God help us

President Trump has declared that he won yesterday’s hotly contested election. He has also announced that widespread fraud has been employed to deny him victory.

While both points remain to be validated, we already know that, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, never have so many done so much to defeat one man.

If Donald Trump does in fact prevail, he will have overcome the following: systematic efforts by Democratic partisans to rig the vote; the virtually universal complicity of the so-called “mainstream media”; the active manipulation by the big social media platforms; and the direct involvement of the Chinese Communist Party and its allies, foreign and domestic – all aimed at taking down this President.

These attempts to steal the election will next be compounded by revolutionary upheavals engineered by the Black Lives Matter organization, Antifa, the Muslim Brotherhood and others.

God help us.

Vote as if freedom depends on it, because it does

My old boss, Ronald Reagan, famously declared that every generation faces an existential threat to freedom. He warned that liberty is not passed on through the blood stream. It has to be fought for, protected and turned over to the next generation to do the same.

Should we fail to do that, Mr. Reagan, foretold, “We will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was like to live in the United States when men were free.”

I for one have no interest in being consigned to such a fate. I am sure that you don’t either.

If so, on this day, we are all called to do our duty, to cast our ballot, to preserve and defend our Constitution, thereby ensuring that our children and grandchildren will have the chance to do it, too.

If you still can, please vote.

Address this foreign threat to our elections

The integrity of tomorrow’s elections is being threatened in a number of ways. One that’s particularly ominous has, to date, been little discussed and apparently gone uncorrected.

Incredibly, no fewer than 28 of our states – including 10 swing states – have their vote counts processed in a foreign country on George Soros-tied computers. What could possibly go wrong?

The short answer is plenty. Although federal and state officials have long been warned about this arrangement – and evidence that it actually was exploited to alter key outcomes in 2018 – the vulnerability persists. And now there’s no time to fix it for this year’s races.

What can and must be done is ensure that these 28 states contemporaneously share with U.S. authorities the data they are generating and sending offshore for tabulation. That will allow at least a needed check on the results tallied abroad.

The coming “color revolution”

Radical leftists have announced that they will be “shutting down” Washington, D.C. starting on the evening of Election Day. Their stated objective is to create enough chaos there, and presumably elsewhere across the country, to compel Donald Trump to relinquish the Presidency.

Yesterday, I hosted a special edition of our new television program, “Securing America,” featuring analyses by ten of our country’s foremost experts on what are, in fact, insurrectionists and their subversive operations. Check it out at SecuringAmerica.TV and learn about the so-called “color revolution” that’s in prospect and aimed not just at removing President Trump from office, but overthrowing our constitutional Republic.

By exposing the color revolutionaries’ seditious plans and equipping Americans to be prepared for them, we hope to help ensure a free and fair election – and preserve our country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Join us at SecuringAmerica.TV.

Job 1 for the Next POTUS will be the Chinese Communist Party

While there are myriad uncertainties about the outcome of next week’s presidential election, one thing is certain. The winner will have as Job One contending with the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party to our national security, the U.S. economy and, in all likelihood, our  public health.

It is equally clear that Xi Jingping’s dictatorship recognizes how high the stakes are in our elections for China. The extent of its intervention in our national decision is the subject of a frightening new film available for free on YouTube by Chinese expatriate Simone Gao and called “The American Republic vs. the CCP.” It documents, for example, how Beijing has even weaponized big data-collecting apps like TikTok to influence voters in this country.

We have never faced a bigger threat than Communist China. Our next Commander-in-Chief must understand that. So must American voters.

We must not underwrite the Chinese Communist Party’s “technologically enhanced totalitarianism”

Deputy National Security Advisor Matthew Pottinger, who is arguably the U.S. government’s most knowledgeable expert on the Chinese Communist Party, recently spoke in Mandarin to the people of China and others threatened by what he calls the technologically-enhanced totalitarianism of Xi Jinping’s regime.

Mr. Pottinger described “the Party’s sheer ambition to wed traditional Leninist techniques with powerful new tools of digital surveillance,” observing that even children are “fair game under Beijing’s rules of political warfare.”

As it happens, thanks to the CCP’s collusion with “Beijing’s Bankers” on Wall Street, American investors are poised to pour tens of billions of dollars into Ant Technology Group, a Chinese conglomerate that enables Xi’s ambitions.

Fortunately, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Marco Rubio introduced legislation yesterday that would end such U.S. underwriting of our Chinese Communist enemies. Learn more at PresentDangerChina.org.

America’s justice

For those of us who love America, yesterday was a joyous affirmation of our country and its Constitution. A woman who cherishes both – and exemplifies the best they have to offer our people and the world – was confirmed to be the newest Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation was something of a morality tale. This clearly outstanding jurist, mother, scholar and patriot was simply impossible to subject to the sorts of character assassination that has been unleashed on several previous candidates for the Court. Critics were reduced to imputing to her certain beliefs, notably about health care and life, and denouncing how she will rule as a justice.

What the rest of us saw, however, was someone we can trust to make the constitutional calls fairly and dispassionately. Amy Coney Barrett will be America’s Justice, thank God.

The end of free and fair U.S. elections?

Everyone is getting into the act of trying to influence next week’s elections. Iran and Russia have used cyber means to interfere. Their activities, however, pale by comparison with the multifaceted and aggressive efforts of Communist China.

Democratic partisans are using a variety of techniques to alter outcomes. So are mainstream media whose preferences for Democratic policies and candidates over those of the Republican Party are unmistakable.

The same has been increasingly evident in the social media, as well. A new documentary called “The Social Dilemma,” presents influential industry figures describing sophisticated algorithms used to addict and subliminally manipulate its users.

Clearly, such techniques can advance the tech giants’ leftist agenda. And it seems certain they will be employed for that purpose, probably dwarfing the impact of all the other would-be influencers. They may finish off free and fair elections for good.

The Chinese Communist Party insists on dictating “the rules,” not complying with them

In one of the few times last night when what was supposed to be the foreign policy presidential debate actually addressed what the candidates would do about challenges overseas, former Vice President Joe Biden laid out how he would handle Communist China.

Mr. Biden repeatedly declared that he would “make China play by the international rules.” This statement calls to mind Albert Einstein who declared: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

If ever there were an example of a failed foreign policy it is the idea that, if we just “engage” with the Chinese Communists, they will behave and play by the so-called “rules.” What such engagement has actually produced is a very threatening PRC that uses its power to change those rules or contemptuously violate them.

Proven, counterproductive insanity is not an acceptable plan.

A yawning electoral vulnerability – Stop counting US votes in Spain

Our democracy is under cyberattack. The Director of National Intelligence revealed yesterday that Iranian operatives have sent threatening emails aimed at influencing voters’ choice for president.

DNI John Ratcliffe offered reassurances that our government is “on top of this.” Hopefully, that’s the case. Confidence would be higher, however, if he and other senior officials were acting to prevent what appears to be a far more serious electronic threat to our elections.

Dallas-based Allied Special Operations Group has been warning for many months that twenty-eight U.S. states rely on servers in Spain to process electoral returns. The Group’s Russ Ramsland recently presented evidence on my TV show, “Securing America,” showing at least one race – for Kentucky’s governor – being stolen in 2018 when such data streams were manipulated.

We need the U.S. government on top of fixing this vulnerability, NOW.
