No Kings, East Wing, Epstein, and Second-Grade Memes | Explainer

I began watching the videos by Heather Cox Richardson this past Spring.  There is no hyperbole, no "OMG!! HAIR ON FIRE!!", just a masterful layout and summary of the political current events of a given moment, and what it means for us, America and the world.  I am going to begin posting links to her pertinent videos as they come available; she makes several a week.  

I have included a link to the Heather Cox Richardson substack on the sidebar of this blog under "Vlogs, podcasts and websites that I enjoy and support".  

Enjoy!

Onward,

Rade

She paints the full picture, which I appreciate. Very much reminds me of early Rachel Maddow; masterful at pulling the parts together into a coherent narrative of facts.

The problem with Rachel is that she went over to the dark side with Chris Hayes, too much hype and cherry-picking of facts to prove her point about, after much cross referencing and patience, "nothing-burgers". I got to the point that I no longer trusted what Maddow was saying.

I have grown to trust Heather. I've cross-referenced her outlines against the available facts and find them sound.
