Xi is likely on the rocks because he hasn’t been sufficiently aggressive for the harder core politburo types who want a dominant China now and NOT in ten or twenty years.

Our American challenge is the internal subversion they’ve been leading for many decades with those who I’ll identify as “fellow travelers.” These are key people and in many cases, entire institutions.

None of this comes as a surprise to the majority of the American people. In 2024, the frightening scenario of a Harris presidency led to a historic victory for President Donald J. Trump.

His challenges, while immense, are not insurmountable, but time is his greatest enemy along with far more subversion inside the USG bureaucracy than during his previous administration.

Pray I’m wrong but for someone who spent his adult life examining our nation’s security, this is where I believe we stand under this arch of U.S. history.
