VDH UltraAngry Reader 12-29-2023
“You’re terrible at fear-mongering.” Hey Victor, Leftist nihilist hear, saying “Hi”. I hope you’re having a great day and not huddled in a corner, crying in agony, from the Biden crime families torment. I’m taking a quick break from plotting to destroy the America you love, to just let you know what a complete dipshit […]
Water, Waste, and Losing Face

Our Razor’s Edge
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness At the end of the year, we are on the razor’s edge of many things that soon may blow up. Americans are far beyond President Joe Biden’s serial untruths of some eight years that he never discussed Hunter Biden’s various get-rich-quick schemes. All were predicated on the perception of foreign […]
VDH UltraGay Will Go
Harvard President Claudine Gay’s tenure is on life-support. Why, then, would a woke black woman likely soon be asked to resign at one of the most leftwing institutions in America, especially when the Harvard Corporation board hired her precisely for her DEI credentials? Here are several reasons why ultimately she will have to go. If […]
VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part Five: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson The Deep State Remember when we used to trust, at least somewhat, the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, and the Pentagon? That was before the era of Robert Mueller, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Christopher Wray, John Brennan, James Clapper, and “51 intelligence authorities,” who either lied under oath, or suppressed the truth, […]
The Legacy of Woke: Destroyed Brands and Privileged Victims
Listen in to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler as they discuss Haley/DeSantis strategy, SCOTUS strike down of Jack Smith requests and Biden loan forgiveness, how the Left destroyed any university, company, movie and brand that took it up, and the history of Republican and Democrat.
2024—the Year of our Reckoning
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness We should remember the now modern proverb of Nixon-era economic advisor Herb Stein to the effect that what cannot go on (without destroying the nation), simply will not go on. In some sense, the country for recent years has been cruising on the fumes from prior and likely better wiser […]

VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part Four: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson The Culture What were woke, DEI, ESG, and cancel culture? What was behind the iconoclasm, the massive 2020 riots, arson, looting, and the blanket amnesties extended to them, soon to be juxtaposed to the long prison sentences for the far less violent, one-day Capitol protests? We should remember that no American ever […]
Leading and Misleading Men
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler for recent news stories: Eli Steele refuses to check the “black” box, Denzel Washington as Hannibal, Cuomo and Fetterman support Israel, why oil nations support climate-change, anti-fossil-fuel policy, and how our universities became so left-leaning and their possible undoing.
Will Partisan Lawfare Destroy Trump?
Trump Derangement Syndrome became Orwellian with the recent ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court. It approved the erasure of Trump from the Republican primary ballot in Colorado, by invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That ossified clause was intended to bar any ante-bellum federal officials who joined the Confederacy from again holding federal offices after […]
VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part Three: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson Foreign Policy There have been plenty of foreign policy disasters over the last 60 years since the Vietnam Era. But even in our failures, there was no inherent intent to destroy ourselves and to deliberately harm efforts to improve our security and stature overseas. Not now. Why are we experiencing one of […]
VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part Two: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson Crime We have experienced high crime in the past, especially following the racial tensions and hippie “let it all hang out” unreality of the 1960s, and the erosion of norms and general breakdown as fantasized in the Escape from New York/Death Wish/Dirty Harry days of the 1970s and early 1980s. But once again, as […]
