In a recent, eye-opening piece by Victor Davis Hanson, published on Fox News, we are confronted with a stark analysis that cuts to the heart of the challenges facing our nation today. Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a respected voice in conservative circles, lays out “11 ways Biden and his handlers are hell-bent on destroying America.” This article is not just a critique but a clarion call to those who hold dear the values upon which America was founded. Read Hanson’s full article here.
A Nation Under Siege
Hanson begins with a premise that is as unsettling as it is undeniable: the current administration, under President Biden, is enacting policies and taking actions that, whether by design or incompetence, are leading America to the brink of ruin. From the obliteration of our southern border to the astronomical rise in national debt, each step seems calculated to undermine the very fabric of American society.
Border Chaos and National Debt: A Recipe for Disaster
The first of Hanson’s points addresses the crisis at our southern border. By allowing over 10 million foreign nationals to enter the country unlawfully and effectively nullifying federal immigration laws, the administration has not only compromised national security but has also facilitated a drug crisis claiming thousands of American lives annually.
Equally alarming is the explosion of national debt, now exceeding $35 trillion. This reckless fiscal policy threatens to saddle future generations with an unsustainable financial burden, all while those in power demonize fiscal conservatism as heartless.
Foreign Policy Missteps and Identity Politics
Hanson does not shy away from critiquing the administration’s approach to foreign policy, highlighting a troubling pattern of appeasing adversaries like Iran and China while alienating longstanding allies. This, coupled with a divisive focus on identity politics at home, serves only to weaken America’s standing on the world stage and sow discord within its borders.
The Erosion of Law, Order, and Military Strength
Perhaps most concerning is the deliberate undermining of law and order, as Hanson points out the push towards decriminalizing violent crime and demonizing law enforcement. This, along with efforts to politicize the military and erode its capabilities, represents a direct attack on the institutions that keep Americans safe and secure.
The War on Energy and the Assault on the Family Unit
Hanson’s critique extends to the administration’s energy policies, which have prioritized inefficient and costly alternatives over reliable fossil fuels, placing an undue burden on the middle class. Moreover, the push towards late or non-existent marriage, the demonization of masculinity, and the encouragement of a culture of entitlement among the youth threaten the very foundation of the American family unit.
Indoctrination Over Education
Turning to education, Hanson decries the transformation of America’s universities into indoctrination centers where free thought and academic excellence are sacrificed at the altar of political correctness. This not only undermines the country’s intellectual capital but also erodes the principles of democracy and free speech.
Final Thoughts
Victor Davis Hanson’s analysis is a sobering reminder of the perilous path our nation is on. Yet, it is also a call to action for those who believe in the principles of freedom, personal responsibility, and the rule of law. As we stand at this crossroads, it is incumbent upon us to heed Hanson’s warning and work towards a future that honors the legacy of our forebears and the promise of America.
This is not just about policy disagreements; it’s about the survival of the American experiment. Hanson’s insights offer a roadmap for reclaiming our nation’s destiny and ensuring that the beacon of freedom and opportunity that is the United States remains alight for generations to come.
In the face of these challenges, we must remember that the power to shape the future of America lies not in the hands of a few, but in the collective will of its people. Let us rise to the occasion, informed by the truths Hanson has laid bare, and commit ourselves anew to the enduring ideals that have made America a shining city upon a hill.
The title is incorrect. Instead of “The 11 Alarming Ways Biden is Dismantling America” it should be “The 11 Alarming Ways Democrats Are Dismantling America.” “Democrats”, not “Biden.” Biden is barely in control of himself, let alone the country. He is a puppet for Democrats behind the scenes (likely Obama backed by Soros and the WEF) that are forcing these policies on us. The puppet masters are perfectly happy to have an incompetent like Biden in the Oval Office to take the blame. This is why they are letting Biden run again. If he loses, it is a only temporary setback since they developed tactics during Trump’s first term to prevent any Republican President from permanently reversing the above policies, until such time as they can put another puppet in the White House again.
I agree with you Rick – your title is more appropriate!
Obama is behind this and why most can’t see this astounds me..it’s all by design and Obama’s goal when he was illegally installed as President..Biden couldn’t tie his own shoes if someone didn’t do it for him…All this is right out of the marxist playbook and has to be stopped…China’s mouth is watering just waiting to take over..
Pure and simple. Biden is the worst TRAITOR this nation has ever known. And just like the first Democrat POTUS he desires to be a dictator
Jaybol spot on the CIA installed Obama, Obama with the CIA installed Biden.
interesting
Obama laid seeds to this years ago & allies & following Marxist plans
My guess is the final push into the trash heap of history for the US will be Biden’s removing any pretense of securing our borders. We may be able to crawl out of a painful debt crisis, but we can never report millions of illegal aliens AND their anchor babies. There are simply to many of them doing what Biden designed them to do, overwhelm the system and the nation.
