Victor Davis Hanson: After Trump-Putin Summit, Where Does War Go From Here?
Victor Davis Hanson explains what was (and wasn’t) said at the summit, why Russia is appealing directly to Trump and the American people, and how Trump—whether the Left likes it or not—could end this war he didn’t start on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Ukraine will not be in NATO. They don’t have the military wherewithal. They have the moral edge and the moral right—but they don’t have the military wherewithal. Nor does Europe or the United States want to go to that length to give it to them against nuclear Russia to reclaim the Donbas—all of the Donbas—or Crimea. “ The summit was about what we could expect. Putin wants to win over America so then America will back off from Ukraine, and so it can get some more mileage westward and further deteriorate or erode or detrite the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian military is pretty tough. It’s hanging in there. It wants enough aid to leverage Putin. And between those two poles, there will be a DMZ. And if there is a peace settlement, it will be the work—whether the Left likes it or not—of Donald Trump, the one world leader, among the three, that has nothing to do with this war.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

The Daily Signal Presents "Problematic Women" - Trump Shocks DC Streets While Taylor Swift Shocks the Podcast-sphere | Emily Jashinsky
bonusPresident Donald Trump cracked down on crime in the nation’s capital this week. On Monday, he declared a state of emergency in Washington, D.C., through an executive order, temporarily placing the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control. He also deployed more than 800 National Guard troops, resulting in over 100 arrests so far. Trump’s move has us wondering: Has it always been this easy to clean up our city? We break it all down on today’s episode of “Problematic Women," and share some of our own wild encounters with crime in D.C. This week wasn’t just heavy on politics—it was packed with pop culture wins. Taylor Swift made her podcast debut on “New Heights,” hosted by NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, crashing the livestream in the process. One segment in particular has us buzzing about the political implications of the “trad” trend, and if Swift could destigmatize that. Meanwhile, Demi Lovato surprised fans by joining the Jonas Brothers on tour—an epic Camp Rock reunion. More than that, her appearance exemplified what being clean from the woke-mind virus looks like. Not long ago, she was a short-haired feminist using they/them pronouns and battling addiction. Today, she’s a healthy, happy, straight newlywed—back on stage and performing at her best. We’re joined by Emily Jashinsky, D.C. correspondent for UnHerd news site, host of “After Party with Emily Jashinsky,” a new podcast from the Megyn Kelly podcast network, and pop culture aficionado. She shares her take on Trump’s crime crackdown and gives her unfiltered thoughts on these big pop culture moments.

The Daily Signal Presents “The “Signal Sitdown - How Modernity Betrayed Education | Dr. Matthew Spalding
bonusShould I even send my kids back to school at all? Parents at every level are asking this question, whether they're concerned about the exploding cost of higher education or the liberal takeover of the preschool classroom, because there is a disease running rampant through our education system. Though Dr. Matthew Spalding, a Ph.D., is not a medical doctor, he has diagnosed this disease that has led to more parents questioning America’s educational institutions. As the dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College’s Washington, D.C., campus and a Gov. Ron DeSantis appointee to the New College of Florida Board of Trustees, Spalding continues to work on a cure. He joins “The Signal Sitdown” this week to discuss.

Victor Davis Hanson: Yes, a California University’s President Said He Wanted to ‘Eliminate Whiteness’
Victor Davis Hanson revisits some points he made and reiterates that the real issue is the danger of racially divisive language coming from the leader of a major public university in California on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Dr. Luke Wood—I think his full name is Jonathan Wood. Jonathan Luke Wood is upset because he gave an interview in which—and it was not sliced and diced. There's a long segment of 30 seconds or so. And you can see it, that segment has not been edited, when he says he wants to “eliminate whiteness.” The problem is that he's on record saying it. It resurfaced. People saw it. And it spread like wildfire over the internet. Hence, my attention to it and my discourse to you about it. But I can't help it if Dr. Wood has said things in his past that seem to be racialist and divisive. … And yet, nevertheless, he suggests that he's not responsible, I guess, for saying what he did because he said it in 2017 and it's been reappearing, most recently, in clips. ” 🫵 The Daily Signal is funded by readers like you.

