FRANK GAFFNEY: U.S. military won’t obey unlawful Gitmo order

For seven long years, the United States military has been subjected, as has the country it protects, to a series of assaults on its strength, character and stature - not at the hands of foreign foes, but at the direction of President Barack Obama.

FRANK GAFFNEY: It’s not terrorism, it’s jihad

Attorney General Loretta Lynch says there's no evidence that either of the San Bernardino shooters had ties to terrorist organizations. Unfortunately, such assurances miss the point and are deeply misleading.

FRANK GAFFNEY: It sure quacks like jihad

Are you puzzled by what's being said about the murderous attack Wednesday in San Bernandino by reporters, officials and so-called "experts?"

FRANK GAFFNEY: China’s reserve currency will threaten ours

Monday may be remembered as when our economic well-being and national security began changing forever. That's because the International Monetary Fund for the first time included the Chinese yuan among the world's reserve currencies. It even treated China's money as more valuable than that of Japan and the United Kingdom.

U.S. President Barack Obama gestures to journalists following a news conference at the end of the G-20 summit in Antalya, Turkey, Monday, Nov. 16, 2015. The Paris terror attacks have sparked widespread calls from congressional Republicans to end or limit U.S. refugee admissions from Syria, with some threatening to use critical spending legislation as leverage weeks from a must-pass deadline. That could allow Republicans to block Obama's goal of bringing 10,000 more Syrian refugees to the U.S. during this budget year. (Anadolu Agency via AP, Pool)

FRANK GAFFNEY: No more jihadist ‘refugees’

There may yet be hope for our Republic. Barack Obama's imperial ship of state seems to have hit a perfect political storm, and he just may be forced to make a course correction.

FRANK GAFFNEY: Breakthrough on securing the grid?

It's long been apparent that the United States faces an existential threat arising from the complete dependency of its people, economy and security on an electric grid that is not resilient. To date, however, little-to-nothing has been done to remedy that situation - even as jihadist and other threats to the grid are proliferating.

FRANK GAFFNEY: Override President Obama’s dangerous defense veto

The president vetoed on Thursday the annual legislation used to authorize defense programs and the pay and benefits for our troops. Unfortunately, this is but the latest manifestation of the Obama Doctrine that emboldens our enemies, undermines our friends and diminishes our country.
