Victor Davis Hanson ranked President Donald Trump in the top five of best U.S. presidents and former President Joe Biden among the worst three presidents when he joined Mark Levin Saturday night.  “I think [Trump] is in the top five because he’s not waging a revolution as he’s accused. He’s waging a counterrevolution,” said Hanson, a senior contributor for The Daily Signal, on Levin’s Fox News show “Life, Liberty & Levin.”   Trump isn’t just focused on fixing issues in politics, he’s working on everything from the border to the Smithsonian museums to the universities, Hanson explained.  “I don’t think we’ve ever had a president that looked at 360 degrees and said the country needs to be brought back radically to the middle or it’s going to be destroyed,” Hanson said. “And he’s done that in the first 10 months in an extraordinary way.”  Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Isn’t Leading a Revolution — He’s Leading a Counter-Revolution to Save America@VDHanson ranked President Trump in the top five best U.S. presidents when he joined Mark Levin on Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin” Saturday night.Trump isn’t just… pic.twitter.com/1hj1MUWr0L— The Daily Signal (@DailySignal) October 19, 2025 A big part of Trump’s success is that he learned a lot from his first term, Hanson said. In his first term, “he didn’t look at the resumes” and was instead handed “a lot of illustrious names” which ended with many people “thwarting him.”   This time, Trump had four years to ponder these things all “while he was a victim of this lawfare and other things,” Hanson said.   Trump focused on getting people in his administration “who are force multipliers,” and he’s “consciously, deliberately, [and] carefully” worked to “redirect almost everything about American life that the progressives had altered radically the last 30 years,” Hanson explained.  One of the most striking things about Trump is that he actually stopped the progressive project compared to every Republican before him who has only tried to “alter” and “slow down” the  progressives’ work, Hanson said.  “I can’t think of any other major Republican candidate or president who would’ve taken on that,” Hanson said. “The Bush’s didn’t do it, and John McCain wouldn’t have done it. Romney wouldn’t have done it, Bob Dole wouldn’t have done it.”   Biden Near the Bottom  Biden is “in the bottom three” with Millard Fillmore and James Buchanan because he wasn’t “really intellectually or cognitively aware of his surroundings,” Hanson said.   “I think there was a cabal of former Obama people—and his staff, his wife, his family—that were running the country,” Hanson said.   Biden “was a useful tool” that was used in 2020 to stop the openly radical candidates like Bernie Sanders from getting the nomination, putting on a front that he was “a moderate so they could push an even more radical agenda.”   “He’s a special case, and I mean that in a negative fashion,” Hanson said. “So in some ways I think he was the worst president—if he was a president. I think he was a president that never was.” The post Victor Davis Hanson Reveals How He’d Rank Trump, Biden Among US Presidents appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The story of one of the 90s most pivotal albums

The Israeli military carried out numerous strikes in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday after accusing Hamas terrorists of shooting at IDF soldiers. The escalation of violence potentially places the U.S.-led ceasefire deal in jeopardy.

It looks like we now have an idea why the US has sent all that military hardware to the Caribbean. It’s not only about Venezuela. President Trump made it clear with his latest Truth Social post. If the President of Columbia  doesn’t  get rid of the massive drug fields, the US will. He is holding […] The post Here’s One Reason the US Has That Military Presence in the Caribbean appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

We now have even more information as to why we have a heavy presence in the Caribbean. Al Qaeda-like terrorists have a home base in South America, and they are dealing drugs, which are killing or destroying Americans, many of our youth. Finally, someone is doing something. However US media will be more concerned about […] The post Sec. of War Announces a Kinetic Strike of an ELN Transport appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

President Donald Trump put Colombian President Gustavo Petro on notice in an early Sunday morning announcement, calling on him to rein in drug production in his country and threatening to do it for him if he chose not do so on his own. Trump lashed out at Petro via his Truth Social platform, saying that he planned to put a stop to all payments and subsidies that the United States gave to Colombia would be stopped if Petro — “a low-rated and unpopular leader” — didn’t comply with his wishes. pic.twitter.com/RkULBLNrzI — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) October 19, 2025 “President Gustavo Petro, of Colombia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia,” Trump posted. “It has become the biggest business in Colombia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLOMBIA.” “The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc,” he added. “Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Just one day prior, Trump posted about another strike on narco-terrorists in a submarine headed toward the United States, saying that the two terrorists who’d survived the attack were being returned to their home countries — Ecuador and Colombia. pic.twitter.com/3oRyqbFY0X — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) October 18, 2025 “It was my great honor to destroy a very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route. U.S. Intelligence confirmed this vessel was loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics. There were four known narcoterrorists on board the vessel. Two of the terrorists were killed,” he posted. “At least 25,000 Americans would die if I allowed this submarine to come ashore. The two surviving terrorists are being returned to their Countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Under my watch, the United States of America will not tolerate narcoterrorists trafficking illegal drugs, by land or by sea. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
