brotherhood or its myriad allies, front groups, “chapters” and “subdivisions.” So are others pursuing in pre-violent ways what President Trump calls “civilization erasure.” Consequently, President Trump has to decide if he'll do nationally what Texas and Florida's governors have done in their states, namely, ban the Brotherhood. He's asked his Secretaries of State and Treasury to advise him. Today, our Victory Coalition is, too, with a report called, “The Choice: ‘Ban the Brotherhood' or Face ‘Civilization Erasure' Here.”  Read it at for free at BantheBrotherhood.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

Missing from official comments and press reporting about the murder this weekend of three Americans in Syria and sixteen Jewish Australians on a Sydney beach is the word “jihad.” That failure is deliberate – a symptom of, and a contributor to, a metastasizing danger. Fifteen years ago, our group called “Team B II” published a book entitled, Sharia: The Threat to America. It challenged the policy that prevailed then – and continues to operate today, namely, ignoring acts of violence clearly animated by that totalitarian Islamic doctrine, depicting them instead as random incidents of “terrorism” or “extremism.” Today, sharia-supremacists tied to or inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood are poised to engage in much more jihadist violence, both elsewhere and here, and on a far greater scale.  Warnings like Team B's must no longer be ignored. Join us in saying so at BantheBrotherhood.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

Too many Americans remain unaware of the threat posed to this country, its Constitution and freedoms by what President Trump has called “the ideology of Radical Islam.” The Muslim Brotherhood is the prime-mover behind translating that ideology known as sharia into action worldwide – meaning, jihad and conquest. Doctrinally, when sharia's enemies exhibit weakness and submission, its adherents must redouble their efforts to finish achieving Islam's triumph worldwide, violently if possible. For example, when Brotherhood-inspired sharia-supremacists now waging jihad as members of the Syrian army chant in the presence of their former commander and un-sanctioned president “Death to the Jews” and there is no cost, expect worse to come. Ditto if the Brothers' sponsors in Qatar and Turkey get away with subverting Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza by rescuing Hamas.  Join us in urging President Trump to push back at BantheBrotherhood.org.  This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump's new National Security Strategy has offended Europeans with its warning that they face “the prospect of civilizational erasure.” While several reasons for that dire prognosis are offered, the key one appears to be “migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife.” Unsaid, but clearly a factor in erasing Western civilization in Europe is the rising aggressiveness of Islamic immigrants increasingly under the influence of, and weaponized by, the Muslim Brotherhood and other sharia-supremacists financed by Qatar and enabled by Turkey.  Unfortunately, similar forces are working to erase civilization in this country, as well. The Trump administration is expected shortly to decide whether to join Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida in effectively banning the Muslim Brotherhood.  Join us in encouraging President Trump to protect our constitutional Republic and defend Western civilization at BantheBrotherhood.org.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Artificial intelligence and its seemingly limitless financial prospects are raising concerns that it may be a bubble about to burst. What should be even more worrying, however, is what's coming out of the pell-mell race to create ever more powerful AI technology justified by the imperative of staying ahead of China's counterpart efforts.  I call what's in prospect “FrankenAI” because, among others, even some of those involved in developing advanced artificial intelligence are warning that we'll soon lose control of such creations and they'll destroy the human race.   If running such risks is impelled by the Chinese getting such capabilities first, no American company should help them acquire the technology or intellectual property that can only intensify that danger. That's especially true if, in the process, we risk becoming more like Communist China with its AI-powered, totalitarian social credit system.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Yesterday, Governor Ron DeSantis joined Texas Governor Gregg Abbott in designating the Muslim Brotherhood and its preeminent American front group, the Council on American Islamic Relations, as foreign terrorist organizations.  As a result, Florida agencies have been directed to undertake “all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support.” Providing material support for terrorism is, of course, precisely what the Muslim Brothers do every day around the world – and in this country.  Presumably, that role – as well as the MB's inspiration for and enabling of violent acts of global jihad will feature prominently in the process President Trump has put in motion to determine whether, and to what extent, the federal government will also effectively Ban the Brotherhood. Help us encourage the President to do just that at BantheBrotherhood.org.   This is Frank Gaffney.

