The Iran War UPDATE: Collapse, Chaos, and What Comes Next | Victor Davis Hanson

Wed, 29 Apr 2026
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:”

Pomona Debate 2026: The California Dream is Dying—Clear Winners, Clear Losers | Drew Allen

Wed, 29 Apr 2026
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.

Sergey Brin Turns Conservative After Funding Democrats for Over a Decade | Drew Allen

Wed, 29 Apr 2026
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.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Leftist Talking Points Within Cole Tomas Allen’s Deadly Manifesto

Tue, 28 Apr 2026
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.”

Victor Davis Hanson: They Said ‘Punch Him’—Now It’s Bullets: The Dangerous Escalation No One Wants to Admit

Mon, 27 Apr 2026
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.”
