I couldn't agree with you more about Trump. How he has hoodwinked so many people is a mystery. Probably have Fox News to blame for 24/7 boosterism of him and his loony ideas. At least we can be thankful today that the Tucker Carlson cancer has been booted from Fox News and hopefully he's not the last of the Trump acolytes who have convinced the peanut-munching GOP crowd that he is our last and only hope to "make America great again" who will be shoved out.
Thank you Martin. You've earned from me a compliment here in that I could have (should have) written this edition of The Witness Chronicles. As an old man (closing in on 80) I sometimes wonder if perhaps the crochety demons have invalidated my opinions. Then along comes along comes a youngster like you who supports the hope I have for a more sane and kinder world.
I followed you over from Medium to Substack. You inspired me to start putting my writing here in my own newsletter. My experience on Medium has been similar (no viral content for me though) in that my views are mostly external and thus nearly meaningless there. One founding member here from a true fan and I already earn more on Substack than my pittance on Medium. I hope to continue to follow in your footsteps!
Glad to hear it, Sue. Both platforms have their pluses and minuses. My Medium writing pays a lot more than Substack right now but I’m willing to let it gradually grow. Medium is responsible for at least half of my Substack subscribers, so I’ve found ways to leverage using both platforms.

I love Martin's perspective and his ability to convey it so clearly.
Thanks Steve, I’m 68, so not exactly a youngster!
