## Resource

I think a good description of 2026, culturally, economically, socially, and politically, is that we are in a modern medieval world. One part of our society is advancing at lightning speed into the future and progressing. But the other part is regressing, and regressing at a phenomenal pace back to what I would call the medieval period. America has never been richer, more technologically advanced, or more capable of solving basic problems, yet its cities are increasingly plagued by crime, disease, homelessness, and public disorder, and members of its “progressive” class continue to excuse blatant killers, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites: Visit https://historicsites.heritage.org/ to start your adventure today.
