"This president gets it. This president is doing everything in his considerable power to increase American ship building capacity" @RodDMartin The U.S. Navy is below 300 ships. A maritime nation that must control the world’s choke points—from the Taiwan Strait to Hormuz and Malacca—cannot do so with that force. We had 15 carriers at the end of the Cold War; we now have 11, with only five or six typically available for deployment. Trump is using trade deals to expand U.S. shipbuilding capacity with South Korea, Japan, and Finland. Those partners must open yards here and train American workers. China holds roughly 230 times our shipbuilding capacity. This is a self-inflicted vulnerability. Securing America with Frank Gaffney 10.21.26: Watch the full discussion here on 𝕏
SECURING AMERICA: 10/21/26 Frank Gaffney is joined by Peter McIlvenna and Rod D. Martin to discuss European unrest, threats from immigration and Islamic networks, and the strategic realignment of American power at home and abroad. Frank and Peter discuss the ongoing rioting and disorder in France, with reports of destruction in Paris, Marseille, and Lyon, alongside related unrest in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Albania. He attributes public anger to open borders, economic pressures, unemployment, the war in Ukraine, and dissatisfaction with political leadership and the European Union. The discussion then turns to a letter signed by 33 leaders urging the governors of Texas and Florida to assess mosques and Islamic centers for ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, review their educational programs and activities, and pause new construction while those investigations proceed. @HeartsofOakUK Frank and Rod discuss Rod new new book, Trump’s New World Re-Order, which argues that the United States should shift from carrying most of the burden for allies’ defense toward stronger partnerships, with European countries and Canada increasing their NATO spending. He covers the war in Ukraine, the possibility of a negotiated settlement, and China’s leverage with Russia. Rod also stresses the need to rebuild American shipbuilding capacity and expand the naval fleet to secure key maritime routes, including through foreign partnerships for training and the use of unmanned vessels. The conversation concludes with China’s ambitions in space, the strategic importance of the Moon’s south pole for water ice that can support life and rocket fuel, and how control of space resources could shape future economic and military dominance. @RodDMartin

Retired Plano Police Lieutenant Douglas Deaton describes the first house built on the East Plano Islamic Center property. It sits feet from the Plano Police Academy, with a large second-story balcony overlooking the department’s bomb and SWAT vehicle lot and a public warning siren roughly ten feet from the rear wall. The structure was built before the mosque itself, on the first of 74 available lots, and was originally owned by the then-president of the center.

SECURING AMERICA: 10/22/26 Frank Gaffney is joined by retired Plano Police Lieutenant Douglas Deaton to examine concerns about the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), its proximity to critical public-safety infrastructure, and the need for official scrutiny of Islamic centers and mosques. Douglas recounts his 25 years and nine months in law enforcement, including patrol, SWAT, criminal investigations, and training, before retiring in 2021 to run a private investigations and litigation consulting firm focused on use-of-force and investigative reviews. He describes a fortress-like house built beside the Plano Police Academy—the first completed in the development—overlooking training areas and a controlled-access lot for bomb-response and SWAT vehicles, and notes similar patterns near other facilities in Texas. Frank and Douglas discuss the center’s imam, Yasser Qadhi, alleged associations with Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations and speakers, public evidence of extremist affiliations, and what they characterize as a red-green alliance. They repeat calls for Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to investigate these entities and pause new construction while reviews of their activities, educational programs, and potential security risks are completed.

SECURING AMERICA: 10/23/26 Frank Gaffney is joined by Joe Gebbia Sr., founder and CEO of State Shield, to discuss state-level defenses against foreign influence, the need to rebuild America’s industrial base, and the threats posed by globalization and Islamic networks. Joe traces his path from city council service in Brookhaven, Georgia, to founding State Shield, which connects state legislatures with the federal government. He reports that the organization has helped advance 54 pieces of legislation over three sessions, including state-level versions of the Foreign Agents Registration Act requiring representatives of countries of concern to disclose themselves when engaging with government. The conversation covers efforts to reduce dependence on foreign supply chains for items such as penicillin ingredients, drones, solar panels, port cranes, and aluminum, while supporting domestic manufacturing and processes that can restore independence and strengthen the middle class. Gebbia and Gaffney also address competing visions of the international order, the risks of postwar institutions and globalization, the potential role of artificial intelligence in shaping national values, and the need for greater transparency around immigration status and funding sources linked to Islamic movements. @StateShieldUSA

