Victor Davis Hanson:
The Trump Deranged “Experts” Were Wrong. Again.

President Donald Trump’s track record flies in the face of conventional wisdom from so-called “experts”— but they will be the last to admit it.

Since his second inauguration, the “experts” have been relentless in their mission to minimize the Trump administration’s efforts with the economy, immigration, Iran, and beyond.

Meanwhile, the stock market has soared. There were ZERO illegal border crossings in May, according to CBP. Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was left severely damaged without the threat of war on the horizon. All this, thanks to the decisive and, at times controversial, actions taken by the Trump administration.

Despite these verifiable results,
@VDHanson
argues that much of the elite resistance to Trump stems not from data, but from disdain. And that bias has blinded them to basic common sense. He breaks it down on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“Donald Trump is pretty commonsensical. If you take a million people away that were working in the shadows at cheaper wages and hurting American job opportunities and you make countries that had asymmetrical tariffs and were responsible for a $1.1 trillion trade deficit and you can stop that and they still want entry into the American market, then you can have an economic renaissance.

“You should try to shed your Trump Derangement Syndrome because it's really affecting your powers of judgment and analysis. And you're going to lose readers. You are so wedded to the idea that Donald Trump is going to destroy the United States because of your personal animus, you cannot see that most people have commonsense solutions.”

I am very pleased to announce the nomination of Eric Tung to serve as Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Eric worked for two of our Country’s Greatest Supreme Court Justices, Antonin Scalia and Neil Gorsuch, before working at the Department of Justice, and serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California. Eric is a Tough Patriot, who will uphold the Rule of Law in the most RADICAL, Leftist States like California, Oregon, and Washington. It is critical now, more than ever before, that we have LAW AND ORDER. Good luck and congratulations Eric!

It is my Great Honor to nominate Joshua D. Dunlap, of the Great State of Maine, to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Joshua is a seasoned litigator, with a TON of excellent experience, appearing before the First Circuit, and all levels of the Federal and State Judiciary. He is a Partner at Pierce Atwood LLP in Portland, Maine, and earned his J.D. from Notre Dame. We need more TOUGH and SMART Judges on the Federal Bench, who fearlessly defend our Constitution, and Joshua will do just do that. Congratulations Joshua!

Die miese Qualität unserer Bahn ist keine NATURkatastrophe. Es ist eine politische.


Auf dem Weg nach Düsseldorf, wo ich morgen früh live im ZDF bei „Volle Kanne“ sein werde (schaltet mal rein und postet, wie ihr es fandet!) sitze ich auf dem Boden. Keine Klimaanlage im Bordbistro, ein komplett überlasteter ICE, der ungeplant viele Fahrgäste aus anderen Zügen aufnehmen musste.

DANKE an alle, die den Laden heute am Laufen halten. Trotz Hitze. Trotz Ausfällen. Trotz politischer Vernachlässigung.

An Tagen wie heute wird wieder sichtbar, wer unsere Mobilität wirklich trägt:
Die Menschen bei der Bahn – in den Zügen, an den Bahnsteigen, in Servicecentern, Leitstellen, Werkstätten und Fahrgastinformationssystemen.

Bei Temperaturen deutlich über 30 Grad, unermüdlich im Einsatz, dabei oft beschimpft und sogar bedroht.
IHR seid das Rückgrat der Verkehrswende.
Mein Dank, Respekt und Mitgefühl gehört immer und erst recht heute euch!

Viele Verbindungen fallen heute aus. Klimaanlagen versagen. Die Infrastruktur ist durch das Extremwetter komplett überlastet.

Das ist nicht eure Schuld, sondern das Resultat jahrzehntelanger politischer Entscheidungen.
Der aktuelle Zustand ist kein Zufall – er wurde gemacht.

  • Jahrzehntelange Unterfinanzierung der Schiene
  • Priorisierung von Autobahnbau und fossilem Individualverkehr
  • Fehlende Redundanzen und Kapazitäten

Und jetzt: immer häufigere Extremwetterlagen, die das System ans absolute Limit bringen
Das ist keine NATURkatastrophe. Es ist eine politische.

Was es braucht, ist nicht noch mehr Geduld von Mitarbeitenden und Reisenden zu fordern – sondern Druck auf die Politik.
Der Bundeshaushalt gibt jedes Jahr zig Milliarden für fossile Subventionen aus – vom Dienstwagenprivileg bis zur Entfernungspauschale.
Geld ist da. Was fehlt, ist der Wille.

Und hier kommt ihr ins Spiel:
– Schreibt eure Abgeordneten an.
– Fragt, was im Bundesverkehrsministerium wirklich Priorität hat.
– Macht Druck – von unten. Denn von oben bewegt sich zu wenig.

Wir brauchen:

  • mehr Personal, besser bezahlt und besser geschützt
  • mehr Züge, mehr Redundanz, mehr Resilienz
  • und vor allem: eine Verkehrspolitik, die aufhört, das Auto zu vergöttern, während Menschen in überhitzten Zügen arbeiten und reisen

ch stehe an der Seite derer, die heute trotzdem da sind – und trotz allem versuchen, die Mobilität der Vielen zu ermöglichen.
Und kommt mir jetzt mit keinem ABER, das hatten wir Jahrzehnte lang.
Es braucht jetzt endlich das DAFÜR!
Für freie Wahl der Mobilität, sichere Reisen egal womit und einen Respekt, den alle verdient haben, wie auch immer sie unterwegs sein wollen.

