My sincere thanks to @HouseForeignGOP for inviting me to address this topic of great policy and personal importance.

The United States is not an economic zone for everyone on the planet. If you came here illegally, you have to go back home.

American biotechnology does not need the CCP, but Chinese biotech benefits immensely from access to American innovation and capital. Chairman @RepMoolenaar's bipartisan Biotech Investment National Security Act (BINSA) will stop the CCP from continuing to gain ground in this critical industry. China isn’t trying to save lives or improve patient outcomes by meddling in American pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is trying to gain leverage over our agriculture, medicine, and national security. Passing BINSA is essential! aninews.in/news/world/us/us-…

While the world's focused on China's rise, Japan has been quietly boosting its own strategic importance in Asia — and becoming the Indo-Pacific's most trusted power. My talk with @RobertAlanWard of @iiss_org. ⬇️ Clip below and full video in replies.

"[Obama] actually funded every single thing you're seeing right now." Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt (Ret.) and @SteveYates responded to former President Obama's criticism of President Trump's potential Iran deal on Monday's "National Report." @the_irascible @marc_lotter @SharlaMcBride

There is no amount of information that will make you feel “ready.” There is no amount of approval that will make you feel confident. There is no amount of success that will make you feel entirely fulfilled. Life is about just doing the thing anyway.

The reason Japan fans clean the stadium after each game. Respect. 🤝🇯🇵

Wow. Just wow.

Contrast Tokyo vs NYC. Love America without apology. A little dash of Tokyo wouldn't hurt.

Never have so many opined on something currently understood by so few. Let’s see the details before rushing to judgment—and before swallowing the spin from Tehran, Islamabad, Doha or, to be fair, Washington.

The irony is too rich to ignore. A piece lamenting that players made “a night meant for inclusion about something else entirely” …by simply writing Bible verses on their hats. Silently. On their own caps. Let’s think about what “inclusion” apparently means here: everyone is welcome, celebrated, and affirmed…unless you’re a religious person expressing your faith quietly, in which case you’re a problem to be ridiculed by a major sports outlet. The players weren’t protesting. They weren’t disrupting anything. They weren’t demanding anyone agree with them. They wrote scripture on their hats. That’s it. And yet the media framing treats this as an act of aggression against inclusion…while simultaneously being deeply exclusionary toward them. This is the core contradiction the mainstream sports media can never seem to resolve: inclusion only seems to flow in one direction. Pride Night deserves full-throated coverage and moral endorsement. A Bible verse deserves a condescending op-ed. If a reporter wrote a piece mocking players for putting an LGBTQ symbol on their cap, their career would be over by morning. The double standard isn’t subtle …it’s architectural. True inclusion, by definition, has to include people of sincere religious faith. The moment a media outlet decides that one group’s expression is a celebration and another’s is an embarrassment, they’ve stopped covering a story and started enforcing a cultural orthodoxy. That’s not journalism…it’s a dress code.

No, I give Trump a lot of leeway after: arming Israel; helping Israel destroy much of Iran’s leadership and military; keeping the Arab states on board; releasing the hostages from Gaza. Iran is not what it was. And the regime now has to face the wreckage it wrought economically.

This chronicle of #PRC expansionism along the #1stIslandChain offers a historical perspective on what #Taiwan has faced recently. #China keeps pushing ahead, with no effective pushback yet, & it won't stop here. Democracies must wake up to this reality.

Yo Knicks fans when people say “act like you’ve BEEN THERE before” they don’t mean PRISON.

🚨BASHI BREAKOUT: On June 7, a 🇨🇳Chinese maritime task force pushed past the Bashi Channel and into the open Pacific. None were warships. They were coast guard, maritime safety and rescue vessels. The kinds of ships Beijing uses when it wants its presence read as an assertion of lawful jurisdiction over its neighbors' waters. Hours later, the #CCP-run @globaltimesnews called the operation "a sovereignty declaration with both legal significance and political signaling." They did not bury the lede. We shouldn't either. The target was not 🇹🇼#Taiwan alone. It was a maritime delimitation negotiation between 🇯🇵#Japan and the 🇵🇭#Philippines, two 🇺🇸US treaty allies trying to settle their overlapping maritime claims under the 1982 🇺🇳UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, in waters Beijing's own maps don't even claim. Beijing decided the talks were "completely illegal and void," then ran a multi-agency paramilitary operation to make the point. Coast guard cutters. Provincial Maritime Safety Administration ships. A specialized ocean rescue vessel. All white-hulled. None of them warships. By design. Then Beijing had its own state media label the operation a sovereignty declaration, accused the peaceful negotiators of provocation, then cited that label as justification for its own escalation. This is how China's #grayzone strategy actually works. Not aircraft carriers, not destroyers. A paramilitary force flying civilian colors, advancing a law-enforcement vocabulary, in which patrols like this one first become routine, then become the basis for sovereignty claims the world is expected to accept. #America's 2026 National Defense Strategy commits to "a strong denial defense along the #FirstIslandChain." The first real test of that doctrine has not come from PLA Navy warships. It has come from white-hulled civilian ships flying a law-enforcement banner, in waters belonging to America's allies. Allied doctrine needs to grow up. The First Island Chain has been breached, not by a gray-hulled navy fleet but by white hulls and a vocabulary. The question now is whether Washington, Tokyo, Taipei and Manila treat this as one more isolated incident to manage, or as the paramilitary challenge to a free and open Indo-Pacific that it actually is. 🔗 Link in the reply below.

Our nation’s flag is the ultimate symbol of freedom, and it is inspirational to people around the world who long to enjoy their God-given rights of life and liberty. In their protests against the CCP’s erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy, brave Hong Kongers waved the Stars and Stripes to show their desire for the rights Americans enjoy every day. Our flag offers hope to all who believe in the ideals of our nation. Today on Flag Day, let’s honor our wonderful flag and all it means.

Great seeing the Iron Lady of the East in the land of the late Iron Lady of the West - Margaret Thatcher! The former is building on the tradition of the latter in fighting for the Free World though in a different and unique Cold War, now with CCP/China. Godspeed Your Excellency! 🇯🇵🇬🇧🇺🇸 @lukedepulford @SteveYates @TheChinaDesk @RepMoolenaar

While KMT chair Cheng Li-wun is touring the US, her deputy is in China, speaking at a united front event about the need to make Taiwan China again

“Xi knows that a robust Taiwanese defence industry that can produce the drones and other items that it needs at scale would significantly increase the difficulty of an invasion.” @heguisen Drones hover at centre of Taiwan’s defence debate - @NikkeiAsia asia.nikkei.com/opinion/dron…

China officially declared the waters surrounding Taiwan, including the Taiwan Strait, as its "near-shore waters" or "coastal waters" (近海) for the first time on 11 June 2026. The Chinese Communist Party is setting up the (internally) legal premise for blockading Taiwan.
