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 …
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 …

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.
