Victor Davis Hanson:
The Trump Deranged βExpertsβ Were Wrong. Again.
President Donald Trumpβs track record flies in the face of conventional wisdom from so-called βexpertsββ but they will be the last to admit it.
Since his second inauguration, the βexpertsβ have been relentless in their mission to minimize the Trump administrationβs 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. Iranβs 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 βVictor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.β
βDonald 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.
βYou 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.β

Hurricane Science Was Great While It Lasted
Known as the Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder, or SSMIS, it rides on a series of satellites and allows forecasters to see a stormβs structure, which might otherwise be invisible. The Hurricane Hunter planes that fly into storms can also be used to generate three-dimensional storm images, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is responsible for hurricane forecasting, has only two of those aircraft. They canβt be everywhere at once. With the SSMIS, forecasters had an autonomous, powerful eye in the sky. But now the Department of Defense says it will cease processing and distributing the crucial imagery from this sensor at the end of this month. Losing these views threatens the National Hurricane Centerβs ability to see whatβs forming.

Iβm a political scientist, and I found that Americans were far less likely to publicly voice their opinions than even during the height of the McCarthy-era Red Scare.According to a 2022 book written by political scientists Taylor Carlson and Jaime E. Settle, fears about speaking out are grounded in concerns about social sanctions for expressing unwelcome views.
And this withholding of views extends across a broad range of social circumstances. In 2022, for instance, I conducted a survey of a representative sample of about 1,500 residents of the U.S. I found that while 45% of the respondents were worried about expressing their views to members of their immediate family, this percentage ballooned to 62% when it came to speaking out publicly in oneβs community. Nearly half of those surveyed said they felt less free to speak their minds than they used to.
About three to four times more Americans said they did not feel free to express themselves, compared with the number of those who said so during the McCarthy era.
No better example of this can be found than in the absence of debate in the contemporary U.S. about the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis, whatever outcome such vigorous discussion might produce. Fearful of consequences, many people are withholding their views on Israel β whether Israel has committed war crimes, for instance, or whether Israeli members of government should be sanctioned β because they fear being branded as antisemitic.
Many Americans are also biting their tongues when it comes to DEI, affirmative action and even whether political tolerance is essential for democracy.
Nearly half of Americans say they feel less free to speak their minds.The Conversation

Auf dem Weg nach DΓΌsseldorf, wo ich morgen frΓΌh live im ZDF bei βVolle Kanneβ sein werde (schaltet mal rein und postet, wie ihr es fandet!) sitze ich auf dem Boden. Keine Klimaanlage im Bordbistro, ein komplett ΓΌberlasteter ICE, der ungeplant viele FahrgΓ€ste aus anderen ZΓΌgen aufnehmen musste.
DANKE an alle, die den Laden heute am Laufen halten. Trotz Hitze. Trotz AusfΓ€llen. Trotz politischer VernachlΓ€ssigung.
An Tagen wie heute wird wieder sichtbar, wer unsere MobilitΓ€t wirklich trΓ€gt:
Die Menschen bei der Bahn β in den ZΓΌgen, an den Bahnsteigen, in Servicecentern, Leitstellen, WerkstΓ€tten und Fahrgastinformationssystemen.
Bei Temperaturen deutlich ΓΌber 30 Grad, unermΓΌdlich im Einsatz, dabei oft beschimpft und sogar bedroht.
IHR seid das RΓΌckgrat der Verkehrswende.
Mein Dank, Respekt und MitgefΓΌhl gehΓΆrt immer und erst recht heute euch!
Viele Verbindungen fallen heute aus. Klimaanlagen versagen. Die Infrastruktur ist durch das Extremwetter komplett ΓΌberlastet.
Das ist nicht eure Schuld, sondern das Resultat jahrzehntelanger politischer Entscheidungen.
Der aktuelle Zustand ist kein Zufall β er wurde gemacht.
Und jetzt: immer hΓ€ufigere 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 β sondern Druck auf die Politik.
Der Bundeshaushalt gibt jedes Jahr zig Milliarden fΓΌr fossile Subventionen aus β vom Dienstwagenprivileg bis zur Entfernungspauschale.
Geld ist da. Was fehlt, ist der Wille.
Und hier kommt ihr ins Spiel:
β Schreibt eure Abgeordneten an.
β Fragt, was im Bundesverkehrsministerium wirklich PrioritΓ€t hat.
β Macht Druck β von unten. Denn von oben bewegt sich zu wenig.
Wir brauchen:
ch stehe an der Seite derer, die heute trotzdem da sind β und trotz allem versuchen, die MobilitΓ€t der Vielen zu ermΓΆglichen.
Und kommt mir jetzt mit keinem ABER, das hatten wir Jahrzehnte lang.
Es braucht jetzt endlich das DAFΓR!
FΓΌr freie Wahl der MobilitΓ€t, sichere Reisen egal womit und einen Respekt, den alle verdient haben, wie auch immer sie unterwegs sein wollen.
