Germany is on the brink of national suicide—and it’s no accident.

What was once Europe’s economic powerhouse is now unraveling under green delusions, open borders, and paralyzing deindustrialization.

Victor Davis Hanson reveals the one party trying to save the nation from this nightmare.

But the elites just labeled them “extremists” for telling the truth.

🧵THREAD

Victor Davis Hanson opened with a warning—and it wasn’t subtle.

This week, Germany’s only major right-wing opposition party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), was officially labeled an “extremist” group by the country’s domestic intelligence agency, the BfV.

The designation sent shockwaves through the political landscape.

AfD immediately challenged it in court, prompting the agency to suspend enforcement while litigation proceeds.

But the damage, Hanson said, has already been done.

This move, he argued, wasn’t about public safety—it was about political control.

“Recently, the German government announced that it is going to label or maybe relabel the Alternative for Deutschland,” Hanson explained.

“The conservative party that has an antithetical agenda both to the German government of both liberal and conservative factions, but also to the EU in general.”

He said the classification ensures AfD will remain on the outside of political power, regardless of how many people support them.

“It will cement this aura that no government under their parliamentary democracy system will ask them to join to form a majority government,” Hanson said.

“So the process of ostracism and demonization of this party continues.”

And for what? The real issue, he said, is that AfD simply offers a different vision.

“The party is advocating an alternative for the way that Germany is going.”

So where is Germany going?

Hanson painted a bleak picture—of economic decline, energy failure, and political denial.

“If you look at what has become of Germany,” he said, “it has had two years of essentially no growth or negative growth.”

He noted the country finally reached its long-delayed NATO defense spending goal, pledging 2% of GDP—something it was supposed to do back in 2014.

But the milestone felt more like a bare-minimum box-check than a serious turning point.

“It just barely did it,” Hanson said.

Meanwhile, Germany has doubled down on green energy while dismantling its nuclear infrastructure, despite the country’s climate not being suited for solar reliance.

The results have been catastrophic.

German electricity costs are now roughly four times higher than those in the United States.

And that’s not just hitting households—it’s pushing away manufacturers and investors who can no longer justify doing business in the country.

“You can see what that’s going to do to German investment,” Hanson warned.

RFK Jr. and Team MAHA just launched a full-scale assault on America’s broken health system.

The system was designed to keep people sick—but now he has the team to dismantle it.

Dr. Makary exposed a baffling top priority at the FDA.

And Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said something about free speech and science that hit like a lightning bolt.

This is a must-see interview with four powerhouse minds.

Let’s roll the clips and break it all down.

🧵THREAD

📍Don’t forget to bookmark this post for later. These clips mark beginning of something special for America.

The moment RFK Jr. sat down with Bret Baier at HHS, you could tell something was different.

He wasn’t alone. Sitting beside him were three of the most talked-about names in health right now—Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, and Mehmet Oz.

They’re now running the NIH, FDA, and CMS.

This wasn’t just a symbolic lineup. It was a statement.

Kennedy is out to tear down what he calls America’s “sick care” system—a system, he says, that keeps people unwell because that’s where the money is.

“We’ve turned this country into a 'sick care' system rather than a health care system,” he said.

And for the first time, he believes he’s got a team that can actually change that.

“These are the people who are going to change that.”

What ties them together isn’t politics. It’s purpose.

“Friendship is based upon shared values,” he told Baier.

“And that’s the strongest bond that holds people together.”

REPORT: We looked into Pope Leo XIV’s background—and what we found raises serious questions.

He’s the first American pope in history. But as he takes the role of 267th pontiff, a disturbing allegation has come to light.

• While serving as Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, three women say they told him they were sexually abused as children by two priests under his leadership.

• They claim he told them the Church couldn’t investigate unless a civil complaint was filed.

• One of the accused priests was later transferred out of the area, officially for “health reasons.”

• The Church allegedly ignored the allegations for years—until one of the victims spoke out publicly on social media.

• Only then did the diocese reopen an investigation—but to this day, there’s been no official response.

• A report by an Italian journalist alleges Prevost (Pope Leo) actively avoided the case and failed to follow through.

We believe in innocent until proven guilty. But it is odd that he was chosen when he has these allegations hanging over him.

Our next story involves Kash Patel and the baffling comments he just made.

He says that Jeffrey Epstein DID kill himself.

In a mind-boggling exchange with Sen. John Kennedy, Patel claimed Epstein “hung himself in his cell”—despite the suspiciously convenient coincidence of broken cameras and sleeping guards.

