Forget the 2024 Autopsy

Kamala Harris

Here’s Why Democrats Can’t Shake Their Worst Political Liability. The 2024 presidential election autopsy, which the Democratic National Committee commissioned and was shamed into releasing this week, is absolutely pathetic. Even in releasing it, the DNC felt honor-bound to mark it up, noting that some of the claims run counter to real evidence. The DNC will doubtless […]

Democrats’ Desperate “Jim Crow 2.0” Smear

Rewriting History While Their Party Owned the Original Racist Playbook. Democrats keep screeching “Jim Crow 2.0” like a broken record every time Republicans push common-sense election security, redraw maps, or require basic ID to vote. It’s their go-to libel, designed to paint America First policies as some reincarnation of segregationist evil. The claim is pure […]

Wondering What a Trump Endorsement Is Worth?

Texas Is About to Show You in Brutal Fashion Anybody still doubting the power of a Trump endorsement in today’s Republican Party needs to watch Texas this week. Ken Paxton versus John Cornyn in the May 26 GOP Senate runoff isn’t just another primary. It’s a live demonstration of what happens when the base gets […]

What Democrats Could Say, but Aren’t. What They Are Saying, but Shouldn’t.

Europe’s Freeloading Paradise Just Got Evicted—And the Tantrums Are Glorious.

President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth didn’t wake up one morning and decide to yank American boys out of Europe for fun. This is the bill coming due after decades of smug lectures, cheap shots at American voters, and treating U.S. taxpayers like an endless ATM for their welfare states and weak militaries. […]

New Blood Libel

Victor Davis Hanson Calls Out The New York Times Over Explosive Israel Story There’s been a very strange story that was printed not long ago by the liberal opinion journalist Nicholas Kristof. Now, apparently, he’s been retired. He’s written for decades at The New York Times. Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis […]

Seattle’s Socialist Mayor Now Panicking Over Businesses Leaving

Seattle’s socialist-in-chief is no longer laughing about chasing away businesses and wealthy residents. But the attitude adjustment may be too little, too late. Just a few weeks ago, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson infamously giggled when asked if she was concerned about wealthy residents fleeing Seattle because of her policies. “I think the claims that millionaires are going […]

America Being Overtaken? We’ve Heard That Before

The recent Chinese-American summit, as I’ve spoken elsewhere, has raised anxieties that there is a tension between an establishment United States and a rising power, China. And a lot of people who I would call declinists say, “Well, China’s gonna replace us.” Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to […]
