Tuning Out Wokism
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness If wokeness should continue and “win,” by now we all know where it will end up. After all, this is not a prairie-fire, peasants-with-pitchforks, spontaneous bottom-up revolution. The woke Left seeks a top-down erasure of America, engineered by the likes of LeBron James from his $40 million estate talking […]
VDH Podcast: The Traditionalist
VDH and his co-host Jack Fowler open with their first episode on the latest news.
A Child’s World of Animals
Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers Part One One of the problems of the modern world is our helicopter society of well-meant, but over-parentage. Or is it the belief that the more we shield and protect our children, the safer they become, as if a houseplant carefully tended can survive when thrust outside among weeds and […]
Eeyore’s Cabinet: California Dreaming
If one came from Mars and examined the policies of the California legislature, courts, state-wide officials and governor, one would conclude that it is designed to destroy the emerging Mexican-American middle class (if we can even use such a sloppy term for vastly increasing numbers of so-called mixed marriages and families). The cause ultimately is […]
Are Americans Becoming Sovietized?
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness What ultimately ended the nihilist Soviet system? Was it not that Russians finally tired of the Kremlin’s lies and hypocrisies that permeated every facet of their falsified lives? Here are 10 symptoms of Sovietism. Ask yourself whether we are headed down this same road to perdition. 1) There was […]

Optimism, Inc.: One Too Many Lies?
Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers I think daily, incrementally, insidiously the number of Americans that does not believe official Ministry of Truth communiques grows larger. And the number promulgating them for careerist purposes shrinks. The white-driven, Anti-Asian hate-crime spree lie is about dead. The data showed the very opposite: whites were under-represented as generic […]
The Bleak Biden Way
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness After a hundred days of President Biden, I think most Americans are now on to what will follow in the next few years. Joyless Joe Biden frowns. He grimaces. He occasionally barks and yells as he delivers a gloomy view of America and its people, past and present. Admit […]

Eeyore’s Cabinet: Thoughts on the Economy
Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers As I wrote not long ago, I think we can expect a big boom of pent-up demand coming that will result in 5 percent or so of annualized GDP growth, maybe as early in late second or third quarter of 2021 lasting until mid-year next year but accompanied by […]
The Peculiar Institution of Higher Education
Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Nothing is now stranger than the contemporary college campus. Not too long ago, Americans used to idolize their universities. Indeed, in science, math, engineering, medicine and business, these meritocratic departments and schools often still remain the world’s top-ranked. Certainly, top-notch higher education explains much of the current scientific, technological, […]
Fragments of Memory
Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers Two days ago, I drove in a 5-square-mile radius and noticed that the 100 or so farms I grew up with are all gone. Caput. Everyone. Not one grandkid, relative, etc. seems to be farming. The acreage seems either rented out or sold off. The land is usually leased […]
