VDH UltraThe Existential Lies They Asked Us to Believe. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson About $40 million and 22 months later, after the birth of the “Russian collusion” special counsel, Robert Mueller shrugged that he found no proof of “collusion.” No matter, James Clapper still claimed that Donald Trump was a veritable “Russian asset,” despite being tougher on Vladimir Putin than both the Bush and Obama […]
The Impending Thermidor Reaction in Jacobin America
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The decade-long French Revolution that broke out in 1789 soon devolved into far more than removing the monarchy, as it became antithetical to the earlier American precedent. American notions of liberty and freedom were seen as far too narrow, given the state, if only all-powerful and all-wise, could mandate “equality” […]

VDH UltraThe Existential Lies They Asked Us to Believe. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson We were told by Dr. Fauci that no way, no how did the coronavirus originate as a gain-in-function, engineered virus in the Wuhan Level 4 Lab.

The New Ugly Americans
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The old cultural imperialism was supposedly greedy corporatism like Disneyland, McDonald’s, and Starbucks sprouting up worldwide to supplant local competitors. But these businesses spread because they appealed to free-will consumer demand abroad. They were not imposed top down. The U.S. presence in Afghanistan collapsed in August 2021 amid the greatest […]
VDH UltraThe Existential Lies They Asked Us to Believe. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson When I was young in the late 1950s, all 5–8-year-olds customarily had a rendezvous with a surgeon or GP “to take your tonsils out,” regardless of the absence of any prior chronic sore throat or infection. (NB: I had forgotten that painful operation at six in 1959—until in 2006 I had inhaled […]
VDH UltraThe Existential Lies They Asked Us to Believe. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson There is a narrative that half the country is paranoid, prone to conspiracy theories, and generally nuts, in the off-the-grid, January 6th sense. But in some sense why not, given the lies that have been promulgated? Here I do not mean the usual political serious and even life-changing untruths such as gas […]

The Crazy Contours of the Crazier 2024 Election
We start with the likely American landscape over the next two years. Joe Biden has no choice but to focus on a purely negative message.

VDH UltraCivilizational Killers. Part Three. Borders and Security
Victor Davis Hanson The history of nations is a story of borders. Most wars break out over a nation’s private space, essential to create and maintain a unique culture.

Dominion vs. ‘Russian Collusion’ and ‘Disinformation’
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Fox News is reeling, both financially and with respect to its talent, after being drawn into a long lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems. The network just settled for an astounding $757.5 million and soon after released Tucker Carlson, the network’s highest-rated host. The voting machine company had alleged some of […]
VDH UltraCivilizational Killers. Part Two. Debt and Inflation
Victor Davis Hanson Debt and its twin inflation destroy civilizations. Ancient coins were sometimes called “redheads” as the raised impressed silhouettes of grandees stamped on “silver” coins were the first to have their silver veneers worn away revealing the “red” bronze beneath. Our paper money is similarly becoming less and less valuable, the more we […]
VDH UltraCivilizational Killers. Part One. Perversion of the Law
Victor Davis Hanson No civilization can continue if its bedrock values and institutions are eroding—especially if the effort to save them is considered worse than their destruction.

Do We Even Know We Are All Socialists Now?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Sometimes when you are in the midst of a revolution, you do not even know it. I doubt all the Germans who voted in National Socialism quite foresaw what quickly was to come. Those who overthrew the Bourbons or the Romanoffs had no real idea that they had sown the […]
