VDH UltraCivilization in Reverse? Part Two
Victor Davis HansonEeyore’s Cabinet We got our first key to our farmhouse around 1968. Prior to that we never locked it when away. There was no such thing as bolt locks. Farms a half-century ago still grew people as well as food, not just food more cheaply and economically. Today only a madman would leave […]

The Ukrainian Verdun
Victor Davis HansonAmerican Greatness Five months after Russia invaded Ukraine, the war is now reduced to one of attrition. The current dirty, grinding slog is fought mostly with artillery and rockets. Everything from Ukraine’s shopping centers to apartment buildings—and the civilians in them—are Russian targets. Most outsiders have already forgotten the heroic Ukrainian winter repulse […]

VDH UltraCivilization in Reverse? Part One
Victor Davis Hanson Eeyore’s Cabinet Fifty years ago, I was 18 and a first-year student in college at the recently opened UC campus at Santa Cruz. Our drug- and sex-addled generation that emerged out of such colleges now brags about the material progress of the baby boomer techies, the moral superiority birthed in the 1970s, […]
VDH UltraRes Ipsa Loquitur
Victor Davis Hanson Eeyore’s Cabinet Consider five self-evident banalities. Joe Biden has serially attacked the Saudi Arabian government after the Khashoggi murder. Fine, there is much to criticize among the Saudi monarchs. But did anyone believe that the Saudis in any sizable way would pump thousands of more barrels of oil per day to lower […]
How To Erode the World’s Greatest Military
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The U.S. Army has met only 40 percent of its 2022 recruiting goals. In fact, all branches of the military are facing historic resistance to their current recruiting efforts. If some solution is not found quickly, the armed forces will radically shrink or be forced to lower standards—or both. Such […]

VDH UltraA Covid Afterthought
Victor Davis Hanson Eeyore’s Cabinet Recently, there has been increasing pressure on China either to produce more data exonerating itself of birthing the SARS-CoV-2 virus, or to confess that the pathogen escaped from its secretive biosafety Level 4 virology lab and was human-engineered, showing insidious characteristics not found in nature. If the latter is true, […]
The Left Should Be Happy with Biden
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Left should be ecstatic that Joe Biden has given them everything they wanted. The Left likes inflation. It reduces the value of old money by printing lots of new money. Those richer who have it, lose the value of their money; those poorer who don’t have any money, suddenly […]
VDH UltraWater, water, water…and not a drop. Continued.
Victor Davis Hanson 6) Twenty-million Californians living on a thin, dry, coastal, 400-mile strip, from La Jolla to north of Berkeley. That they sit atop no real aquifer and enjoy little precipitation is still not unnatural given the importance of these elites. Such critical populations must be continually supplied by otherwise not-natural, long-distance transfers of […]

Listen in to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler talk about Biden’s Middle East trip, Jill Biden’s taco comment, Florida bill to reform tenure and political ends of factcheck.org.
VDH UltraWater, water, water…and not a drop
Victor Davis Hanson The West in general is in a continuing drought and California in particular. The left-wing policies to alleviate little rain or snow in blue Western states have been the following—though never fully or so candidly expressed. Remember, progressive water policy for the Left is like fuel policy: do not develop such resources […]
Biden and The Destruction of Wisdom
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness There used to be an agreed-on body of wisdom, which both Left and Right, Republicans and Democrats, generally accepted. Heated arguments and invective centered on implementations and methods of solving problems, which at least both sides agreed were problems. Both ideologies accepted a common core of wisdom, despite their radical differences in interpreting […]
