Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness
Now that the four-and-a-half-month-long Ukraine impeachment bookend to the 22-month Mueller charade is over, it clearly accomplished nothing other than substantially raising the polls of both Donald Trump and the Republican Party. The public was reminded that Representative Gerald Nadler (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are every bit as childish, peevish, and absurd as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
So, we are now back to the existential issue of the entire Trump phenomenon: to what degree did the Hillary Clinton campaign collude with high-ranking Obama officials, and the top echelons of the FBI, CIA, and the national intelligence apparatus, to surveil, defame, and hope to derail Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign by unlawful means?
Who in the federal government then continued Clinton’s efforts after the 2016 election to disrupt and indeed attempt to destroy the Trump transition and presidency?
Eventually, someone will sort out whether that post-election effort on the part of federal officials to abort the Trump presidency, abetted by the media and #TheResistance, was a simple follow-up to the Clinton-DNC-Perkins Coe-Fusion GPS collusion against candidate Trump—or a sick preemptive attempt of the administrative state to smear Trump as a “Russian asset” because of their worries about the exposure of their own prior criminality and Trump’s iconoclastic agenda.

Over and over the Democrats prove they are the party of negative emotions. Instead of learning from their mistakes, and moving on to seek new paths to their goals they fail. The inability of this group of political misfits to correctly evaluate their actions, or the results of their policies tell me they have no real goals or targets that benefit the nation. Their only aim is to try and regain power, what they will do with it is pretty obvious, they will continue to make the same old promises and drive to reinstate policies that already proved deleterious to the nations welfare. High taxes,bigger government, more invasive regulations. Insanity, classic insanity.
The question for me is when and how will Trump's base show it's the total rejection of the non-stop harassment of the President? This appears challenging when tbe media is so biased. Most say, "re-elect Trump and take back he House". Yes, but how can the outright lies and smears be answered if there is no way to communicate with ignorant or undecided voters? This is NOT a level playing field.
I am wondering if you know much about your ancestors. My name is Milton DAVIS May. Three Davis brothers came to the States about 1695--John, Ben and Evan. My line is from Ben. Would appreciate your response. I really enjoy your contributions to Fox News.
In paragraph five, you could very well have listed the closure of the Russian Consulate in California. This is also a good illustration of actions taken against Russia; incompatible actions to collusion theory
