VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Can We Let The Voters Decide — Not The FBI, CIA, DOJ, Lawyers, Prosecutors And Judges?
When Donald Trump appeared to be gaining ground in the 2016 Republican primaries, Democrats concluded that they couldn’t expect Americans to choose “the right thing” while waiting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. What followed was eight years of extrajudicial efforts to neutralize Donald Trump, candidate, president, former president and candidate again. All these relentless efforts […]
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Our Brezhnev, Our Pravda, Our Soviet Union
Leonid Brezhnev led the former Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist Party until 1982. But like many Russian bureaucrats who struggled with excessive smoking, drinking and weight gain, he aged prematurely. And like many of them, his disability did not cause him to abdicate. In his late 60s and early 70s, Brezhnev’s growing […]

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The West Is Sick Of The New Woke Jihadism
What are the mobs in Washington defiling iconic federal statues with impunity and pelting policemen really protesting? What are the throngs in London brazenly swarming parks and rampaging in the streets really angry about? Occupations? They could care less that the Islamist Turkish government still stations 40,000 troops in occupied Cyprus. No one is protesting […]
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Myth That Biden Had Nothing To Do With The Prosecutions Of Trump
The five criminal and civil prosecutions of former President Donald Trump all prompt heated denials from Democrats that President Joe Biden and Democrat operatives had a role in any of them. But Biden has long let it be known that he was frustrated with his own Department of Justice’s federal prosecutors for their tardiness in […]
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Our Revolutionary Times
Sometimes unexpected and dramatic events strip away the thin covering of respectability and convention, exposing and negating long-existing but hitherto hidden pathologies. Events over the past three years, such as the destruction of our southern border, the October 7th massacre and subsequent war in Gaza, campus protests, the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, and the systematic […]
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Loose Talk About The End Of Everything
