From An Angry Reader: Subject: You are a racist idiot Your articles and ideas lower the IQ of this country every time they are published. The racism you employ in articles about Black Lives Matter, Crime, and pretty much anything you write is so disgusting its hard to swallow. Truly die in a hole. ————————————————————— […]
The Ancient War Between the Press and the President
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness The media are furious that President Trump serially decries “fake news.” He often rants that journalists who traffic in it are “enemies of the people.” Reporters have compared Trump to mass murderers such as Stalin and Hitler because of his dislike of the press. Trump may be crude to […]
The Police Were Not Policed
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review No doubt Russia must be watched for its chronic efforts to sow more chaos in American elections — despite Barack Obama’s naïve assertion in 2016 that no entity could possibly ever rig a U.S. election, given the decentralization of state voting. Lately the heads of four U.S. intelligence and […]
The Elites’ War on the Deplorables
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Recently Politico reporter Marc Caputo was angered at rude hecklers at a Trump rally who booed beleaguered CNN correspondent Jim Acosta. So Caputo tweeted of them, “If you put everyone’s mouths together in this video, you’d get a full set of teeth.” Politico had not employed such a crass journalist since before […]

The American Art of Renewal
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review ‘Make America Great Again” is the oft-caricatured slogan of the Donald Trump presidency. When Trump was elected, he boasted of jump-starting the economy to achieve an annual economic growth rate of 4 percent. Experts laughed him off as a naïf who did not understand that structural changes in demography […]
Mueller’s Problem Is Not Trumpers’ Zeal — but the Perception of Inequality under the Law
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review What is disturbing about the Mueller investigation is not per se that a special counsel is looking into charges of wrongdoing known as “collusion,” but that he is indicting or leveraging suspects, amid a larger landscape of related perceived wrongdoers, who so far have not been subject to the […]

The Origins of Our Second Civil War
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review How, when, and why has the United States now arrived at the brink of a veritable civil war? Almost every cultural and social institution — universities, the public schools, the NFL, the Oscars, the Tonys, the Grammys, late-night television, public restaurants, coffee shops, movies, TV, stand-up comedy — has […]
Progressive Regression
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Donald Trump has certainly changed the rules of presidential behavior, through his nonstop campaign rallies, tweets, and press conferences. What his critics call lowering the bar of presidential decorum by unfettered and often crude invective, Trump dubs the “new presidential.” His style has become a sort of “don’t-tread-on-me” combativeness. […]

From An Angry Reader: Subject: NATO Maybe it’s my old age but you seem to be contradicting yourself. You explain quite correctly how useless it is and then suggest that you think strengthen it is a good idea??? Looks like trump wants to dump it knowing Germany will never pony up. Have suggested that article […]

From An Angry Reader: Your article…about NATOs challenge is Germany, not America. Sir, With all respect but before you write any article you should learn about history. Germany did not start both World Wars. You might want to do some research before writing anything. Very sad how little people here actually know about history and […]
Reforming NATO Is the Only Way to Save It
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Donald Trump recently ignited yet another firestorm by hedging when asked whether protecting the newest NATO member, tiny Montenegro, might be worth risking a war. Of course, the keystone of NATO was always the idea that all members, strong and weak, are in theory equal. A military attack against […]
Continental Drift
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review According to Pew International polls, Trump is now intensely disliked in Europe. His endless spats over European trade, the costs of NATO, and differing approaches to Vladimir Putin’s Russia acerbated already tense U.S.–European relations. But Trump neither created European or transatlantic crises nor can be of much help in […]
Russianism
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review Trump’s critics need a scapegoat to explain why they haven’t managed to vanquish him. Russianism is a psychological malady in which furor at Donald Trump’s election victory and presidency — and the ensuing depression resulting from the inability to abort it — finds release through fixation on Russia. ‘Extremely […]
Just How Far Will the Left Go?
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness There was no honeymoon for the unlikely winner of the 2016 election. Progressives have in succession tried to sue to overturn Trump’s victory using several different approaches. First on the bogus claim of fraudulent voting machines. Then they sought to subvert the Electoral College by bullying electors into renouncing […]
Putin’s False Equivalency
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review We are in dangerous times. Amid the hysteria over the Russian summit, the Mueller collusion probe, nonstop unsupported allegations and rumors, the Strzok and Page testimonies, the ongoing congressional investigations into improper CIA and FBI behavior, and a completely unhinged media, there is a growing crisis of rising tensions […]
NATO’s Challenge Is Germany, Not America
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review As the most populous and most affluent of European nations, Germany insidiously dominates Europe During the recent NATO summit meeting, a rumbustious Donald Trump tore off a thin scab of niceties to reveal a deep and old NATO wound — one that has predated Trump by nearly 30 years […]
Peter Beinart’s Amnesia
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review NATO’s problems, Putin’s aggression, and American passivity predate Trump, who had my vote in 2016 — a vote I don’t regret. Peter Beinart has posted a trademark incoherent rant, this time against Rich Lowry and meover our supposed laxity in criticizing Trumpian over-the-top rhetoric on NATO. At various times, I […]
Ten Commandments of the Supreme Court
Victor Davis Hanson // National Review What is sacrosanct? Whatever advances progressive causes. 1) Right to Left. The majority of post-war Republican Supreme Court nominees, who were initially perceived as conservative, turned liberal on the bench (Harry Blackmun, William Brennan, David Souter, John Paul Stevens, Earl Warren), or went from right-wing to center-right or centrist (Warren Burger, […]
