Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The entire 2019-20 Biden candidacy and subsequent presidency were predicated on a rotten Faustian bargain. A hale Joe Biden would feign his aw-shucks, Joe from Scranton schtick. And an ossified working-class Joe’s camouflage would get the hard left elected—especially thanks to the changes in balloting laws that often saw only… Continue reading Bidengate and the Doom Loop
The Lies We Have Lived Through
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness After last Thursday’s debate, Biden himself laid to rest the Democratic lie that he was robust and in control of his faculties. In truth, he demonstrated to the nation that he is a sad, failing octogenarian who could not perform any job in America other than apparently the easy task… Continue reading The Lies We Have Lived Through
Stop the Ukrainian Meatgrinder?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Nearly eleven months ago, in August 2023, the New York Times reported that U.S. officials had estimated that some 500,000 Russians and Ukrainians had been killed, wounded, or missing in the then 18-month Ukrainian War. Both Russia and Ukraine underreport their losses. Hundreds of thousands of additional casualties have followed… Continue reading Stop the Ukrainian Meatgrinder?
The Logic in All the Madness
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Most Americans believe it is unhinged to deliberately destroy the border and allow 10 million illegal aliens to enter the country without background audits, means of support, any claims to legal residency, and definable skills. And worse still, why would federal authorities be ordered to release repeat violent felons who… Continue reading The Logic in All the Madness
The Left Knows Leftism Doesn’t Work
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Do not expect the radical left to survey the wreckage of socialism and communism in history and accept that statism impoverishes people and erodes their freedoms. There will never be admissions by our elite that progressivism exists mainly for the acquisition of power by the utopian and virtue-signaling few, who… Continue reading The Left Knows Leftism Doesn’t Work
The Myth That Biden Had Nothing to Do with the Prosecutions of Trump
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The five criminal and civil prosecutions of Donald Trump all prompt heated denials from Democrats that President Biden and Democrat operatives had a role in any of them. But Joe Biden has long let it be known that he was frustrated with his own Department of Justice’s federal prosecutors for… Continue reading The Myth That Biden Had Nothing to Do with the Prosecutions of Trump
The Biden Reelection Strategy
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Joe Biden polls at or below 40 percent approval. Historically, such unpopularity has made it almost impossible for a president to be reelected. His age advances by the hour. His voice falters, his memory fades, and his gait is reduced to short steps, with his arms, winglike and in tandem,… Continue reading The Biden Reelection Strategy
The Travesties of the Trump Trials
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Do not believe the White House/mainstream media-concocted narrative that the four criminal court cases—prosecuted by Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis—were not in part coordinated, synchronized, and timed to reach their courtroom psychodramatic finales right during the 2024 campaign season. These local, state, and federal Lilliputian agendas… Continue reading The Travesties of the Trump Trials
War By Affirmative Action?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Why does Biden play Iranian poker with American and Israeli lives? Answer? He envisions war sort of like affirmative action, in which the less accomplished belligerent is allowed all sorts of concessions for the sake of equity. Israeli and American military capability, and particularly their missile defenses, are seen as… Continue reading War By Affirmative Action?
Is The Great Illusion In Ruins?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness In 2021, Joe Biden was elected after a bitterly fought campaign that deposed the incumbent Donald Trump. Democrats eventually captured, for a time, both the House and Senate, ensuring the most left-wing government in modern American history. Americans were then set to witness a great experiment. For the first time… Continue reading Is The Great Illusion In Ruins?
