SCOTUS has more pressing things to rule on like how many weeks is it ok to have an abortion and the rights of ILLEGAL aliens.

When you really need the SCrOTUS to step in, they are not there.

Maybe we can outlaw the laws.

These cases have shown beyond any doubt that everything I was taught in Law School was pure unadulterated BS. Obviously corrupt federal agencies, prosecutors and judges openly violating the Constitution. Doing so for obviously political reasons. Judges and prosecutors with clear conflicts of interest and in the case of judges issuing rulings that were comically partisan. Federal agencies and prosecutors engaging in obviously selective prosecution refusing to prosecute numerous cases of leftists having done the exact same things.

This is President Trump's forte.

He is Toto in The Wizard of Oz, pulling aside the curtain so we can see the greasy criminals running the rigged and corrupt American system.

God love him.

Early on VDH was a Stanford never-Trumper stooge. He quickly saw the light after Trump was elected President.

When all else fails, they will kill him.

And after a week or so of victory dance, shift gears to denouncing conspiracy theories about the killing.

The left will face earnest prosecution, if Trump wins in 2024.


I seriously doubt it. Where will they be prosecuted? NYC, DC, Atlanta, Delaware?

Did u watch it

He was wrong a few times

He claimed mayors in red states don’t tolerate nonsense like in blue states

Bullshit

In Memphis and Nashville they sure do

I always watch him he’s very erudite

But not always right

Yes, when the American People need the Supreme Court as desperately as ever in history, the justices prove feckless, incompetent, and paralysed by the lack courage and moral and intellectual clarity.

It is as if the left is afraid of losing momentum in their little communist revolution. I think they will do anything to stop Trump.

I have no doubt - after seeing these insane lawfare attacks - that these people will also allow voter fraud from their base.

Enemies like China and Russia now boast that America’s new political prosecutions are similar to their own systems, or even more egregious, and will welcome us into their own customs of bastardized justice.

One more reason to elect Trump ... this election really is about saving the country.

I watched this “John Anderson interviews VDH” last night, sounds like it could be the same one:

“The Presidential Election, Failing Higher Education and The End of Everything | Victor Davis Hanson”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZotHFDHwwFU

VDH reminds me of what the late Larry Auster said regarding Dennis Prager- “a confused liberal”. A common affliction of the neoconservative; they want big government interfering with personal liberty when it does something that they like, such as LBJ’s civil rights act. But then they are surprised when that same power that they have granted big government is used to destructive ends as in DEI and affirmitive action.

It’s been a very long time since conservative meant limiting the power and reach of big government. Now it often means conserving the latest advances of bipartisan liberals against the more vicious plans of progressives and socialists.

Too true. Even at this late date Hanson has yet to accept the 2020 election was stolen. I'm thinking someone will have to treat him like a bad puppy and rub his nose in it.

The editors at Chronicles have long had VDH pegged. Neocons are on your side until they aren’t. VDH isn’t Bill Kristol bad, but like the rest he’s anti-paleo at his core. And paleo is where MAGA originated in the 1990s, with the writing of Sam Francis and Pat Buchanan.
