This morning is the 250th anniversary of the first battle in what would become the American Revolutionary War.
One quarter of a millennium. Lots of bad and good along the way; lots of corruption and moral compromise; some moments of real courage and honor.
A Republic, if we can keep it.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.
