US Navy: Projecting strength and building the fleet of tomorrow

Oct 23, 2024 | foxnews.com | Lindsey Graham |Morgan Ortagus

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! It’s time for all Americans to grasp a hard truth: in a world that may be on the brink of World War III, our military budgets are inconsistent with the threats we face. This is especially the case with the budget of the Department of the Navy. The bad news: the current Navy budget will not make a stronger military or a larger U.S. fleet a reality.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: US NAVY: PROJECTING STRENGTH AND BUILDING THE FLEET OF TOMORROW US must make significant investments in our Navy fleet or face the costs of inaction.

20 Security Failures From The Biden-Harris Administration’s Open Border

Oct 21, 2024 | dailywire.com | Morgan Ortagus

— News and Commentary —The White House's failure to secure the southern border has led to a disturbing rise in drug trafficking, human smuggling, and murder. Last week, former President Bill Clinton said the quiet part out loud while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris: Georgia nursing student Laken Riley would still be alive today if her alleged illegal immigrant killer had been “properly vetted” by the Biden-Harris administration. He’s right. America was built by immigrants.
The Democrat Foreign Policy Platform: Don’t Believe Your Own Eyes

Aug 21, 2024 | dailywire.com | Morgan Ortagus

True to form, the Democratic Party’s 2024 foreign policy platform is as full of historical revisionism as one would predict. Its contents range from artful dodging to outright untruths. Most importantly, the platform is divorced from the actual Biden-Harris foreign policy record of the last four years.
Biden is losing Africa and here’s why that should scare us

Jun 5, 2024 | foxnews.com | John James |Morgan Ortagus

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Across the world, President Biden’s foreign policy has ceded ground to enemies of the U.S. Now, after decades of development work and hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to Africa, including saving countless lives through PEPFAR, the U.S. is rapidly losing the continent to warlords, Russian mercenaries and the Chinese Communist Party. In March, in a massive diplomatic failure, our military was unceremoniously asked to leave Niger.
President Biden, ISIS-K is ramping up its terror. You must ramp up our response

Apr 10, 2024 | foxnews.com | Morgan Ortagus

Video NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! If I were to describe a president who, acting on a long held belief but purportedly responding to the American public’s war-weariness, orders the withdrawal of all American troops and leaving no residual force in a country besieged by diminished but resilient terror groups whose ambitions include attacks against the American homeland, you might assume I was referring to August 2021, but it also describes events from late 2011.
Israel should ignore Biden and finish the job in Rafah

Mar 30, 2024 | thehill.com | Morgan Ortagus |Gabriel Noronha

The last stand of Hamas could lie in the Gazan city of Rafah, where the terror group’s last four battalios remain. The only force stopping Israel from completing Hamas’s destruction is President Biden. Israel faces a dilemma: will it heed Joe Biden’s concerns about the military operation, or do the right thing and eliminate its nemesis?
Our national security requires forceful deterrence

Dec 12, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Morgan Ortagus

America’s adversaries are on the move. Houthi terrorists are attacking and hijacking commercial vessels. Venezuela may be set to invade and annex territory from Guyana. And the conflict in the Middle East continues to boil over into the Western world as Israel grapples with the fallout of Hamas’s brutal Oct. 7 terrorist attack on innocent civilians.
What the US must do to restart Israel-Saudi talks

Dec 6, 2023 | israelhayom.com | Morgan Ortagus

In the wake of Hamas' October 7th attacks, we're staring down some tough realities in the region. The fragile peace and growing connections between Israel and its Arab neighbors, particularly Saudi Arabia, has been derailed. This wasn't just another violent incident – it was a strategic play to disrupt the hard-won progress towards peace between Riyadh and Jerusalem. Now, the road back to peace talks looks tenuous at best, as the flood of propaganda from Hamas enrages the Arab street.
The West rewarded Iranian terrorism by dropping UN sanctions

Oct 20, 2023 | thehill.com | Morgan Ortagus |Gabriel Noronha

How are the U.S. and Europe punishing Iran for its advancing nuclear program and its involvement in Hamas’ slaughter of Israeli, European, and American citizens? They aren’t. In fact, on Wednesday, they just allowed the UN embargo on Iran’s purchase and sale of missiles and missile technology to expire. Rewarding Iran will not curb the regime’s belligerence or promote diplomacy, as Western leaders astonishingly claim.
