Victor Davis Hanson Wokeism also sought to defund the police, end cash bail, and empty the jails. George Soros and others poured millions into electing nihilist city and state prosecutors who simply did not enforce the law and let criminals out, often just hours after committing heinous crimes. Did the Left believe that criminals would […]
Victor Davis Hanson The hard-left revolution is running out of gas. We can tell that because the inherent anti-civilizational nature of wokism is beginning to devour the very architects of its creation. The Biden administration entered office in 2021 with a secure border—after four years of constant deep-state and left-wing efforts to stop the Trump
Victor Davis Hanson Call all this mere “political correctness” or “woke” nonsense. But these disconnects are in essence Maoism. They are dangerous lies that are promulgated by elites to further their own selfish agendas at the expense of the general public, who is to be shamed and ostracized as counterrevolutionaries. Note too that none of
Victor Davis Hanson There is a host of other lies that utopian progressives have constructed as orthodox “truths” in order to sabotage reality and ensure a particular code of behavior and thought.

All of Biden’s initiatives now poll below 50 percent. Biden himself struggles to poll above 40 percent. That is
Victor Davis Hanson Joe’s campaign handlers had three surrogate campaign messages: 1) Joe Biden was the old Joe Biden from the 1970s who was a “centrist Democrat” (He was not then nor is he now.). 2) He at least was not the left wing’s boogeyman Donald Trump (but rather a known plagiarist, prone to racist
Victor Davis Hanson In a much-heralded Washington Post column, David Ignatius recently called for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris not to run again. But to justify such a Draconian call, he first reviewed their tenures and concluded of Joe, “In sum, he has been a successful and effective president.” Consider the logic: the more successful
Victor Davis Hanson At that last dare, in the style of my dad, I began firing everyone over the next hour. José their patriarch? “You are fired.” Herlinda? “You’re fired too.” The boyfriend, “You’re out.” The daughter and son, ditto. I had turned from an unemployed Classical language Ph.D. failure into a stark raving madman
