Even though Americans didn’t ask for it, Mamdani thought America would appreciate a July 4th message from him on why the country is racist and unfair. (Spoiler, you’re the problem.) In reality, the racist and privileged individual is Mamdani himself. He has never been the victim. He comes from wealthy parents, immigrates to America, and then criticizes the host country that took him in. “That’s about as racist as you can get,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.

America’s 250th anniversary raises a bigger question about whether the country can endure for another 250 years. The Constitution, federalism, legal immigration, natural resources, free markets, private property, and a strong middle class helped build the United States into the most successful nation in history. The rise of socialism, attacks on the constitutional system, open-border policies, hostility toward energy and agriculture, and class warfare all threaten the foundations that allowed America to flourish for centuries, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit https://www.JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.

The decline in America's race relations from the Chicago Juneteenth shooting, the Carmelo Anthony case, and the Caitlin Clark controversy. Victor Davis Hanson says America has lost much of the racial progress it made in the 1980s and 1990s. He argues that political leaders and the legacy media are focused on the wrong problems, discusses the effects of DEI and the Great Society, and explains why he believes real change must come from within the Black community.

Modern-day socialists are orchestrating their own revolutionary takeover of the Democrat Party, much like what occurred in France in the 18th century. Their agenda is less bloody but just as destructive: open borders, mass immigration, defunding police, institutionalizing diversity, etc. And it’s anti-everything that makes America great. Either this will be a trendy wave that comes and goes, or it will permanently transform the Democrat Party into one that is unrecognizable. 👉Mount Titano Media - FINDING OUR WORDS: Words That Made America is available now in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, Audible, and in Spanish translation on Amazon.com, and on www.MountTitanoMedia.com.

Caitlin Clark is single-handedly driving drastic revenue increases for the WNBA. So why are players trying to get her to retire? The jealousy, racial politics, and league mismanagement may be enough to prematurely end Clark’s career if the league can’t get back to what it was created for: basketball. Victor Davis Hanson presents three scenarios that may be the brutal truth.👉Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.

Even as the ink dries on the 60-day memorandum of understanding with Iran, attacks on American cargo ships persist. Whatever President Trump chooses as his next course of action, he must be mindful of the fast-approaching November midterms. One wrong move leads to lost Senate or House seats and two years of lawfare by the Democrats. President Trump may need to reply to Iran's attacks disproportionately or risk being a lame-duck president with only a phone and pen as power. 👉Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.

A new wave of democratic socialism is rising inside the Democrat Party, driven by candidates and activists who reject free market capitalism, American exceptionalism, and the country’s founding traditions. Figures like Zohran Mamdani, Graham Platner, Abdul El-Sayed, Bernie Sanders, and others are pushing a politics built around higher taxes, expanded entitlements, wealth redistribution, and resentment toward millionaires and billionaires. The irony is that many of the loudest socialist voices come from comfortable, affluent, or highly subsidized backgrounds while presenting themselves as champions of the working class. Socialism may win in deep-blue cities and congressional districts, but American history shows it becomes much harder to sell once voters see the full agenda in statewide and national races.

Gavin Newsom and his wife are currently under investigation by the Department of Justice in a serious state fund scandal. Allegedly, Newsom transferred millions to charities operated by his wife, creating an obvious conflict of interest and funding Left-wing organizations that keep the Newsoms in power. While Newsom claims the investigation by Trump’s DOJ is law-fare, the real law-fare may have occurred during Joe Biden’s presidency. “Now there’s no cover, no exemption and now you’re going to face scrutiny.” 👉Mount Titano Media - FINDING OUR WORDS: Words That Made America is available now in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, Audible, and in Spanish translation on Amazon.com, and on www.MountTitanoMedia.com.

The Left likes to argue that neocons are fueling the war in Iran, but the same radical, anti-Trump Leftists will say anything to criticize the president’s foreign policy. When one actually goes looking, America doesn’t seem to have enough ‘neocons’ to be fueling an entire war. Once again, the war may actually be a strategic part of Trump’s foreign policy in the Middle East. 👉Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.

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.” 👉Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.
