    What I find that makes this man unique is the fact that he is grounded by his connection to the family farm. That alone keeps him from drinking the kool-aid that is Stanford, the west coast elite or east coast ideology. He is connect to the every day man and real life through his farm.

      I would never bring shame to My Country and I have always been Proud. Pride comes from what We ourselves contribute in the form of achieving at every opportunity possible, small or large. I served My Country Honorably, then used those skills to start My own business for 27 years. I always treated and performed for my customers to the highest standards of Trade and never had to apologize for anything. Citizens of this Country that are ashamed or embarrassed are either not utilizing even Minute offers available to only American's. I see the Woke and other Haters of America are actually miserable, lazy, non-competitive, unmotivated and afraid to Fail over the slightest risk. They Blame their inept abilities on this Beautiful United States of America, the Land of Opportunities only Bound by their Own Boundaries "they" have installed! These are the People that are helping the destruction Dr. Hansen identified. I am strong in nature, never discontempt for anyone type person or race, but these individuals from all aspects have Pissed Me off to no end! They also lack awareness of repercussions of their actions. Myself and Patriotic Bros. and Sisters are out of patience and if it means them or America's Existence......................We will gladly assist them to the 'wide open southern border,' expenses paid. Maybe after a year or so of receiving Real Socialism and lawlessness these people could end up becoming the best Citizens' of the Greatest Constitutional Republic in History!

      That's a good un😂 "The land of the fee and the home of the ( oblivious city zen) slaves" - "free" 😂 Yeah right ?!? - that is complete non sense. The us is the opposite of free. It is and always has been enslaved.
      If you dont work a slave job, enriching and obeying slave bosses and managers , for to earn money and give the govs the lions share of your slave labor/money , that they armed rob it from you - And if you don't oney the govs- you can't survive, not "legally. Youll likely find yourself kidnapped and caged by the criminal thig slave drivers called cops - And you can't buy / trade your slave labor for no liberty / permit/ permission to do anything. Unless you work a slave job, obey, and pay the slave lords called govs the lions share of your slave labor.
      And your only other option for survival other than working a slave job - is to do crime / illegal stuff - Which will get you kidnapped and caged if you get caught.
      INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU TRY TO LIVE FOR FREE AND FREELY IN NATURE THE WAY OUR CREATORS (our father and Yahshua the christ) INTENDED/ designed and built us and programmed us to do. Actual freeness as opposed to slavery is illegal in the us. That means that the us has never been free , it has always been a enslaved by the devil / rebellion/ civy lies nation. And the big AC Lucifer is clearly the "in god they trust/ the us govs trust ".
      The very first thing the us govs did was to torture and murder the free folks into extinction, and they forced the survivors into subjection/ enslaved the survivors.
      And the us is a shiney beacon of slaves who think that slavery in the devil's civy lies nations and religions = freeness . And The us is one of the most enslaved civy lies nations and religions in the world.
      "Working for money( is still )slavery to the evil masters of the devil/ the rebellion lead by the OG called the big AC "Lucifer"/ the OG 6-6-6 gang. " And " Money is still the root of all of the evil in the devils civy lies nations and religions."

    Victor Hanson is not only brilliant, he's extremely knowledgeable and articulate. When you add to that the fact that he's very sensible
    and seems to have a great grasp on how the world is and how it should be, it's hard to understand why he has never run for President
    or at least for U.S. Senator. I'm 91 years old and consequently have seen a number of both of them and believe that he is as well
    suited to be the President of the United States as any that we have had in my lifetime. I would consider it an honor to assist him
    in any small way that I could to attain that goal for the good of our country. Perhaps someone who is younger could even start a
    grass roots campaign to draft him for the job.

      That's not a complimentary thing to say and is in fact mildly lewd, though I assume you meant it in a favorable way. Was what you were trying to say is *_"He blows every professor in the country out of the water."?_* That's an old Naval saying meaning the enemy ship was totally destroyed. You might consider avoiding colloquialisms that you don't understand or cannot relate accurately. Because it doesn't matter what you mean, that's open to interpretation if what you say isn't accurate. In colloquial American English what you said could be interpreted to mean you think Victor Davis Hanson is gay and he's not.

VDH is a humanitarian... A farmer... A man with common-sense realities coupled with intense insight and a rigorous methodology towards deductive logic. Much like a farmer going to work in the pre-dawn hours, VDH goes right to the source of the question, as opposed to remaining at the podium, as all [other] orators do.

      That's was much more common in Christian America before the democrat party took GOD, prayer the Ten Commandments and Bible study out of the American schools and the public square and replaced them with atheism as the official religion of the American schools and the public square in the 1960's.
      Now it's just a bunch of atheistic fools.
      Think about this, gender fluidity absurdities fundamentally changed America into Sodom and Gomorrah on steroids.
      Obama did that.
      Now he wouldn't of been able to do that if the GOD hating baby killing KKK slave democratic party hadn't of gotten GOD, prayer, the Ten Commandments and Bible study out of the American schools and the public square in the 1960's.
      It took about 50 years to dumb down the masses in America too get too that point.

    Philadelphia, 1787. The delegates to the Constitutional Convention are just leaving Independence Hall, having decided on the general structure for the new United States. A crowd had gathered on the steps of Independence Hall, eager to hear the news. A sturdy old woman (sometimes referred to as “an anxious lady”), wearing a shawl, approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, “well, Doctor, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin replied sagely, “a republic, if you can keep it.”

When he said "there is no nasty predicament we will find ourselves in, that by being malevolent, vengeful, and cynical, will not be made 1000 times worse by our own actions". That made me "need" to be better. I think life is a war, and warlords are running it in very primitive ways. I do not want them to win.
