As you have seen, I have begun to do video commentaries over the past few weeks. Sometimes they will accompany an essay. Other times, I may just post a video without an associated essay (like today).
When I began The Warning last summer, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to sustain writing on an almost daily basis. Since 2011, I have provided my perspective on the news of the day on TV, but I certainly wasn’t known for my writing. In fact, I’ve probably written less than 10 memos in my entire career! When my wife initially suggested that I start a Substack, my response was: “What’s that? I’m not interested.”
I’ve come to enjoy the rhythm of writing daily. I do it on my iPhone (no judgement, please). I am truly overwhelmed by the positive response and high level of engagement from this community. I read all of your comments. Your reactions, observations and insights fuel me to continue with my writing, so I thank you all.
With the launch of my video commentaries, I now have a presence on several platforms. I hope you will support my work by:
Subscribing to these channels outside of the Substack platform: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and Post.
Considering an upgrade if you are currently a free subscriber to support this expanded endeavor. You can do so here:
Today’s video commentary:
As we mark the one-year anniversary of Russia invading Ukraine, I break down where the world stands one year later. I discuss the danger President Biden and the United States face from Vladimir Putin and Russia, Xi Jinping and China, and Ali Khamenei and Iran. I also believe that MAGA Republicans’ positions of isolationism, stemming from the Donald Trump administration, are similar to home-grown fascist movements during World War II.
Have a watch. I welcome your comments, as always (note: only paid subscribers are able to comment):
Chilling.
Why are you no longer presenting on Niccole Wallace's show. More people get the message that way.
It is important to lay down markers, to catalogue events, mark the spreading stain of fascism wherever it is found as well as our national and global efforts to reclaim the primacy of all peoples and nations to establish sovereignty and exist with the expectation of freedom.
It would be revealing and instructive to do a deep dive into the money trails, follwing all of the sinewy pathways, portals, dark alleys and dungeons....we might be disgusted, disheartened, but not truly surprised at what we find. (Loop in the whole DeSantis schmear).
Thank you for all of your continued efforts. Have a fabulous weekend, Steve and community.
