VDH UltraThe Real Dangers of DEI. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Finally, I would discuss options for the various excellent students, most of them either Hispanic, Asian, black, or poor white. Some wished to teach, and we sought to enhance their careers by placing them in charter, prep, and parochial schools for the most part. For those who wished to be lawyers or […]
VDH UltraThe Real Dangers of DEI. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson The evil of the diversity/equity/inclusion industry—costing the U.S. more than $1 trillion in its last, most radical four years of implementation—was not its fraud alone. We expected fakers like Ibram X. Kendi—born Ibram Henry Rogers to middle-to-upper-middle-class Jamaican immigrant professionals—to be lavished with millions of leftwing guilt money, spend through it without […]

What Are the Left’s Solutions for the Problems They Created?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Wall Street Journal has consistently criticized Trump’s economic policies, particularly his ongoing “trade war” with Canada, over the past several weeks. And certainly, the tensions are regrettable. Trump’s trolling of the insufferable Justin Trudeau, with talk of Canada becoming the “51st state,” perhaps only galvanized the Canadian left. It unfortunately may […]

Is the Jig Up for Elite Higher Education?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Over the last three decades, elite American universities have engaged in economic, political, social, and cultural practices that were often unethical, illegal—and suicidal. They did so with impunity. Apparently, confident administrators assumed that the brand of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and other elite universities was so precious to the nation’s […]
VDH UltraWhat are Trump’s Arguments Against Canada and Mexico?
Mexico. Part Two Trump has four, far bigger, gripes with Mexico. They are more compelling than his Canadian squabbles. One, suddenly Mexico’s trade surpluses are an astounding $170 billion or more. Indeed, it grows second only to China’s! And it is predicated on assembling Chinese materials into finished goods that can thus brazenly escape tariff […]
VDH UltraWhat are Trump’s Arguments Against Canada and Mexico?
Victor Davis Hanson Canada. Part One Trump has been waging a running verbal battle with Canada. And it is based on four of his own pet peeves.

Trump’s Democratic ‘Allies’
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Former Clinton strategist James Carville has reinvented himself at age 80 as a sage Democrat podcaster. His predictions—remember, a victorious Kamala Harris?—are usually wrong. He enjoys engaging in public duels with celebrities to gain online clicks and media appearances. Yet sometimes he appears judicious in his effort to return his […]

VDH UltraUkraine Peace—So Far Away and Still So Close
Victor Davis Hanson After the recent dustup with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the White House, Volodymyr Zelenskyy should have taken a lesson from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Like Ukraine, Israel too is similarly in an existential war—in fact against four adversaries. And likewise, it is dependent on U.S. financial and military aid. […]
VDH UltraMissing Those Good Old Alternatives to Trump? Part Two
3) Pentagon. The military was declared not to be chronically short by 30-50,000 recruits each year—simply by readjusting the required manpower levels downward.
