When pro-Palestinian activists chant “globalize the intifada,” Bondi Beach is what they want. A father-son Islamist terror team has massacred 15 Australian Jews celebrating Hannukah.

Australia’s Prime Minister went on television to address his nation about the lessons of this terrorist attack. He promised to increase gun restrictions in a country that had already effectively disarmed its population. Anthony Albanese also declared that the biggest threat to Australians is “right wing extremism.”

This is utter nonsense. The terrorists had a license to own and carry the weapons they used to slaughter Jews on the beach. At least one of them had come to the attention of Australian counter-terrorism agents for contact with radical Islamist terrorists. The Australians not only chose to do nothing about that, they refused to disarm them.

The greatest threat to Western security is not “right wing extremism.” It is radical Islamist terrorism and the globalized intifada.

Jamie Dimon—the head of JPMorgan Chase—just announced that he’s leading a $1.5 trillion initiative focused on investing in national security.

Dimon has assembled a council of big names to advise on where to invest the bank’s own money in defense industries, as well as others money and in the hopes to spark others to follow their lead.

We wish him well.

This sort of recognition of the actual threat from the Chinese Communist Party, and their People’s Liberation Army and Navy is great news.

Better news is that a new generation of business titans like Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Palmer Lucky and of course Elon Musk have been aware of the threat to the freedom of the seas for many years and their initiatives and companies are already about the work of next generation weapons systems we need to overcome the advantage China has built up via sheer numbers and massive war making capacity.

It’s time to get serious and put money where the initiative has to be.

A billionaire tech executive has just made one of the most strategic philanthropic gifts in American history.

Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, and his wife Susan are giving more than six billion dollars to seed saving accounts for 25 million American children 10 and younger. Each child will receive 250 dollars.

This won’t lift families out of poverty. But it will offer 25 million children a concrete reason to master financial literacy—and their own stake in America’s economic system

Generosity is always noble. But too often, giving on the left relies on top down programs that breed dependency. The Dells have taken the opposite approach: a bottom up investment that nurtures ownership, hope, and a sense of belonging.

This is philanthropy with a heart— and a brain. America owes the Dells a true debt of gratitude.

George Washington Plunkitt was born into poverty in 1842 but rose through the ranks of the Democratic Party machine of New York the famed “Tammany Hall” to become a state legislator who also became quite wealthy along the way.

Now: We have a new sort of Democratic Party machine—with the latest grift exposed in Minnesota.

Boss Plunkitt would admit it brazenly, saying: “I seen my opportunities and I took ‘em.”

And today’s Democrats sure have “taken ’em” as well.

It’s not just Minnesota. California—and other blue states—are drowning in fraud.

The connecting thread are the various schemes associated with COVID—state government “initiatives” that were porous and loaded with fraud funded by the Feds.

The president should create and team and dig deep on all of it. We need a report—and we need it fast.

Give them a deadline: Maybe end of August next year. Voters deserve to know how their state governments worked during COVID—or how they didn’t—before they vote again.

The Supreme Court heard a case just recently that all conservatives and, and all Christians should be paying very close attention to.

It comes out of New Jersey and First Choice Women’s Resource Center—which is a crisis pregnancy center.

New Jersey’s Attorney General issued a hostile subpoena against First Choice—demanding they give the Attorney General 10 years’ worth of documents, on abortion pill reversal, information it provided to clients and donors, documents identifying personnel, organizations that the pregnancy center works with and information on their donors.

It's chilling stuff—and a horrible precedent.

The details are downright Orwellian.

It is—quite simply—oppression from the state. It’s targeting this Crisis Pregnancy Center.

The center turned to the Alliance Defending Freedom, the ADF—and Erin Hawley from the group argued the case before the Supreme Court.

Justices seemed receptive to the arguments of the Crisis Pregnancy Center. They should be our arguments as well.

We’ll be watching closely.

"The problem with socialism," Margaret Thatcher famously observed, "is that you eventually run out of other people's money." New data shows that France is on the verge of exhausting this resource – but the US is not far behind.

This week, Michael Arouet published what he calls "probably the scariest chart you'll see today," showing that only one-third of France’s population works in the private sector. “How are they supposed to feed the remaining two-thirds with their taxes?” Arouet wondered.

Well might we wonder, too. The most recent data in the US shows that only 40% of the population works in the private sector. Seven percent work for the government. More than half of the population does not work at all. In fact, the percentage of American adults classified as “not in the labor force” by retirement, disability, or other reasons comes to 37.6% – slightly higher than France.

Arouet highlights the unsustainability of France’s social state as workers dwindle. We need to start talking about that unsustainability in the US as well.

The man accused of attacking National Guard members last month came here from Afghanistan — arriving without identification. President Trump has how announced a pause on immigration from “third world” countries. The goal is to ensure people from unstable regions can be properly vetted, and to remove those who hate America.

Predictably, critics on the left—like Senator Mark Kelly—are objecting, and just as predictably, they’re crying “racism.”

What nonsense. The issue isn’t race. It’s common sense. No responsible nation knowingly imports people who hate our country, our people and our way of life—whatever color they are.

The first duty of American leaders isn’t to third world migrants. It’s to protect their fellow citizens—the people who elected them—and to safeguard this country’s security, stability, and freedom.

If that means a pause on third-world immigration, then so be it.

There’s a great debate today about what America First foreign policy means or should mean—and what “no more forever wars” entails. Meanwhile, President Trump is showing a fluidity and flexibility in foreign policy in real time—all under the justifiable notion of keeping America and Americans safe.

He did this in backing Israel against the world’s worst terrorists who also had targeted and killed vast numbers of Americans, including attempts to kill President Trump, himself. He did this in taking out the nuclear capability of the leading state sponsor of such terrorism and threat. And he’s now putting pressure on the Fidel Castro of Latin America, Nicholas Maduro and his outlaw regime, which is also responsible for sending criminal gangs and illegal drugs into the United States.

The Monroe Doctrine is not dead, and neither should be the Roosevelt corollary. What should end is Hezbollah’s and China’s involvement in Venezuela and Maduro’s criminality. Donald Trump took an oath to protect and defend us. That’s America, and Americans, First.
