In The New Criterion, Victor Davis Hanson compares the forces behind the first and second elections of Donald Trump and finds them categorically different. The first election aimed to halt America’s perceived leftward drift and overall deterioration; the second intends to roll it back entirely, leading Hanson to describe the second Trump term as a counter-revolution. But, warns Hanson, the challenges this time are also much more formidable.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
