Virginia Redistricting, Not Save Act, Is ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ | Waverly Washington & Joe Thomas

Fri, 13 Mar 2026
A PAC headed up by former Delegate AC Cordoza is under fire for sending mailers out last weekend with imagery of the civil rights movement of the 1960's. 

Virginia State Speaker of the House Don Scott said, "The Civil Rights Movement should not be used as a political prop" (even as U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer called the SAVE Act "Jim Crow, 2.0"). 

A video ad put together by a group of Black Community leaders in the group "GateKeepersVA" has also been burning up social media and is driving more contributions to attempt to catch the Eric Holder backed pro-redistricting campaign's $20 million warchest.

Virginia congressional candidate, and one of the people that put the ad together, Waverly Washington joins Joe Thomas, Daily Signal Virginia correspondent, to explain how a kid who once visited his father in prison became a West Point graduate, Army officer, and now a pro-Trump fighter for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District.

Why Trump’s Iran Ambitions Don’t Require Ground Troops | Victor Davis Hanson

Thu, 12 Mar 2026
Following the initiation of Operation Epic Fury, there has been a lot of talk about a supposed MAGA split among Trump supporters. After all, the America First credo was no optional wars in the Middle East following disgust with the 20-year misadventures in Afghanistan and Iraq.

But Iran is not Afghanistan or Iraq.

This is a top-down, air-only military conflict whose stated mission objectives do not necessitate ground forces, and the MAGA base understands this, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“But nobody has ever seen a war in which one side destroyed the entire air force of the enemy, the entire navy of the enemy, and has got pretty much 90% of its ballistic missile arsenal nullified and probably 85% of the drones and decapitated the entire command and control of the military.”

Victor Davis Hanson: No Politicking at a Funeral? Not for Obama

Wed, 11 Mar 2026
Former President Barack Obama has a tendency to turn funeral eulogies into political messages.

It’s not just Obama either. The Democrat party as a whole tends to attack President Donald Trump and promote Democratic policy positions whenever there’s an opportunity, explains Victor Davis Hanson in today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“The Democrats have a long history of using the venue of the funeral memorial service to hijack it and use it for political purposes… In 2002, they did that with the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. What should have been a memorial service turned into a four-hour campaign harangue.”(00:00) Funerals as Politics

Victor Davis Hanson: Why America’s Most Reliable Ally Isn’t in NATO

Tue, 10 Mar 2026
It's rare for the U.S. to have a capable ally, but Israel is just that.

 

While the so-called big powers of NATO don’t have the air capability or the will to cooperate with its allies, Israel does, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

 

“We have a very strong ally in Israel.  We have some unreliable allies in our formal alliance. We should remember that before we start making accusations that the Jews or the Israelis are pulling the strings of American diplomacy and military decision making.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Newsom Blames Dyslexia, but Can Voters Read Between the Lines?

Tue, 10 Mar 2026
Coinciding with the release of his autobiography, California Gov. Gavin Newsom just had the worst February of any major want-to-be presidential candidate in modern memory.

Newsom tries posing as someone who grew up poor and dyslexic in order to connect with minority voters better and to “dispel” his true image of being “a nepo baby,” explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.

“So when he talked about he just ate white bread or he had all of these problems growing up—he said he had dyslexia—but the idea that Gavin Newsom was somehow parallel to Abraham Lincoln in a log cabin or JD Vance just doesn't work.”
