Quick Intro
I am a 67-year-old, Computer Engineering graduate, Lehigh '79! and East Stroudsburg High School '75! and Middle Smithfield School '69!
I recomend Dog Shirt Daily and Dog Shirt TV where Ben Wittes of Lawfare along with guests discuss legal, political and, nation security matters. This is a reboot of In Lieu of Fun Show which is what think tank people during the COVID lockdowns. Today I do most of my political writing on https://tomrake.substack.com/
