The Mysteries of Long COVID
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness When the original strain of COVID-19 arrived in spring 2020, a pandemic soon swept the country. By far most survived COVID. But hundreds of thousands did not.

VDH UltraAn Inferior Present Judges a Superior Past. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson Rural California, like rural America, in the 1960s now seems almost unrecognizable—not so much a different culture as a different universe. Since then, we certainly have advanced materially, but regressed morally. That paradox is often the way of the past as well, at least since some 2,700 years ago when Hesiod railed […]

VDH UltraHow Democracy Dies in Darkness—in Five Easy Steps. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson STEP THREE. Change voting and government rules when they are no longer useful.

The Strangest Thing About ‘Semi-Fascist’ Trump
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness For the Left, Donald Trump is synonymous with “fascism” (or “semi-fascism,” as Joe Biden put it the other day).

VDH UltraHow Democracy Dies in Darkness—in Five Easy Steps. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson What if you believed that the U.S. was in mortal danger because its elections continually led to the wrong results and policy choices?

Will the Republicans Really Win Back the Congress?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The late spring scenario of a massive GOP win—in historic proportions analogous to 1938, 1994, or 2010—is said now to be “iffy.” The Left boasts that it now has a chance at keeping the House, with even better odds for maintaining control over the Senate. Polls are all over the […]

VDH UltraHow and Why Did Democrats Become Revolutionaries? Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson A final postscript to why the rich Left does the damage it does. Having money gives one rule over a family, lots of money over a community, lots more over a state, lots, lots more over a nation. The leftwing multibillionaire feels his life’s lucre was not an advertisement for capitalism, much […]
VDH UltraHow and Why Did Democrats Become Revolutionaries? Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson But if we know how globalized wealth enriched sections of our economy, fueled the leftist takeover, and created would be philanthropic Napoleons intent on remaking the map, why did they use such wealth for such hard-core socialist agendas, so antithetical to how they earned their piles? Lots of reasons explain why cutthroat […]

The Worst and the Stupidest?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Elites have always been ambiguous about the muscular classes who replace their tires, paint their homes, and cook their food. And the masses who tend to them likewise have been ambivalent about those who hire them: appreciative of the work and pay, but also either a bit envious of those […]

VDH UltraHow and Why Did Democrats Become Revolutionaries? Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson In sum, when thousands of atheists and agnostics have access to all the world’s delights with unchecked riches, they both indulge and yet feel terrible about their excess and indulgence. And so, they find causes to redeem their psyches that must satisfy just two criteria: one, the hard, rough consequences of their […]
The Left Failing Or The People Disenchanted
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler examine our elites and elite culture, the Left’s options for 2024, Pelosi’s US-China diplomacy, and why we expect little Left defense of Salman Rushdie.
