VDH UltraWhat Should a President Trump Do? Part Two: The Border (Continued)
Victor Davis Hanson Next, who of the long-residing illegal aliens would be eligible for legal-resident status, and from there choose or not choose to apply on their own for U.S. citizenship? Most would agree that this third category should include spouses of U.S. citizens; those with lengthy U.S. residence from childhood; and others with lengthy […]
Our Brezhnev, Our Pravda, Our Soviet Union. . .
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Leonid Brezhnev led the former Soviet Union as General Secretary of the Communist Party until 1982. But like most Russian apparatchiks who excessively smoked, drank, and gained weight, he aged prematurely. Also like them, his disabilities never led to his abdication. By Brezhnev’s late sixties and early seventies, he was too […]
Justices, Candidates, and Military Technology
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss the Animal-Farm Democrats, Biden led the attack on Justice Clarence Thomas, the military needing to update its technology, especially drones, the relevance of RFK Jr., the elections in England brings in the Labor Party, and lessons from leaders with generous spirits.
VDH UltraWhat Should a President Trump Do? Part One: The Border
Victor Davis Hanson One would expect Trump first to finish the wall as soon as possible, even if that entailed extending it to the Gulf and through difficult terrain, fixing weak spots in the existing wall, and fighting nonstop lawsuits, internal administrative-state obstructions, and mass leftwing hysteria. Logically, he would simultaneously stop catch-and-release and force […]

Subject: Proposed deal That was actually a pretty good deal you suggested. I’m afraid the trust level Putin holds for the west is near zero. No cease fire until an agreement is reached, according to Russia. Besides, given Russian superiority on the battlefield, I suspect they want Odessa. Some say Russian troops up to the […]
The Faustian Bargain
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler to hear about the Biden-Stephanopoulos interview, Kamala Harris the Agnew appointment, California voters their own worse enemy, Biden makes us ask “Is a president necessary?”, and Trump v. Harris.
Bidengate and the Doom Loop
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The entire 2019-20 Biden candidacy and subsequent presidency were predicated on a rotten Faustian bargain. A hale Joe Biden would feign his aw-shucks, Joe from Scranton schtick. And an ossified working-class Joe’s camouflage would get the hard left elected—especially thanks to the changes in balloting laws that often saw only […]
Immunity, Panic, and Presidential Speeches
Listen in to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc as they discuss the news of the week: SCOTUS rules on presidential immunity, the Biden team in full panic, European elections favor the right parties, US bases in Europe on high alert, Hunter sues Fox News, and Newsom’s post-debate speech.
Ukraine and the Winter War, 1939-1940
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness In early World War II, on November 30, 1939, a Soviet-Russian army invaded Finland in a surprise massive attack. The Finns were eventually outnumbered nearly 3 to 1. The population of the Soviet Union in 1940 was 50 times larger than that of Finland’s. Finland’s former anti-Soviet ally, Nazi Germany, […]
Fake Gaza Famine, Real Ukraine Meatgrinder, and California Purgatory

Victor, I do enjoy reading your articles and watching you comment on TV. In your article (the west is sick of the new woke Jihadism) you ended with the following statement “Yet the more violent campuses and streets become, the more clueless the mobs seem about the cascading public antipathy to what they do and […]
From the Debate Cauldron into the SCOTUS Fire
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss the cauldron of the debate, recent SCOTUS opinions, the unsustainable lies of the Biden admin, “doctor” Jill, and unelected bureaucrats creating law.
VDH UltraFrom a Not Angry Reader, Mark Shipp
Dear Victor Hanson A dear friend I met in work-related scenarios once explained that he grew up in a family of dedicated Democrats but that he’d had his eyes opened by listening to Mark Levin on talk radio. It made me curious, so I kept that name in mind. Not long after that I discovered […]
The Lies We Have Lived Through
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness After last Thursday’s debate, Biden himself laid to rest the Democratic lie that he was robust and in control of his faculties. In truth, he demonstrated to the nation that he is a sad, failing octogenarian who could not perform any job in America other than apparently the easy task […]
The Debate and Dante’s Inferno
Join the weekend episode with Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc to analyze the Biden-Trump debate, Biden administration’s Saudi-Israeli “Peace” Deal, China wanting to “crack skulls and spill blood,” and 16 stray economists. In the middle segment, VDH talks about Dante’s “Inferno.”
VDH UltraFeverish Dreaming About Covid with Covid. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson I once stayed in an old house on one professorial stint. The basement had a sewage leak. No one knew of it, given it had been locked up for the summer. When I arrived, the house was full of mold, or so I thought, despite living in a desert climate with no […]

Stop the Ukrainian Meatgrinder?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Nearly eleven months ago, in August 2023, the New York Times reported that U.S. officials had estimated that some 500,000 Russians and Ukrainians had been killed, wounded, or missing in the then 18-month Ukrainian War. Both Russia and Ukraine underreport their losses. Hundreds of thousands of additional casualties have followed […]
From Campaigning to Ballots: Democracy At Work
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler as they examine Trump Derangement Syndrome and the 1980 Reagan-Carter campaigns, legislation to address illegal immigration, a California water update, and whether Biden can be taken off the ballot.
