For today's podcast, Leighton and I discuss the latest in the Hunter Biden saga, which I began writing about in 2014, and the slippery slope the pardon may create. We also chat about the diminished legacy of Obama, the choices of Trump 2.0, the bizarre targeted killing of the UnitedHealth CEO, and the nature of political populism. Just a heads up. For the next seven days, we are offering a deep discount for an annual subscription to this newsletter. Buy it to save money, as a stocking stuffer gift for a loved one or friend, or let this opportunity serve as a reminder to support independent journalism. Yes, I know there are still issues with major syndication services/apps and this podcast. Still working on resolving them — it’s a little more complicated than I realized. Apologies in advance for the continued delay.
