In this weekend episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc discuss the Eric Adams’ indictment, celebrity-military endorsements of Harris, the polls, the prime interest rate, and take a deep look into the defeat of Norway and Denmark at the onset of World War II.

Hi Victor – I think the beginning of the end of the war in Ukraine starts with the US stating that Ukraine will not be part of NATO. I think all that has happened there is the result of this position
Regarding the Adam’s indictment: my immediate speculation was that the indictment was punishment for NOT playing along with the ‘narrative’ on illegal immigrates; i.e. criticizing the Biden/Harris Administration for letting massive numbers of illegals end up in NYC causing all sorts of budget and social issues from housing, crime, healthcare, education etc. without any Federal support.
I have no illusions that Adam’s probably deserves these indictments, however so do many Democrats, the Clintons & Bidens as examples; but any Democrat gets a pass unless they step out of line, then the hammer is put down., no?
I agree with you, Stephen. It’s not the content of the charges, whether they’re valid or not. An investigation will answer that. It’s the timing.

Historical and Revision Notes
Revised section Source (U.S. Code) Source (Statutes at Large)
888 50:682. May 5, 1950, ch. 169, §1 (Art. 88), 64 Stat. 135 .
The word “commissioned” is inserted for clarity. The words “the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of the Treasury, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession” are substituted for the words “Vice President, Congress, Secretary of Defense, or a Secretary of a Department, a Governor or a legislature of any State, Territory, or other possession of the United States”.
Retired officers who held “regular” commissions (as opposed to reservists and National Guard) are
considered to be “retained” by their retirement pay; still subject to UCMJ.
I believe Ms. Harris was supposed to have worked at a MacDonalds in Alameda in the Bay Area. There are two of those. The question remains, why would she go that far for that summer job when there are MacDonalds in Berkley?
No one has come forward yet to confirm her story. I think it’s a lie, and her supporters have no intent in looking at it closely at all.
