From Superpower to Self-Sabotage? The Real Threat to America’s Greatness | Victor Davis Hanson

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the nation’s unmatched economic, cultural, and military dominance remains clear on the global stage. The enduring strength of the Constitution, a merit-based society, and a tradition of innovation have fueled a level of success few nations have ever achieved. But growing debt, declining birth rates, and shifting cultural values raise serious questions about long-term stability. The future of American greatness may depend on whether the country can preserve the principles that made it exceptional in the first place, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

How Trump Outsmarted Iran While Critics Rooted Against America | Victor Davis Hanson

The legacy media, the so-called anti-MAGA Right, and the Democrat grandees in Congress have two things in common: They never wanted the U.S.-Iran war to go in America’s favor. Many of the critiques of Operation Epic Fury were not historically empirical, meaning they didn’t compare the ongoing conflict with Iran to past U.S. wars, such as the bombing campaign in Serbia or even the war in Afghanistan. But the evidence—in five weeks alone, the United States, with the Israeli Air Force, wiped out most of the top echelon of the four ruling cliques in the Iranian nation—was there, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words”: We’ve never taken on a country of 93 million people that had the most fearsome, terrible reputation of being dangerous and unpredictable, and running the Middle East with a ring-of-fire proxies in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon—indomitable. They had terrified seven presidents. And yet, in five weeks, we destroyed its ability to make war.

Glenn Beck: Be WAKE UP: The Islamist Takeover of America Is HALFWAY Complete | Glenn TV | Ep 472

Islamism is advancing inside the U.S. through Minnesota’s massive welfare fraud tied to Al-Shabaab, Sharia-style tribunals in Texas, Muslim Brotherhood campus networks, and failed immigration vetting that led to a CIA-trained Afghan migrant killing a National Guardsman. Glenn Beck ties these stories to the Muslim Brotherhood's 100-year plan to conquer the West, which is reportedly halfway complete. Europe has already lived through this collapse. British writer and podcaster Peter McIlvenna joins to reveal the parallels between Britain and what he saw while visiting Texas, and he reacts to Gov. Greg Abbott and President Trump cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood.

Ilhan Omar Hates America So why is she here? To destroy it.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) is deeply disappointed in her adopted country, and of course it is all the fault of none other than Donald J. Trump. While virtually all leftists hate Trump with hysterical, lunatic intensity, Omar goes them all one better, and she is in the process of transforming Trump-hatred into a veritable new art form. Watch for her to get an NEA grant any minute now.

Omar has gone all the other Trump-haters one better by claiming that Orange Man Bad is not just a new Hitler who is destroying “our democracy” (the term leftists like to use to refer to their own hegemony), but that he is destroying the country itself, reducing it to the level of a third-world hellhole.

This is ironic for numerous reasons, not least of which is the fact that it was the Biden regime that Omar favored, not the Trump administration that Omar hates, that opened the southern border and brought in millions of migrants. Many of those migrants immediately became a drain on the economy. Others committed various crimes, some of which involved unspeakable atrocities. Meanwhile, their presence further weakened national unity and social cohesion. It was Omar’s friends and colleagues, her fellow leftist apparatchiks, who did far more to reduce the U.S. to third-world status than Trump ever did.

Nevertheless, The Hill reported Tuesday that Omar declared that Trump’s efforts to stop the Los Angeles riots, which were themselves dedicated to stopping his efforts to deport some of those illegal migrants, were turning the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave into “one of the worst countries.”

Trump’s efforts to stop the rioting led her to compare America unfavorably to the idyllic and carefree Somalia of her youth: “Can you imagine that image that is going to be coming out of our country? I mean, I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries, where the military is on our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights, while our president’s spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade — it’s really shocking.”

Shocking? Maybe. Fictional? Certainly. In reality, there is nothing unconstitutional about the president restoring order, and an appeals court has sided with Trump in his legal fight against California Commissar Gavin Newsom over the deployment of the National Guard in the riots. Omar, however, has a narrative to push, and to do so, she enthusiastically wrapped herself in the old red, white and blue: “It should be a wake-up call for all Americans to say, ‘This is not the country we were born in. It’s not the country we believe in. This is not the country our Founding Fathers imagined, and this is not the country that is supported by our Constitution, our ideals, our values.’ And we should all collectively be out in the streets, rejecting what is taking place this week.”

What’s that? You didn’t know Ilhan Omar had such a patriotic concern for “our Constitution, our ideals, our values”? In June 2024, video began circulating of former Somali Prime Minister Hassan Khaire standing next to a beaming Omar and saying: “The interest of Ilhan is not Ilhan’s, it’s not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the interest of the American people, the interest of Ilhan is that of the Somali people and Somalia. The success of Ilhan is the success of Somalia.”

That video followed one in which Omar gave a speech in which she said: “We Somalis must have the confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the U.S. The U.S. government will only do what Somalis in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else.” She says that the U.S. government “must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interests of Somalia… Sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.”

A third video contains footage of Omar from 2022, once again speaking in Somali to a Somali audience. She begins by saying: “We must fix our roads.” Nothing wrong with that, except that she isn’t talking about the roads in her congressional district. She is talking about roads in Somalia. Omar continues:

I am an American migrant in the U.S. Congress. But I am a Somali girl, a girl with your lineage, a girl with your language, a girl with your religion, that was a young child taken from her country, that misses her country and wishes to live there, and share with its people. I am hopeful in the future that me and my children will be able to raise our kids in this land, where I was born and raised. To make that possible, there is a lot that we need to work on together to make our land a more stable and prosperous place. It is felt by all.

