Can They Really Reinvent Kamala Harris in 70 Days?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness An Opportunistic Mediocrity In theory, it should be hard for Kamala Harris to win the presidency of the United States.

VDH UltraOne Long, Long, Angry Letter: Part One
From: Michael Dernburg Subject: The Creepy, Weird, and Dangerous Aspects of the 2024 Campaign I find the publication on Hoover’s web site by Victor Davis Hanson from Aug 15, 2024 regarding “The Creepy, Weird, and Dangerous Aspects of the 2024 Campaign” particularly offensive because this writing violates the mission of the Hoover Institute [sic]; that […]
VDH UltraVDH Responds to Angry Reader Howard Wohl, Part Two:
Yes, when Democrats controlled the White House and the Senate, the nation between 1960 and 1990 experienced the most leftwing court in memory. I don’t recall any serious conservative effort to pack or change the court. Almost every conservative justice in that era after being appointed drifted leftward; again, I don’t recall any such trending […]

VDH UltraAngry Reader 08-23-2024
From An Angry Reader, Part One: You place the lying, phony, anti-Democracy Donald J Trump along with the maniacal J D Vance as the potential saviors of the US? Lies and more lies. And you have the hubris to claim that Kamala can’t get a word out of her mouth because she is so stupid. […]
Who Is ‘Destroying Democracy in Darkness?’
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The 2023-2024 campaign season is not just the strangest on record, it’s also arguably the most anti-democratic.

VDH UltraPenetrating Kamala Harris’s Iron Dome?
Victor Davis Hanson The only way Harris–Walz will emerge from their fusion media Iron Dome is if they begin to trail four or so points in the polls. But since there may not be enough time in this bizarre, abbreviated campaign to allow them organically to melt down in their banality, the only way Trump […]
The Myriad Projections of the 2024 Campaign
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Projectionism Projection is a Freudian psychological term. It describes a particular defensive mechanism, when people, often unconsciously, attribute their own (usually undesirable) behaviors to others who do not have them.
