The Left Were the Mad Scientists, We Were Their Lab Rats
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness As the midterms approach, one way of looking at America’s current disaster is that we, the American people, were lab rats. And since 2021, the Left were the mad scientists, eager to try out their crackpot leftist experiments on us. The result is that the housing market is tottering on… Continue reading The Left Were the Mad Scientists, We Were Their Lab Rats
How the Projectionist Game is Played. Part Two—Election Denialist!
Victor Davis Hanson Think of any recent leftwing accusation against the Right. Then automatically assume that it is evidence of the accuser’s own culpability for the very charge he levels against others. In other words, the Left projects upon its opponents exactly what it fears is most incriminating among its own ranks. As a general… Continue reading How the Projectionist Game is Played. Part Two—Election Denialist!
How the Projectionist Game is Played. Part One—“Racist!”
Victor Davis Hanson Almost anything or anyone the Left opposes is smeared as racist or a racist. And the rules are made only by the Left. The N-word is utterly racist. Yet it continues and obviously gains currency when rappers and comedians use it promiscuously on the assumptions that leftists and blacks cannot be racist… Continue reading How the Projectionist Game is Played. Part One—“Racist!”
Permissible and Impermissible Incendiary Speech?
United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit the airwaves to connect the recent assault on Paul Pelosi with “fascism” and “white nationalism.” She insists that both are now ubiquitous.

The old Democrats have faded away after being overwhelmed by radicals and socialists. Moderates who once embraced Bill Clinton’s opportunistic “third way” are now either irrelevant or nonexistent. Once considered too… Continue reading The Switcheroos of the Two Parties
January 6th Versus the Durham Revelations. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson There are now two concurrent Washington, D.C.-area dramas. One is the last gasp of the politically motivated January 6th Committee hearings.

Victor Davis Hanson 3) Did Biden faithfully execute the laws of the land as he had sworn to upon Inauguration Day? More specifically, did Biden enforce existing federal immigration law and thus prosecute those who swarmed illegally across the U.S. border, and then further in illegal fashion resided with impunity in the U.S.? Or did… Continue reading What Now Exactly Are Impeachable Offenses? Part Two
Will ‘Democracy Die in Darkness’ After November?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Republicans were always going to win big in November, regardless of what biased pundits professed. There was likely never a sudden “blue resurgence” or “red collapse” of late summer. Those fantasies were mostly Democratic Party talking points. They were readily regurgitated by the fusion media and biased pollsters. The… Continue reading Will ‘Democracy Die in Darkness’ After November?
