The United States should be at its pinnacle of strength. It still produces more goods and services than any other nation—China included, which has a population over four times as large. Its fuel and food industries are globally preeminent, as are its graduate science, computer, engineering, medical, and technology university programs. Its constitution is the oldest of current free nations. And the U.S. military is by far the best funded in the world. And yet something has gone terribly wrong within America, from the southern border to Afghanistan.

As much as I fancy myself a critical thinker, incisive philosopher snd articulate writer, I stand in awe of this man Hanson. Ditto Thomas Sowell and the late Walter Williams.

The beat goes on and the choir knows the song by heart. America is being destroyed internally and on the world stage. It would be great to say that this is simply a Democrat ploy led by a mentally infirm psychopathic egotist but it is not that alone. There is hardly any voice of opposition from the Republicans to all these issues. Where are they? Simple, they are happy to keep mum in the hope that they can do well in the 2022 mid-terms (provided the candidates that win are who they choose (weak, malleable, and for all purposes a Republican in Name Only). Perhaps these articles are waking some people up but without any leadership or fearless unity to oppose what is happening is to prepare to protect their family and an escape plan because the "government" is not going to save you.

Great article. Obama always wanted an American caliphate. He's getting away with it. This guy, who stole the White House, is just finishing Obama's work with the help of Soros, Jarrett and the likes. It's amazing how far we've fallen in 9 months.

Once again, VDH sees things clearly.
Medals Milley acts like some Afghan warlord when he is not even in the chain of command. Milley deserves to be arrested for his treason and tried. If the facts indicate that he actually did what Woodward says, he should be severely punished.

Many believe COVIDS is little threat these days. They eschew masks and vaccines in a public manner. It's hard, then, to rally around COVIDS as something needing attention along the border. Nothing more than the bad flu, some say. The hypocrisy on both sides of COVIDS is evident, and people have pretty much settled on what and whose science they're following. COVIDS has generally become a yawner to the general public.
Biden was "selected" for a reason few wish to acknowledge: He was the perfect front for the UNIPARTY desperate to recoup after four years of PDT. Biden is a made UNIPARTY man, a known commodity. He's not making policy or decisions. That's done for him while he struts his aviator sunglasses, cool working man persona, and eats ice cream for the adoring masses. Occasionally a paper is placed before him and he signs as instructed. Joe is really effen us, but does he know or care? So long as Hunter is selling his art...
The US military is living in 1953. The public is inured to our global presence and occasional dustup with gueriilas and rebels wherever. So, after 20 years and an embarassing Afghanistan withdrawal, the US is in peril. Well, maybe. The argument was that a few thousand soldiers in perpetual occupation would stem AQ/ISIS terrorism in the USA. Meanwhile, we spent TRILLIONS making the Afghans into what it is...which is what it was. We fight conflicts, not wars, and our goal is to make peace, not impose policy or values - we have become the world's social worker.
Americans have made their bed as Leader of the Free World...that place where there are concentration camps for COVIDS, enforced vaccinations, and open borders to unleash inferior cultures to "diversify" others, particularly if European and advanced. While America pays for slavery, Europe pays for colonialism. Christianity pays for its sins in the Americas and the Crusades. Israel just pays. Lessons such as taught in Zimbabwe and South Africa are washed over with today's impoverishment and failure in the name of justice.
No one looks to the damage that is already done and being done to cutures and their order in the developed world.

A firing squad is to easy and dignified an end for milley. I recommend he be air-dropped, in full regalia, hands zip-tied behind him, into the baddest Taliban camp we can identify.

Clear thinking and insightful analysis by a master. I believe Mr. Hanson would fit right in with the Founding Fathers. He is no lightweight and as a historian understands the depth of wisdom and intellect that went into forming this new nation. The political class shame themselves, some with their destruction of the country through active participation to transform what did not need transforming and the remaining sorry souls who cannot be bothered to rouse themselves to present any opposition. We are in a crisis that just may take this country down. Then what? Lord Bountiful is not going to come and take care of you. You will be left to whatever wolves are left standing and they will hungrily devour anyone who dares to resist the change. I do wish I had more hope, but Mr. Hanson has laid it out truthfully and I can’t see one indication that he is wrong. We need are warriors to step up. I pray that they will, but if they haven’t by now, what would it take to wake them up at this point?
