Victor Davis Hanson I bought new a 2021 Ram V6-EcoDiesel, four-wheel drive pickup. I like it a great deal.

Wokeness was envisioned as a new reboot of the coalition of the oppressed.

Victor Davis Hanson Broken things are a sign of decay and decline.

I once tried to turn on the […]
VDH UltraAngry Reader
Re: A Classicist Farmer: The Life and Times of Victor Davis Hanson There is an active discussion in circles I travel regarding the difference between abject ignorance, and willful exploitation of that which a speaker may know to be true, but choices to frame in a way that serves a political purpose.
