Republicans cannot rely solely on Democrats’ extremism and a SCOTUS radical gerrymandering win to carry them through the midterms. They need a clear record of accomplishments, Operation Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful, pacification of a China- and Russia-aligned Venezuela, and a concrete agenda for the next two years.

They need a new "Contract with America," argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”



“Our opponents are not the party of workers. They're the party of the downwardly mobile, college-educated, formerly upper-middle class, and a new phenomenon of first- and second-generation immigrants coming from failed states, mostly because of socialism, that are attacking the United States.”

Jason Arday’s rise to a prestigious professorship at Cambridge University unraveled amid allegations of plagiarism and fabricated claims in his memoir. His death raises difficult questions about the institutions that elevated him, Cambridge’s commitment to DEI-based hiring, and Simon & Schuster’s decision to publish his memoir despite concerns about its accuracy. The scandal exposes the consequences of abandoning academic merit and placing someone in a position he was never qualified to hold.

Iran is facing an increasingly severe economic and military squeeze as sanctions, financial isolation, trade restrictions, and attacks on its military infrastructure cut the country off from the global economy. The strategy resembles an economic “Anaconda Plan,” gradually depriving Iran of oil revenue, foreign currency, industrial parts, weapons, fuel, and access to international markets while negotiations and military action continue.

Iran is betting that it can withstand the pressure long enough for the approaching U.S. midterm elections to constrain the Trump administration, but the country is losing hundreds of millions of dollars in economic output and revenue each day while its military capabilities continue to deteriorate.

The Strait of Hormuz may also become less valuable as Gulf states expand pipelines and alternative export routes through the Gulf of Oman, Red Sea, and potentially the Mediterranean. As Iran's economy weakens, its military shrinks, and alternative oil routes reduce its leverage over global shipping, time may increasingly favor the United States rather than Tehran.

Tucker Carlson and a group of MAGA conservatives are reportedly considering a possible third-party movement ahead of 2028. The history of third-party campaigns shows how they can split an ideological coalition and hand victory to the opposing party, from Theodore Roosevelt and the Bull Moose Party to Ross Perot and Ralph Nader.

The proposed movement shares much of its agenda with the Trump administration but breaks sharply over foreign policy, the Iran war, Israel, and American involvement overseas. Personal disputes with Trump, growing divisions within MAGA, criticism of AIPAC and Israel, and controversial rhetoric surrounding Jewish influence have also become part of the emerging fracture.

A third-party challenge could ultimately act as a spoiler in 2028, dividing the MAGA coalition and hurting the Republican candidate attempting to succeed Donald Trump.

From JFK appointing his brother as Attorney General to Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Stacey Abrams denying election results, the historical record shows the Left has followed every play in their weaponization playbook.

 

The Left’s outrage at Trump’s recent appointment of Todd Blanche as Attorney General was another prime example that their accusations almost always mirror their past conduct.
