    Really enjoy CJ’s alternative view of history. Don’t always agree with his politics, but his episodes are lively, insightful and challenging. Particularly like his Wilson series!

Q: What's the old phrase they use?
Scientific progress happens one funeral at a time.
Reissue: DHP Ep. 59: The American Revolution, Part II: 1775
Q: What does Washington's appointment as general signify about the direction of the revolution?
Washington's appointment as Commander-in-Chief represents a move towards a conventional European military approach, which may run counter to the grassroots, insurgent nature of the revolution.

While there was minimal pushback during Anslinger's tenure, later studies like the LaGuardia Commission demonstrated that the claims about marijuana were largely unfounded, but these findings received little attention.
Ep. 0276: Back in the USSA
Q: How did Yeltsin come to be the president of Russia?
He was elected as president of the Russian Republic during political reforms initiated by Gorbachev, and it was during a time when he was seen as a hero for standing up to hardliners.
