The Two Wars In Iran

There are two wars being fought right now in Iran: A military one, which the United States is dominating on all fronts, and a political one, which is proving more difficult than the former. Why?

President Donald Trump has a lot to contend with right now: The MAGA base, the crazy Democrat opposition, the midterms, the economy, the charge that he’s too influenced by Israel, and the general repulsion of the American people for anything to do with the Middle East, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Trump Shakes The World

President Donald Trump has been the catalyst for a lot of the world’s current upheaval—Iranian threat decimated, Donroe Doctrine enforced in Latin America—and both members of his base and his opponents are making sure we know he’s to blame.

Three quarters of these conflicts, however, are reaching a resolution, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

“There is a good chance they could turn out with the United States in a preeminent position that we haven’t seen since at least World War II.”

A Game Of Threats?

Susan Rice, the former National Security Advisor under Barack Obama, invoked Game of Thrones in describing how the Democrats will seek to villify and destroy every last Republican candidate, office holder, pundit or even voter once her party returns to power.

We can only hope those vile and vicious ghouls do not return to power, but if they do, be prepared for a bloodbath. Here’s more from Victor Davis Hanson on The Daily Signal.

Trump’s Way Of War

Why attack Iran? Why reaffirm America’s dominance in Panama? Why capture Nicolás Maduro?

President Donald Trump has scores to settle. There’s a general pattern in the preemptive actions President Trump’s taken in both his terms in office. A central theme to all his actions is that they’re geostrategic and top-down, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

“Pressuring the Panamanians to divorce themselves from China. Making sure the Venezuelan oil does not go to Russia or China by changing the government and capturing Maduro. Things like that suggest that the current Iranian operation has targeted China. … You’re starting to see a pattern. These are wars of reckoning.”

Unexpected Boom On Way

Economic booms are usually defined by  “greater productivity,” increased foreign investment, “reasonable” interest rates, “energy production,” and “plentiful deregulation and tax cuts.”

But will any of this happen in 2026? Hanson predicts we’ll “see an economic bonanza” in 2026 as “there’s going to be more oil,”  “ new technologies,” and “all sorts of tax cuts” and “more deregulation than we’ve ever seen” in the Big Beautiful Bill on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

“ Add it all up: We’ve had an unexpectedly—unexpectedly, unexpectedly—good third quarter. I imagine the fourth quarter might be just as good if it were not for the government shutdown—the longest in history—that occurred in the fourth quarter, but we’ll see.  But more importantly: More foreign investment, more tax cuts, more deregulation, more energy development, lower interest, and I think you’re gonna see an economic bonanza.”

5 Years Ago: Were We Played?

How has the Left’s narrative surrounding January 6th 2021 begun to crack?

On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words,” Hanson explains how branding January 6 an “insurrection” drove impeachment efforts, investigations and years of specifically framed media coverage. He also examines the arrest and confession of Brian Cole Jr., the alleged January 6 pipe bomber, and why the delayed investigation and lingering questions surrounding his background cast doubt on many of the conclusions Americans were first told to accept.

“ We never got the honest story. So, that begs the question, why? Why didn’t they just come out and say, “Here’s all the information”? And the reason is, they wanted to cement a narrative in everybody’s mind that a reckless demonstration that turned into a riot was a pre-planned insurrection by Donald Trump, who ordered it, and therefore, should forfeit his political career, and he should never be allowed to run for office.”

Democrats’ Diversionary Tactic

It’s common knowledge that good performance in midterm elections hinges on one key issue: the economy. The Left knows this, and it knows that Trump’s economy is not only doing better than last year at this time during the Biden administration, but it’s doing better than any time in history.

Victor Davis Hanson explains the strategy behind the Democrats’ attempt to distract Americans from booming growth before the 2026 midterms on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

“The economy is going to boom in 2026 and the Left knows that. So, what is their strategy? Don’t talk about the Trump economy. And we’ve seen what? Go after Tesla. Firebomb Tesla dealerships. Drive Tesla off, automobiles off the road because Elon Musk was the prince of darkness and he was involved in DOGE. Demonize DOGE. Go after ICE. Have street theater. Have riots. Call them Gestapo. Say they’re worse than Hitler. Go after the National Guard that has cleaned up Washington, D.C. Encourage massive resistance. Call it illegal. Shut down the government.”

The Collapse Of Trust

Why are so many pundits and members of the press in Washington D.C. suddenly so silent about President Donald Trump? Are they afraid of him? Or are they afraid they have miscalculated and misread the public?

Victor Davis Hanson addresses the changing perceptions and offers his assessments about where the new battlelines are forming. He says, “Most people don’t realize what’s about to happen.” Here’s more from Hanson on Liberal Focus.

Can Economy Survive Sabotage?

The Democrat Party is no longer the centrist institution of the past, and because of that, the midterms will be unlike any in recent memory. Donald Trump’s path to victory for the GOP in 2026 is clear: Sustain a growing economy while facing opposition determined to stall it.

Victor Davis Hanson explains how the Left’s strategy seeks to slow momentum before voters can see the full recovery and what steps the Trump administration needs to take to fight back on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ Donald Trump is in a race to get the message out that the economy is much better than the Biden economy. It’s going to get much better,” Hanson says. “And don’t believe the media because the media, like the Democratic shutdown, like the Federal Reserve, this artificial efforts to keep interest rates high are politically motivated. But if everything works out the way that he had planned and he does the right thing, right around midterm time, the economy’s gonna take off.”
