The Mess of an Address
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness After listening to the State of the Union address, Americans know why the latest Reuters poll has Joe Biden at 41 percent approval.

Jill has […]
VDH UltraMy Late, Great Beautiful Neighborhood. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Many of the dumpers—the more serious sorts with flatbeds that can unload a half-ton at once (see below for an illustration of a vineyard row after it was nearing being cleaned from an original 1/8 of a mile trail of hazardous liquid and solid trash and over 100 broken neon light tubes)—prefer […]
Trump upped US support for Greece, Israel
Pavlos Papadopoulos via Ekathimerini Victor Davis Hanson’s views place him among the “contrarians” in the US academic establishment.

Ukrainian Paradoxes

VDH UltraMy Late, Great Beautiful Neighborhood. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson I know the definition of Leftism is inconsistency—from Eco-Czar John Kerry’s carbon-spewing private jet to the climate change/rising seas, race-mongering Obamas housed in a gated, segregated, and seaside Martha’s Vineyard estate or Hawaiian beach mansion. I know dozens in Menlo Park who laud teachers’ unions and detest homeschooling and charter schools but […]

VDH UltraOur Empire Rots at the Core. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Was San Francisco the crown jewel, the logical result of the progressive project, our inheritance from the politicking of Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein? Where now are all the multimillionaire leftists who were never subject to the realities of their own disastrous ideology? Do any of […]
VDH UltraOur Empire Rots at the Core. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson While Britain was fighting for its empire in out-of-the-way places like Afghanistan (1839–42; 1878–80; 1919), the inner core of London was Dickensian—crime ridden and impoverished. I thought of Dickens’s Oliver Twist and David Copperfield juxtaposed to the horrendous end to the First Afghan War (1842), in which an entire army and retinue […]

Anarchy, American-Style
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The 1960s revolution was both anarchic and nihilist. But it was waged against—not from—the establishment. Hippies and the Left either attacked institutions or, in Timothy Leary fashion, chose to “turn on, tune in, drop out” from them. The current revolution is much different—and far more dangerous—for at least three reasons. The Establishment Is […]