Victor Davis Hanson: Could Trump End War in Ukraine During Tomorrow’s Meeting With Putin?
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Will this summit move the world toward peace or harden the deadlock? Hanson lays out why the Biden administration has avoided such meetings, why the “Putin puppet” narrative has gone silent, and what Trump’s high-stakes negotiating strategy could mean for the war’s endgame on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “We’re gonna have this summit. And Trump is going to say to Putin, ‘You can have no NATO Ukraine. You can have the Crimea. You can have the Donbas. I think I can get Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people to agree. But we’ve gotta fight over how far west you are and whether you have to go back or will stay in place.’ And then he’s going to have to tell Zelenskyy, ‘We’re supplying you. That’s the only leverage we have against Putin, along with a secondary boycott. But you have to decide whether you’re going to cede the Donbas, Crimea, and some of the territory. Because if you don’t, there’s not going to be a peace. And if there’s not going to be a peace, we can’t assure you a blank check forever.’” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left’s Anger is Proof Trump’s Counterrevolution Is Working
Not only is Trump succeeding, he is exceeding expectations as well. But the Left is not going down without a fight. Victor Davis Hanson explains the challenges being poised against Trump’s counterrevolution, and what he believes are the next steps on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The symptoms of the progressive project are not just the Democrats exercising power in Congress or holding the White House, it's how they get that power. And they get that power through PBS and NPR, now defunded; cable news and slanted network news, now under assault when they lie and defame and face court ramifications. “ The majority of the American people oppose [Democrats’] agenda. And they do this through the bureaucracies, through the media, through the universities, through the popular culture. And these are the very sources that Donald Trump is asking them to reform. And the government is going to shrink. The government's gonna get out of the media business. The government's gonna take a hard look at universities, who want and obtain federal funds.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

‘I Told You So’ Starts Here: Criminal Investigations Into High School-Assisted Abortions, Jan. 6 Truth, and More
bonus“I told you so starts here” Over the past 200 days (the first 200 of the second Trump term) many details have come to light that confirmed things that for years had been dismissed as “conspiracy theories.” Just this week, details that show that the FBI, under Trump’s own AG, Jeff Sessions, had whistleblower testimony that they failed to follow up on regarding classified document leaks from then-Congressman Adam Schiff that were leaked to trigger embarrassing investigations into the President in time to impact the 2018 mid-term elections. Also this week, the Capitol Police Chief finally spoke out and confirmed that the President had asked for the National Guard be deployed to the Capitol building on January third. Three days before the deadly riots. Stories like this come from courageous independent investigative reporters like John Soloman at ‘justthenews.com’ our guest, Walter Curt of ‘WCdispatch.com’ who shares with us two stories. The first is of two teenage girls who allege that they were taken to get abortions by Fairfax County school officials without alerting their parents. Just now, we are learning that Governor Youngkin has announced that he is “directing the Virginia State police bureau of criminal investigation to open a full criminal investigation.” The second regards a group of former US intelligence officers that call themselves “the Steady State” who have endorsed their former co-worker in the intelligence field, Abigail Spanberger, for Virginia Governor.

What Gives Trump the Right ...?
bonus“What Gives Him the Right?” President Trump has temporarily federalized the Washington DC police and sent in ICE agents and National Guard troops to “pursue and arrest every violent criminal in the district who breaks the law, undermines public safety and endangers law-abiding Americans,” according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The move was welcomed by the DC police union chief who said that the union “supports the President’s announcement this morning to assume temporary control of the MPD in response to the escalating crime crisis in Washington, DC.” However, Mayor Muriel Bowser made this cryptic statement: "unsettling and unprecedented." "My message to residents is this: We know that access to our democracy is tenuous," The Daily Signal spoke with former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli about the President’s actions and the repercussions.

VDH: Democrats Betray Democracy to Stop Trump
Democrats have pushed some of the most brazen political scandals in modern history—from the Russia collusion hoax, to burying the Hunter Biden laptop, to hiding President Biden’s cognitive decline—all in the name of stopping Trump. Victor Davis Hanson exposes how the Left has undermined democracy in the very process of claiming to defend it on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The problem, James Carville and Democrats, is that you have sabotaged democracy. And you’ve done things that no one has ever done before to an oppositional candidate, presidential transition, and president. And now you’re furious because you’re on the 40% side of every issue that’s dear to you—from the trans issue to the border issue, to the crime issue, to the Green New Deal issue, to foreign policy. And you have no political power. You don’t have the White House, you don’t have the Congress, you don’t have the Supreme Court. And your institutional power—the media, academia, the foundation—they are under assault.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

