The standoff with Iran has reached a critical tipping point, and the regime’s desperate stall tactics are proving no match for America's crippling economic blockades.

While radical Democrats cross their fingers for a domestic recession or a midterm-wrecking oil crisis, Donald Trump holds the ultimate trump card in the Strait of Hormuz.

The clock is ticking on Tehran's revolutionary theatrics, and the United States military is perfectly positioned to shut down their terror subsidies once and for all, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:”

Former FBI Director James Comey is under the microscope again, this time hiding behind a ridiculous "seashell" defense after allegedly posting a veiled threat against Donald Trump.

While the legacy media rushes to dismiss the "86/47" beach message as a harmless coincidence, Comey’s long record of selective amnesia and partisan leaks tells a much darker story.

From orchestrating the Russia collusion hoax to shielding Hillary Clinton's illegal homebrew servers, this latest stunt highlights the sheer arrogance of a thoroughly weaponized justice system. 

It is past time to hold the architects of the Deep State accountable for years of lying to Congress and betraying the American people, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Despite claims the war is failing, Iran is facing massive economic losses, dwindling oil capacity, and a military that’s effectively been neutralized. “It’s not a military problem… the military problem has been solved.” What remains is a political decision about how far to go.

But the bigger story is the ripple effect. From a potential breakdown of OPEC and falling oil prices, to China being deterred and Russia stretched thin, the global balance is already shifting. Even Europe’s response is called into question as the U.S. continues to demonstrate overwhelming strategic leverage.

In his words, “Iran is broke,” and the consequences are already spreading far beyond the region, argues Victor Davis Hanson.

Eight weeks into the Iran war, the regime is seriously fractured. Power is divided, internal factions are competing, and the pressure from economic and military constraints is beginning to take its toll.

With sanctions, blockades, and internal instability mounting, the question is no longer if Iran is weakening, but how long it can hold together before an inevitable collapse. As the situation develops, decisions made now could determine whether this conflict ends decisively or drags on, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:”

In a chaotic Pomona College debate marked by constant interruptions and deep voter frustration, Steve Hilton delivered the strongest performance by confronting Sacramento’s failures head-on, Matt Mahan stood out as the most pragmatic Democrat, while Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer turned in the weakest, most disconnected showings as 64% of Californians now believe the California Dream is no longer attainable, Drew Allen, The Daily Signal’s California Contributor, argues on today’s edition commentary.

Tech billionaire Sergey Brin fled socialism in the Soviet Union as a child—only to spend years funding its modern version in California. For over a decade, he funneled millions into Democrat candidates and progressive policies that reshaped the state, while ordinary Californians dealt with the consequences.

Only now, as those same policies come back to hit his own fortune in the form of a proposed billionaire tax, has Brin changed his tune. 

With the tax man knocking on his door (and his new MAGA-aligned influencer girlfriend in the picture) he’s suddenly pouring money into the RNC and backing candidates like Steve Hilton, dropping tens of millions to stop the very system he helped build.

The lesson is the same as it’s always been: “Socialism fails every single time it's tried, everywhere It's been tried. And the Golden State, California, is proving it again right now, in real time,” Drew Allen, Daily Signal Califonira Contributor, on today’s video commentary.

The unhinged manifesto of the recent would-be White House Correspondents' Dinner assassin is nothing more than a regurgitated checklist of the radical Left's favorite lies and dangerous conspiracy theories.

From thoroughly debunked Russia collusion hoaxes to entirely fabricated accusations regarding the border, the shooter's twisted justifications prove exactly how poisonous mainstream media rhetoric has become.

This violent escalation is the terrifying, direct result of Marxist influencers championing "social murder" and turning actual criminals into woke folk heroes. Unless the Left finally abandons its relentless campaign of Trump Derangement Syndrome and stops glorifying political violence, this lethal echo chamber will only continue to radicalize the unstable, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:”

“Obviously, Cole Thomas Allen is unhinged. He's crazy. He may be bright by graduating from Caltech, but he didn't seem to be very bright in his manifesto. But what he wrote as an exegesis of why he was doing it is an encapsulation of ideology that's promulgated by today's Left.”

No president in U.S. history has been the target of three assassination attempts in which shots were fired by either law enforcement or the shooter himself.

And yet this is Trump’s third time.

Political violence doesn’t happen overnight.

For almost a decade now, the Left has reified the idea that 1. Trump is “literally Hitler” and 2. that harming him is justified—Gavin Newsom and Robert De Niro talked about hitting Trump in the mouth. Shakespeare in the Park substituted Caesar for a Trump look-alike. Anthony Bourdain said he’d poison him.

And that lowers the bar.

And that means people like Cole Tomas Allen come out of the woodwork, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

There are not enough homes for every foster child, yet under the Biden administration, children were put in the system because of their parents’ beliefs about gender, according to Assistant Secretary of Health Alex Adams.

Adams, who oversees the Administration of Children and Families, is working to stop Child Protective Services from taking kids away from their families because the parents won’t affirm the child’s transgender identity.

“When a child is removed from a family, you are inflicting permanent, irreversible harm on both the child as well as the parents,” Adams told The Daily Signal. “That's not a decision that should be made lightly, and it should be reserved to the most significant cases of abuse or neglect as judged by a court.”
