Federal Chaos and the Absurd Left Agenda

Victor Davis Hanson with cohost Sami Winc talk in this special episode on the war in Israel started this weekend by Hamas.
Reflections on Israel’s New Existential War
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness There have been plenty of terrorist attacks on Israel. A dozen or so conventional wars of various magnitude have been waged against the Jewish state. And more often there have been mixtures of both. Yet never have hundreds of gangs of black-clad murderers carefully planned to swarm Israel, with an […]

VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson Call all this mere “political correctness” or “woke” nonsense. But these disconnects are in essence Maoism. They are dangerous lies that are promulgated by elites to further their own selfish agendas at the expense of the general public, who is to be shamed and ostracized as counterrevolutionaries. Note too that none of […]
Our Establishment’s Alternate Realities
One common denominator that explains why previously successful societies implode is their descent into fantasies. A collective denial prevents even discussion of existential threats and their solutions. Something like that is happening in the United States. Eight million illegal immigrants have entered the United States by the deliberate erasure of the southern border. Apparently, the […]
The Left Are the Great Destroyers of Civilization
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss the balance sheet of imperialism, the Russian way of war, Polish minister remarks on the West, and why a teacher is rehired after wielding a machete against a reporter.
VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson There is a host of other lies that utopian progressives have constructed as orthodox “truths” in order to sabotage reality and ensure a particular code of behavior and thought. By late 2021 most Americans had concluded that the Wuhan virology lab was the source of the Covid virus. They were growing concerned […]
Political Engineering and Public Cynicism
Listen in as Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler banter about replacing Feinstein, public cynicism faces off with mainstream misinformation, the second Republican debate, and if only Fauci had been honest with the American people.
VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Most believe saying the truth is not worth the cultural opprobrium that honesty earns. So, they keep quiet and, in matters of trans topics, watch female sports wrecked by the participation of biological males, females with male genitalia in their daughters’ school locker rooms, and often obscene drag shows conducted at libraries […]
California, the Great Destroyer
In 1996, the California legislature created the high speed rail authority. In 2008, voters passed a $33 billion bond to build an envisioned 800 mile project eventually to link Sacramento with San Diego. Fifteen years later, a scaled-down plan from Bakersfield to Merced remains not even half finished. Yet the envisioned costs will exceed that […]
Conservative Documentaries and the Government Media: An Interview with the Packs
Victor Davis Hanson interviews Thomas and Michael Pack about their efforts to reform government media and promote conservative documentaries.
VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson In communist countries, there were two levels of consciousness, two mindsets in other words. What all people mouthed publicly became the opposite of what most thought in private. When the private mind finally became all dominant, the entire system of the Soviet Union and communist Eastern Europe abruptly collapsed under the weight […]
M-Obama, Menendez, and Milley
Join the Friday news roundup with Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc: will Michelle Obama be the Democratic candidate, what is the meaning of Menendez’s crimes, is our Customs and Border Protection importing immigrants, does the UAW understand the cost of regulation, what is Mark Milley’s legacy as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of […]
The Ukrainian Gordian Knot
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Most Americans understandably favor the Ukrainian resistance against Vladimir Putin’s Russian naked 2022 aggression. Yet for Ukraine to break the current deadlock—our generation’s Verdun with perhaps 600,000 combined casualties so far— and “win” the war, it apparently must have the military wherewithal to hit targets inside Russia. Such strategically logical attacks might […]
Women Politicians and Education
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss KJP defending Biden, Michelle Obama a 2024 candidate (?), Newsom inching to candidacy, Kamala Harris’ record, our budget crisis, and inner-city school crisis.
VDH UltraJoe Biden’s so-called “Successful and Effective Presidency”
Victor Davis Hanson So, we are assured by David Ignatius that Biden has had such “a successful and effective” presidency that he must now step down, deprive us of his genius, and rest upon his laurels? All of Biden’s initiatives now poll below 50 percent. Biden himself struggles to poll above 40 percent. That is […]
Our Corrupt Bureaucrats and Representatives
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler examine the actions and works of Ibram Kendi, Chuck Schumer, David Brooks, John Brennan, Robert Menendez, and the antics of Fetterman, Boebert, and AOC.
