I’d give this piece a 9.5 out of 10. Definitely a sound evaluation on all fronts and validates why I’m a subscriber! Reading your honest observations made me wonder why we can’t get an evaluation like this on any topic from the media? Quickly occurred to me that you’re not trying to keep a political position or a job, lol! Keep up the good work!!

Thanks. It makes one wonder how I kept my untenured position at ISU all of those years, eh? It turns out that you inoculate yourself against political revenge by calling out everyone. It's counterintuitive, but it's true. You can be about as rough as you want, so long as you're fair.

Pretty much how I see it - although I'll also give Trump kudos for calling out anti-Semitism (Fetterman as well).
