VDH UltraOur Elite Amoralists
Victor Davis Hanson Octogenarian and ex-congressman, former White House Chief of Staff, and CIA Director (no less), Leon Panetta was just interviewed by Fox News’s Bret Baier. He was asked whether he had any regrets about his participation in the now infamous “51 intelligence authorities” letter that helped warp the 2020 campaign. Panetta said none […]
The War in Gaza Brings Out Anti-Semitism
In this episode Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss Biden’s recent speech, China’s battleships in the Persian Gulf, anti-Semitism from universities to the federal government, immigrant sympathies for a romanticized motherland, and donating to our post-modern universities.
VDH UltraThe Strange Middle Eastern Hatred of its Desire. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson So here is the paradox. Given what we have seen from Hamas this week, why do Middle Easterners emigrate to the West, prosper, enjoy security and freedom, unknown in their former homelands—and then cheer on terrorists and pledge fealty to the systems they forsook? Did the crowds in New York on the […]
The Sickness of Our Universities—and the Cure
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The sheer madness that has gripped many elite universities since October 7 and the butchery, rape, torture, and mutilation of some 1,000 Israeli civilians by Hamas murderers have shocked the public at large. Campus craziness is, of course, nothing new. But quite novel for campuses was the sudden jettisoning of […]
VDH UltraThe Strange Middle Eastern Hatred of its Desire. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson One could loosely define Europe and the United States as “Western.” Roughly, that means a billion people living under consensual governments—with mostly free-market economies, where religious freedom, unfettered expression, and an independent judiciary are the norms. In varying degrees, Western nations are not strictly blood-and-soil societies. Anyone can become an American who […]
Israel’s Critics and US Policy
Join Victor Davis Hanson’s news roundup with cohost Sami Winc for a look at Hamas’ hospital hoax, protestors in the Capitol, millions of dollars to Gaza, our oil reserves depleted, Venezuelans crossing the border flown back, and Trump’s trial.
The Biden Doctrine and the Middle East
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss the inflation optimism on the Left, anti-Israel diplomacy, our intelligence community, normalizing diplomacy in Iran, and who is really culpable for the Hamas-Israel war.
Does Iran Realize Its Own Growing Danger?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Iran understandably believes it is riding quite high. It is flush with cash. It hints it almost has the bomb—and might use it soon. The Iranians are bragging about their new tyrannical allies like Russia and China. Iran boasts of now being the self-proclaimed leader of jihad on behalf of […]
VDH UltraThe Aberrant American Appeasement of Theocratic Iran
Victor Davis Hanson The Obama–Biden pathological appeasement of Iran is shameful. Barack Obama cooked up the “Iran deal” design to ensure the development of an Iranian bomb—although not on his watch. Every aspect of that deal favored Iran, and then in quite an unconstitutional fashion he ignored the Senate and reclassified the treaty as an […]
The Origins of War in Gaza
Listen in as Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler talk about Biden’s cameos on Israel, protestors in the streets and hypocrisy of Hamas supporters in our elite universities, the lying administration, the clear hatred of Jews and scenes from Gaza.
VDH UltraWoke Hits the Wall. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson Another tenet of woke was a veritable war on gas and oil. Note the same serial ironic theme: if Biden inherited a calm border, he had the luxury or rather the margin of error to demagogue it, destroy it, and not be swamped by illegals—for a while. It was also easy to […]
Our Post-Hamas Wreckage
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness As Hamas goes, so with it go many of the following related Western pretensions. The Passions of 9/11, Redux It has been 22 years since we saw crowds throughout the Middle East celebrating the murder of 3,000 civilians—and since newspapers had daily “idiot watch” notices of American intellectuals defending radical […]
Israel at War Continues
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc continue their analysis of the war in Gaza with discussion of US protests, Hamas’ charter, a disproportionate response and the potential expansion of the war in the region.
VDH UltraWoke Hits the Wall. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson The entire BLM movement is now in shambles, due not just to its racist tropes, but the sheer corruption and grift of the entire enterprise of mostly middle-class black activists using the threat of riot and violence of the poor underclass as leverage to enrich themselves. The Center for Antiracist Research at […]
The Left’s Manufactured Reality
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler analyze Chicago’s residents’ outcry against illegal immigrants, transgendered arguments, FBI’s leaders not so far from the rank-and-file, distortion of truth called “conspiracy theories,” and thoughts on funding the war in Ukraine and the new rules of proxy wars.
Hamas and Amoral Clarity
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness One unexpected blowback from the medieval Hamas’s barbaric murdering of hundreds of Israeli civilians is the revelation of current global amorality. More than 20 Harvard university identity politics groups pledged their support to the Hamas murderers—to the utter silence for days of Harvard President Claudine Gay. Americans knew higher education […]
VDH UltraWoke Hits the Wall. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Wokeism also sought to defund the police, end cash bail, and empty the jails. George Soros and others poured millions into electing nihilist city and state prosecutors who simply did not enforce the law and let criminals out, often just hours after committing heinous crimes. Did the Left believe that criminals would […]
VDH UltraWoke Hits the Wall. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson The hard-left revolution is running out of gas. We can tell that because the inherent anti-civilizational nature of wokism is beginning to devour the very architects of its creation. The Biden administration entered office in 2021 with a secure border—after four years of constant deep-state and left-wing efforts to stop the Trump […]
