VDH UltraThe Real Fascism: Part One
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner About once a week a progressive or Never Trumper writes about Trump’s “destruction” of the Constitution and the “existential threat” he posed to democracy—without providing much evidence other than a boilerplate Trump tweet.

Can the FBI Be Salvaged?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Washington, D.C.-based Federal Bureau of Investigation has lost all credibility as a disinterested investigatory agency. Now we learn from a whistleblower that the agency was allegedly investigating moms and dads worried about the teaching of critical race theory in their kids’ schools. In truth, since 2015, the FBI has […]
VDH UltraGaming the Trump Scenarios
Victor Davis HansonHistorian’s Corner 1. Isn’t it a given that if Trump runs, most Republican voters would probably vote for him in the primaries? A.

Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner President Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain claimed that the Democratic implosions two weeks ago were due to Virginian voters who were furious that Biden has not “done more.” That “more” is now defined as borrowing variously anywhere from $4-6 trillion for “infrastructure” (a term used to define anything from […]
Why the Left Always Projects
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Left is addicted to projection—the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents. The woke apparently do this out of some Freudian effort to square the circle of their own guilt or sense of privilege, by fobbing off their own fearful realities onto others. It […]

VDH UltraA Child’s Garden of Animals: Remembering the Attack of the Rabbit-Leprechauns
Victor Davis HansonChild’s Garden Growing up in a rural multiethnic community, I remember all sorts of unfamiliar hysterias. Once a household by the local rural market about two miles from our home announced that the Virgin of Guadalupe had appeared on their shower door, etched in calcified sediment, as if on stained glass. Suddenly over […]

History Will Grind Out the Truth
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness “History will figure that out on its own.” That is what Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) recently replied to Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

VDH UltraSuffocating Citizenship in Summer 2020
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner Unfortunately, the pandemic and quarantine were only the first of the many recent stress tests of citizenship.

VDH UltraLest We Forget 2020 and the Agendas Behind It
Historian’s Corner I think we have forgotten just how much the idea of a national quarantine in 2020 was seen as a way to “fundamentally transform” the United States. I say that not as a conspiracist, but one who remembers well what was said by those giddy precisely because they discovered a lever to move […]
Trickle-Down Bidenism
Victor Davis HansonAmerican Greatness Can 10 months really make a real difference in America? Not normally. But weld together a hard-left socialist agenda with the control of the White House and Congress onto the combined forces of progressive woke media, Silicon Valley, the corporate boardrooms, the entertainment industry, academia, and the Wall Street borg—all in […]

VDH UltraHow We Got Here: Remembering the Beginning of Our Plague and the Panic
Victor Davis HansonHistorian’s Corner Whether the Athenian pandemic that destroyed a quarter of the Attic population in 430-29 B.C. and made it nearly impossible for Athens to win the Peloponnesian War, or the outbreaks of Yersinia pestis (A.D. 541–49) that ended the Byzantine emperor Justinian’s grand idea of a reunified Rome headquartered in the East, […]