We are fast losing our language, culture and American way of life and it appears no one is going to stop the tsunami of illegals pouring in.
Thanks Victor. Were you present when the old police chief issued the warning and lessons learned to the citizens of his community?
If not, see what an old cop reported many years ago about the likes of Joe Biden, the swamp, the establishment, and the so called ‘Progressive Movement’. That same old cop had Joe Biden along with a whole gaggle of well known politicians/bureaucrats/others in the subject block of a major international investigation during Joe’s first term in the Senate. You guessed it! The investigation was classified and buried by the Carter administration. A news reporter put the old cop’s remarks in an article in her newspaper the Sunday following his meeting with the town meeting. She use the title of an unpublished book the old cop had written.
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
America, may an old soldier/cop ask you a question? What will it take for you to stand up and take back those rights given to you by God and promised to be respected/protected by our founding fathers when they drafted the Constitution?
In light of all the activities of the oligarchy/establishment/others seemingly bent on destroying everything we cops and soldiers ‘supposedly’ have spent/are spending our careers and in far too many cases our lives defending, I am just asking where most Americans stand in regards to their country and their roles/rights as citizens. Seems the arrival of Donald J. Trump followed by Biden’s theft of the Presidency has stripped us all naked to expose not only the sores on our bodies, but those on our souls as well!
The lessons learned presented below may give you a glimpse into the inner world of a government that devotes most of its time/energy to ruling you versus serving/protecting you from the vantage point of one who served in government from the municipal through the federal level as a soldier and cop. See if you can determine which of the lessons learned presented below were pre-Trump versus post-Trump?
Note: Most of the lessons learned presented below were originally drafted in the late eighties as the prelude to a book titled: ‘Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America, You’ve Been Had!’ The Department of Defense denied permission to publish the book in that they classified an investigation detailed therein that named a gaggle of politicians and bureaucrats at every level of government as subjects. Three of those subjects have gone on to be President of the United States of America!

Soldier/Cop’s Lessons Learned
* The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a survey of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance to the veterans are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers chose “candor” is because candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier the lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! Note: It has been my observation that, democrats are masters of co-mission while republicans are masters of omission!
*The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the political class, the bureaucracy, the media, and academia.
*The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the so-called media.
*Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier and a cop I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards. Note: Prior to retiring to the deep woods I referred to most of the before mentioned folks as self-serving, witless, cowardly, piss-ants. After a short time in the woods I came to know that piss-ants are neither self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
*The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
*Soldiers (most especially ground combat soldiers) do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, nor apple pie. Before all else, soldiers engaged in ground combat fight for their fellow soldiers and their unit. Why? Because in every war/police action/whatever in the twentieth century and thus far in the twenty-first, the strategies/tactics adopted by mostly incompetent/corrupt military and civilian managers (notice, I said managers not leaders) were/are designed to benefit the military/industrial/political complex with little regard for those personnel charged with employing the same. In short, the American soldier has been a mercenary throughout most of our history and were officially branded the same in 1969 with the creation of the “All Volunteer Army (VOLAR)”.
*There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
*American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs, and their vision and hearing impaired 50% or more.
*After carefully watching the whole of the political class for many years I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
*Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes total control of the government? Take your pick, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..!
*If the so-called ‘progressive movement’ continues unchecked a number of able veterans/soldiers/cops are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
*The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, fascism, or capitalism. The elites of the world have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, wars, etc., to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whoever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is Feudalism!
*Arrogance coupled with ignorance equals stupidity.

FJB isn’t dismantling anything. He can’t even dress himself. This is all on George Soros. He is the one behind obama’s initial destruction of America. obama isn’t that smart either, he’s just a slick ‘shuck-n-jive’ front-man that fit the profile Soros wanted. Soros and big players in the WEF are the ones doing the actual string-pulling behind the systematic destruction of America. It was Soros who implanted his people in obama’s administration and the federal bureaucracy (Deep State) to facilitate the dismantling of America. Up to 80% of FJB ‘s administration are carry-overs from the obama years. Soros’ other plan of attack was funding all the radical politicians whose mission was to foment chaos in our local, state and federal elected offices. Money talks and Soros has spread plenty of it around to gain control of America. If they succeed in stealing the 2024 elections as they did in 2020 and 2022, America and the Free World are lost.
well said Jim!
