The Drossy Touch of Joe Biden
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Almost everything Joe Biden has touched since entering office has turned to dross. None of his blame-gaming, none of his distortions, none of his fantasies and unreality can mask that truth. The Afghan Catastrophe Seven months ago, Afghanistan was relatively quiet—with about 10,000 vestigial NATO troops, including 2,500 Americans, […]
VDH UltraHistorian’s Corner: Ten Easy Ways to Unwind a Nation In Just A Few Months
Part Four: Steps 9-10 Erase Customs and Traditions Ending a nation requires discrediting its past. Start with Year Zero reinvention. That is, 1776 and 1787-9 are no longer our foundational dates. Instead 1619, a made-up date supposedly when the first African-American slave stepped onto North America, marks the foul birth of the now despised country, […]
The Traditionalist: Special on Afghanistan
Listen to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss the current events in Afghanistan.
Ripples of Kabul
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness The American-nurtured Afghan military of the last 20 years that had suffered thousands of prior casualties evaporated in a few hours in the encirclement of Kabul. Enlistees apparently calculated that their own meager chances with the premodern Taliban were still better than fighting as a dependency of the postmodern […]
VDH UltraHistorian’s Corner: Ten Easy Ways to Unwind a Nation in Just a Few Months
Part Three: Steps 6-8. VI. Trash the Productive Class Why are frackers considered not just polluters, but near criminal enemies of the planet? Thanks to them, abundant natural gas has reduced US carbon footprints in a manner that exceeds those nations in the Paris Climate Accord. Thanks to them, the US has no strategic interests […]

Are We in a Revolution and Don’t Even Know It?
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Institutions are being absorbed not just by the woke apparat, but by an array of ideologies that seeks to destroy them. The collective madness that ensued from the pandemic, the quarantine, the self-induced recession, the George Floyd killing and subsequent months of exempted riots, the election year, and the […]
VDH UltraOur Afghan Agonies
Victor Davis Hanson // The Blade of Perseus Joe Biden could easily have stayed quiet about his intentions in Afghanistan—or at least leave the enemy in some doubt. He might have maintained US air facilities to support Afghan forces, and kept the major cities secure as they were between 2017-20 under Trump, who himself […]

VDH UltraHistorian’s Corner: Ten Easy Ways to Unwind a Nation in Just a Few Months
Part Two: Steps 4-5 IV. Ruin the Currency The work of Milton Friedman and the Chicago School of economists, and the pragmatic tough policies of Paul Volker broke modern American inflation 40 years ago. We know what causes it and why—printing money in lieu of commensurate increases in population, productivity and national wealth for short-term […]
The Culturalist: The Deep State

American Armageddon
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago. The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time […]
VDH UltraHistorian’s Corner: Ten Easy Ways to Unwind a Nation in Just a Few Months
Part I: Steps 1-3 I. Destroy the Law Joe Biden has simply destroyed federal immigration law. He broke his oath to execute faithfully our statutes by allowing literally hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated, untested, and illegally entering foreign nationals to storm the southern border. By fiat, Biden simply erased away any demarcation between Texas and […]

The Great Leftist Bully Boy Hope
The refined and moral Left places itself on a pedestal, above the fray—and as such it has a natural attraction to those in its midst who do not. Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness By any empirical measure, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has proven utterly disingenuous, and far more so than average politicians. Unlike […]
VDH UltraEeyore’s Cabinet: Trumpistics
Victor Davis Hanson // VDH’s Blade of Perseus Part Two: The Phoenix Trump? August is not January. In politics even a week is a lifetime. Mirabile dictu, Trump’s banishment from social media, means far less of his scattergun tweeting. His memos were rarer, his thoughts better composed. Although the media monopolized the public image of Trump, […]

VDH UltraEeyore’s Cabinet: Trumpistics
Victor Davis Hanson // VDH’s Blade of Perseus Part One: Trump, RIP? In January-February 2021, Trump’s future was problematic. He was kicked off social media. And without his accustomed megaphones, Trump for the first time in years was unable to reach supporters and the public at large. Thus, the hate-Trump media filled the void and […]
