VDH UltraThe Unpredictable, Unforeseen, and Simply Strange. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson I was out early in the yard, picking up debris after our now routine violent California rainstorms. (So much for Gavin Newsom’s “permanent drought.”) Everything was soaked and the winds knocked over lots of umbrella stands. A wet outdoor carpet had blown off the deck onto the lawn. I bent over, put […]

Our French Revolution
We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020. It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support. […]
VDH UltraThe Unpredictable, Unforeseen, and Simply Strange. Part One
Víctor Davis Hanson Many of us foolishly go about our daily lives oblivious to how tenuous is our grip on the here and now. Much less do we, or should we, needlessly worry how easily everything can disappear in a nanosecond. But why worry about what in most cases we cannot control? And why worry […]
VDH UltraPart Three. Hard, Brutal, and Dirty Work Is Ennobling
Victor Davis Hanson The infant vineyard was beautiful by July. The next June, in only its second leaf, the canopies on the trellises were stunning. The third year we harvested our first crops.

Left-Wing Violence Chic
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness A transgendered Tennessee mass shooter this week executed three adults and three nine-year-old children at a Nashville private Christian school. Supposedly she left behind her a manifesto justifying her mass murdering. As of this writing, law enforcement officials have declined to make the document public. Yet in about a […]
VDH UltraPart Two. Is Hard, Brutal, and Dirty Work Ennobling?
Victor Davis Hanson In high school, I did the usual physical summer farm jobs for a variety of employers—worked as a swamper piling 40-pound boxes of plums and nectarines in the field on trailers or helped tie up young vines, day in and day out. Or I worked at packing houses loading and unloading semis- […]

VDH UltraPart One. Hard, Brutal, and Dirty Work Is a World to Itself
Víctor Davis Hanson Professors say they work hard. Some surely do. So do lawyers and media people.

VDH UltraWill Our Commissariat Destroy Us Before We Destroy It? Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson Remember, woke, as the Soviets showed us, is an elite obsession. Those in the Soviet Union that damned housewives for wanting more bread in their near empty stores vacationed in seaside dachas. So too our woke commissars. John Kerry needs his carbon-spewing private jet to combat the climate change caused by hoi […]
Who Owns the University?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The most recent shout-down debacle at Stanford’s law school, one of many such recent sordid episodes, prompts the question: “Who owns our universities?” The law students who are in residence for three years apparently assume they embody the university.
