VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson Call all this mere “political correctness” or “woke” nonsense. But these disconnects are in essence Maoism. They are dangerous lies that are promulgated by elites to further their own selfish agendas at the expense of the general public, who is to be shamed and ostracized as counterrevolutionaries. Note too that none of […]
Our Establishment’s Alternate Realities
One common denominator that explains why previously successful societies implode is their descent into fantasies. A collective denial prevents even discussion of existential threats and their solutions. Something like that is happening in the United States. Eight million illegal immigrants have entered the United States by the deliberate erasure of the southern border. Apparently, the […]
The Left Are the Great Destroyers of Civilization
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss the balance sheet of imperialism, the Russian way of war, Polish minister remarks on the West, and why a teacher is rehired after wielding a machete against a reporter.
VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson There is a host of other lies that utopian progressives have constructed as orthodox “truths” in order to sabotage reality and ensure a particular code of behavior and thought. By late 2021 most Americans had concluded that the Wuhan virology lab was the source of the Covid virus. They were growing concerned […]
Political Engineering and Public Cynicism
Listen in as Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler banter about replacing Feinstein, public cynicism faces off with mainstream misinformation, the second Republican debate, and if only Fauci had been honest with the American people.
VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Most believe saying the truth is not worth the cultural opprobrium that honesty earns. So, they keep quiet and, in matters of trans topics, watch female sports wrecked by the participation of biological males, females with male genitalia in their daughters’ school locker rooms, and often obscene drag shows conducted at libraries […]
California, the Great Destroyer
In 1996, the California legislature created the high speed rail authority. In 2008, voters passed a $33 billion bond to build an envisioned 800 mile project eventually to link Sacramento with San Diego. Fifteen years later, a scaled-down plan from Bakersfield to Merced remains not even half finished. Yet the envisioned costs will exceed that […]

VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson In communist countries, there were two levels of consciousness, two mindsets in other words. What all people mouthed publicly became the opposite of what most thought in private. When the private mind finally became all dominant, the entire system of the Soviet Union and communist Eastern Europe abruptly collapsed under the weight […]
M-Obama, Menendez, and Milley
Join the Friday news roundup with Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc: will Michelle Obama be the Democratic candidate, what is the meaning of Menendez’s crimes, is our Customs and Border Protection importing immigrants, does the UAW understand the cost of regulation, what is Mark Milley’s legacy as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of […]
The Ukrainian Gordian Knot
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Most Americans understandably favor the Ukrainian resistance against Vladimir Putin’s Russian naked 2022 aggression. Yet for Ukraine to break the current deadlock—our generation’s Verdun with perhaps 600,000 combined casualties so far— and “win” the war, it apparently must have the military wherewithal to hit targets inside Russia. Such strategically logical attacks might […]

VDH UltraJoe Biden’s so-called “Successful and Effective Presidency”
Victor Davis Hanson So, we are assured by David Ignatius that Biden has had such “a successful and effective” presidency that he must now step down, deprive us of his genius, and rest upon his laurels? All of Biden’s initiatives now poll below 50 percent. Biden himself struggles to poll above 40 percent. That is […]
Our Corrupt Bureaucrats and Representatives
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler examine the actions and works of Ibram Kendi, Chuck Schumer, David Brooks, John Brennan, Robert Menendez, and the antics of Fetterman, Boebert, and AOC.
VDH UltraThe Origins of the Biden Disaster. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Joe’s campaign handlers had three surrogate campaign messages: 1) Joe Biden was the old Joe Biden from the 1970s who was a “centrist Democrat” (He was not then nor is he now.). 2) He at least was not the left wing’s boogeyman Donald Trump (but rather a known plagiarist, prone to racist […]
Is the Left Happy That They Got Their Wish?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness America has been in a veritable cultural revolution since the 1960s. Nearly all our major institutions finally became woke—the administrative state, traditional and social media, universities, K-12, the corporate boardroom, entertainment, professional sports, and the foundations. So the Obama and the Biden administrations finally seemed to have achieved their aims, […]
