Our Three Silent Mice
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Biden President Biden was forced, unceremoniously and unwillingly, to abdicate from his impending reelection nomination.

The Harris Flop Would Be Scarier Than Her Flip
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Joe Biden won in 2020 on the premise that until the November election, he would pose as good ol’ Joe from Scranton and not scare voters.

VDH UltraTen Questions for Kamala Harris: Part One
Victor Davis Hanson Already, the Harris election team has slipped a bit.

VDH UltraThe DEI Drag: Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Once race trumps merit, a public becomes Sovietized; that is, people descend into rank cynicism, distrust, and scorn.
