VDH UltraA Life of Comically Calamitous Close Calls: Introduction
Victor Davis Hanson I’ve been very lucky in dodging bullets but even more unlucky in finding them. Over some 55 years, I found myself in some of the worst situations imaginable. And post facto, I realize that I got myself into these jams due to my own negligence and lack of circumspection. And yet somehow, […]
‘Demonstrably Untrue’: VDH Rebuts Tucker Carlson’s Israel, Qatar Claims

Slouching Toward Open Season on Jews
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Jews celebrating Hanukkah were just slaughtered by Muslim gunmen on an Australian beach, in an imitation of the October 7 massacres.

Can the Dark Ages Return?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Western civilization arose in the 8th century B.C. Greece. Some 1,500 city-states emerged from a murky, illiterate 400-year-old Dark Age. That chaos followed the utter collapse of the palatial culture of Mycenaean Greece. But what reemerged were constitutional government, rationalism, liberty, freedom of expression, self-critique, and free markets—what we know […]

VDH UltraHow DEI Hurts America, Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson 5. Why is DEI dying? Like all commissariats, DEI is expensive. It requires legions of drone commissars to monitor and audit ideology—in this case, tribal essentialism. How many nonproductive auditors as overhead can a society afford? Go back into time and ask the former Soviet Union or Mao’s failed Cultural Revolutionaries? And […]
VDH UltraHow DEI Hurts America, Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson 4. What were the costs to America of DEI? Once race, sex, and sexual orientation were pronounced proof of victimization, then preferences and exemptions obviated the very tenets of civilization, law, and culture. Swarm the border, enter unlawfully, reside illegally—and what followed? De facto amnesty and non-enforcement of laws. Subsidies for housing, […]

It’s Affordability, Stupid?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The recent Democratic cry of “affordability” is ironic in many ways. The left-wing narrative of Trump hyperinflation was one of desperation and came only after previous memes had failed to resonate. The 2025 generic “dictator,” “fascist,” and “Nazi” smear points never helped the left much. Nor did the nihilist government […]
