Listen to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss correcting problems caused by progressive Biden, WSJ anti-Trump writers, Biden flew illegal immigrants in, Ukraine war, Europe “says” they want to go independent, de-politicizing and de-weaponizing justice, Democrats on the reconciliation bill, Buttigieg, and Alan Simpson passes away.

Hearing Dr. Hanson re-hash the politics of 2016, ’20, ’22… Schumer and his reaping the whirlwind, the multiple civil suits, DOJ-coordinated corruption, the border, etc., and the names of all the associated creeps, repelled me viscerally; because of how horrible it truly was.
However, being reminded of their recent subversion of civilization is necessary because none of them have yet been held responsible, that I know of anyway.
By the way, March 19th as Mr. Fowler points out is in fact important on the West Coast, or at least was, for traditionally St. Joseph’s Day is the date the “Swallows Come Back to Capistrano.”
I was sorry to hear at the beginning of this podcast that you have been battling a number of ailments for some time now. Let me wish you a full and quick recovery and thank you for carrying on despite the current difficulties.
Some Irishman Jack is, to have never heard of Ard-Rí na hÉireann Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf in 23 April 1014 where the Irish routed Sigtrygg Silkbeard, Máel Mórda mac Murchada, King and a Viking army from abroad led by Sigurd of Orkney.
By the way, the first person to use the term “The United States of America” was an Irish-American. On March 7, 1776 George Washington made a man named Stephen Moylan his aide-de-camp and a lieutenant colonel in the Continental Army. Moylan went on to serve various roles in the Revolutionary Army, from quartermaster general to commander of a dragoon regiment to head of cavalry to brigadier general. But what makes this Irish Catholic immigrant so important in the history of the States is that Moylan is the first person on record to use the term “United States of America,” in a Jan. 2, 1776, letter from Washington’s headquarters.
The New England Historical Society explains:
On Jan 2, 177i6 Moylan wrote a letter to his friend Joseph Reed. He thought the colonies could use an ambassador to Spain. He knew the country and thought he could do the job.
‘I should like vastly to go with full and ample powers from the United States of America to Spain.’
And I thought Charles Carroll (of Carrollton) was the only significant Irish Catholic during the Revolutionary War era. Perhaps he was a hereditary member of the Society of the Cincinnati (as an officer in the Continental Army) whereas Charles Carroll only an honorary memeber.
America is named after an Italian. Just saying for no particular reason.
Alas I am not an Irishman — just an American of Irish and Italian descent, 3nd generation on the former, 2nd generation on the latter. Very happy for you Charles that you out-Irish me. Embrace your victory. When you come to the Irish Heritage Society in Milford I will buy you a beer to celebrate. I will have recovered by then from the beatdown.
I think “normalcy” is the word you’re thinking of, Vic. Coined by Warren G. Harding, if I am not mistaken.
