I agree with your take on the Dorito parade. It gave me a queasy feeling!
I remember Admiral Stockdale, Ross Perot’s running mate. He was a clown; a barking dog, like Ross Perot was a dog…Ross ruined an assured 2nd term for George Herbert Walker Bush, by stealing votes. The fucker drops out of the race, and then comes back in? who does that?
An asshat. Thanks Ross, burn in hell please…
Thank you for sharing the good news about Stanford.
Thank you so much again for your words of wisdom and candid remarks about some of public figures who hope to influence “deplorable” citizens
The destruction of the U.S. military by General Milley and leftist politics is reason enough for democrats to wake up and vote for Trump.
Make America Safe Again
Dr. Hanson:
I don’t understand why you continue to decry President Trump campaigning in places like California and New York after reminding us over and over that a Republican Presidential candidate has not won the National popular vote in decades. How do you think one achieves that?
1. President Trump may want to do that to fight against non-certification and to prove a point.
2. If he wins the National popular vote, he may pick up some electoral college votes from places like Maine that has committed (I believe) to casting its electoral votes to the winner of the National popular vote regardless of how its disenfranchised “citizens” vote.
Limited resources and time available. Using them in CA and NY doesn’t strike me as prudent. That’s the kind of thinking that lead Hillary to make NO appearances in Wisconsin in 2016. In 2004 Bush put resources in CA that almost cost him the election.
Looking back on this feedback from Charles Carroll it appears that he is “Right ON’ target with his comments, concerns and thoughts. We know that a national campaign has limited resources of money and candidate time to expend, but if you aren’t trying to build and expand your base while sharing your message what is the real purpose of the campaign especially in todays balanced (left/right) or unbalanced electorate. The candidate needs to get out, meet and greet the people so that they can appreciate and understand their message, policies and personality. The results in the Blue Wall states, Virginia and even New York demonstrate the benefit of Trumps campaign strategy. He (they) really, actually expanded the conservative base and won the national popular vote for the first time since 2004. All while truly demonstrating the inadequacies of Kamala’s message, policies, and personality. Kamala’s tool kit was/is totally deficient to run and manage her campaign and was the coup de grace as such. She demonstrated in a public way her inability to be President of the United States; and Trump accomplished the opposite by going nominally into the adversaries base camp and sharing his time and message. He did this with a large “Never Trump” political hump to overcome, with a national press in support. The results of 5 November 2024 speak for themselves.
Remember Howard Hughes? He went out of his way to help the government
and the government went out of their way to treat him bad.
Also cancel culture is an automatic loser since they have indefensible ideas.
You’re talking about Professor John Gill, Vic. “Patterns of Force”, one of the lesser episodes of the original “Star Trek”.
I made that comparison myself, when Biden got elected. Even without the senility, he’s always been too stupid to do things on his own. His only intelligence lies in his grifter’s sense, to enrich himself and his family, regardless of all else.
Good on you, Jack! You stated during the show when the podcast was being recorded, which is so relevant to the constantly and rapidly changing new cycle.
Also the referral to “the cement is hardening“ what a great Analogy. It is palpable. And I think true. I might have to stop telling myself “shut up Jack” 🙂
VDH,
Kamala Harris just finished her interview with Bret Baier, I can’t wait for your assessment.
I just posted the following on Bret Baier’s X page.
Bret, that was the Rodger Mudd moment we were looking for.
She will not recover from this interview.
Kamala wanted to get away with the nonsense/ talking points/ cliches she has been using since her debate with President Trump, just like she has been doing in all her interviews since -you would not have any of it.
In three weeks Kamala Harris will be a be a footnote in history, never to be heard from again.
Bret, you will go down in history for ending this inept politicians career.
Ironically the Democrats coup to get rid of Joe Biden backfired.
Thank you Bret, you did a service to every American that has suffered through the last 3 1/2 years of Biden/Harris.
Professor
Sometimes the profundity of quality in a dialogue is found in it’s parenthetics. Your reference to the praeteritio of Demosthenes v. Aeschines-the infamous gossip trope-was simply a passing hat tip to the heated political rhetorical tricks of today; extemporaneously relevant & brilliant. It makes the current level of political discourse, 2400 years later, seem puerile, vulgar, coarse & unsophisticated by comparison.
Believe me, your parenthetics don’t go unrecognized.
Kudos

The Stockdale moment is a fascinating and self evident truth that everyone has to face. Even the Democratic Party.
I can’t comment on Mr Walz’s difficulty with his Beretta A400. A $2000 shotgun may have some features that the ones I am familiar with don’t.
