  1. In regards to those on the left who hate the United States and threaten to leave… Doesn’t any one read “The Man Without a Country” any more?

    For Sami: Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is a restaurant chain that seek to replicate old country stores. They have long porches populated with wooden rocking chairs and checkers tables that ccustomerss can use while waiting to be called. They specialize in country cooking. You can get sweet tea, biscuits and sawmill gravy, etc. The restaurants in California are: CAMARILLO (1),RIALTO (1), ROCKLIN (1), SACRAMENTO (1), SANTA MARIA (1), and VICTORVILLE (1). Cracker barrels were the large wooden kegs that country stores kept flour, sugar, crackers, etc. They sell lots of “old country” items (like the rocking chairs).

    Į discovered your podcasts a year ago and can’t wait for the next one to come! As a resident of Northern VA I am well aware of the crime in DC and need a really good reason to go there! The problem is not the federal US attorney (Jeanine Pirro, who is anything but soft on crime), but the locally elected AG, who is responsible for all juvenile (under18) prosecutions per legislation passed by the very liberal City Council. He regularly downgrades or dismisses charges against arrested youth. Here’s a quote from 2023: “Kids are kids, and when you’re talking about teenagers particular – their brains are developing, their minds are developing, and their(sic) biologically prone to make mistakes – that’s what we’ve all done as we’ve grown up,”. Congress needs to intervene and void that law.

  4. Baron, you and Michael should try and meet for a drink and thank the good Lord we have intellectuals like VDH to give us the honest and objective truth. Who gives a rats ass about pronunciation except you it seems! I have no doubt that Victor was instrumental in assisting Trump in his efforts to get elected. Just sit back and think what we would be facing if Aunt Kamala and Uncle Tim were sitting in the big house focusing on insider trading v peace in our time!!

  5. Guys,
    Cracker Barrel is a very popular sit down restaurant out here in the middle of the country….sadly none in California…..when you leave the left coast be sure to eat at Cracker Barrel and stop for gas and snacks at a Bucee’s!
    Love your books, podcasts and essays! Keep it up!

  6. Dear Professor, I am so envious of your incredible memory. Thank God you have it. We all learn so much from you.
    I write on substack under “Devere’s substack”I quote you often.

    I served in the Army. Vietnam, as a matter of fact I am in Saigon writing this. My wife and I have lived here 36 years.
    You mentioned today, Sat the 15th, the Generals and Milly, Austin and the rest. Once these officers get that bird, 0-6, full colonel, all they can think about is “the star”. Everything they do and say from that point is 100-% political and geared towards promotion. I served under an exception. General Hal Moore. The general cared only about his men and mission. I think we have around 24, 4 star generals today. In WW II we had 2. Trump and Pete Hegseth need to retire twenty 4 stars and as many three stars. The entire general corps needs to be rifted. I’m also a retired cop. Thank you for your common sense and your bravery to tell people what they don’t want to hear but need to. I write about crime and race in the worst places. I won’t hold back as you don’t. What I tell readers, black folks don’t behave like these ghetto types we see on the news or on you tube. Black, white, brown, whatever, decent people are just that. Decent.
    Thank you professor, and keep swinging. You are making a difference!

    Sami, Cracker Barrel is a chain restaurant that features traditional American comfort food in large portions, and has a country aesthetic. “Cracker Barrel Old Country Store” is the full name. They’re often found along highways.

    I’m not sure Welch is smart or witty enough to have said it for the meaning of “cracker” as “poor white people” (which originated in Britain, by the way).

    AUGH! I can’t stand the mispronunciations anymore!

    It’s “marr”, not “mayer”.
    It’s “leh-TEE-shuh”, not “leh-TEE-tuh”
    It’s “hah-KEEM”, not “HI-chem” (Sami got that one right, though)
    It’s “commensurate” as a synonym for “equal, same”, not “commiserate” (to express pity or sorrow for someone)
    It’s “meritocratic”, not “mericratic” (or is there an apostrophe understood for the missing syllable?)

    Sorry, I just couldn’t keep it in any longer.