On Sunday, the “Titanium Lady,” Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, lit up one of the worst perpetrators of the sort of treachery her three-part “Underwriting the Enemy” series has relentlessly exposed: J.P.Morgan's CEO Jamie Dimon. While Dimon was given a chance to tout his company's commendable commitment to invest $1.5 trillion in enhancing U.S. security and resiliency, he was also pressed about his practice of raising funds for Chinese military companies. He declared that he was not going to violate American national security policy and would “absolutely walk away from deals with China…assisting with military equipment.”  In fact, Dimon and his ilk know that doing otherwise actually violates President Trump's America First Investment Policy – which, thanks to Rep. John Moolenaar, Congress is poised to make the law of the land. American security and resiliency starts with ending our underwriting of the enemy. This is Frank Gaffney.

A U.S. official just reminded Congress of the enormous threat we face from Communist China: “America's adversaries…are already embedded in our systems, mapping our infrastructure, and preparing to disrupt critical operations at a time of their choosing….Cyberattacks on energy infrastructure are a daily reality and a growing strategic weapon.”  This report makes all the more astounding the fact that the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to enable Chinese Communist companies – even ones blacklisted for being tied directly to the CCP's military – to have privileged access to America's capital markets.  While SEC Chairman Paul Atkins says he's going to “scrutinize” more carefully such companies and what they are doing, unless and until he terminates a 2013 Memorandum of Understanding engineered by then-Vice President Joe Biden, our investors will continue – mostly unwittingly – to prop up and otherwise underwrite the greatest threat this country has ever faced. This is Frank Gaffney.

It's not every day that the American people can have a direct input into the making of decisions that can critically affect the national and homeland security of the United States. Today is such a day.  During a VictoryCo.org briefing at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, we'll launch a new AlignAct campaign that enables the public to communicate to President Trump the necessity of “stripping out” and “removing” the support networks of Radical Islam in this country.  Donald Trump promised to do just that on August 15, 2016 when, as the Republican nominee for president he pledged to take numerous steps to counter Radical Islam's ideology, known as sharia, in America. The prime-mover behind such sharia-supremacism here is the Muslim Brotherhood, a group he's considering designating as a terrorist organization.  Join us in supporting President Trump in doing so at BantheBrotherhood.org.   This is Frank Gaffney.

A critical national security decision is currently under high-level review inside the Trump administration. By Christmas eve, the Secretaries of State and the Treasury are tasked with reporting to the President whether to designate some or all of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.  This should be a no-brainer since the Brotherhood is committed to the destruction of America and its submission, along with the rest of the world, to a global “caliphate” ruling according to Islam's totalitarian sharia code. Filmmaker Ami Horowitz brilliantly documented these ambitions in a short video entitled, “Inside the Muslim Brotherhood.”   The Brothers are aggressively enabled by two influential, but actually subversive so-called U.S. “allies”: Qatar and Turkey. Both are actively opposing any such designation.  But last month, Texas Governor Greg Abbot effectively banned the Brotherhood in his state. President Trump must do the same nationwide. This is Frank Gaffney.

Official Washington is seized at the moment with the question of whether efforts to stop what amounts to chemical warfare against the United States have involved violations of the laws of war and, therefore, illegal orders to military personnel. Specifically, congressional committees are investigating the use of lethal force to destroy Venezuelan fast boats fitting the profile of drug traffickers of the Soles cartel's seaborne smuggling operations.  The transparent hope of congressional Democrats and, apparently some Republicans, is to find a pretext for removing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.  Like the recent video by six Democratic legislators encouraging service personnel to refuse to obey illegal orders, the practical effect will be to render the U.S. armed forces less unified, focused and ready at a time when serious threats to the national security from Communist China, sharia-supremacists and other enemies are metastasizing.

The murder last week of a National Guard soldier by an Afghan veteran granted asylum earlier this year was reminiscent of numerous so-called “green-on-blue” jihadist attacks on our servicemen and women in his country.  Worse yet, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Sunday that as many as 100,000 other Afghans brought here without proper vetting when Joe Biden surrendered their country to the Taliban may also wish to do us harm. And, according to Secretary Noem, this individual, who was trained and worked with U.S. forces prior to that debacle, was actually radicalized in America.  President Trump has announced sweeping actions meant to keep such people from coming and staying here. He must also fulfill a promise made in 2016 that, “The support networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one.” This is Frank Gaffney.

