You are SO right about the need for continuing to fight this fight and I can only do so much and you are one of my chief advisers. As the previous comment said you "bring some sanity into my life " and we will need you and the dogs more than ever. Especially you. The dogs are pretty great too, tho.

Thank you, Charlie, for all your work from when I first began reading your Bulwark articles and listening to your Bulwark podcasts. If my devices were not quick enough to bring forth your work, my mind was saying, "Give me Charlie or give me death!" And I love your excellent dog pictures so keep them coming. Grandma from Canada.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I started listening to you way back in the early Bulwark days and wasn't sure I liked you. But then, I kept listening. And, found I agreed more than disagreed. I don't always understand enough about politics to get the nuance of this decision or that, so appreciate when someone connects the dots.

I look forward to listening to a podcast by you. Happy holidays!

Thank you for your thoughtful words and for your viewpoint. I always feel a little bit more informed after reading your newsletter. I’ve been following you since shortly after you started the Bulwark and there wasn’t a day I missed your podcast. Can’t wait to do it all again when you’re back on the airwaves. Happy Holidays!

Those are the most gorgeous German Shepherds I’ve ever seen, truly. And there are many in my neighborhood.

God bless you and your loved ones (of course including the dogs.) Look forward to hearing more from you whenever that transpires.

Thank you for keeping your head about you and taking us all with you. I imagine it's your family and dogs that keep you grounded. My lab does the same. She won't tolerate long faces. The cat's no help. She just looks down her nose disapprovingly, like the old lady she is.

My old lady Siamese cat teaches me that having standards and sticking up for yourself is part of any healthy relationship of equals.
