A Culture in Collapse
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness In the last six months, we have borne witness to many iconic moments evidencing the collapse of American culture.

Our descent […]
VDH UltraWhy Rural Irks Urban. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson And urban man, what of the antithetical municipal mind?

Harvard—Out the Frying Pan Into the Fire
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Harvard may assume the forced resignation of its president, Claudine Gay, has finally ended its month-long scandal over her tenure.

VDH UltraWhy Rural Irks Urban. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Add a farm into the equation without outside or in-town income and then self-reliance can reach absurd proportions. There is no pay scale, no “benefits”, no cost-of-living raises, no HR that wants to hear how you were wronged. It is you against a still mysterious nature, period. Amid failure, there is nothing […]
The Utter Insanity of Joe Biden’s Open Border
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness There have been more than 8 million illegal entries into the United States since Joe Biden was elected president.

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.

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.

All were predicated on the perception of foreign […]
VDH UltraGay Will Go

Here are several reasons why ultimately she will have to go. If […]

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.
