    1. “ … John McCain’s kick-me campaign …”

      Says it all. VDH completely understands the pulse of middle America. A stunningly unique perspective from a … college professor … let alone one from a top-2 University in the bowels of Silicon Valley (emphasis on the duodenum). How is this possible? Because VDH lives in both the tech-colon-y and agrarian Fresno, raising grapes on his historically familial-held raisin-ranch. VDH doesn’t suffer from University myopia. He doesn’t live in a leftist bubble.

        1. Correction: he commutes into the bubble … then leaves for God’s country on the weekends (but I’m not really correcting you … )

  1. Great article.

    From a Canadian perspective, a thought came to my mind as I was reading it.

    Could you even imagine the love-fest that would have taken place if Justine and Billary were in power at the same time?

    I think I’m nauseous.

    1. “I think I’m nauseous.”
      Did you picture Justin on hands and knees and Billary with a strap-on?
      Now that’s deplorable.

  2. Liberals have lost their collective minds and the hissy fit that started in 2010 is now out of control with Trump.

    This was on full display for all independents and moderates to see during the Kavanaugh proceedings, which left us all realizing that something wasn’t right.

    A question though, why does Trump continue to take all comers (Omerosa, Horse Face and her two bit lawyer) rather than be silent and let them look even more foolish?

    As much as it entertains, I think it hurts him with those on the fence.

    1. ….because it’s hysterical

      It’s like him poking Maxine Waters….she says something…he pokes….she goes batshitcrazy…..says something even more radical….he pokes….she goes batshitcrazy…..wash rinse repeat

    2. B & P, you still don’t understand Trump, and how his strategy, that put him in the WH, works

    3. Coming soon to Canada at an election near your. They will hate Sheer for the same reason they hate Trump: power denied.

      Statist-progressive-elitists are con artists at heart who become quite nasty when their flim flam is revealed.

    4. Because it is a WINNING strategy. My sig other says the same thing……………………this is what WORKS for him and resonates with the base, and keeps gaining him support. You don’t change what works!

  3. Another Obama legacy….. if you don’t like something (i.e. a court ruling a la Ferguson) just riot in the streets. The police will do nothing, due to the “righteousness” of your cause. And the media will cover for you as well, describing the anguish of your reaction, as opposed to the pain you cause others in your mindless rampage.

    1. “The police will do nothing, due to the “righteousness” of your cause.”

      More like the knowledge that if they lift a finger to control the crowd to prevent the inevitable violence the “if we make peace with them they’ll be our friends (vote for me)” politicians will throw them under the bus.

    2. The media will cover for you until leftists start killing the media, then listen to the whining

  4. Shorter VDH: “the best antidote to socialism, is letting people live in the country and under the rules socialists want for a while”.

    Odd, people watched, and they were not amused. Then they foisted Trump on the people who put the boot on their faces, and Trump stopped the boots from stamping on the faces…

    Funny how that worked out. Who could have predicted people basically want to be left alone, instead of constantly harrassed by omnipotent moral busybodies?

    1. One has to BE one of the busybodies … to support the business of busybodies. Everyone else wants to be left the damn hell alone!

    2. The problem with letting people live under the rules socialists want is the socialists kill many millions while they are in power. Then it takes so much pain and suffering to get rid of the socialists.

  5. I did an analysis on the 2016 election, based on the wiki page, focusing on the top 5 close calls, 4 Trump took and hellary 1 of them.
    concluded in a hypothetical sit’n, hellary was, get this, within *1/7th of 1 percent* of total eligible voters from taking the brass ring.
    one of those close calls was michigan which the arrogant c*nt refused to visit because it wasnt necessary.

    one seventh of one percent, expressed as a decimal: 0.0014. that close.
    today’s skill testing Q: did ALL the metoo, anyone but trump, hillary the hero, etc crowd, did they ALL get out and vote or, did they listen real close to the polls and decide hellary was a shoo-in and ‘1 vote doan mek no diffrenz’ and fail to show up?

    heh-heh-heh !!!

