‘They Don’t Get It’: Victor Davis
Hanson Says Dem Rep Trying To Impeach
Trump Exemplifies Party’s Failure To Learn
Posted By: snakeoil, 2/7/2025 10:47:41 PM
Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson argued during a Friday podcast that Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green announcing he will bring articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump is emblematic of the Democratic Party’s failure to course-correct after the 2024 election. Trump made significant gains with both Hispanic and black men during the November election. Hanson, on “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” pointed to Green’s impeachment effort as part of a larger pattern of Democrats being out of touch with their constituents, particularly men.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Reuters on Friday that he hopes to make a deal with President Donald Trump to bring an end to the war with Russia. During his campaign for office, Trump vowed to bring peace to the world, as multiple foreign wars had been pushed during the Biden-Harris administration. In an interview with Reuters, Zelenskyy said he was open to making a deal with the U.S. regarding Trump’s request for Ukraine to supply the U.S. with rare earths and other minerals in exchange for continued financial aid.
The Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are now unplugged from Russia's electricity grid and have joined the European Union's network. Plans for the move - which have been in the works since 2007 - were seen as essential for European security and had been brought brought forward after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. "Today, history is made," EU chief Ursula von der Leyen told a ceremony in Lithuania's capital. "This is freedom, freedom from threats, freedom from blackmail."
Canada's outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told a group of business leaders he believes President Donald Trump might be serious about annexing his country. Trudeau suggested Trump has floated the idea of taking over Canada and making it the "51st state" because he wants to access the country's critical minerals. "Mr Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing," the prime minister said.

Democratic strategist James Carville condemned his party on Thursday for pursuing agendas that he argued are disconnected from the concerns of everyday Americans. During the “outrage of the week” segment on his “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville expressed frustration with New York Democrats pushing for pet bereavement leave and with the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) gender rules discussed at its Saturday Winter Meeting.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that President Donald Trump has not ruled out or committed to sending U.S. troops to Gaza. Trump announced during a joint press conference Tuesday evening that the U.S. will “take over” the Gaza Strip in order to end the Israel-Hamas war and supply “unlimited numbers of jobs and housing” for people in the area. Leavitt said that the president is ready to “rebuild” Gaza for the Palestinian people, though there has been no commitment to U.S. troops entering the region by foot to fight Hamas.
One of the most expensive green energy projects ever undertaken in American history looks like it is now on borrowed time after eating up massive amounts of taxpayer dollars and killing thousands of birds. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) — a major utility company — announced in January that it is terminating power purchase contracts with the owners of Southwestern California’s Ivanpah Solar Power facility, a massive and unique solar project that received hundreds of millions of subsidy dollars as it launched in 2014.
Against the backdrop of the fires that wiped out whole sections of Southern California, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s careers are in danger due to anger from the state's Democratic base. Calls for both leaders to step down from office have grown since fires started tearing through the swanky hills of Los Angeles on Jan. 7. An online petition demanding Bass step down has garnered more than 166,000 signatures. Newsom was notified of recall papers on Tuesday due to an effort spearheaded by Californian activist Randy Economy.
New York Democrats are reportedly plotting to prevent Speaker Mike Johnson from having a full majority as House Republicans work to pass major parts of President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda. Democratic lawmakers in New York’s state legislature could unveil a bill as early as Monday to delay the special election to fill outgoing Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik’s seat until June when the state holds scheduled primary elections, according to multiple reports.
Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson explained on Friday how Democratic senators’ attacks on President Donald Trump’s nominees during confirmation hearings are backfiring politically because of conservatives’ current ability to push their messages more effectively online. Many Democratic senators have taken adversarial approaches to Trump’s cabinet nominees, including screaming at them, interrupting them and hurling accusations against them. Hanson, on “Victor Davis Hanson Show,” said that Trump’s nominees have all excelled at their hearings as they have come under fire from Democrats.
Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson predicted Friday on Fox Business that Democrats’ approval rating will further go down after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair event. During an appearance on “The Bottom Line,” Hanson cited a Quinnipiac poll showing that less than half of the American public holds a favorable view of the Democratic Party.
NewsNation host Chris Cuomo accused Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday of hypocrisy during her questioning of Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his confirmation hearing. Warren pressed Kennedy to “commit” to not accepting compensation for any lawsuits against drug companies during his potential tenure at HHS and for four years after, leading to a heated exchange. Cuomo, on “CUOMO,” suggested that Warren’s record, which includes becoming substantially wealthier while in office and misrepresenting her Native American heritage, should have disqualified her from such questioning of Kennedy.