VDH | Revisionists Get It Wrong: Why the Atomic Bombings Ended WWII
Hanson breaks down the facts and challenges these misconceptions on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Did it save lives? It did. And it did in a variety of ways. Of all the belligerents in World War II, the Japanese army, military, government—whatever term we use—killed more civilians and soldiers versus the amount of soldiers and civilians that lost than any other belligerent. More than the Russians. More than the Germans. In other words, it was a deadly killing machine that averaged 10,000 deaths a day at its hands. How else could you stop it? “ Had they not dropped the bomb, the fire raids would’ve continued, but not three or four times a week, every single day, from Okinawa. And not with 1,000-2,000 heavy bombers, but with an envisioned 5,000-6,000. That led Curtis LeMay to say, "The bomb wasn’t necessary. We could have burned Japan to the ground and forced its surrender." Much more people would’ve died had that entailed. And so, what did the bomb do? It stopped this Japanese war machine from killing people.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

VDH: The DEI Scam is Falling Apart, and Trump Broke It.
Why are even black and Hispanic Americans rejecting it? What does Trump get right that DEI advocates can’t answer? And how did elites like Elizabeth Warren and Zohran Mamdani game the system? Victor Davis Hanson answers these questions and explains how DEI’s unravelling will pan out on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ It predicates hiring, retention, promotion, tenure on the color of your skin and not the content of your character, or your gender or your sexual orientation. And so, it's a winning issue for Donald Trump, when you look at the polls. It's not just that 60% of so-called white people, who often feel they're victimized by DEI are opposed, but Hispanics and blacks also poll that they are against it. And people—that's baffled people. But it's kind of obvious when you think about it. It's commonsensical. “DEI was based on poverty and past documented racism. … Mr. Mamdani says he's a minority and he is black, and he needs special preference. He also said he was gonna go after “white or affluent neighborhoods.” He's Indian American. His family originally came from India. Indian Americans, according to our census, are the wealthiest, most privileged ethnic group in America.So, what I'm getting at is your skin color no longer can be correlated, exactly, with your class.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

DOJ Investigates Realtor Blacklisting: A Virginia Free Speech Showdown

What happened next reads like the script for a Daniel Craig movie as agents for his opponents found a social media post from years before in which he reposted a Biblical passage, Leviticus 20:13, that had been shared with him by Franklin Graham. Not only was the passage used to rally opposition to his run for public office, after that election was completed they shared the passage with his business association, the National Association of Realtors in an effort to have him expelled from the organization and prohibiting him access to the real estate listings he would use to help his clients find a home. Two weeks ago the National and Virginia Association of Realtors reversed their original determination against Mr. Fauber and changed their code of ethics to only regulate speech used during a realtor conducting of real estate business. Then, on Tuesday HJuly 29th Mr Fauber’s legal team from the Founding Freedoms Law Center, a division of Virginia’s Family Foundation, announced that the Department of Justice had opened an investigation into the Conduct of both organizations. We sit down with Mychael Sylvester, on e of Mr. Fauber’s lawyer from the Founding Freedoms Law Center to catch up of this attempt to ruin a person’s life simply because you disagree with them.

