There are many excellent Substacks, and I like them all. What I most appreciate about your writings is how informative they are, in addition to being well expressed. You and Heather Cox Richardson share a talent for “seeing” what matters in the day’s noise and communicating it effectively. Truth and reality are under siege from both bad actors and complicit media - voices for what’s true and real are ever more crucial.

While this letter was about horrid acts and even more horrid people, it made me laugh today. Well done! Clever writing!

Great read, and I didn't know all those things, so I'm now more caught-up with our bad news.

I pulled: "China has responded to Ukraine’s accusation that it's supplying Russia with drone components, chemical products, and gunpowder by clutching its diplomatic pearls and calling the claims “political manipulation.” Never mind that Ukrainian intelligence traced 80% of Russian drone electronics back to Chinese origins, or that NATO has labeled China a “decisive enabler” of Putin’s war. Beijing is still playing peacekeeper in public and quartermaster in private."
