Patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock quietly slipped out of Boston after receiving intelligence from their spies that British forces were preparing to move against them.
That same day, Paul Revere rode into Concord with an urgent warning: the British planned to march on the town to seize the colonial stores of gunpowder and weapons.
Heeding the alert, the citizens of Concord immediately began moving their military supplies out of the town and hiding them in neighboring communities.
Why is this significant? It meant the British objective at Lexington and Concord was already doomed to fail before a single shot was fired.

I’m elated that my interview with Director Patel pissed off all of the right media people. I thoroughly enjoy watching you all rage out and claw at your own faces, along with your daily burning sessions of me in effigy as I destroy your bullshit narratives.
I know schadenfreude is probably wrong, but I gently hope that all of my shows moving forward cause you the same anguish and intestinal distress.
Respectfully,
Dan