Support the Open Letter: Urge Governors Abbott and DeSantis to Investigate Sharia-Supremacist Mosques and Pause New Construction Thirty-three leaders of patriotic organizations across the country have released an open letter to Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida. The letter commends both governors for designating the Muslim Brotherhood and its American front group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), as terrorist organizations. It then calls on them to take the next necessary steps: investigate whether mosques tied to the Brotherhood and other Sharia-supremacist networks are functioning as “critical infrastructure for jihad,” and declare a temporary moratorium on approving any additional mosques in their states until those investigations are completed. WHAT YOU CAN DO Read the full open letter and review the list of signatories. Contact Governor Abbott and Governor DeSantis to express support for investigations into Brotherhood-linked and other Sharia-supremacist mosques, and for a pause on new approvals until those reviews are complete. Share the letter with others who are concerned about the growth of this infrastructure in Texas, Florida, and elsewhere in the country.

"Connect the Dots" In Our Time securingamerica.substack.com… After 9/11, we were told the attacks occurred because we failed to “connect the dots.” Unfortunately, we’re doing that now, too. For example, France and other nations like ours are under violent attack by Marxists and jihadists. Their counterparts here are mobilizing as well, first to win elections. Failing that, there’s abundant evidence this “Red-Green axis” plans to create chaos, aimed explicitly at delegitimizing the federal government and overthrowing the Constitution. And the critical infrastructure available to facilitate such an insurrection has been created with over 3,000 Muslim Brotherhood and other sharia-supremacist forward operating bases masquerading as “mosques” across the country. Taken together, these dots reveal what Ronald Reagan called our times’ “existential threat to freedom.” Please get out and vote as if your own future and those of your children and children’s children depend on it. Because they do.

Dare Call it Sedition - and Prevent It securingamerica.substack.com… This year’s midterms are described as the most important in our nation’s history. A growing torrent of revelations unearthed by an online resource called Data Republican suggest however that, if the Marxist-jihadists now dominating the Democratic Party have their way, these elections may actually be America’s last, other than in name only. Such revelations include evidence that an array of non-governmental organizations populated by former government specialists in overthrowing foreign regimes have joined forces with a large number of so-called “National Security Leaders for America.” Their explicit goal is to find grounds for declaring the elected federal government “illegitimate” and creating conditions with blue-state governors and revolutionary ground-games to replace our Constitution and Republic. There’s not a moment to lose. Such seditious plotting must be rolled up and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law while we still can.

Paris Is Burning securingamerica.substack.com… In 1944, as France was being liberated from Nazi German occupation, Adolf Hitler ordered his general in Paris to put the city to the torch. Thanks be to God, the commander respected that beautiful testament to Western culture and civilization and refused. Today, Paris is burning, at the hands of mobs who have no such respect and are being weaponized by the Red-Green axis. Other parts of France and Europe are, too. If we let it, that template of Marxist-jihadist violence, and the chaos it precipitates, will likely be unleashed here. It behooves us, therefore, to recognize the forces behind that threat – the Democratic Socialists of America and the Muslim Brotherhood – for what they are: enemies within. Every legal means must be employed to: warn of the danger they pose; deprive them of funding and infrastructure; and disrupt their seditious plans.

Patriots Urge Action Against Threatening Mosques securingamerica.substack.com… The relentless expansion in the United States of the number and footprint of “Islamic societies,” “Islamic centers” and other mosques tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and similarly sharia-supremacist networks is giving rise to “critical infrastructure for jihad” in America. That’s the assessment of some three-dozen of us committed to opposing that threat contained in a just-released open letter to Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida. After commending the two men for correctly designating the Brotherhood as a “terrorist organization,” we argued that it is not just prudent, but mandatory, that the organization’s so-called “masjids” and those of others who share the Brothers’ determination to “destroy Western civilization from within” be investigated. We also urged the Governors to declare moratoriums in their states on the approval of additional mosques at least until those investigations are completed. Let’s roll!

