STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - America’s Border Begins Overseas
President Donald Trump has long understood something many Washington, D.C. bureaucrats never grasped.

President Donald Trump has long understood something many Washington, D.C. bureaucrats never grasped. America’s border does not begin at the Rio Grande, Niagara Falls, JFK Airport, or along any of the unpatrolled areas along the Southwest border. It begins wherever our enemies begin planning to bring terrorists, narcotics, human traffickers, or deadly contraband toward the United States. That is precisely the philosophy behind U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Office of International Affairs. While the agency recently highlighted its growing international partnerships on social media , this initiative deserves far more attention than a promotional post with a globe emoji. The concept is remarkably simple. Instead of waiting…Open

Washington is taking another crack at the one thing that really scares Xi Jinping. The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) is investigating the wealth of the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) – that’s Xi Jinping, and the other six members of the Politburo Standing Committee, along with the full 25-member Politburo. The FY 2026 Intelligence Authorization Act (Section 513) requires the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to draft the report – and to look at assets, financial holdings, real estate, and business interests – to include those held outside China.

CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY (Sam Faddis) - Time for a second Declaration of Independence – this time from Communist China

The United States is in bad shape. Economically, politically, socially, and militarily, we are getting weaker. There are a lot of reasons for this, but at the heart of them all is the same bad actor, the Chinese Communist Party. From 1945 until 1991, when the Soviet Union finally disintegrated, we kept our eye on the ultimate prize. We formed alliances worldwide to contain the Russian Communists. We maintained a military force of a size never before fielded by our nation in peacetime. We challenged the Soviets, walled them off, and finally consigned them to the dustbin of history. We ought to have done the same with the Chinese Communists. We did not. Under the cover of the rationalization that we would liberalize the CCP by doing business…Open
