Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Who has most peddled conspiracy allegations the last nine years—all of them false and nearly all of them influencing national elections and public policies? Once a target is constructed as Hitlerian, almost any means necessary to quash that perceived existential threat become justified. And we have seen a lot of… Continue reading A Decade of Conspiracists?
Can We Let the Voters Decide—Not the FBI, CIA, DOJ, Lawyers, Prosecutors, and Judges?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton. What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to neuter… Continue reading Can We Let the Voters Decide—Not the FBI, CIA, DOJ, Lawyers, Prosecutors, and Judges?
The Biden Titanic
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Joe Biden’s escalating dementia and the long media-political conspiracy to hide his senility from the public are the least of the Democrats’ current problems. Biden’s track record as president may be more concerning than his cognitive decline. He has literally destroyed the U.S. border, deliberately allowing the entry of more… Continue reading The Biden Titanic
Our Brezhnev, Our Pravda, Our Soviet Union. . .
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Leonid Brezhnev led the former Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist Party until 1982. But like most Russian apparatchiks who excessively smoked, drank, and gained weight, he aged prematurely. Also like them, his disabilities never led to his abdication. By Brezhnev’s late sixties and early seventies, he was too… Continue reading Our Brezhnev, Our Pravda, Our Soviet Union. . .
Bidengate and the Doom Loop
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
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
How Left-wing Conspiracies Work
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing conspiracies—beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and paranoia to serve precise political agendas. We now know that the conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax—Donald Trump allegedly conniving with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote—was… Continue reading How Left-wing Conspiracies Work
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
