The Intersection with Michael Popok

In breaking news, Trump has had his DOJ make a bad faith court filing of  what appears at first blush to be one of his social media posts to try to exploit the averted tragedy of the WHC Dinner, asking the wrong court and wrong judge to dissolve an injunction that has already been blocked, to permit him to build the Ballroom which he is already allowed to do.  Popok explains how Trump will likely...

Popok reports on outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis confessing on Fox News that his newly redrawn congressional map to accomplish his dream of a state that is 24 seats for Republicans and only 4 for Democrats-- which he hid from his own VOTERS and Legislators--holding each in little regard, actually violates the Florida Constitution.

Popok reports on Trump's capture of mainstream media through the purchase of CNN and CBS by his right wing supporters is already paying dividends, as newly acquired CNN just blamed democratic criticism of Trump and his Administration, calling out his rogue lawlessness and assault on our Constitution, for the averted tragedy at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, taking a page out of Trump's pl...

Popok reports on the Breaking News, that Judge Williams, a federal judge in Miami, has just issued a new order that threatens to find that Trump's manufactured lawsuit against the IRS to shake down an agency he controls for "$10 Billion Dollars" is unconstitutional and illegal, which could lead not only to the cases dismissal, but also hamper Trump's ability to rob the IRS out of billions of tax p...

Popok reports on a major leak out of the White House about a secret meeting in a DC Hotel, that shows that Trump and his Administration know that they will lose the House at least at the midterms and are struggling to hold on to the Senate as Trump is seen by the American People as a loser at home and in Iran, and as losses in state congressional redistricting races and in Iran pile up. Use the li...

The dirty little secret of massive, city-sized, Artificial Intelligence data centers like Musk's "Colossus Gas Plant" that powers its Grok Chatbot, is that they are purposely built in black and brown neighborhoods and are powered by dirty gas turbine engines spewing thousands of tons of pollutants into the air and water, killing its residents slowly.  Popok is joined by Abre (put a accent mark on...

Popok reports on Senate Democrats ready to grill Trump's Fed Chair pick Kevin Warsh about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein disclosed in the last dump of Epstein files (can't Trump pick anyone who IS NOT connected to Epstein?), along with his shadowy finances he refuses to disclose and his willingness to bend the knee and scuttle Fed independence as a mere "sock puppet" Chair.
