Victor Davis Hanson: Comey Joins Long Line of Lying Left-Wing FBI Officials Former FBI Director James Comey is under the microscope again, this time hiding behind a ridiculous "seashell" defense after allegedly posting a veiled threat against Donald Trump. While the legacy media rushes to dismiss the "86/47" beach message as a harmless coincidence, Comey’s long record of selective amnesia and partisan leaks tells a much darker story. From orchestrating the Russia collusion hoax to shielding Hillary Clinton's illegal homebrew servers, this latest stunt highlights the sheer arrogance of a thoroughly weaponized justice system. It is past time to hold the architects of the Deep State accountable for years of lying to Congress and betraying the American people, argues @VDHanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

"You can see why the Left’s activist class, their NGO network, and their hordes of government bureaucrats remain so committed to the cause despite obvious governing failures. Those failures are your problem, not theirs." My latest in @DailySignal on how NYC Mayor Mamdani is funding an activist army. dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/mam…

.@LeeStrobel —once an atheist, now a devout Christian and bestselling author of more than 40 books—is the executive producer of a new documentary called "The Story of Everything." The film traces scientific and mathematical evidence for God's existence — from the precise laws governing the stars to the spiral structure of DNA. Thomas Griffin reviews it:  dailysignal.com/2026/05/03/doc…

Spirit Airlines shut down overnight Saturday—canceling all flights, stranding passengers, and eliminating one of the only affordable air travel options for working-class Americans. The collapse was accelerated by a doubling of jet fuel prices due to the Iran war. dailysignal.com/2026/05/03/ame…

Fairfax County Public Schools cut 275 teaching positions and increased class sizes—citing "chronic underfunding." Then it launched a taxpayer-funded Ph.D. program for administrators already earning over $200,000 per year, including its Chief of Schools ($289,565) and multiple Assistant Superintendents ($228,000+). The district's superintendent earns $445,353. She called the situation a "crisis." dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/fai…

📣 BREAKING: The U.S. sank seven Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Iran also struck the United Arab Emirates with missiles and drones. "It's all they have left," said @POTUS. @CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper confirmed the U.S. has reached out to dozens of ships and shipping companies to encourage traffic flow through the strait. This story is developing. @GCaldwell_news reports: dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/u-s…

🔥@RepFine: "How can you serve in the government of the United States if you’ve pledged allegiance to another country?"

In a video with over 12 MILLION views, LA Mayor candidate @spencerpratt came after @KarenBassLA and @nithyavraman for what he says is “failed leadership.” “They don’t have to live in the mess they created…they let my home burn down.” —@spencerpratt Thank you for your comments to @DailySignal Spencer!

Reality TV star @spencerpratt's LA mayoral campaign ad just hit 12 million views. In it, he shows Mayor @KarenBassLA's intact, posh neighborhood contrasted with his own, which was devastated by the Palisades fires. "They don't have to live in the mess they created… they let my home burn down," said Pratt. @angelina_talks reports: dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/cam…

Newly revealed emails show @JoeBiden DOJ attorneys fantasized about prosecuting Catholic nuns for attending the Jan. 6 rally. The @FBI targeted Latin Mass attendees as extremists. @KamalaHarris tried to disqualify a federal judge for joining the Knights of Columbus. @CortesSteve says this is part of a broader War on Faith—and many bishops are siding with the wrong side. dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/dem…

Republican members of the House and Senate are pushing legislation to ban dual citizens from serving in Congress—arguing that pledging allegiance to another country is incompatible with writing America's laws. "This is literal foreign interference," said @RepFine. And Freedom Caucus Chairman @RepAndyHarrisMD said: "Serving in Congress requires a single, unwavering allegiance to the United States." @pedrobrodrigue7 dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/gop…

Justice Alito temporarily paused the 5th Circuit's ruling blocking mail-order mifepristone—but Alliance Defending Freedom wants the public to know: "This is NOT a reversal of Friday's decision. Rather, it's the run-of-the-mill pause that Justices typically use to consider issues raised in an emergency application." The stay is effective through May 11. The fight continues. @FredLucasWH reports: dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/ali…

Kamala Harris' Brand New Delusion About the GOP! Tony Kinnett breaks down clips from a recent Kamala Harris speaking engagement where she proposes multiple strategies and descriptions of the GOP that are not only wrong, but borderline schizophrenic.

Secretary @marcorubio visits Italy and the Vatican this week, amid growing U.S. frustration with NATO allies who have refused to join combat operations against Iran or help secure the Strait of Hormuz. @POTUS has already announced withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany—and says "we're cutting way further than 5,000." He has also floated pulling troops from Italy and Spain. @GCaldwell_news dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/rub…

.@POTUS' new Surgeon General nominee—@NBSaphierMD, a radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering—is a pro-life win and a potential MAHA flashpoint. Pro-life community give her a resounding win, but MAHA advocates say she gets an "F" and the nomination is "a catastrophic mistake." @virginiagmck reports:  dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/tru…

President @realDonaldTrump on Sunday, announcing "Project Freedom" to guide stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz: "This is a Humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States. Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for large-scale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner." As many as 20,000 seafarers are stranded on around 2,000 vessels in the Persian Gulf. @TheElizMitchell reports: dailysignal.com/2026/05/04/us-…

.@RepBrandonGill asked a pro-abortion law professor at a congressional hearing to describe her favorite method of performing abortions. She refused. He proceeded to describe several surgical abortion methods and asked her opinion of each. She refused every time. If abortion is "basic healthcare," why can't its most prominent legal defenders describe it out loud? @fresnojohnny explains what that silence reveals:  dailysignal.com/2026/05/03/abo…

Seven million Americans use nicotine pouches. Only 0.6% of high schoolers use them frequently. The @US_FDA says they're safer than cigarettes. But, @SenSchumer says, "It's a pouch packed with problems!" Here's @JohnStossel on why government always makes things worse when it limits your choices: dailysignal.com/2026/05/03/zyn…

What would it take for @SenSchumer to disqualify a Democrat Senate candidate? ...Not a 20-year Nazi tattoo. ...Not praising Hamas. ...Not being a self-described communist who endorsed "revolutionary violence." ...Not calling rural white Americans "racist and stupid." Schumer and @grahamformaine have already endorsed Graham Platner. @davidharsanyi asks: What sin could actually get a progressive shunned? dailysignal.com/2026/05/03/naz…
