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.

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 […]
VDH UltraAngry Reader 04-26-2024
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.

VDH UltraAngry Reader 04-23-2024
From an Angry Reader: Dear Dr. Hanson, I have enjoyed several years of your podcast and your teaching of the Greek language and how history of the past affects present day history. I find it troubling though with all your educational training that you use one of the foulest words fairly regularly that the F- […]

War By Affirmative Action?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Why does Biden play Iranian poker with American and Israeli lives? Answer?

Are Iran’s Nine Lives Nearing an End?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The theocracy of Iran has been the world’s arch-embassy attacker over the last half century. So it has zero credibility in crying foul over Israel’s April 1 attacks on its “consulate” in Damascus and the killing of Iran’s kingpin terrorists of the Revolutionary Guard Corps there. Remember, the world […]

VDH UltraFrom Rural to Surreal—Once Small Farming Became Latifundia: Part Seven
Victor Davis Hanson What explains the general breakdown in civilization and the law, in a region where once no one had a key to their front farmhouse door and children free-ranged at age six or seven among their fields and orchards? One reason, of course, is the open border. Millions have illegally entered the U.S., […]
VDH UltraFrom Rural to Surreal—Once Small Farming Became Latifundia: Part Six
Victor Davis Hanson 8. The Garbage Baggers. Sometimes the encounters are surreal to the point of being comedic, yet always instructional about the oddities of rural existence.
