Harris Is Recycling the 2020 Democrat Campaign
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election through a successful tripartite subterfuge. One, Biden never really campaigned.

VDH UltraThe DEI Drag: Part One
Victor Davis Hanson America has reverted to a pre-civilizational fixation on tribe and superficial appearance over character and expertise—and the result has been a disaster.

VDH UltraThe Long Road to November. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson We still do not know whether most culpability for the failed security during the Trump attempted assassination was the fault of the Secret Service, the FBI, local law enforcement, or all three combined.

VDH UltraWhat Should a President Trump Do? Part Six: DEI/Tribalism/Woke
Victor Davis Hanson The United States until recently was the world’s only multiracial, well-functioning, large democracy/constitutional republic. India and Brazil are plagued by poverty, violence, and political discord. Other nations do not attempt multiracial/multireligious/multiethnic paradigms lest the project turns out like the Balkans, Rwanda, or Iraq. Instead, nations usually encompass blood-and-soil commonalities of religion, race, […]
@VDHanson: Democracy Really Is Dying in Darkness—But by Whom?
Democracy Really Is Dying in Darkness—But by Whom?

A Decade of Conspiracists?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Who has most peddled conspiracy allegations the last nine years—all of them false and nearly all of them influencing national elections and public policies?

VDH UltraWhat Should a President Trump Do? Part Five: The Budget (Continued)
