Victor Davis Hanson More of the Harder Sort My great-uncle, my grandmother’s brother was one of the harder ones we saw on the free-range circuit. He grew up one of 12 siblings, impoverished, and rode a horse at 13 from New Mexico to Selma, California. His family, after a variety of tragedies, was destitute. And […]
America Is More Fragile Than the Left Understands
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness “There is a great deal of ruin in a nation.” — Adam Smith The Left has been tempting fate since January 2021—applying its nihilist medicine to America on the premise that such a rich patient can ride out any toxic shock. Our elites assume that all our nation’s past violent […]

Child’s Garden of AnimalsVictor Davis Hanson The Softer and the Harder What an array of tutorials we received from the scores of relatives and friends we met free ranging!

Why the Left Will Cut Biden Loose
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Republican pundits and conservative activists are debating whether they can win in 2024 with the successful Trump agenda, but without the controversial Donald Trump as their nominee. The Democrats have a similar, but far more serious dilemma with Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2024. Unlike the Trump […]

Victor Davis Hanson A Merry-go-Round of Merry People My parents wisely worked in town and outsourced us to the farm both to work and to be watched while they worked. We took the bus and got off at our farmhouse at 3 PM, and most days were alone and free until 6 when my mother […]
The Fatherless, Drag Queens, and Vaccines
VDH and cohost Jack Fowler explain the policies and ideas behind the curtain of Left leadership: the fatherless, drag queens, vaccines, California’s drought, and failed district attorneys. The exception is Myra Flores of Texas who is now showing that citizens’ eyes are starting to open on the Left’s policies.

Victor Davis Hanson Set Loose About a decade ago I came across the old cattle term “free ranging”—but now curiously applied to child-raising. It had grown in popularity in antithesis to the “helicopter parenting” of Tiger Moms. The retro idea was that rural folk (I’m not sure free ranging would be viable among 21st-century suburbanites), […]
Biden and Oil: Destroy America in Order to Save It
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Try to follow the Joe Biden energy plan of frantically trying to get his hands on more of something that his own party despises. During the Democratic primaries, Biden ran on the premise that he would end all fossil fuels during his tenure. In 2019-2020 that bluster seemed easy demagoguery […]
Mexico and White Supremacy

Victor Davis Hanson The Border, RIP, Continued… Note well: That after years of acrimony, and the unhinged charges that Donald Trump was recreating Auschwitz on the border (i.e., reusing the “cages” built by Barack Obama), Trump by late summer 2020 at last had mostly ended illegal immigration. He replaced hundreds of miles of porous border […]

What the January 6 Committee Might Have Been
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Congress should investigate fully the January 6 riot at the Capitol—and similar recent riots at iconic federal sites. But unfortunately, it never will. Why not? The current committee is not bipartisan. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) forbade Republican nominees traditionally selected by the House minority leader to serve on the […]
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?
Listen to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler on the January-6th committee, Trump’s reaction to it and his re-election possibilities, the failed assassination attempt of Justice Kavanaugh, the Left’s “justice” in general, and the recall of Chesa Boudin.

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 […]
