VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Eight: “The Pack”
Victor Davis Hanson It was now 1976. My grandfather died suddenly in the bed where he was born in 1890, in the room of his grandmother’s and where I sleep today nearly a half-century later. His departure left my 86-year-old grandmother and Lila alone in the big house—and no one to run the ranch. My […]
How Biden Will Circle the Wagons?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The strategies of saving the Biden presidency from an impeachment and a Senate trial despite overwhelming evidence of his corruption are starting to emerge.

VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Seven: Hilario
Victor Davis Hanson Hilario was different altogether from either Burt or Rodrigo. He reminds me even today, nearly a half-century later of Mapache (“thief”) of The Wild Bunch, played by the illustrious Mexican actor Emilio “El Indio” Fernández—an admittedly brave general, but crazy, corrupt, a drunk—and unpredictable. For that matter, as I look back now, […]

Post-Postmodern America
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness When the progressive woke revolution took over traditional America, matters soon reached the level of the ridiculous.

VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Six: Rodrigo Continued
Victor Davis Hanson Still stranger occurrences were to come. An ample penny bucket in our unlocked porch, where everyone threw their change, disappeared. How did that happen? During a party, two or three of the Lopezes would just show up in our yard and begin eating. Rodrigo, Sr. himself was said to be freelancing, using […]
VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Five: Rodrigo
Victor Davis Hanson My grandfather continued, “Rodrigo Lopez is his name. Came with good word from all who knew him. And he’s got a family too—five kids and a wife. Family man. And he’ll be lots of help.” In an instant, I kept fixating on the glory days of Joe, Manuel, and my uncle renting […]

The Frightened Left
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness An impeachment inquiry looms and the shrieks of outrage are beginning. The Left is now suddenly voicing warnings that those who recently undermined the system could be targeted by their own legacies. So, for example, now we read why impeachment is suddenly a dangerous gambit. True, the Founders did not […]

VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Four: Burton Continued
Victor Davis Hanson As long as my grandfather had been still hale in his 60s and 70s, his presence rippled out throughout the farm. All of us tried to emulate his singular Roman agrarian morality. So, it was a hectic, wonderful time, full of visitors and loyal and skilled workers who respected “Mr. Davis,” largely […]

What Game is Hunter Biden Playing?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness What shameless act or felonious activity was not evidenced on Hunter Biden’s laptop? Racist attitudes toward Asians? Soliciting prostitution? Felonious use of drugs? Photographed nudity and perverse sex? Admissions to illicit foreign shakedowns? Hunter all but accused his own father President Joe Biden of also being on the foreign take: […]
Immigration, Weaponization, and Censorship
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler examine the old left’s idea of immigration, Simpson-Mazzoli Act, sentencing Jan. 6 participants, weaponizing the administration, the censorship industrial complex, and de-leftification of universities.
VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Three: Burton Continued
Victor Davis Hanson Oddly, as I said, for a lifelong farm laborer, Burton knew almost nothing about mechanics, indeed nothing about anything other than trying to do the physically impossible—like lifting 200-pound plum stumps or throwing up on the truck bed two-foot sections of three-foot diameter concrete irrigation pipe. I think he was the strongest […]
The Bad Left Politics: Canadian Re-education and California Devastation
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler as they discuss Jordan Peterson‘s public broadcast of his social media re-education, opening nuclear plants in California — the exception proving the rule — a look at San Francisco‘s decline, mirrored in other major cities, and the strange and dangerous men of the ranch.
VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Two: Burton
Victor Davis Hanson Burton was at least 6’5’’. He may have been about 55 years old—although he was one of those strange people who were ageless and could have been either 40 or 70. What was not ambiguous was his strength. He was made of solid muscle. Burt, as he wished to be known, was […]
