The Mysteries of Long COVID
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness When the original strain of COVID-19 arrived in spring 2020, a pandemic soon swept the country. By far most survived COVID. But hundreds of thousands did not. American deaths now number well over 1 million. Amid the tragedy, there initially was some hope that the pernicious effects of the disease
The Strangest Thing About ‘Semi-Fascist’ Trump
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness For the Left, Donald Trump is synonymous with “fascism” (or “semi-fascism,” as Joe Biden put it the other day). And for Liz Cheney and most of the NeverTrumpers, he remains an existential threat to democracy. But to quantify those charges, what exactly has Trump done extralegally—as opposed to his bombast
Will the Republicans Really Win Back the Congress?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The late spring scenario of a massive GOP win—in historic proportions analogous to 1938, 1994, or 2010—is said now to be “iffy.” The Left boasts that it now has a chance at keeping the House, with even better odds for maintaining control over the Senate. Polls are all over the
The Worst and the Stupidest?

‘Civil War’ Porn
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness As Joe Biden’s polls stagnate and the midterms approach, we are now serially treated to yet another progressive melodrama about the dangers of a supposed impending radical right-wing violent takeover. This time the alleged threat is a Neanderthal desire for a “civil war.” The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Florida
Why Merrick Garland Is Losing the People
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday held a belated press conference to explain that he had personally approved the FBI’s raid of Donald Trump’s Florida residence to seize documents deemed U.S. government property. A clearly agitated and nervous Garland sought to exude confidence in the raid. He went on to heatedly defend
FBI, R.I.P.?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The FBI is dissolving before our eyes into a rogue security service akin to those in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. Take the FBI’s deliberately asymmetrical application of the law. This week the bureau surprise-raided the home of former President Donald Trump—an historical first. A massive phalanx of FBI
Nancy Pelosi’s Childlike Diplomacy Mirrors America’s Childlike Posture Toward China
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s sin was not in going to Taiwan per se. Rather, after announcing her destination, the California Democrat then sorta kinda hesitated in deer-in-the-headlights fashion under threat from the Chinese. So, by her back-and-forth media announcements, she added to the endemic strategic confusion at the White House and
