Victor Davis Hanson: Anthony Fauci’s Fall Is a Modern Greek Tragedy
Anthony Fauci’s private diary presents a starkly different account of the COVID pandemic from the one given to the American public. The records reveal his awareness that the lab-leak theory was credible, his private agreement with arguments against school closures, and his fixation on media attention, awards, money, and personal influence. Fauci publicly portrayed himself as the embodiment of science while dismissing opposing experts and exercising enormous power over federal research funding. His private admissions, public contradictions, involvement with gain-of-function research, and support from the media turned his pursuit of authority and fame into a modern Greek tragedy—one that severely damaged his legacy and public trust in American institutions.

Victor Davis Hanson: What Critics Get Wrong About Homer’s ‘Odyssey’
Homer’s Odyssey was not written as a straightforward account of the Bronze Age. It emerged from centuries of oral storytelling that preserved faint memories of Mycenaean civilization, absorbed the customs of the Greek Dark Ages, and incorporated warfare, agriculture, politics, and language from Homer’s own time. The collapse that followed the Trojan War transformed ruined palaces, forgotten tombs, and distant rulers into stories of Cyclopes, demigods, and legendary heroes. That complicated history also challenges criticism of Christopher Nolan’s adaptation, since Homer’s poem itself blends multiple eras rather than presenting a historically exact picture of ancient Greece.

Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Plans to Stall the War Until the Midterms
After nearly five months of conflict with Iran, Trump needs a new strategy to end the war. Iran is betting high gas prices and the continuing conflict will hand the midterms over to Democrats. The U.S. needs to turn the Iranian playbook against the regime—recognizing an alternative government, cutting off all funds, and refusing to negotiate with terrorists that have slaughtered their own people.

Victor Davis Hanson: President Trump Is Undoing a Destructive Revolution 50 Years in the Making
Today’s revolutionary movement to subvert America’s integral values has been 50 years in the making, and President Trump is the first true counter-revolutionary challenging the Left’s narrative. Unlike the Bushes, John McCain, or Mitt Romney, Trump is signing legislation and implementing policies to end the revolution, from classrooms to the military to the border. “He’s the first authentic counter-revolutionary since Andrew Jackson,” says Hanson. Who would’ve thought America first policies could solve most of the country’s problems?

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrat Socialists Think America Is Somehow Worse Than Mass-Murderer Mao Zedong
We’re hearing more and more from the Democrat Socialists about America's troubled past. But what exactly are America’s sins? Of course, they have no answer except to criticize capitalism, the very system that brought them a $9 million home and a $120,000 Porsche. And if you ask most Americans, they’d tell you the Democrat Socialists have gone too far. Mao Zedong’s communist China doesn’t really sound like a paradise.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Socialist Masquerade: Why the Left Keeps Faking Middle-Class Credentials
Tim Walz. James Talarico. Graham Platner. The Left can’t stop propping up “middle-class” candidates that somehow resonate with no one from the actual middle class. The November midterms are fast approaching, and Democrats may be realizing that elite socialists masquerading as men and women of the people is not the win they think it is.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Is Preparing for the Final Phase Against Iran
For nearly 140 days, the conflict with Iran has shifted from direct military action to negotiations and limited exchanges, leaving key objectives unresolved. Missile attacks on Gulf states continue, the Strait of Hormuz remains contested, and questions remain about Iran's enriched uranium and nuclear capabilities.Iran has sought to prolong the conflict until after the midterm elections, while President Trump is under pressure to conclude military operations without preventing Iran from rebuilding its military strength. The latest strikes have become more aggressive, remaining military targets are identified, responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz is shifted to regional allies, and Iran's decision to avoid attacking Israel despite continuing attacks across the Gulf highlights Israel's deterrence and military advantage.

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘The Odyssey’ and the Woke Feminists Trying to Rewrite Homer’s Play
Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of “The Odyssey” has been drawing a lot of attention but not necessarily for good reasons.Actress Lupita Nyong’o, set to play Helen of Troy in the film, complained in an interview that Homer didn’t include enough women in his play. In actuality, “The Odyssey” was one of the most pro-women works for its time period. Nolan’s film has also received criticism for its controversial casting choices, including giving the role of the famed Greek mythological warrior Achilles to transgender actor Elliot Page. Nolan’s adaptation releases Friday, July 17. Only time will tell whether the film stayed true to Homer’s vision. 👉Pepperdine School of Public Policy - visit https://go.pepperdine.edu/dailysignal to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices.
