Canada and its Prime Minister have just told the American people what our own incoming president won’t: A Trade war with Canada will murder the American economy, as Canada is our #1 trading partner and supplier of oil and electricity and strategic minerals and natural resources. Trump’s response?: To call Canada our “51st State” and Trudeau its “Governor” in a late-night infantile rant. Michael Popok explains why Canada has the upper hand and how American prices will skyrocket if we continue to piss off Canada and Mexico.

President Biden just stuck it to MAGA and showed mercy and kindness to 1500 Americans at the same time, by issuing a record-setting 1500 clemency petitions and 39 pardons in a single day. Popok explains the difference, and why this may indicate that President Biden is prepared to give blanket pardons to those that protected democracy against Trump in 2020 and need protection from retribution now.

NY Attorney General Leticia James isn’t afraid of Trump and his threats to jail her; she just fired back at Trump’s demand —comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington — to throw the $500 million judgment in the trash can. Michael Popok who practices in NY describes the action.