  6. Personally I think Obama was a symptom of something already happening to the left – not someone who lead the changes. His winning the nomination as a far left progressive with no political or life experience was the ultimate expression of extreme far left identity politics. It continues to manifest today – moderate democrats are being forced the the BLM, Antifa, Occupy base to express extremist views to get the nomination. Moderates have no voice in the party. Luckily this is resulting in people like Kyrsten Sinema (the ultimate porn name) winning their nomination in Arizona, and that socialist chick in New York defeating a decades serving congressman. Sinema will lose handily, while the socialist chick is safe, but her inane positions might affect others.

    1. Let that socialist chick keep talking. She’s a 28 year old idiot with little life experience, She’s as vacant as a new Vancouver condo tower.

    2. I agree. I think that the efforts that Yuri Bezmenov warned about in his Youtube videos and what we have learned about the efforts of the Frankfurt School have finally reared their ugly heads in our society and it will only get worse.

      Marxism is firmly entrenched in our media, educational system, and among many of our left-wing politicians.

    3. “– not someone who lead the changes.”…

      Greg, go back and listen carefully to Obama’s campaign speeches….especially his first campaign
      What he said he would do…what he promised….changed with each audience and where he was
      ..so if you were conservative…that’s what you heard…if you were far left liberal..you heard that too

      He truly was a sock puppet…he’s not smart enough to do that..the swamp is…..some group of people had to write and plot all that for him
      …and the proof was, when he got off teleprompter…it was a long series of stammering uh uh uh uh uh

      also, somehow Obama managed to convince people that he was not political or part of the swamp

      1. Obama didn’t “convince people that he was not political or part of the swamp” , he didn’t have to,,,that cover was provided generously to Obama by the media, particularly WP, NYT and the alphabet stations on TV.

  7. Victor Hanson’s commentaries are always worth reading word for word.

    Where will this progressive agony go? I suspect that we will see more crying in the streets, more pounding on the doors of the supreme court, more Portland style anarchist rioting, and more of the following link below. There are people, and we know who some of them are and they are also busy in Canada, who have an interest in tearing down the US Republic and are not only encouraging these opening stages of revolution and civil war, but are funding them.

    1. VDH: “Add it all up, and it was enough to drive any liberal to binge progressive drinking.”

    2. He writes as a historian … summarizing current events with a historians contextual viewpoint. And his analysis is always enlightening.

  8. Obama’s legacy in one sentence:

    No black man will ever be trusted with the White House again.

    His legacy in four words:

    President Donald John Trump.

    1. Don’t fool yourself, they might elect a JayZ or a Oprah type, the LIVs are easily fooled by these empty vessels

  9. Obama’s Operation Choke Point:

    “While in recent years our political leaders have not always lived up to Madison’s vision of government, rarely have they engaged in such blatant disregard for our constitutional rights as they did during Operation Choke Point — a secret program launched under the Obama administration to punish political adversaries.

    Operation Choke Point was a plot by President Obama’s Department of Justice, the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and other government agencies to cut off banking and financial services for small businesses and industries that they deemed to be political enemies or otherwise undesirable.”

  10. Obama was a functioning idiot…..Anyone who would appoint John Brennan to the CIA is not dealing with a full deck… Look at all his failed agencies.. DOJ Lynch was the broom Lady who hated cops ( South NY Justice is a pit of corruption).. FBI, IRS, State, Immigration

    You can’t pick them that bad unless you are a dysfunctional loon….NAME ONE WHO WAS COMPETENT!

    1. slapshot, you call Obama a “dysfunctional loon” , I call him a “neoMarxist” , same shiit I suppose.
      BTW, all his appointments, “czars” as the MSM loved to call them, WERE COMPETENT,,,,,,in providing Obama with the “fundamental change” that Obama went on and on about. Weaponizing government itself, to maintain political power indefinitely, the very root, the very beginnings of Marxism.

      In the months and years to come, the realization of just how close the U.S.A. was nearly lost to Marxism, will be spine chilling.

      Trump will have so much to reveal in years 3-4

      One more thing, always remember that the Lynch-Clinton meeting on the tarmac wasn’t revealed by the MSM,,,, but it was by accident, that a local news outlet happened to be there for a different story.
