 I don't know if it's DEI or what, but why doesn’t the U.S. Secret Service emphasize shooting ability all the time? It seemed like the old guard—the old breed in the 1960s—were pretty good about that.

My premise is this: They're in a unique situation in that they have a president that has now been the target of three attempted assassinations in which shots were fired one way or the other. We've never had that in the history of the country, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” 

Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc argue the Iran war has been highly asymmetrical and strategically successful, rejecting media claims about Iran’s remaining capabilities and urging sustained pressure to force concessions while oil dynamics shift, including UAE talk of leaving OPEC and the potential for prices to fall.

Hanson says Middle Eastern states quietly favor the U.S. effort, while European leaders attack America for domestic political reasons despite relying on U.S. power; he portrays Germany and Britain as weakened by energy, immigration, demographic decline, and disarmament, and reads King Charles’ visit as an attempt to mend ties while avoiding Iran.

They also cover China’s Belt and Road leverage via loans and labor requirements, condemn repeated Secret Service breakdowns amid multiple Trump assassination attempts, praise Trump’s pushback against Nora O’Donnell, decry California’s soaring high-speed rail costs, and debate Navy procurement toward dispersed, drone-heavy platforms.