She loves Somalia and longs to live there. She thinks America, meanwhile, is among “the worst of countries.” Yet despite her expressed hope in the 2022 video, she is likely to remain in the country she hates. After all, there is so much more work to do in order to ensure its destruction.

China’s Stranglehold on America’s Drug Supply: Rosemary Gibson

“The United States depends on China for 95 percent of the key components necessary to make our generic drugs, and if China shuts the door on exports, within months our health care system would begin to collapse.” Rosemary Gibson is a national authority on health care policy and patient safety, and the author of “China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine.” “How come we don’t know that our medicines are being made in China? And this has been going on for a long time, and for years, there was zero regulation. How do we outsource production from a country with the highest standards in the world to places with no standards?” she asks. In this episode, Rosemary Gibson dives into the realities of China’s control of America’s medical supply chain, the increasing problem of contaminated medications, and what the current administration can do to fix it.

Judges vs. America: How the Deep State Is Overruling Your Vote

The question is simple: Who runs this country—the voters or the judges?

Another day, another judicial blockade. Three more executive orders—each designed to advance the will of the American people—were unceremoniously put on ice by unelected black-robed obstructionists yesterday. That brings the total to 15 since President Trump took office in January 2025. That’s 15 direct assaults on the policies Americans voted for when they rejected the corruption and incompetence of the radical left.

Let’s be clear: This isn’t about “the law,” “checks and balances,” or “democracy” (a term the left constantly redefines). This is about deep-state operatives and activist judges blocking reform, hamstringing the administration’s efforts to clean up the mess left behind by Biden’s regime. The same establishment class that spent four years ignoring open borders, skyrocketing inflation, and a weaponized FBI now insists that every procedural technicality be followed before President Trump can act.

Consider what was just blocked. Among the three executive orders frozen yesterday was one expediting the deportation of violent criminal aliens, another targeting the corruption that allows bureaucrats to profit from their positions, and a third cracking down on federal grants abused by activist organizations masquerading as nonprofits.

Let me repeat that: judges intervened to stop the removal of dangerous criminals, protect corrupt bureaucrats, and ensure taxpayer money keeps flowing to left-wing political groups.

Someone, somewhere, please explain to me what law requires America to fund its own destruction. I’ll wait.

Of course, there is no such law. What we’re seeing is a coordinated legal resistance—engineered by well-funded leftist legal outfits, cheered on by corporate media, and rubber-stamped by judges who treat the Constitution as a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. The game is “Lawfare,” an endless stream of lawsuits designed to bog down the administration, tie up policies in court, and hope Trump runs out of time.

The pattern is unmistakable. The first round of blocks targeted Trump’s border security orders—because apparently, enforcing immigration laws is radical. Then came economic reforms meant to rein in the unelected bureaucracy—blocked. Now, it’s anti-corruption measures. What’s next? Will a judge rule that Trump breathing unapproved air is unconstitutional?

What makes this even more infuriating is the hypocrisy. Biden issued 117 executive orders in his first year alone, many of which reshaped policy overnight—no pushback. When he unilaterally extended the eviction moratorium, despite the Supreme Court ruling it unconstitutional, the CDC did it anyway—no lawsuits, no injunctions. When he ordered OSHA to impose a vaccine mandate on private businesses, blatantly exceeding executive authority, the courts took months to respond—by then, the damage was done.

But the second Trump lifts his pen? Emergency lawsuits! Nationwide injunctions! Indignant CNN panels! The entire system is wired to protect the left’s interests while kneecapping anyone who challenges them.

So, who wins when judges override the duly elected president? The usual suspects. Open-borders cartels, government grifters, climate racketeers, and Washington bureaucrats who treat elections as suggestions. These are the people desperate to stop Trump’s America First agenda.

Trump already faces a hostile media, a corrupt DOJ, and a rabid opposition. Now, unelected judges have decided that the voters’ will is subject to their personal whims. The left couldn’t stop Trump at the ballot box, so now they’re trying to stop him in the courts.

Here’s the bottom line: if this continues, the presidency will cease to function. We will enter an era where only Democrat presidents get to govern, while Republican presidents are treated as placeholders under legal supervision. Elections will become meaningless. Activist courts will veto the will of the people, ensuring permanent rule by lawsuit.

That is the endgame. If they can paralyze Trump, they can paralyze any future Republican. If they can stall every executive action with endless legal challenges, no conservative reform will ever see the light of day. The left isn’t trying to “uphold the rule of law.” They are weaponizing the legal system to nullify elections they don’t like.

So, what do we do? First, Republicans in Congress must fight back. They control the House and have leverage in the Senate—use it. Stop funding corrupt agencies waging war on this administration. Demand accountability from judges who repeatedly overstep their authority. Treat this legal warfare as the existential threat it is.

Second, we need to fix the courts. The next Supreme Court vacancy must go to a warrior, not a compromiser. Lower courts must be purged of ideological activists who see themselves as policymakers. The left spent decades infiltrating the judiciary, and now we are reaping the consequences. If we don’t take judicial appointments seriously, we might as well surrender now.

Finally, the American people need to wake up. This is not just a legal battle. It is a fight over whether the people we elect actually get to govern. If unelected judges systematically dismantle the America First agenda, our votes will become meaningless.

The courts have become the last line of defense for the corrupt status quo. If we don’t fight back now, they will bury Trump’s reforms in legal quicksand and ensure no outsider ever challenges their grip on power again.

The question is simple: Who runs this country—the voters, or the judges? If we don’t settle that now, we may not get another chance.
