    *"The future does not belong to globalist. The future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens, respect their neighbors and honor the differences that make each country special and unique."* _- President Trump_

    I love the Hoover Institution and I find Victor Davis Hanson's commentary to be invaluable to our national discourse. By the way I quit my cushy office job last year and became an electrician and it has cured my depression. I find working class toiling nourishes my soul. My only regret is wasting 4 years of my youth getting Bachelor's degree in Poli Sci.

    Dr. Hanson is a so intelligent, so objective, so insightful voice for a Mexican-American Californian just down the road in Riverside county. He's the best.

      What you said is true, not just for a Mexican-American, but independent of heritage. You probably, hopefully, didn't realize how backhanded your compliments were, as if you were implicitly surprised at his profundity, yourself prejudging and the only commenter who referenced race v other predictors of intellect.

    Here in Arizona, the infection rate has been 1 out of 4,000, and the death rate has been 1 out of 150,000. Is that enough to force everybody to stay home? Frustrating.

    I am an American living in London and you're absolutely right, Victor. We are fed up with someone in Brussels telling us how long a banana has to be to be a banana. Brexit is only the beginning and I look forward to your theory of a return to a simple Common Market re-emerging in the future.

    Went to the cardiologist yesterday. No one in the outdoor testing facilities. Not even 1 and I drove by several times. My cardiologist laughed when I mentioned feeling stupid for being there during a pandemic. He said it doesn’t matter because the hospital is EMPTY. People aren’t receiving care. Central planning will always result in damaging those that have no need for “their” plan. It needs to be severely localized so it can be our plan.

    Host Bill Whalen says that each and every day he watches Governor Cuomo's briefing, Governor Newsom's briefing, and President Trump's briefing. What a miserable way to live. I'd do that with a gun to my head, but I can't imagine doing it of my own free will. I guess that as a journalist he feels he has to.

You truly believe our existence is to find a way to live in the World and not control it. You will never have to apologize. Science will.

    In my area, only those seriously ill or working in clinics are tested. They have no ability to test those with mild cases, or those who've recovered from apparent covid. I'm sure the prevalence of this flu is greater, and the danger far less, than is generally believed.

    The host saying at 4:00 there is no end in site to this, is fear-mongering himself. There certainly IS an end in site to this. Victor should have corrected him. In part, it is clear by plateauing hospitalizations many restrictions will be lifted in early May, all by at least June...
