Victor Davis Hanson A Child’s Garden of Animals Each March swarms of blackbirds arrive in the yard to mate, nest, hatch their eggs—and make themselves detested.

VDH UltraAngry Readers 04-04-22

VDH UltraWalking the Ukrainian Tightrope. Part Three, 8-10.
Victor Davis HansonHistorian’s Corner 8. History. It is critical to cite historical exempla. So by all means we need to learn of the tortured 500-year relationship between Ukraine and Russia.

History Should Be Our Guide in Ukraine
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness There are several historical referents we should keep in mind about the Ukraine war. First, no-fly zones.

VDH UltraWalking the Ukrainian Tightrope. Part One, 1-4.
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner We hear daily dozens of Ukrainian war contradictions. One news show seems at odds on the war with the one following it—which is healthy.

The Sheer Madness of Today’s Left
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness With that exclamation, director David Lean ended his epic film about a dutiful but vainglorious British officer who sought to display to his Japanese captors superior British discipline and morale in a prisoner of war camp.
