VDH UltraWhy Are Pro-Hamas Rallies So Anti-Semitic, Anti-American, and Obnoxious? Part Two: DEI
The epidemic of Diversity/Equity/Inclusion ideology fuels much of the current violence on campus and in the street, and for two reasons. One, we are now in our third year of reparatory admissions. That is, the SAT/ACT required admission exams have been absent on elite campuses for two or even three years. Racial quotas have severely […]
It Stopped Making Sense: Radicalizing the University
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler talk about protests as a class thing, faculty being as immature as students, universities as propaganda zones, a new approach to US immigration, and the new Left’s inception with the Obama administration.
VDH UltraWhy Are Pro-Hamas Rallies So Anti-Semitic, So Anti-American—and So Obnoxious? Part One. Our Guests
Victor Davis Hanson After seven months of pro-Hamas chaos, a good question arises over what exactly the anti-Semitic demonstrators won’t do? Crash Easter services at St. Patrick’s Cathedral? Interrupt Christmas celebrations? Deface the White House wall, the Lincoln Memorial, and veterans’ cemeteries? Shut down commuter traffic on freeways and block cars on key bridges such […]
The End of Old Left-wing Mythologies
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The current radical and often violent protests on mostly blue-state, supposedly elite campuses have exposed in toxic fashion what the left has become. And yet, in a paradoxical fashion, the campus insanity has offered the nation some moral clarity. What’s surprising is not that the demonstrators are violent and nihilist, […]

VDH UltraDear Angry Reader Greg Allison, Part Three: Ukraine
7. This part of the world is not unlike the convoluted history of the former Yugoslavia. Crimea itself had been part of the Ottoman Empire but was annexed to Russia in 1783 by Catherine the Great. It remained Soviet until the USSR’s breakup in 1991 (Note that the Russians lost over 500,000 casualties vainly trying to save Crimea from the Nazis in […]

@VDHanson: Beware of The Deadly Progressive Touch
Beware of The Deadly Progressive Touch Recently, viral videos have highlighted the furor—and narcissism—of progressive elites when they rarely face the consequences of their own actions. The most hilarious video was the defiant DA of New York’s Monroe County, dripping with… — Victor Davis Hanson (@VDHanson) April 28, 2024
Stop It: VDH’s Interview with Author Jeremy Carl
VDH interviews Jeremy Carl about his just released deeply researched and splendidly written book, The Unprotected Class. How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart.

Can The Current Universities Be Saved?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Elite higher education in America—long unquestioned as globally preeminent—is facing a perfect storm. Fewer applicants, higher costs, impoverished students, collapsing standards, and increasingly politicized and mediocre faculty reflect a collapse of the university system. The country is waking up to the reality that a bachelor’s degree no longer equates with […]
VDH UltraDear Angry Reader Greg Allison, Part Two: Ukraine
4. Putin crossed national boundaries (Georgia/Ossetia; Donbas; Crimea; the Kyiv area) in three of the last four American administrations (Bush, Obama, Biden), but not during the Trump administration. Most likely, Putin could not predict what Trump might do in response and so he was deterred. Thus, keep in mind that the leftwing claim that it is on the van of pro-Ukrainian support is contradicted by […]
VDH UltraDear Angry Reader Greg Allison: Part One
From an Angry Reader: Dr. Hanson: I have been such a big fan of yours for years. But I am so, so disappointed you suggested Ukraine should give up land and whatever else to “negotiate” an end to the war with Russia; essentially pay Russia for the horror it has brought to Ukraine. Russia deliberately […]

The Travesties of the Trump Trials
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Do not believe the White House/mainstream media-concocted narrative that the four criminal court cases—prosecuted by Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis—were not in part coordinated, synchronized, and timed to reach their courtroom psychodramatic finales right during the 2024 campaign season. These local, state, and federal Lilliputian agendas […]

From an Angry Reader: Norman Schwarzkopf: “I never want to be in a fair fight” … nothing wrong with preponderance of power — Proportional response is stupid and harmful. BUT do not call the Gaza incursion as revenge … it is not. it is to teach that the cost of waging violence against Israel will not be worth the expense. J Morgenstern Ann Arbor, […]

Iran’s Nightmares
Details of the recent limited Israeli retaliatory strike against Iranian anti-aircraft missile batteries at Isfahan are still sketchy. But nonetheless, we can draw some conclusions. Israel’s small volley of missiles hit their intended targets, to the point of zeroing in on the very launchers designed to stop such incoming ordnance. The target was near the […]