In a stunning and sweeping emergency injunction that has even stunned the people who demanded it, a Manhattan-based District Judge has just removed Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent from his authority over the Treasury Department; blocked any political appointee from accessing records within the Treasury Department; blocked any “special appointee” of President Trump from records within Treasury; and demanded that all information previously extracted be destroyed.

Over the past two weeks Elon Musk and his cadre of young computer geniuses have cracked the code. Like Toto pulling the curtain on the Wizard of Oz, they’ve pulled back the cover on government secrecy. They've shown how oceans of tax revenue have flowed through Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), charitable-sounding foundations, the UN, and others to fund terrorists, disrupters like BLM, and reporters to promote Democrats and censor the opposition, most often to enrich Democrat politicians and their friends, families, and allies. The news you thought was news wasn’t independently and honestly generated. The charities you thought were genuine, weren’t. It’s one big gaslighting grift and you paid for it.
Why Elon Musk And DOGE Terrify Democrats
20 replies
You may have noticed the absolute meltdown of the left over the existence of Elon Musk and the DOGE team doing exactly what Donald Trump was elected to do. I phrased it that way because that’s exactly what is happening – someone is finally going through the government’s books and records to figure out what people do, how much it costs, where the rest of the money is going and whether or not we can live without it since we’re more than $36 trillion in debt. Why would anyone meltdown over that? There’s a very simple reason: Democrats cannot afford for the American people realizing
President Trump is not done laying down the law on corrupt officials who sought not only destroy his political career and but also lock him in prison for life.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, Trump announced Friday evening he has revoked Joe Biden’s national security clearance and is stopping his courtesy presidential daily intelligence briefings.
The president cited Biden’s precedent of doing the same to him in 2021, as well as the report by Special Counsel Robert Hur on Biden’s “poor memory” in his investigation about Biden stealing and mishandling classified documents as reasons for his action.
Trump has now told the New York Post in an exclusive interview
Politico issued an emergency "Note to Our Readers" on Thursday about evidence uncovered by Team Doge that Politico has been paid at least $8 million indirectly via high priced government agency subscriptions to its Politico Pro service.
Bizarrely in the entire note the agency at the center of the scandal dares not mention its name. Yes, you will not see the word "USAID" even once in the note issued by Politico's CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Global Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris.
The damage control starts with the subtitle of the emergency note: "POLITICO has been the subject of debate on X this week. Some of it has been misinformed, and some of it

Harry, saying Meghan Markle is enough

President Donald Trump on Friday said that he isn’t interested in deporting Prince Harry, who famously left Britain with his wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020, eventually settling in Montecito, California. The Duke of Sussex is in hot water after conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit last year against the Department of Homeland Security to have his immigration records released following Harry admitting to illegal drug use in the past in his 2023 memoir "Spare."
"I don’t want to do that," Trump told the New York Post on Friday after being asked if he would deport the royal. "I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife.

A major solar power plant project that was granted over a billion dollars in federal loans is on the road to closure, with energy experts blasting the project as a “boondoggle” that harmed the environment. In 2011, the US Department of Energy (DOE) under former President Barack Obama issued $1.6 billion in loan guarantees to finance the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, a green energy project that consists of three solar concentrating thermal power plants in California.
Karoline Leavitt is a bit cross with the California Democrat who accused her of faux faith.
The White House press secretary fired back at freshman Rep. Dave Min, who attacked Leavitt on X last week, labeling her “a Fake Christian.”
“I think it’s pitiful for an elected member of Congress to say that about a woman who he’s never even met,” she told The Post Saturday.
(Photo) Min’s remarks came in response to the White House rescinding an Office of Management and Budget memo that ordered a freeze of all federal grants and loans that contradict Trump’s executive orders.
Who ran the White House?

During the last months of Joe Biden’s presidency, he obviously was not fit to serve as president. So who ran the White House during that time?
Lindy Li is a former Democratic National Committee insider who was heavily involved in Kamala Harris’s campaign. Li answers that question:
"According to Li, Joe Biden, already staggering from public scrutiny, effectively lost control of the White House after that fateful debate [with Donald Trump in June 2024]. The event reportedly prompted an audacious power shuffle at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—one spearheaded by none other than Hunter Biden.
Li alleges that, following Biden’s disastrous debate drubbing, Hunter essentially took over White House operations. Speaking with podcaster
Democrats have been losing their minds over DOGE looking into the finances of the various executive branch agencies. They've resorted to arguing that the president, the head of the executive branch, can't review or designate people to review said agencies, arguing that's somehow "illegal." It's a bizarre argument. One of the most problematic things has been all the things uncovered about USAID. They also want you to think that it's all just defensible aid.
Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) tried that tactic on CNN with Michael Smerconish. Smerconish asked if funding an Iraqi version of "Sesame Street" was a "judicious use of soft power." Coons argued it was