VDH: Is Fed Chair Jerome Powell Fighting Inflation—Or Trump?
Victor Davis Hanson explains the long-running tensions between Jerome Powell and Trump, why Trump has dubbed him “Too Late Powell,” and the economic consequences for everyday Americans on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The Wall Street Journal was forecasting a ‘stock crash,’ a ‘trade war,’ ‘uncertainty over tariffs,’ ‘anemic GDP,’ and all of the barometers… At that point, you would've thought that Powell, who agreed, basically, with the consensus of the economic media and most of the economists, why didn't he intervene in fears that they were right, that we were headed toward a recession and lower rates? Instead, he didn't do anything. “ Jerome Powell has been in this fight with Donald Trump. … And whether we like it or not, he's acting emotionally or angrily to Donald Trump. And he has been under threat of being fired. He does not want to show that he's going to back down and lose the independence of the Fed to the president. The problem with that stance is it really hurts millions of Americans.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Chinese Communist Party-Linked Exec Donated $50K to Spanberger Campaign
bonusWednesday morning Alana Goodman of the Washington Free Beacon reported that a gentleman named Pin Ni, who is a US-based executive with luxury electric car maker KARMA Automotive gave $50,000 over two contributions to the gubernatorial campaign of former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger. Ni, more troubling, listed as a member of the Chinese Communist Party. US Election law prohibits campaign contributions from foreign nationals, and the Chinese government insists that you renounce your Citizenship in order to qualify for US dual citizenship. So, one or the other must be true. For Spanberger, a big contribution from an Electric Vehicle manufacturer that would certainly have an interest in making sure that the Virginia Clean Economy Act doesn’t get change or go away is problematic. Doubly ironic given the amount of angst that was expressed by the Democratic party leadership in 2021 about Glenn Youngkin’s extensive business ties having been CEO of the Carlyse Group before being elected Governor. However, that isn’t nearly the crime that accepting a political donation from a foreign national would be. The Beacon story says that Ni sits on the board of directors for the Wanxiang Group, which he founded in 1994. The company’s 2025 annual report says that Ni had "been recognized" as an "Outstanding Communist Party Member of the Group" 15 times. Spanberger needs to address this but without any debates scheduled, Earle-Sears may not get a direct chance so it’s up to the Virginia press corps. Before the story came out the Daily Signal spoke with Republican Party of Virginia Chair, State Senator Mark Peake about President Trump’s statements regarding endorsing Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in her race against Spanberger and her unwillingness to debate and that is the podcast you are about to listen to. After seeing the story, he told us; “It doesn’t surprise me that Chinese communists want Spanberger to win. I am sure they have reviewed her voting record in Congress and prefer her to a true, conservative patriot like Winsome Sears.” Keep Up With The Daily Signal Sign up for our email newsletters: https://www.dailysignal.com/email Subscribe to our other shows: The Tony Kinnett Cast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AFk8xjiOOBEynVg3JiN6g The Signal Sitdown: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376 Problematic Women: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL7765680741 Victor Davis Hanson: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327 Follow The Daily Signal: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/ Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.

VDH: California University’s New President Vows to ‘Eliminate Whiteness’
Victor Davis Hanson explains what this rhetoric really means, and why this racialized framing is not only intellectually hollow, but deeply dangerous for a pluralistic and Western democratic society on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “He believed that black students on test scores or GPA or by traditional criteria were not competitive with other groups … and therefore, you had to have a different type of vocabulary, a different type of approach for black students, in a way you wouldn’t for other students. This is not gonna work. We have tried that for 50 or 60 years. And we’ve seen that the Great Society specialization and fixation on race did not work. “This is in the age of post-DEI, in a very reactionary, retrograde approach, that you’re going to single out particular groups and you’re going to emphasize particular plans, programs based on the color of their skin at a time when we’re all trying to transcend it because when we have done that, it didn’t work. It created tensions rather than alleviated them. It created suspicion and distrust rather than ending such things. It’s a retrograde tribal thought that goes back to pre-civilizational ideas. 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

VDH: Trump, Conservatives Are Faced With ‘Unknown Frontiers.’ Are We Ready To Face Them?
Just like Captain Kirk ventured into uncharted space, America is now stepping into political and economic territory no one thought possible. We’ve been told these ideas were impossible. But now, by doing what the Right has promised for decades, America is breaking every “rule” the expert class clings to. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down what this means for the Trump administration conservative movement on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ On the budget, on the economy, on the universities, on the border—and I could apply this as well to the radical changes in military recruitment, in DEI—no one has ever said, ‘We're going to actually do what conservatives and Republicans have promised for a half-century.’ And when you do that, and you actually carry through your promises, you're in unknown territory. “ 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

VDH: The Left Doesn’t Hate Sydney Sweeney’s Jeans. They Hate Beauty.
On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the absurdity of the outrage and exposes the real history of eugenics—hint: it doesn’t come from the Right. “ We have all sorts of models that pose for jean commercials. American Eagle have had black women, people, Hispanics, everybody. And do you remember the ad by Levi's for Beyonce? Levi's has her portrayed with a cowboy hat, a yellow wig, and in a country-western setting with Levi jeans. … Nobody objected, nobody said, ‘Beyonce is objectifying whiteness because, as an African American, she's got a blond wig on.’” “ A final warning or a piece of advice from Aristotle: We act to beauty by proportion and mathematics. As I said, Beyonce is beautiful, not because she's black or not because she's not white, or Sydney Sweeney is beautiful, not because of her skin color, but because she has, as Aristotle would say, perfect symmetry.