Trump Exposes Muslim Brotherhood Electoral Jihad in Michigan securingamerica.substack.com… President Trump just characterized Marxist-jihadist Democratic Senate nominee Abdulrahman el-Sayed as “Muslim Brotherhood.” He has thereby not only exposed that candidate’s myriad personal and family ties to a group Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida have correctly designated as a “terrorist organization.” The President has set the stage for finally doing the same at the federal level. After all, the U.S. government established in court in 2008 that the Brotherhood’s mission in America is “to destroy Western civilization from within.” A powerful BanSharia.com webinar yesterday documented how mosques owned and operated by the Brothers are being used for that purpose – demonstrating the urgent need for their investigation as threats to public safety and national security and a pause in allowing any more of them to be opened here. Just do it, Messrs. Trump, Abbott and DeSantis!

Securing America with Mike DeHaven & George Rasley securingamerica.substack.com… Mike DeHaven, co-founder and president of America Safe Haven, discusses the latest deadly attack on schoolchildren in Oregon and the pattern of similar violence across the United States. We examine what can be done to protect schools through the technology and expertise offered by SafeHavenUS.com — a program made possible by family-office and corporate philanthropy that urgently needs to be expanded to cover far more school systems nationwide. George Rasley, editor of Conservative HQ, analyzes the threat of Sharia supremacism, with particular focus on the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadist infrastructure it has built in the United States over decades alongside other networks, all aimed at undermining Western civilization from within. We discuss the need for investigations in Texas and Florida — states where Governors Abbott and DeSantis have already designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization — including close scrutiny of mosques to determine whether they function as incubators and enablers of violent jihad. We also address why those governors should impose a moratorium on the approval and construction of additional such facilities until those investigations are complete.

Sharia-adherent Mosques are Ticking Time-bombs securingamerica.substack.com… Increasingly, communities across America have discovered land has been sold – sometimes surreptitiously – to buyers intent on building an “Islamic society” or “Islamic center,” sometimes with plans to surround them with Muslim-only neighborhoods or even “cities.” Local authorities usually treat the resulting applications for such land use as routine zoning matters, rubber-stamping them if they conform to relevant ordinances. Unfortunately, such mosques are typically owned by the Muslim Brotherhood’s front group called the North American Islamic Trust. Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida have correctly designated the Brotherhood and another of its fronts as “terrorist organizations.” And such sharia-adherent mosques constitute part of the critical infrastructure of jihad. Memo to the governors: The danger thus posed to public safety and national security must be investigated, with a moratorium on further mosque applications until the associated risks are fully assessed.

There Must be Costs for Xi's Ongoing Strategic Arson securingamerica.substack.com… According to the Wall Street Journal, Communist China is continuing its longstanding practice of proliferating weapons of mass destruction and/or their delivery systems to the world’s most dangerous regimes. Over the years, the recipients have included North Korea, Pakistan and Iran. The latest report discloses covert shipments of Chinese parts for Houthi terrorists’ manufacture of an Iranian precision-guided medium-range ballistic missile. Given the Houthis’ ongoing attacks on Saudi Arabia, its vessels in the Red Sea and past demonstrated willingness to attack Israel, this behavior fits the profile of Xi Jinping’s practice of what amounts to “strategic arson.” President Trump is scheduled to meet the Chinese communist emperor once again next month. Notice must be served that there will be material costs to the Chinese Communist Party if it persists in what amounts to World War Xi against our interests and allies.

Memo to Gov. Abbott - Declare a Moratorium on Mosque Construction in Texas securingamerica.substack.com… On March 3rd, roughly two million Texans approved a ballot proposition declaring, “Texas should prohibit sharia law.” A powerful impetus behind that vote was the prospect of the East Plano Islamic Center building a sharia-adherent “city” in North Texas. Three weeks later, a retired police lieutenant named Douglas Deaton warned local authorities that elements of that city have been in place for as long as 12 years. He described its first “house” as a “fortress and command post” with apparent surveillance and firing positions overlooking a police facility. Since Mohammed’s time, mosques have been used to store weapons and train and plot for their use in jihad. Gov. Greg Abbott – who has promised to block EPIC City – should immediately declare a moratorium on further construction of such forward operating bases pending an investigation of the threat they pose to their communities and state.

