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?

VDH UltraFrom Rural to Surreal—Once Small Farming Became Latifundia: Part Eight

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.

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?

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.

Gaming The 2024 Campaign

VDH UltraFrom Rural to Surreal—Once Small Farming Became Latifundia. Part Five
Victor Davis Hanson 6. The fornicators. I’ll be brief. Recently, I have stumbled upon a growing number of fornicators, if I may use such a term of disparagement—in cars, on blankets on the ground, on mattresses even. As the town grows closer, so the farm seems ideal for trysts. I am no Puritan, but I resent […]

DEI Cronyism and Woke Grifters
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness When ideology replaces meritocracy or provides immunity from the consequences of illegal behavior, systemic mediocrity follows.

The same […]

VDH UltraFrom Rural to Surreal—Once Small Farming Became Latifundia: Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson 4. The Shooter. Two years ago, during record rainfall and snow melt, the ponds were full, the grass was lush, and the once-ossified cottonwood trees abruptly came back to life as they always do after the end of a drought. Ducks and geese were everywhere. Herons flew in regularly. Bullfrogs croaked all night. […]
The Left’s Methods Bespeak Timidity and Mediocrity
