May 19, 2024 ~ Victor Davis Hanson on how one of Biden's desperate re-election strategies is to charge Trump with bogus crimes to damage his reputation, bankrupt him and keep him in court instead of on the campaign trail: "Left-wing local, state, and federal prosecutors are tying Trump up in court on crimes that have never been seen before and will never be again after the election. All the cases are politically motivated, with many coordinated with the White House.
Even if Trump is not convicted by blue-state prosecutors, in blue-state courtrooms, in front of blue-state juries, he will lose critical campaigning time.
Trump may end up paying out $1 billion in legal fees and fines. At 76, the monotonous days in court are designed to destroy him financially, physically, and mentally.
Biden and his operatives know that, in the long term, they may have fatally damaged the American legal system with such judicial sabotage. But short-term, they hope to destroy Trump before the ballots are cast." [Biden, Loathsome Left, Politics, Victor Davis Hanson]
Mar 2, 2024 ~ Victor Davis Hanson, 'American Paralysis and Decline' Another insightful article by VDH. "We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies." We are unwilling to fix our worst problems because we don't have the stomach for what needs to be done. The flood of illegal immigration, the unsustainable national debt, rampant shoplifting and other crimes, the homeless, corrupt prosecutors who destroy political opponents on fake charges. Everyone knows we can't ignore these problems and survive but no one is willing to address them for fear of being called a 'racist' or other criticism.

Dec 11, 2023 ~ Victor Davis Hanson, 'How Were the Universities Lost?' In response to Israel being attacked by murdering, raping, beheading terrorists, "not a day goes by when a university professor or student group has not spouted antisemitic hatred. Often, they threaten and attack Jewish students, or engage in mass demonstrations calling for the extinction of Israel." How did this happen? They went all in on DIE after a BS 'systemic racism' narrative in response to George Floyd. They divided the student body into 'oppressors' and 'oppressed.' They dropped SATs and all other standards of merit greatly decreasing the collective IQ of people on campus while simultaneously branding Jews as 'privileged' along with whites. They increased the number of foreign students including from antisemitic middle eastern countries. [Anti-Semitism, College, CRT DIE Wokeness, Victor Davis Hanson]
Nov 5, 2023 ~ Victor Davis Hanson, 'Premodern Diversity Vs. Civilizational Unity' Going all the way back to Rome, its clear that when new diverse people integrate into the culture and values of the larger society, it works well. But when their culture and values oppose the larger society, there are big problems. "Nations can prosper with heterodox peoples -- but only if united by a single, inclusive culture as the American melting-pot once attested." But, "a multicultural society of diverse, unassimilated, and often rival tribes -- historically is a prescription for collective suicide." "Tribalism wrecks nations." Immigration must be measured, legal, meritocratic, and diverse. "The old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it." [Identity Politics, Illegal Immigration, Immigration, Victor Davis Hanson]

Jan 8, 2023 ~ VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: 'Are Universities Doomed?' To meet their new DIE goals, universities are scrapping merit at massively discriminating on race. Stanford only admitting 23% white.

Oct 2, 2022 ~ Victor Davis Hanson, "We blindly accept the faddish New Green Deal. We virtue signal about defunding the police. We merely shrug at open borders. And we brag about banning fertilizers and pesticides, outlawing the internal combustion engine, and discounting Armageddon in the nuclear age - as if on autopilot we have already reached utopia. But meanwhile Westerners are systematically destroying the very elements of our civilization that permitted such fantasies in the first place."
