VDH UltraSigns of Decay, Fears of Decline. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson We can calibrate the decline in the quality of American life by comparisons to both societies of the past and contemporary civilization elsewhere. And the result is not encouraging for Americans. I believe I may have visited 80 percent of the so-called first world countries in Europe and the Middle East, and […]
The Strange Pandemic of ‘White’ Disparagement
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness One of the tenets of the early civil rights movement some 65 years ago was ending racial stereotyping. When Martin Luther King, Jr. called for emphasizing the “content of our character” over “the color of our skin,” the subtext was “stop judging people as a faceless collective on the basis […]

VDH UltraOssified Americana. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson The FBI (Continued) How, then, do we alter the FBI to save it from itself? 1. Choice One: Move the entire headquarters to Kansas City or Laramie or Oklahoma City. There would be far less incestuous media/political/bureaucratic marriages, lobbying, and consulting, and far less opportunity for cocktail-hour networking, plotting, profiting, and cajoling. […]

Is the Sleeping Conservative Dragon Finally Waking Up?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Conservatives and traditionalists are often exasperated at the ongoing woke cultural revolution in their midst. How can America be turned upside down, as it is, when there is little public support for the things happening around us? They don’t see much backing for the current wide-open borders and unchecked illegal […]
VDH UltraOssified Americana. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson The FBI Is the FBI hopelessly ossified? We do need a national investigatory agency that can address racketeering, conspiracies, terrorism, and cross-state criminality, as well rooting out crimes against the federal government. There is no argument about that. But do we need an agency such as the currently composed FBI, located in […]
VDH UltraOssified Americana. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Affirmative Action Can we count the ways that this stagnant relic from the 1960s is neither coherent nor needed? 1) Class and race are no longer synonymous. Why give special preferences to the children of Prince Harry or Eric Holder or LeBron James? Were the Obama children in need of special help […]
The Resistance: Anything Is Possible
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler address the funding of and ignoring illegal things, George Floyd and Covid policy, the New College of Florida and University of Austin, and a tribute to Memorial Day.
It Was Always Only About Power With the Left
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Why do so many liberal climate-activist grandees fly on private jets? Or why do those who profited from Black Lives Matter have a propensity for estate living? Or why do the community-activist Obamas prefer to live in not one, but three mansions? The answer is that calls for radical equity, “power for […]

DeSantis, Disney and Travel Bans
Listen in to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc as they talk about DeSantis announcing his campaign for president, corporate woke policy on the edge, and the NAACP banning travel to Florida.
VDH UltraOssified Americana. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson Here are a few institutions that have quite outlived their age. Tribal Graduations Consider 40 percent of California’s population now identifies as Latino, predominately Mexican American. Fifty percent of current BAs in the California State University system this year were awarded to self-described Latinos. That paradox brings up the question, why are […]
Utopian Dreams and Middle Class Nightmares
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler talk over Americans struggles w/daily finances, New York accommodating illegal immigrants, the cost-benefit analysis of income tax, increasing marijuana use, increasing mortality rate of our youths, and a Memorial Day tribute to our warriors.
The Left Has Pushed the Envelope
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Left is waging a full-fledged cultural revolution against traditional America. And the Maoist results are often as absurd as they are terrifying. Special-counsel John Durham just issued his final report on wrongdoing within the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Justice. The summary confirms that our premier investigatory and […]
VDH UltraOur Great Illegal Immigration Mythologies. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson Myth #3: The Noble Illegal Immigrant Somehow from all the photos of the thousands swarming into across the border, we have constructed the would-be illegal alien into a nobility of sorts. But well aside from the hypocrisy—we fired military personnel who chose not to be vaccinated, but welcomed in illegal aliens who […]
VDH UltraOur Great Illegal Immigration Mythologies. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Myth #2: Our two-party establishments oppose illegal immigration. 1) Corporate America/the Chamber of Commerce/the Wall Street Journal business intelligentsia all welcome open borders. They oppose E-Verify, The Wall, deportations, etc. Under their euphemism “comprehensive immigration reform” they want to return to the Reaganite Simpson–Mazzoli Act nothingness that destroyed border enforcement and the […]
The Heart of Not-So-Blind Justice
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler in an examination of transgendered advertising and agendas, whistleblower testimony and Left terror tactics, and dementia and other debilitating conditions among our politicians.
