Trump HAUNTED by his RETREAT to the INFAMOUS BUNKER
Trump, who has a professed fetish for executions and firing squads, and thinks “The Purge” is a documentary, threatened to have one of his White House staffers executed for leaking that he cowardly retreated to a White House bunker during the BLM protests. Michael Popok examines Trump’s threat to execute his political enemies, his demonstrated record of using the death penalty, and his interest in accelerating its use if he were restored to office along with a corrupt Attorney General of his choice.

Judge Cannon SIGNALS Next MAJOR MOVE, It’s UNLAWFUL
Florida Judge Cannon in the Trump Mar a Lago criminal case is on the verge of REVERSING a key decision by the Chief Judge of the DC court that found that Trump committed a “crime or fraud” with his then Mar a Lago attorney Evan Corcoran, that would lead to the 50 pages of Corcoran’a damning notes about Trump and his audio recordings about Trump’s criminality, being SUPPRESSED from the jury. Michael Popok explains which motion pending before Cannon he is most worried about as it could scuttle the prosecution’s case.

CORRUPT Supreme Court POISON PILL in Ruling EXPOSED
Don’t be fooled by the 9-0 Supreme Court decision about the use of medicated abortion pills. It is nothing more than a Trojan Horse invitation for a future case to come before the MAGA majority to prevent the use of medicated abortions in the near future, and permission for a new Trump presidency to further attack a woman’s reproductive rights. Michael Popok dives into the new decision and explains why it is cold comfort but a call to action for the presidential election.

Supreme Court Buries CODED MESSAGE in RULING
Michael Popok finds that buried in a new decision by the MAGA Supreme Court about whether the phrase “Trump is Small” can be copyrighted under the First Amendment is the making of a feud between Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett. He reports over her rejecting MAGA’s use of phony “historical analogies” without historical context, to strike down proper regulations, strip away a woman’s right, and deny sensible gun control laws. Is this the beginning of the end for the use of phony “history” to trample rights and protect Americans? Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!