The Daily Signal Presents "Problematic Women" - Sex Ed, Sydney Sweeney, and the Big Lies Feminism Sells | Feat. March for Life President
Culture matters. We see it in the response to the new American Eagle ads featuring actress Sydney Sweeney and the Dunkin' Donuts commercial starring Gavin Casalegno. And we see it in the way Americans think and talk about abortion and having children. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” March for Life President Jennie Bradley Lichter joins the show to discuss where American sentiment on abortion stands, and how the pro-life movement is effectively working to save the unborn even as chemical abortions have become the most popular form of abortion in the U.S. Lichter also discusses her work during the first Trump administration and answers the question: can women have it all? Plus, former Vice President Kamala Harris is coming out with a book on her 107 day presidential campaign. Should be a fun read! We react to the news.

The Daily Signal Presents "The Signal Sitdown" - The Man Who Laid the Groundwork for the Rise of Trump and the Death of the Media | Larry O’Connor
bonusSubscribe to The Signal Sitdown wherever you get your podcasts: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376 It’s Andrew Breitbart’s world, we’re all just living in it. Tragically, Breitbart himself is not. He died suddenly on March 1, 2012 at just 43 years of age. In his life, Breitbart was always a pioneer, pushing media and politics to the edges of the map only to open a completely new frontier. There’s something fitting to him exploring the frontier of eternity just a little before the rest of us in his earthly death. Breitbart spent most of his career at the confluence of Hollywood, media, and politics. He was one of the first men on the right to clearly see the complete picture. “Celebrity is everything in this country,” Breitbart once said. “Media is everything. It's everything.” After listening to a radio interview with Breitbart, Larry O’Connor, then a show manager for Broadway productions, contacted Breitbart and wanted to write for his blog Big Hollywood. O’Connor found Breitbart, but Breitbart also found O’Connor. Now a radio host with Washington, D.C.’s WMAL, probably the most influential political radio station in the country, and author of a new book titled “Shameless Liars,” O’Connor joined "The Signal Sitdown" to discuss how Andrew Breitbart saw the rise of Trump, and the efforts to take him down like the Russiagate hoax, coming.

Victor Davis Hanson: Experts Were Wrong. The Economy’s Strong—But the Fed Won’t Budge.
So why are media outlets still talking down the economy? And why is Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell refusing to cut interest rates, despite earlier recession warnings that never materialized? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Remember that The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, and our main media organs all told us in May when Donald Trump was talking about art of the deal tariffs, … we were going to have high inflation, stagflation, bad job growth, static GDP, and a trade war along with a Wall Street collapse, basically a recession. Well, wall Street stock prices are at historical highs. Every one of those predictions was wrong. “If [Powell] is worried about a trade war, and tariffs and soft job growth, which was predictive but didn't happen, why don't you lower interest rates? And the fact is that if you look at the interest rates that he did cut right before the 2024 election and his all over the map, attitude toward interest rates today, there is no logic because if he's worried that the economy inflation might— it's gone up one 10th of an point and it's steaming and then he's going to what? Keep interest rates that high?” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Can the EPA Help Undo Virginia's Climate Mandates?
bonusThis week EPA administrator Lee Zeldin began the process of negating the 2009 “Endangerment Finding” that was, as President Obama called it, the ‘Holy Grail of Climate Change Regulation.’ This was where the idea that the very byproduct of Human existence, Carbon Dioxide, could be regulated as a pollutant. So, here in Viginia we have the Virginia Clean Economy Act that was passed in 2020 by the Democrat-majority General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Ralph Northam. If you have heard about “California-ing Virginia,” this is the act that did that. Connecting Virginia’s environmental regulations to California’s including getting to “net zero” carbon emissions by 2030. This law also put a stop to new electric generating facilities being built to replace retiring ones despite the demand skyrocketing. What does the EPA’s action mean for this law? Can it be repealed? Overturned in court? We sit down with analyst for the Thomas Jefferson Institute Steve Haner to find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Victor Davis Hanson: The Democrats Are Addicted to Losing
On this week’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the party’s post-2024 election autopsy and explains why they’re doomed to fail if they continue on their trajectory. “ After the defeat of Kamala Harris in November 2024, the Democrats decided recently to run an autopsy, a discovery, so to speak, of why they lost that election. These autopsies are not uncommon for the losing political party, but they only tend to work if you're honest and you try to analyze every considerable factor or criterion without censorship or without fear. “ They didn't have issues and policies that reflected their core values, but would also appeal to the middle class. … They don't want to talk about the middle class because their policies—open borders, The Green New Deal, Critical Race Theory, Critical Legal Theory, defund the police—all that have to be rejected because they're anathema to the middle class. They won't do it.” 👉Brought to you by Freespoke.com, the search engine built to be unbiased. Join the over 10,000 patriots who’ve upgraded to Freespoke Premium.

