Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Can’t Defend Their Record, So They Want to Change the Rules

Fri, 22 May 2026
Left-wing candidates across the country are refusing to run on their actual records because they know the American people reject their failed policies. 

Instead of offering a positive agenda, they rely entirely on personal attacks against Donald Trump and a desperate scheme to rig the system, like court packing and redrawing congressional maps in states like Virginia, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Victor Davis Hanson: NYT Israeli Prisoner Dog Rape Claim—’Biggest Blood Libel of All’

Thu, 21 May 2026
“We’re anti-rape. The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on Oct. 7 now happens to Palestinians day after day after day,” says Nicholas Kristof, an opinion writer with The New York Times.

This month, Kristof published a piece titled “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” where he alleges that the Israeli military used dogs to rape inmates.

That is the biggest blood libel and slur against the Jewish people that I’ve ever heard. And yet, The New York Times, which always brags about fact-checking, didn’t fact-check it at all, Victor Davis Hanson argues on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

There’s No Question Prices Are Elevated’: Trump Official Addresses Small Businesses’ Economic Pain | Kelly Loeffler

Wed, 20 May 2026
Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler acknowledged that Americans are facing increased prices but promised that the economy will be better than ever after the Iran War ends.

“There's no question in recent weeks, prices have bumped up because of rising gas prices due to the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz now,” Loeffler told The Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. “Obviously, with gas prices bumping up, that does ripple through the supply chain.”

But Loeffler said she’s doing “everything we can in the meantime until the conclusion of this war, which we do believe is short term, to continue to alleviate the pressures of the Biden administration.”

Victor Davis Hanson: They Said Nazis Would Dominate, Then the Soviets. Now China

Tue, 19 May 2026
We’ve heard this story before. From Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union to Japan and the European Union, Americans have repeatedly been told another world power was about to overtake the U.S.

America is still leading the world in energy, agriculture, military strength, higher education, and innovation, and today’s fears about a rising China are part of a much older pattern of American decline narratives, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Why War With China Is Not Inevitable

Mon, 18 May 2026
Chinese officials increasingly warn about the so-called “Thucydides Trap,” the idea that a rising China and an established United States are destined for war. But the historical comparison falls apart under closer examination. 

From ancient Athens and Sparta to modern America and China, Hanson breaks down why the analogy is flawed, why the United States is not a declining power, and why China may be facing deeper long term problems than many in the West are willing to admit.  

Despite endless predictions of American decline, the United States still leads China in energy production, military power, food security, technological dominance, alliances, and economic productivity, while China faces mounting problems with demographics, debt, energy dependence, and slowing growth, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
