Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all of my Substack readers! Thank you for accompanying me on this blogging journey. I hope to continue to provide you with independent news and analysis on issues affected your freedom and mine in the months and years ahead.

A special thank you to my paying suscribers, who have given me an extra boost to keep putting in the time and effort required for this blog, and helped me cover the costs of video and sound recording equipment and software.

Best wishes to all!

Yours sincerely,

David
