  • Hitler

    Thanks for all your history

    Recently you and Jack talked about WWII and the bad history from Tucker

    Since Tucker left Fox and he is going wacky and sadly Megyn Kelly is kinda following.

    But I recently watched the movie Downfall on the final days of WWII and end of Hitler

    Even though it has in German I followed the reading the script on the screen

    But I was interested in the end in the bunker there was a portrait on the wall looking like George Washington

    Did I see that right?

    Thanks

Victor Davis Hanson: Ilhan Omar and the Stakes of the Midterms
Q: So I don't know if you have anything on those two races, and then we can look at some of the else.

Q: Doesn't this seem like there, though, that perhaps they would be buying into Elon Musk rather than the country? With such a thing, what's the risk of that?
Hanson says the children would own stock and therefore have an incentive to follow the company and Musk. He considers that engagement with the economy a benefit rather than a drawback.
Europe's Decline Is Becoming Impossible to Ignore | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: Let's start with the riots in France. I noticed that since you and Jack talked about them, Macron is bringing in the army this time around to do things that he says the police will deal with the rioters and they'll be that sort of a backup for other things that the police cannot attend to. But more interesting was Chancellor Mertz in Germany, who said or admitted that it is, quote, most likely the result, these riots, the result of, quote, non-integrated people due to migration. So-
Hanson says the initial student demonstrations were small and that later violence involved anarchists, communists and some immigrants. He cites attacks on property and Jewish-owned businesses, and argues that Europe's welfare burdens, weak economies and political dependence on minority voting blocs make it difficult to address immigration and defense concerns.