Victor Davis Hanson | A Message to Mexico’s President: Fix Your Country Before Criticizing Ours
Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how Mexico's trade practices, cartel complicity, and remittance dependence are fueling an asymmetrical relationship that benefits Mexico at America’s expense on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Ms. Sheinbaum, why don't you do the following? Why don't you say that Mexican nationals are your citizens? They're key to your economic growth. You don't want them to leave your country. You have a new revisionist reform plan that you're going to offer them social services so that they don't flee to the United States. You're going to keep your own people in your own country. “ The problem with Mexican-American relationships, as those polls reveal, is on your side. Don't run up surpluses by mercantile dealings with an existential enemy of the United States, China. Do not count on American taxpayers to subsidize your own citizens who entered illegally to send back 63 billion to your failing economy. And do not lecture us about the cartels—what we should and should not do about it—when you are enabling them to kill 70,000 Americans as a source of foreign exchange inside Mexico.” 👉 Brought to you by Freespoke.com, the search engine built to be unbiased.

Virginia GOP Faces Tough August Forecasts: One Leader Weighs In
With August about to begin the long-time Virginia election watchers say that this is when “it gets real.” The Washington Examiner just published election predictions made by the organization State Navigate that reported that by their estimates each Democrat candidate would win the statewide races by a minimum of 8 percent and that Lt Gov Winsome Sears would lose by 11. Moreover, they predict that the Democratic party will flip 7 seats in the House of Delegates. Flipping it to a GOP majority had been a key effort of the Republican Party leadership so that they could block the “Day Of” Abortion constitutional amendment. We sat down with one leader that is spending his time and campaign contributions on other candidates this year, Tom Garrett of Virginia’s 56th district (Fluvanna, Louisa, Goochland) and asked him if the race had really turned so badly.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Race-Fueled Cincinnati Beatdown Was Real—And Ignored.
But this has been all but ignored by the corporate media. Why? Victor Davis Hanson says the fight does not align with their narrative of America as a place of “salad bowl tribal identification” instead of being a melting pot. He breaks down the disturbing implications of the fight and reaction on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ It was on Fox News and New York Post, etc., but not in the legacy media. It was almost as if they were saying, ‘This is a taboo subject.’ But if you go back, what they did cover, the media, they covered the Duke lacrosse incident. That was completely a hoax. There was no black stripper who was attacked by fraternity brothers. It was made up. The Covington kids. That was made up. … This wasn't made up. This was real. “ Once a society goes down this pathway of racial essentialism or tribalism, and you send the message that you as an individual are not responsible for your own behavior, but you're part of a victimized collective, and then you have repertory or justification rights to commit a crime and without the expectation of punishment, the result is civilizational declining chaos. And so, we need to remedy this and to show people that if they wanna stomp on some helpless victim on the ground, they're gonna pay a high price.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: NEW Information on Obama-Russiagate Setup Surfaces
Victor Davis Hanson breaks down role former intelligence heads John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey—Obama’s "three blind mice”—played in this on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words. “There’s new evidence that Barack Obama asked intelligence, investigatory heads—like John Brennan, like James Clapper and James Comey—to "find me evidence that you haven’t found yet so that we can continue the Russian collusion hoax after it was ineffective in the campaign, Hillary lost the election. Now we want to sabotage." This is the subtext of the transition and his presidency. " They were so desperate to validate it. They said to Christopher Steele, ‘Just give us some proof. We can use this. We’ll give you a million dollars.’ He couldn’t even come up with a mil—he couldn’t even come up with the substantive arguments to corroborate his own dossier, so he didn’t get the million dollars.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Hunter Biden Slips the Truth We All Knew About Joe Biden’s White House
The disturbing implications? For years, America was led by a cognitively impaired president, while his scandal-plagued son acted as a key adviser behind the scenes. On this week’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson asks the question: Who was really running the White House during Biden’s term? “ He just said about the laptop—in which he is seen using drugs, he's in pornographic poses, but most importantly, he references his father as “the big guy” and "the 10% guy," and he laments that he is the bagman for the family. It's very incriminating. But he doesn't—as he has before—he has never denied that it was his. “What I'm getting at is this: It's very dangerous to think that for four years we had a president who was mentally challenged, cognitively disabled, suffering dementia. And the close circle around them—whether they were former Obama operatives or Biden senatorial family, or his own real family—that these people were running the country. And the last year or two, if you look at photographs, videos of Biden giving a speech, Biden traveling, there's one constant. It's Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was his eyes and his ears. And he was a close—and maybe the closest—adviser to his father.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama Killed the Truth to Frame Trump
Despite repeated media claims that “17 intelligence agencies” confirmed the collusion, these documents show that no such consensus ever existed. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how this deliberate misinformation campaign damaged Trump’s 2016 campaign, his transition, and his presidency, while undermining U.S. credibility on the world stage on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ There's news about the Tulsi Gabbard release of documents, alleging that Barack Obama and our top intelligence head had conspired to create a false narrative that Donald Trump was, essentially, a Russian asset. “ But the problem is that, as I'm speaking, there's going to be new information. And these other subordinate intelligence directors that work variously for Clapper or Brennan are going to come forward in saying, ‘We found nothing. Clapper knew it. Brennan knew it.’ And what will Clapper and Brennan say? That ‘we knew it, but we lied,’ or, ‘We knew it and they told us to—Obama told us to lie,’ or, ‘He lied. We lied.’ It's not going to be pretty.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

