Victor Davis Hanson Asks Uncomfortable Questions
In a January 5 column, titled The Coup We Never Knew, VDH wrote in the subhead: “We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare to a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup we never knew.”
Hanson constructed the column primarily with uncomfortable questions for which the answers are also uncomfortable, but in both cases, we’re talking about critical questions that need to be asked and answered....
What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?
Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?
Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas—furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our justices’ homes, with placards declaring “Off with their d—s”?
When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the campaign of a candidate it disliked? Was it legal suddenly for one presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of her rival?
Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures?
What happened to Election Night returns? Did the fact that Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?
When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their freedom during a pandemic? In America can health officials simply cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension?
How could it become illegal for mom-and-pop stores to sell flowers or shoes during a quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target?
How did a virus cancel the Constitution? Did the lockdowns rob of us of our sanity? Or was it the woke hysteria that ignited our collective madness?
Victor Davis Hanson asks uncomfortable questions that we as a country much answer. Uncomfortable questions for sure, with answers that many Americans either refuse to see or are afraid to ask.

Very interesting, informative, yet quite important concerning questions WE all must ask, seek resolutions and address, in my opinion. To band together, unite as a Nation where we know our laws, knew they have been perverted, broken, and the damage resulting from this, it's important now to have investigations to bring back America, IMO!
United is what American Citizen's need to be, prayers are needed on a journey to put Humpty Dumpty back together again! Ignoring evil does not work, follow the truths serves mankind best; Those that abused their powers need to be stepping down from governing, they have created crisis after crisis on purpose and it's shameful, in my opinion. Life is to be as fair and square as possible! America is not to be snared in traps set by a few knuckleheads deception to gain power over millions of folks; Why are our enemies within intertwined with foes against this Nation? Love, kindness, and common-sense goes along way. God Bless America!
