Carl Higbie’s blunt assessment on Newsmax hit a nerve with patriots who’ve watched our leaders fumble foreign policy for years: the common denominator in too many of these senseless tragedies is violent Islamic extremism, and Washington’s soft approach has invited more bloodshed. Higbie, a Newsmax host and former Navy SEAL, told viewers it’s time to stop pretending containment is sufficient and start acting with the force and clarity only a serious strategy can provide.
Hardworking Americans understand what weak leadership looks like — muddled talking points, talk of “containment,” and no follow-through while terror groups regroup and metastasize. The argument that we must “contain” rather than destroy ISIS and its affiliates has repeatedly failed; experts note the group’s ability to relocate, inspire lone-wolf attacks, and exploit lawless regions when we don’t finish the job. If we’re honest, the evidence shows that half-measures only postpone the next atrocity.
This isn’t about bigotry or fearmongering; it’s about confronting an ideology that has declared war on innocents and on our way of life. Our commanders and policymakers must be given the tools — intelligence, decisive airpower, and where necessary, calibrated ground options — to dismantle terror networks before they can seed new attacks at home or abroad. The alternative is a perpetual cycle of tragedy that conservative voters are tired of watching from the sidelines while elites offer empty condolences.
Americans also deserve leadership that can build and hold broad coalitions to choke off funding, safe havens, and recruitment pipelines for these killers. History shows that when the international community and regional partners pull in opposite directions, groups like ISIS exploit the gaps; we should demand partners step up and stop pretending rhetoric is a strategy. If the United States is willing to lead, with clear rules and robust deconfliction, we can crush these networks — but only if we stop letting partisan politics and cultural cowardice handcuff our military.
This moment calls for voters who back leaders with the backbone to defend American lives and values, not those who cower behind virtue-signaling and open-borders rhetoric. Support our troops, demand honest plans from representatives, and reject any policy that treats terrorism as a problem you can wish away with press releases. Patriots know what must be done: get serious, hit the enemy hard where it lives, and secure the homeland so our children can sleep at night.