It's Back to (Micro) School Time! And What Are Micro-Schools Anyway?
bonus“Back To School” Yes, it’s back-to-school time in much of Virginia come the first week of August and as we enter a universe where the Supreme Court has cleared the way for the dismantling of the Federal Department of Education, many Virginians feel uneasy about what that future will bring. As we said in the column from last week titled “Could an End to Funding Mean a Start to School Choice?” it is also a time of opportunity to go back to serving the children of Virginia and providing them with the tools to be great adults. In last week’s column we touched on the Virginia Micro-School Network and so many people asked about what that was, we decided that we needed to sit down with Lindsey Zea with the Virginia Micro Schools network to find out what they are and where they are going.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Sends So-Called ‘Expert’ Reeling After Historic First 6 Months
Nothing could have prepared our so-called “experts” for the growing success of the Trump administration. They insist they alone could only predict the outcome of numerous policies. And yet, time after time, they continue to get it all wrong. Look no further than President Donald Trump’s tariff policy. Trump’s tariffs did not send the U.S. into a recession, as some of the so-called “experts” believed would happen. Instead, they’ve generated over $100 billion in revenue so far this year, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. An outcome some experts thought would be impossible. These miscalculations not only apply to the economy, but also on issues such as immigration, military recruitment, and foreign investment, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama Faked Trump-Russia Narrative and Almost Got Away With It
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed documents this week that could upend the entire narrative of the so-called “Russian Collusion” scandal: New intelligence originally sourced from Dutch agencies shows U.S. officials knew there was no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia as early as 2016. Why did Obama-era intelligence leaders like John Brennan, James Clapper, and possibly James Comey continue pushing the hoax? And did President Barack Obama himself ignore briefings that contradicted the false narrative? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Now, what's Tulsi Gabbard upset about? That was known to John Brennan. That was known to James Clapper. That was probably known to the FBI. But they have notes, they have information that when they prepared this digest daily, weekly digest of intelligence updates to lame-duck Barack Obama in 2016 and into 2017, he ignored it. He did not want to hear that. He wanted more information pertaining to Donald Trump and the Russians colluding. It was almost like, you find me the crime and I'll give you the criminal. “ Is it serious? If it's credible, then you have a conspiracy of the top people in the United States intelligence and investigative communities conspiring with a sitting president of the United States to destroy the administration of his opponent, successor, Donald J. Trump.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