Spanish MEP wants ban on Israeli military companies accessing EU funds over Gaza


A Spanish member of the European Parliament said Wednesday he wants the European Commission to ban Israeli military companies from accessing EU funds, citing their potential use in the war in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.

Nacho Sanchez Amor, a socialist MEP and member of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights, said the EU must avoid “double standards” in addressing human rights violations.

“The EU cannot fall under double standards when it comes to HumanRightsViolations & it cannot be accessory to Netanyahu genocidal actions,” Amor wrote on X, referencing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has pursued a war of genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza since late 2023.

It's been in the news lately that a young active member of the Nazi brutality-clubs "Active Club" is "linked to a member of the government" of Sweden, according to major news-media reporting.
Some "experts" and colleagues dismissed it with phrases like "well, what can you do, we're all linked to so many people", buuut...
...turns out "linked to" may have a bit deceptively vague phrasing, as the person (Gustaf Forssell) is Minister for (actually against) Migration Johan Forssell's... son,
also acting as a recruiter for the Fascist youth-group DFSU,
reports AFA (antifa) Stockholm in the latest of their consistently reliable releases.

Well, if you know the politics of that minister, you're probably not shocked. My response at learning which minister it was, was literally "ooooh, THAT makes sense".

"Swedish minister called to face questions over relative's links to far-right extremism"

This morning the Nazi-campaigner's dad Minister for Migration (and for "Integration") of Sweden went on TV, after a week of stonewalling the revelation of the son's Nazi-activism.
The minister stated that "I wish I wasn't in this situation".

The minister previously strongly promoted refugee-families should be deported if a child "misbehaves", but now said "Parental responsibility doesn't mean it always goes right. Sometimes it goes wrong. […] It is about TRYING to succeed.", which is certainly extremely different now that it's Nazi and own parental responsibility failure.

The minister also used the child as a shield to claim "to protect a minor" was the reason for refusing to take responsibility in the press until now, which is pure bullshit. If the minister had proactively taken responsibility instead of actively ducking, then they could have kept focus on the failed dad, preventing widening of topic.

The minister claims to have "had no idea at all" of the >1 year Nazi-activities, although some was in public through the son's public social media account, which the minister follows.

Instead of taking responsibility the minister exploited this personal failure to implicitly promote banning teens from social media, which would devastate their development for an adulthood with social media.

Now also in English: "Migration Minister Johan Forssell breaks silence on son's connections to extreme far-right movements"
Public Service radio of Sweden: sverigesradio.se/artikel/migra…

Furthermore, the State Security (SÄPO) spy agency elsewhere assures the public that they do have their own information gathering,
related to that the anti-fascist magazine Expo was the first to inform the failed parenting responsibility Migration Minister, just before SÄPO did (while AFA/antifa has had the person's Nazi-campaigning activities under silent surveillance for a long time).
Oookay... I didn't think that spy agency (or any) was without "own information gathering". Now... I'm confused and uncertain? Whut?

in reply to b9AcE

"Sweden’s migration minister ‘shocked’ by teenage son’s far-right activism" (you CAN write "Nazi" for Nazi-group member) article theguardian.com/world/2025/jul… has several flaws, incl such a foundational one as labeling the minister's party "centre-right", while it has never been anything close to "center".
The party's actual history involves mergers of parties like the 1888 "Protectionist Party" from which it became 1910 "United Right Party", then 1912 "National Party" until 1935 becoming the "The Right" party (as in "right-wing", not "justice"... different words in Swedish), until renaming to the "Moderate Party" in 1969 for PR of the times while not making their politics "moderate" but remaining the most right-wing party in parliament until the "Christian Democrat" (disputed claims) party got in 1985 so both competed for most right-wing in parliament, until as late as 2010 when Waffen-SS frontline-volunteers co-founded "Sweden Democrat" party took farthest right-mantle but both of the previous farthest-right parties in parliament keep adopting recent policies of the more recent more hate-based contender, without which they can't govern, thus dragging everyone down doom-pit of far-right authoritarianism.
Just because a party puts a PR-claim in their name does not make it true. Politicians lie.

Like a pulse
from somewhere between insomnia and rebellion. "

  • The Paper Doesn’t Ask Why..

I often sit in front of empty paper
not to write
but to unload the static, from both inside & outside —
All those fragments that crowd
behind my sometimes grinding teeth..

Then
Dreamscribe whispers through cracked windowpanes
at 3:14 AM.
She doesn't knock.
She never asks permission.

Quillusion hangs in the corner,
as half-mirage,
sometimes in half-memories I never lived.
It watches. It waits.
Sometimes it laughs.

& then
Inkweave—the ritual,
the thread of symbols
looped through bone-deep meaning.
I pull it tight,
or let it unravel,
depending on the weather inside my chest.

Fableflow arrives late.
Always. -
Dragging stories
like shadows on broken glass,
and they bleed—
not red,nor black from the pen
but something louder.

&
The paper doesn't ask why.
It just listens
Pending senses through the pen..

4 Haiku`s to June..

1.
My dear June, you passed—

Ah, you ended so soon, love,

Gone with firefly light.

2.
Sunset stains the sky,

Laughter in the grass lingers,

Crickets take the stage.

3.
Ripe peaches soften,

Children run through sprinkler arcs,

Time forgets to stay.

4.
Last bloom of the rose—

A hush before July wakes,

Holding June’s goodbye.
