Victor Davis Hanson: Iran’s Problems Are Just Getting Started
People have also mischaracterized the deal itself. This is not the end of the negotiations or the war. This is the very beginning of the problems for Iran. Once the kinetic part of the war stops, they have to face the people, and the people are angry, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

'FAKE' CHRISTIAN? Conservative Leader Calls Out SPLC's Incoming CEO | Brad Dacus
Brad Dacus, founder of the Pacific Justice Institute, joins the Daily Signal's Tyler O'Neil. Dacus is challenging Ryan Haygood, the incoming CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center, to a debate on whether PJI is a "hate group."

Victor Davis Hanson: America's Universities Are In Crisis

"When you say your racial identity is essential to who you are rather than incidental, then you've got the ingredients for tribal warfare." — Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Deal Can Work If We Hit Them Every Time They Break It
The media claims Trump is isolated and the midterms are lost, but they are ignoring the reality of a crippled Iran and a redrawn map of Middle Eastern alliances. By shifting from appeasement to strength, the administration has effectively shut out Russia and China while setting the stage for a massive drop in oil prices. This strategy doesn't just secure the Strait—it puts the MAGA movement in the

After years of alienating working-class voters, Democrats are suddenly trying to rebrand themselves as champions of Main Street with candidates like James Talarico and Graham Platner.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democracy Is Dying in California
California has transformed into a single-party monopoly where the legislative, executive, and judicial branches actively subvert the will of the voters. Through lax voting laws, ballot harvesting, and a lack of voter identification requirements, the state has institutionalized a system where early conservative leads are routinely erased weeks after Election Day.

June 6, 1944, was more than a beach landing. It was the opening blow that helped break Nazi Germany and secure American hegemony for decades to come.
We owe so much to the brave men who charged into gunfire that day, knowing quite well their last actions would be in defense of their country.

The global Left’s relentless obsession with condemning Israel completely vanishes when actual ethnic cleansing and brutal massacres occur across the rest of the world.

Victor Davis Hanson: Here’s What an Accurate DNC Autopsy Would Say
The Democratic National Committee’s now-released 2024 autopsy came with a few predictable omissions: the New Democrat Party agenda.
Why? Because the Jacobin wing of the party refuses to believe that’s why Democrats lost so decisively in 2024.

Left-wing candidates across the country are refusing to run on their actual records because they know the American people reject their failed policies.