Securing America with Dede Laugesen & Wayne Laugesen securingamerica.substack.com… Dede Laugesen, President and CEO of Save the Persecuted Christians, provides an update on the worldwide persecution of Christians. We discuss a somewhat encouraging development in Armenia alongside the ongoing crisis in Nigeria, and the possibility that progress in one place could help advance justice for those being massacred or otherwise brutalized simply for following Jesus Christ. It is a sobering examination of a profound crime against humanity unfolding on our watch. Wayne Laugesen, host of the Wayne’s World Podcast, examines the indoctrination of children in Colorado by the teachers’ union and public school system — teaching them to reject America while embracing communism, Sharia supremacism, and the transgender ideology. We assess the implications not only for the students most directly affected, but for Colorado and the nation as a whole. If this pattern is not confined to one state, it demands urgent corrective action before enemies within are positioned to destroy the country from the inside.

Sweden's Warning - Defeat the Red-Green Axis Now! securingamerica.substack.com… Last month, leftists in Sweden were able to win a narrow parliamentary majority over the center-right coalition that had been working hard to correct years of unchecked immigration and giving the vote to migrants principally from Muslim countries. Such sharia-supremacists’ ground-game, bloc-voting and “ballot box jihad” gave the margin of victory to Sweden’s “Red-Green axis.” While that arrangement has yet to produce a governing coalition, it is a cautionary tale that American patriots ignore at their peril. That’s because the Muslim Brotherhood and Communists doing business as Democratic Socialists of America are following the same playbook to elect radical Democrats in next month’s mid-term elections here. If victorious, there will be no ameliorating coalition negotiations, just the axis’ exercise of raw power to undermine our Constitution and accommodate sharia. Vote as if your freedom depends on it, because it certainly does.

Protect Our Forces and Homeland - Liberate Iran securingamerica.substack.com… The United States has hastily removed B-1 bombers staging out of a British air base to strike targets in Iran – the only one currently available for that purpose in all of Europe. The reason was that a suspected attack on the facility was narrowly averted last week and another was believed to be impending. Unsurprisingly, investigators reportedly think there’s an Iranian connection to those threats. Unfortunately, the relocation of our aircraft to bases here at home is no guarantee they won’t face a similar fate. For one thing, unidentified drones have repeatedly overflown our sensitive military installations. For another, Hezbollah – Iran’s foreign legion – is believed to have numerous cells in this country awaiting orders to engage in sabotage or other violent actions. The only real prospect for ending such threats is to help liberate the people of Iran. Finish the job.

Securing America with Thomas Dans & Dr. David Wurmser securingamerica.substack.com… Thomas Dans, founder of American Daybreak, discusses the renewed strategic importance of Greenland to U.S. hemispheric security. We examine how President Trump’s initiatives and negotiations have strengthened America’s ability to protect both the well-being of the Greenlandic people and vital U.S. interests there — an extraordinary accomplishment that deserves to be recognized as such. Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs at the Center for Security Policy, joins us for a wide-ranging discussion. We cover the anti-Semitism and hostility toward Israel now formalized in the platform of the United Kingdom’s Green Party, as well as sanctions that Britain and other European nations are applying to Israel’s Judea and Samaria. We also examine a narrowly averted terrorist attack on a U.K. base that prompted the removal of U.S. forces, lest a follow-on attack succeed. Finally, we assess the situation in Iran and the U.S. Navy’s success in ensuring that more oil and gas can now move through the Persian Gulf than before the war — none of it from Iran — and what that means for the prospect of toppling the jihadist regime and liberating the Iranian people.

The Lessons for Us of October 7th securingamerica.substack.com… Three years ago today, jihadists murderously attacked innocent Israeli civilians and others. Given the size of Israel’s population, the numbers impacted correspond to about 35,000 Americans. The trauma inflicted by Hamas operatives from Gaza was not confined to the rapes, beheadings, and other destruction. It was compounded by the taking of hostages and their brutal, manipulative mistreatment in the many months that followed October 7th. While Israel’s ongoing retribution against those responsible and their enablers has been punishing, its experience must be a warning. Similar attacks could be mounted at any time inside the United States by sharia-supremacists, perhaps using the mosques and other critical infrastructure they have emplaced across America. The fact we ignore at our peril is that ultimate “endless war” was begun against Western civilization 1400 years ago by Mohammed. It won’t end until sharia-supremacism is decisively defeated.
