VDH UltraShrugging at the Intolerable, Continued. Part Three.
Victor Davis Hanson The Border, RIP The rise of the modern state is synonymous with ideas of identifiable and secure borders within which a consensual society can set their own laws, inculcate and nourish unique customs and traditions, and ensure that a special space is secure for its people. Without borders, we are mere tribal […]
Equal Application of the Law?

VDH UltraShrugging at the Intolerable. Part Two.
Victor Davis Hanson 2. The War on Gasoline and Diesel. The Democratic primary field of 2020 mostly demagogued energy. Each candidate sought to outdo a Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, promising to cancel pipelines, stop new federal leases, shut down ANWR, embrace the New Green Deal, leverage financial agencies not to lend to frackers and […]
The Selfish Californian
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness We hear plenty of reasons for the perfect storm that imploded California. One-party, progressive government, of course. Decades of unchecked illegal immigration, without doubt. Years of mass flight out of state of the productive middle classes, certainly. But perhaps the most important, but overlooked, reason has been the infusion of […]

VDH UltraShrugging at the Intolerable. Part One.
Victor Davis Hanson One day Americans will look back at the nightmare of the last two years—COVID, the lockdowns, the riots, the 102 million mail-in ballots, the Biden catastrophe, the utter lawlessness, and the woke revolution—and properly understand it as one of the strangest and most dangerous periods in their modern history. The toll will […]
Everything and Nothing or the Progressive Mind

The Subordinate Citizen
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness I recently led a group of about 100 citizens to tour Israel for nearly two weeks. Before returning to the United States, all participants had to indicate their vaccination status and take a COVID-19 test for reentry. Anxieties swept the group as Israeli testers swabbed them. Anyone testing positive would […]
VDH UltraAmerica on the Razor’s Edge. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson How Did It All Go to Hell—So Quickly? Where such pessimism? I have been abroad for ten days and trying to see America as others do not in America and talk and listen to them. And the observers are bewildered, as if our country is committing a two-year suicide. I confess too […]
A Country’s Destiny Is Self-Created

VDH UltraAmerica on the Razor’s Edge. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson How Did It All Go to Hell—So Quickly? Of course, the last 17 disastrous months did not leap from the head of Zeus. Envision them as a pathology that was deeply embedded in the American immune system, one that finally turned into a near fatal illness after the wearied antibodies were finally […]
The Sovietization of American Life
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness One day historians will look back at the period beginning with the COVID lockdowns of spring 2020 through the midterm elections of 2022 to understand how America for over two years lost its collective mind and turned into something unrecognizable and antithetical to its founding principles. “Sovietization” is perhaps the […]

VDH UltraIsraeli Reflections (From Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem)
Victor Davis Hanson An Outsider’s Superficial Impressions For a supposed global recession, COVID pandemic, and war in Ukraine, Israel seems booming. Traffic is snarled. Tourist spots are full. Prices are high. People are upbeat. We talk about the ex-nihilo boom of modern China from a Maoist hellhole to a gleaming autocracy. But that was material […]
Trumpology
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Donald Trump has signaled he will announce his presidential intentions after the November midterm elections. Yet his record of endorsements is quite mixed. By the sheer numbers of winning primary candidates his stamp of approval is impressive, but in a few of the most important races, not so much. The […]
VDH UltraThe Cycles of Dogs, Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson A Child’s Garden of Animals The Queensland principate followed. I found one at the pound and gave him to my father. He sat on the console of his truck and toured the farm every day. This was about the time of Road Warrior and “Breaker” looked exactly like Mad Max’s pet. At […]
Bureaucracy, Plutocracy, and Hypocrisy
In the latest of many pre-recorded podcasts while Victor is touring in Israel, Jack Fowler reads listener questions on Education, the Monarchy, Transgender people, and how to convince the Left they are the ones responsible for current problems of today.
VDH UltraThe Cycles of Dogs, Part One
Victor Davis Hanson A Child’s Garden of Animals I have had “several” dogs at once for most of my life on the farm, save the period I was at the universities and lived abroad. My parents handled them then. Looking back, I’ve noticed that we all went through “cycles” of particular breeds. My earliest ownership […]
