VDH UltraLest We Forget 2020 and the Agendas Behind It
Historian’s Corner I think we have forgotten just how much the idea of a national quarantine in 2020 was seen as a way to “fundamentally transform” the United States.

VDH Ultra20 Words That Mean Nothing
Victor Davis Hanson Words Matter cis—fancy Latin preposition used by those who know no Latin class—a now taboo word that died around 2020 cultural appropriation—not dying your hair blond dark money—never used again since it is now all leftwing diversity—segregation revival equality—far worse than “inequality” equity—capitalism for me, Marxism for you fragility—a slur used by […]
Last Night’s Election: Why Glenn Youngkin Won
Victor Davis Hanson Blade of Perseus Yes, the Glenn Youngkin campaign was supercharged by local and state issues. No Virginians, like no Americans, want to be called racists.

Here we are in the closing months of 2021, experiencing the most disastrous presidency since that of James Buchanan.
