Victor and Jack analyze the constitution of the No Kings rallies, the legacy of Thomas Sowell, Japan’s new Prime Minister and its military posture, and the rising trend of anti-Semitism among young Americans, and more.

A nickname for the Mustang was the Cadillac of the skies. Not for its size, which was relatively smaller than the Thunderbolt, but for its quality and performance.
The Thunderbolt was nicknamed the Jug. There were two sources for that nickname, that converged. One was Juggernaut, the big Hindu processional cart. Made sense, for the P-47’s size and power. The other one was jug as in a milk jug or bottle, in reference to its shape.
And yes, the P-47 was rugged. It could take a lot of punishment and bring its pilot home. The Mustang’s liquid-cooled engine was vulnerable. (The Navy preferred rotary engines for that reason, their survivability.) But it was otherwise rugged, too. That was a trademark of most of our aircraft. Like our cars-big, reliable, able to take a beating but still work.

Thank you, VDH, for the excellent commentary on Thomas Sowell. Mr. Sowell is a great man and we will surely miss him.
(I miss being able to read new views from Walter Williams as well. though he was not part of your discussion on this program.)

A clarification-Japan’s new Akagi and Kaga are not fleet carriers. They are cruiser hybrids that carry helicopters and some STOL aircraft. They are not comparable to our large carriers, but their mission is also different from the power-projection mission a Nimitz or a Gerald Ford carries out.
In a way, they represent a newer way of looking at naval assets, from our doctrine, which is now 80 years old.

So in other words, the psychologist who describes the “No Kings” protesters as……
Wait for it…..
KARENS!
Sorry, Vic! You took an oath not to use that term. But I didn’t.