Patel also confirmed that the government has possession of the Epstein files and is actively redacting details to “protect the victims.”

But multiple victims have publicly demanded the full, unredacted release.

So what’s going on here?

Pam Bondi promised the files months ago—yet all we’ve seen are delays, redactions, and silence. Now, we’re expected to believe Epstein killed himself.

Not going to lie. Very disappointed in our FBI and DOJ picks. It seems accountability won’t happen on its own; it’ll only come when the people demand it.

Donald Trump just dropped a massive new trade deal with the UK, his first since rolling out global tariffs.

And the markets are exploding.

Bitcoin just shot past $100,000 for the first time since February.

If you bought and held Bitcoin 4 years ago, you’d see a return of about 70% to 300%, depending on the timing.

But what if you could beat those gains without staring at charts, timing the market, or stressing over every dip?

There’s one company doing exactly that for everyday investors—no crypto knowledge required.

Their strategy? It’s changing everything.

Trump’s gain-of-function ban sounded like a huge win.

Many, including myself, celebrated.

Then we read the fine print—and discovered a massive red flag:

The US banned GOF research abroad—while quietly protecting it at home.

One key Trump ally is linked to Pfizer—and she’s actually helping block a major COVID whistleblower case.

Attorney Tom Renz breaks down all the details—and calls out who he sees as an obvious fraud inside Trump’s cabinet.

🧵 THREAD

The Trump administration’s gain-of-function announcement sounded like a big move, but it wasn’t the whole story.

Instead of shutting down dangerous research, the policy may actually be laying the groundwork to expand it.

Attorney and medical freedom hero Tom Renz (@RenzTom) broke everything down in our exclusive interview.

According to him, the new policy doesn’t end gain-of-function, it essentially “codifies it.”

In plain terms, the US says it won’t fund gain-of-function research in adversarial countries. But domestically? That same restriction doesn’t apply.

“They’re going to allow it under new regulations,” Renz said. “And by doing that, they’re essentially saying, ‘We’re fine with gain-of-function as long as it follows the current rules.’

“So in that way, they’re actually legitimizing gain-of-function work in this country, which is absolutely mind-blowing to me,” he added.

Victor Davis Hanson just shattered the media’s favorite lie about Trump.

For years, they’ve used fake polls to manipulate public opinion and crush his momentum.

But Hanson didn’t just say the polls were wrong. He showed they were rigged—by design.

Polling is now just a weapon, used to suppress Trump’s base and supercharge Democrat fundraising.

And once you hear the evidence, you’ll never trust another mainstream poll again.

🧵 THREAD

Lately, the media’s been pushing a familiar narrative: Trump is tanking in the polls.

But Victor Davis Hanson says that story doesn’t hold up—and once you see what’s behind the numbers, it starts to look a lot more like propaganda than polling.

So where did it all come from?

“We've touched on polls before,” Hanson said, “but I don't think I've seen anything quite as egregious in pollsters' bias as recently when they... purportedly surveyed the first 100 days of Donald Trump and the public reaction.”

Headlines immediately screamed: Worst first 100 days in history.

Trump’s approval supposedly dropped from 52 to 41 percent.

But as Hanson pointed out, none of that lined up with reality.

“The economic news was pretty good,” he explained.

Trump has been racking up the wins:

“Job growth was just spectacular—over 170,000 jobs. Inflation was down. Energy prices were down. Corporate profits were up. There was a movement on the trade question. Ukraine, still—there was no bad news except the controversy and chaos of a counterrevolution.”

So why were the polls painting such a grim picture?

Hanson believes the goal wasn’t to reflect public opinion—it was to steer it.

“What were the pollsters trying to tell us,” he asked, “or were they trying to manipulate us? I think it’s the latter.”

He pointed to analysis from Larry Kudlow, who found that top polls—like those from The New York Times and The Washington Post—deliberately underrepresented Trump voters.

“They were deliberately not counting people who surveyed that they were Trump voters in 2024,” Hanson said.

“That was half the country.”

Even worse:

“They were only polling about a third,” he added.

“Think of that. A third of the people that said they voted for Trump, they polled—not half. So of course the results were going to be disputed or suspect.”

And this isn’t the first time.

Hanson reminded us that pollsters have repeatedly missed the mark—in 2016, 2020, and again in 2024.

“They said they had learned their lessons. And they were way off in 2024.”
