Victor Davis Hanson How many times since 2017 did we hear the cry, “25 Amendment!” to remove Donald Trump from office on grounds he was non compos mentis? Immediately upon taking office Foreign Policy ran an essay by Obamaite Rosa Brooks outlining a way to remove him through a) impeachment, b) the 25th Amendment, or […]

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.

Victor Davis Hanson What best characterizes an Orwellian or Soviet society? The silent, collective acceptance of the truth that never can be spoken, and the lies of the apparat that everyone else knows are not true. Think of some of the astounding truths that we simply ignore. Hillary Clinton We have spoken about Clinton before,

Victor Davis Hanson The party that once lectured America on its venerable Constitution and its affiliated protocols and demanded we live up to its ideals, now shuns them as reactionary. The Bill of Rights—not just the Second Amendment, but the First, Fourth and Fifth as well—are seen as obstacles to its own undeclared revolution. Likewise,

Victor Davis Hanson When the Democrats lose the House in November, several FBI investigations will reveal things we can scarcely imagine. Investigators will hone in on what transpired under the last four FBI directors: McCabe (lied four times to federal investigators and oversaw fake FISA warrants); Comey (leaked confidential memos of private presidential conversations, feigned