In response to the murder of a National Guard soldier by one of the thousands of Afghan jihadists Joe Biden let into this country after he surrendered theirs to the Taliban, President Trump pledged to do, among other things, the following:  “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries…, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions…and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country;                                                                               denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.” The place to start with this ambitious agenda is by designating the U.S. chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, identifying and removing its operatives, and doing the same to their allies – many thousands of Chinese soldiers now in this country.  This is Frank Gaffney.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, two members of the West Virginia National Guard protecting Washington were attacked in a manner reminiscent of how jihadists surprised and murdered American servicemen during the war in Afghanistan.  That may be because, as President Trump announced last night, their assailant was an Afghan national imported after Joe Biden surrendered his nation to the Taliban.  Unfortunately, Biden not only admitted without screening tens of thousands of such likely Taliban operatives following the fall of Kabul. Countless other jihadists and apparent Chinese soldiers also came across his open borders.  In response to the Guardsmen's shooting, President Trump pledged to remove “any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.”  We will be very lucky – and must be very thankful – if the worst of what those misbegotten Biden policies unleashed is yesterday's attack.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Amidst talk of progress on an end to hostilities in Ukraine, the war emanating from the other side of the world continues, at best, to be misunderstood, at worst, greatly exacerbated by our inattention.  That's the war the Chinese Communist Party has long waged against the United States. Consider just a few examples of the damage the CCP has done to date with ongoing and intensifying “unrestricted warfare” aimed at destroying America:  It's hollowed out our industrial base, ravaging the economy.   It's killed over a million of us with biological warfare in the form of COVID-19.  It's murdered half-a-million more with chemical warfare inflicted by weaponized fentanyl. And tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are inside our country prepared to do even worse to America's people and infrastructure. We must recognize the CCP is at war with us, and respond appropriately. This is Frank Gaffney.

Yesterday, President Trump established by executive order a process for designating “chapters and subdivisions” of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. For those of us deeply concerned about this group's metastasizing enabling of sharia-supremacism globally, this is welcome news.  That said, the President's stated concerns about the threat the Brotherhood poses overseas to U.S. nationals and interests apply, if anything, even more to the many millions of us who can be harmed by the organization's vast numbers of radical clerics, mosques, front groups and terrorist cells operating in this country. So, will Mr. Trump's 30-day tasking to the Secretaries of State and Treasury “concerning the designation of any Muslim Brotherhood chapters or other subdivisions, including those in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt, as foreign terrorist organizations” allow for the threat the Brothers pose domestically to be addressed, as well?  It absolutely must. This is Frank Gaffney.

Donald Trump says he'll designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. When he does – and enforces it, he'll make the most important policy course-correction towards jihadism since 9/11. Until now, our government has refused to recognize that those like the Brothers determined to impose Islam's totalitarian sharia – at least initially, through stealthy means, rather than violent ones – are our enemies, too. Hereafter, President Trump must fulfill promises made in a key campaign speech in August 2016. He condemned the “ideology of Radical Islam” and pledged to screen out “any [immigrants] who have hostile attitudes towards our country or its principles – or who believe that sharia law should supplant American law.” He also promised “the support networks for Radical Islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one.” Start with the Muslim Brotherhood's vast “civilization jihad” network in America. This is Frank Gaffney.

Michigan Representative John Moolenaar is a national treasure.  As chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, he's led opposition to Wall Street's ongoing practice of “funding our demise.” In a recent interview on “Securing America,” Chairman Moolenaar declared: “We see these situations where American investor dollars unknowingly are either advancing…Chinese slave labor or cooperation with the Chinese military industrial complex. And that's just wrong. But we need to make it illegal, and we need to [enact] legislation, as well as cooperation with the executive branch, to shut that down.” A PresentDangerChina.org webinar today featuring Mr. Moolenaar's leadership, will showcase an immediate corrective: SEC Chairman Paul Atkins can swiftly, and unilaterally, terminate a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding that allows CCP companies uniquely to ignore our securities laws and regulations.  Stop financing our demise! This is Frank Gaffney.

Texas Congressman Keith Self just delivered a poweful indictment of the toxic operating code of authoritative Islam known as sharia. In just a few minutes on the House floor, he powerfully documented how “fundamentally at odds” that “dangerous culture of violence and domination” is with our Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees. An Army Ranger veteran who actually fought sharia-supremacists, Rep. Self concluded by warning that, “This is a time for choosing. Either we defeat the sharia advances in America or government of the people, by the people and for the people may indeed perish from the earth.”  As it happens, on Tuesday, another leading Texan – Governor Greg Abbott – made such a choice by designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.  Memo to the jihadis: Don't mess with Texas – or America.  This is Frank Gaffney.
