The Venezuela #Maduro regime continues to murder or make citizens disappear who dared to vote against the regime in the July 28 elections. The latest is Asdrubal Santana from Apure state. We say his name to honor his sacrifice for freedom in #Venezuela, he died for the right to…

Secretary of State nominee @marcorubio gave perhaps the best speech I have ever heard on the dangers of authoritarianism and the universal appeal of liberty @IRIglobal’s 2024 Freedom Award gala. Please watch. It’s impossible not to be moved and inspired. youtu.be/rFtuAkKmz_c?si…


By committing to smart support for 🇺🇦, Trump can build the leverage to negotiate a deal that secures 🇺🇦 sovereignty & protects 🇺🇸 interests, turning a precarious moment into a historic achievement. A victory for Putin would do the opposite of making America great. @joshrogin

Pressuring Ukraine into a bad deal would harm Ukraine, the United States and Trump’s own legacy, @joshrogin writes. wapo.st/3YGTdyC



Xi’s Taiwan timeline means the next secretary has 2 years to prevent WWIII. The lack of accountability after the shameful Afghanistan withdrawal & failure to deter Russia undermined confidence. Time for enemies to fear 🇺🇸 once again. ⁦@RepGallagherwsj.com/opinion/two-ye…


Exceptional: since 2009, US GDP per capita has almost doubled to $86,600, according to the IMF. Eurozone GDP per capita has risen about 17% and now stands at just half the level in 🇺🇸. on.ft.com/48NjJLc


.⁦@marcorubio⁩ will be the first 🇺🇸 Secretary of State sanctioned by China. I was in the same sanctions batch alongside new Senate Conference Chair ⁦@SenTomCotton⁩. Targeting ⁦@IRIglobal⁩ board members reminds us what Xi fears most: freedom for China’s people

Congratulations to ⁦@IRIglobal⁩ board’s ⁦@SenMarcoRubio⁩ on his nomination as Secretary of State. He is a true freedom fighter and has led America’s pivot to strategic competition against the greatest danger to freedom in this world—the Chinese Communist Party. Bravo!

China must face ‘higher cost’ for backing Russia in Ukraine, says next EU foreign policy chief theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…


Europe’s long history of power projection has made it impossible to imagine that countries such as Iran or North Korea could be determinants of European security. But what was once hard to fathom is now the reality. ⁦@mkimmage⁩ ⁦@HannaNottereader.foreignaffairs.com/2024/11/07/how…


Smart take on the upside potential of a Trump administration national security strategy that restores deterrence, rebuilds 🇺🇸 power and retakes the strategic initiative, by ⁦@KoriSchakereader.foreignaffairs.com/2024/11/08/the…

#Ukraine should be an easy one for Trump’s team: Anything that gives Putin a win gives China a win, weakening 🇺🇸. That isn’t a recipe for greatness or strength. Could Trump represent a through-line from Reagan, standing down 🇨🇳 just as Reagan stood down the Soviets?@KaminskiMK

Trump _could_ be a Reagan II in Cold War II. He has the mandate. Now will he have the right people and policies is the question for 2025 politi.co/3ULFNAf

.⁦@michaelgwaltz⁩ is an excellent choice for National Security Advisor. Proud that he headlined ⁦@IRIglobal⁩’s event on the future of 🇺🇸 foreign policy in Milwaukee. Vital work ahead to build peace through strength, restore deterrence, counter authoritarian aggression

“The level of dissatisfaction in 🇺🇦 with the Biden administration was at such a level that they felt that it was time for a change…” “Trump wants to be a winner, not a loser. To become a winner, he needs to show Putin his place.” on.ft.com/4erhzCp

Trump’s appointments of Waltz and Rubio are likely making leaders nervous in Beijing. Good. It’s long past time the United States had foreign policy leaders who understand the character and danger of the Chinese Communist Party.


“There are few actors in the world that pose as grave a threat to 🇺🇸national security as does Iran.” —Attorney General Garland. Iran “has been conspiring with criminals and hit men to target and gun down Americans on 🇺🇸 soil.” —FBI Director Wray wsj.com/politics/natio…
