Why We Lost Trust in the Expert Class
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness For years, European policy makers had assured the world that the relatively rapid “transition” to “green” energy was the world’s preordained future—regardless of the costs. Accordingly, many European Union governments followed the advice of green experts. They eagerly shut down coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants to transition immediately […]
VDH UltraThe Ridiculous Roadshow of Gavin Newsom
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner The California governor, on the scent of a progressive effort to ensure Joe Biden does not run in 2024, is touring the country. Oddly, he talks of a “free” California, as he tries to contrast his record with the terms of Texas governor Greg Abbott and Gov. Ron DeSantis of […]
VDH UltraCivilization in Reverse? Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson We certainly have more freedom now, but from what? To have our 90-year-old mother in a scary home rather than in the back bedroom. To spot our supposedly “crazy” brother as a homeless person defecating in the street rather than living in the garage back home? Was the flight across the country […]
The Waning of Trust in Our Leaders

Are the New Progressive Rules Reciprocal?
Victor Davis HansonAmerican Greatness In the era of peak woke we are supposed to accept any radical departure from long-held custom and tradition as the new normal. Perhaps. But if so, is the improved new code of behavior at least reciprocal? Will the radical Left really wish to live by its own novel normality when […]

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.

Most outsiders have already forgotten the heroic Ukrainian winter repulse […]
The Wreck of Progressivism

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 […]
