Victor Davis Hanson In their limited self-reflection, the Left keeps looking for reasons why they have lost the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court—and both the Electoral College and popular vote.

Various polls show historical lows of public support for the Democratic Party, ranging from 31 to 41 percent approval. Yet at the same time during a recent Democrat leadership conference, various panelists unanimously claimed that racism and sexism alone accounted for the defeat of Kamala Harris. Do they think, then, that white male Joe Biden

Now we come to Dr. Anthony Fauci. For some 38 years, he ran the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) as his private fiefdom.

Victor Davis Hanson Media Yes, the Left controls the Media. But the times they are changing. The biased news network triad of ABC, NBC, and CBS, along with PBS and the cable MSNBC, CNN, and CNBC news channels, may garner over 20 million nightly network viewers.
