The Thomas Sowell Tribute was not posthumous so we aren’t missing him yet.

Prof. Hansen, I have a thought to contribute on the question of why anti Semitism never goes away. In Judaism, justice between man and man is distinct from justice between man and G*d. At the New Year, Jews are required to make right any injustice they have committed against another human being, restitution must be made, or it can be a matter of apologizing for thoughtless speech. Divine forgiveness for infractions is entirely separate, between the individual and the Lord.. I think the Western Christian world has lost its belief in reason and justice; it’s become a privilege of the wealthy and powerful. Jews are an uncomfortable reminder of how it’s supposed to work, how the founders of our government intended it to work. Thank you for your conversations.

I think that presidential speechwriter you were thinking about was William Safire.

What happened to the “ULTRA” videos??

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.

Kings?
You really think President Trump is out here trying to crown himself like Henry VIII? Be serious.
Kings conquer empires and silence dissent by force. Trump is ending endless wars—not starting them. He’s breaking the grip of globalist elites—not annexing countries for fun.
You’re protesting the only politician in decades who actually kept the promises he made to the people. Meanwhile, the career politicians you worship have lied to you for years—and you applaud them like trained seals.
Trump is securing the border, defending American workers, and putting this country first. And what are you doing? Throwing tantrums over warning labels and pretending your feelings are a national crisis.
You’re not oppressed. You’re just bored.
Your lives lack meaning, so you manufacture outrage to feel important.
You call it activism—I call it performance art for people desperate to be seen.
You’re not fighting for justice. You’re fighting for attention.
And here’s the irony—you’re being played.
By the media. By corporate interests. By the same political elite you claim to hate. They use you, feed you slogans, and you march exactly where they tell you. That’s not resistance—that’s obedience.
Trump doesn’t need your approval to succeed, and that drives you insane. So keep marching in circles, chanting hashtags, and pretending you’re part of a revolution.
You’re not stopping Trump.
You’re not saving democracy.
You’re not even winning the argument.
While you’re shouting, he’s building. Whil
