The Embarrassments of Ideology
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a euphemism for a rigid racialist theology. It deductively postulates that a large percentage of the population is oppressed by racism and sexism, mostly by white males. DEI makes no allowance for the class or wealth of the alleged victims or their supposed… Continue reading The Embarrassments of Ideology
The Lost Generation of the New Alt-Right, Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson It is not at all clear that Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon, or Marjorie Taylor Greene have much, if any, influence on the Jacksonian foreign policy of Donald Trump, which seeks to achieve and maintain deterrence by opportunistically striking at perceived threats to the U.S. without ensuring “forever wars” abroad. Trump’s… Continue reading The Lost Generation of the New Alt-Right, Part Two
The Lost Generation of the New Alt-Right, Part One
Victor Davis Hanson Why suddenly in 2025 has a newer farther right, often overtly anti-Semitic cadre, appeared—as an “alternative,” well beyond the old populist “alternative right” of a past Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul, or the Tea Party? Obvious answer: It did not “suddenly” appear. But more correctly, the “Groyper” movement was growing insidiously for years… Continue reading The Lost Generation of the New Alt-Right, Part One

All were registered, documented, and given rudimentary health exams. They arrived as rich and poor, white and non-white, and, without exception, legally. With the gradual decline… Continue reading Confronting Anti-Ellis Island Immigration
Trump’s Tit-for-Tat Lawfare—or What Exactly? Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson Finally, unlike the Biden revenge tour, the Trump prosecutions will earn mostly negative press. The media is for the most part left-wing. It has never apologized for spreading the collusion hoax, popularizing the laptop ruse, smothering the collaboration of the FBI and social media corporations to silence 2020 campaign-cycle news accounts unfavorable… Continue reading Trump’s Tit-for-Tat Lawfare—or What Exactly? Part Three
Trump’s Tit-for-Tat Lawfare—or What Exactly? Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Another consideration: which is the greater political sin: enforcing the law against an admittedly political enemy, or suspending law enforcement on behalf of a culpable political friend or ally? Translated: why did the Biden administration drop a developing and likely strong DOJ case against John Bolton once he was determined to ignore… Continue reading Trump’s Tit-for-Tat Lawfare—or What Exactly? Part Two
The Race for the Trump Economy
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The current economic indicators, at least those attributable to the 10-month Trump administration, are strong. Fourth-quarter GDP is estimated to grow between 2.7 and 4 percent, the robust latter figure according to the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank. Inflation from June to August ranged from 2.7 to 2.9 percent, significantly lower… Continue reading The Race for the Trump Economy
