Victor Davis Hanson Eeyore’s Cabinet Americans are struggling to find a way to deter Vladimir Putin’s Russia from gobbling up Ukraine and then eyeing the Baltic States next. Most of us see Putin as a thug who will do anything to recreate the borders of the Soviet Union, unless he is deterred. But we acknowledge […]
The Governor of Oceania by Victor Davis Hanson Imagine you were governor of California. And the embattled and robbed Union Pacific railroad was threatening to curtail rail operations in and out of the largest port in the United States at Los Angeles and associated rail hubs. It complains that trains could not pass-through the city
An Arrest Warrant is a “REAL” ID? by Victor Davis Hanson Apparently, the Biden administration faced a dilemma. When you let in nearly two million illegal aliens within a fiscal year, and destroy all immigration law as we know it, how do you still manage to ensure new arrivals inclusion and equity? Or more specifically,
Not So Angry Reader at All, #1 I am an ardent fan of yours (my wife is as well). I’ve (hopefully attached) a recent Imprimis article which I’m sure you’ve read, knowing your close relationship with Hill[s]dale College. I am an angry reader, but angry with the left. I can’t seem to find a way
Angry Reader #1 It’s so wonderful to see you continuing to suck on the ass of your fellow gutless pussy-trump. You are exactly like the pantheon of blowhard right-wing pussies (carlson, hannity, limbaugh, coulter, ingraham, malkin, huckabee, pence, o’reilly etc.) who never served a fucking day, but sit on your fucking ass waving the flag
Victor Davis HansonEeyore’s Cabinet The following assessments and suggestions for change are not exaggerations about higher education in America. Universities are now openly political agents, not disinterested places of learning. Their faculty and administration are overwhelmingly leftwing, to the point, according to surveys and campaign donation data, of being over 90 percent Democratic/Leftwing. But they
Victor Davis HansonWords Matter If we used the leftwing standard of supposed requisite requirements for a vice-presidential candidate that the Left felt was never met by the pilloried Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin (remember how they called George H. W. Bush and John McCain “reckless” for choosing such running mates?), then how do we characterize
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner IV. The Republican and Democratic Splits There are quasi-religious and bitter schisms in both parties. On the Right, national and cultural populists vie with shrinking establishment, libertarian, and pre-2016 Republicans; on the Left, radical Jacobins and Socialists versus the Manchinian remnants of the old Democratic Party. But the divisions—ignore the media
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner III. An Agenda Can the Republicans move beyond just completing the original, necessary Trump agenda on closing the border, legal-only immigration, deterrence against China, energy production, and immunity from optional military engagements in the Middle East, and industrial and manufacturing resurgence in the rust belt, and conservative judicial appointments? What would
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner I. The Midterm Hype We can imagine the hit commercials. On the Left, the Democrats will not wish to highlight their two-year record on the economy, Afghanistan, energy, the border, critical race theory, or almost anything. So? No surprise, it will be nonstop, 24-7, 360-degrees, forever and always January 6!
