Victor Davis Hanson: California Democrats’ Effort to Protect Predators, Not Kids
A recently proposed bill in California would remove felony penalties for adults who solicit sex from minors aged 16 and 17. After public outcry, radical Democrats restored these felony penalties. But the question remains: Why would lawmakers seek to weaken consequences for those preying on vulnerable teens? In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” he explores the disturbing roots of this effort and what it says about the future of legal and moral standards. “ The Man/Boy [Love] Association has been around for years. But this is a larger effort by the homosexual radical community. Most homosexual men and women are not like this. But there is a group that wants to legitimize sex between younger boys and older men. “ It’s incumbent upon our leaders to draw the line somewhere and say, “We're not going to do this. We care more about the welfare and mental health of youth 16 and 17. We do not want them subject to the sexual predations of older men.”
Victor Davis Hanson: Biden’s Enablers Never Told Us Why They Did It
Why did the DNC, White House staffers and even seasoned journalists lie to the American people when they decided to run cover for Joe Biden? It's not enough just to say, “Politics. We want power.” What was the strategy that made you do something so egregious, asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “The same existential ‘Why do all these reporters now say, “We were in on the deal, we covered for Biden”? “The Biden staff did it.” “No, the media did it.” But they all agreed that he was non compos mentis. He was cognitively challenged when he was nominated, when they cleared the nomination field out. They got rid of Buttigeig. They got rid of Elizabeth Warren. They got rid of Sanders. They all disappeared quickly. “And then they used this waxen effigy as a veneer. But why? It was very risky to do that. They all tell us they did it but they don't tell us why… They saw this as a wonderful opportunity. Use Joe Biden and just have him come in three days a week, stumble through stuff, and then push through the most left-wing, nihilistic, destructive, socialist agenda in history.”
