Usually, when I think of a leak, it's a negative thing- leaky faucets, leaky valves, leaky pipes, leaky roofs. BUT THANK GOD there are LEAKS OF TRUTH in this turbulent, upside-down, uncertain time, when our Manchurian president LIES for a living, trying to create a sense of false security while promoting himself shamelessly. When the tRump Administration claims that they are going to ferret out leaks, we KNOW that we are onto the TRUTH. Michael, keep LEAKING! Principled journalists and other veritable sources, keep leaking! The only way to drain the REAL swamp, this current Administration, is to KEEP LEAKING!

Trump uses Congress for theatrical purposes. Once he gets what he wants out of them they will all be irrelevant.

They’re irrelevant right now. We can change that next year, if we have the fortitude to do it…

They stopped being relavent during the Biden campaign when they started obeying Donald Trump instead of Biden. Appalling. The Republicans who did that to him should be fired and never be allowed to run again.

I hope the whistleblowers come out in masses about what our government is doing. They can't all be happy with what is happening to our country and with this governing body. I am sure a lot of them are scared, scared for what could happen to them, their families, will they be believed, is it worth it. Hell, yes, it's worth it. Save your country. Please read about the voting machines. If you type in "She won. They didn't just change the machines. They rewired the election" and it will come up. It's a very interesting article. If we have an election again, the ballots need to be hand counted. Please call your congress people about the BBB daily. They are going to do a billion dollars for ICE and hire 18,000 more people. These are people that are in it for the satisfaction of demeaning and hurting others. They are becoming more criminal every day. They are not just going after the migrants, the very people who built our country, but everyday citizens of the US. None of us are safe. We need to stop this. We need to get these people out of government and get our country back. I love our country, not for what it has become, but for what it was.

There will still be leaks. Congress is the mouthpiece and right hand of Trump at the moment…we will have to rely on patriots within the system to alert the nation when thuggery and skullduggery are afoot in the administration.

Hi Mr. C., TGIF. I hope all is well during your travels. Perhaps it will help the wife change her mind. New York needs real leadership. As your Substack today explains, Congress is going down the toilet. Meanwhile, once again donkeys show just how much of an ass they have become. If they think the new socialist guy has a chance on the national stage, then I'd like to have some of what they're taking to modify their moods, because WOW, it must be strong.

In the details of how "Truth always finds a leak," is why the "WORLD" in just a matter of weeks has circumvented the United States altogether, shifting the hub of North America to Canada. It's done, notice no big deal announcements lately. On November 5th. 2024. The globe realized that America is no longer the beacon of enlightenment, liberty, and justice for all, no longer speculating in the United States as a safe place to do business. Where foreigners are no longer welcome, and the entity that speaks for the people has relinquished its ability to govern. I don't see a happy ending. People are fatigued, and the cult goes on (@)

As usual, Michael has his finger on the pulse of what's going on here. We have to be vigilant. Don’t let your mind go numb, your voice go silent, and your heart go cold. Don’t forget what it means to be American, and to be human. Trump wants you to. don’t let him.

Absolutely ... correct based on your actual experience and correct based on the mental pathologies of this crazy, arrogant, ignorant man. Thanks for the essay.

Michael, I agree with you 100% most of the time. But you are preaching to the converted. How can your daily messages get to the “other side”?

Good morning Michael! Congress and whistleblowers should know that the people of this country, not all of them, but WE THE PEOPLE that are out there protesting, speaking out, expressing outrage at the treatment of what they consider illegals, the lies, we will be there to support them. The MAGA people are loud, heartless, full of hatred, racists. That is not the majority of this country! We will not be fooled, we will not be silenced! Thank you for always reminding us of what is at stake! Our country, our Democracy, our constitution and our freedom.
