Freedom of the Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners isn’t the end of suffering; it’s the beginning of learning how to live again. I know, because I once walked that road. My personal story:

When Trump was on the campaign trail and his goons paraded around with signs screaming “Mass Deportation Now,” did you think it was bluster? Wrong. None of this was hype. It was a warning; one too many Americans ignored. And now, it’s here. therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/black-hawk...

The key to resolution is outrage. Ordinary voters, furious at being pawns in this political hostage crisis, will demand relief from their representatives. They will force movement where Washington’s power players refuse to.

James Comey thinks he’s in control. He’s not.
If my own experience has taught me anything, it’s this: the old adage is true; you can indict a ham sandwich. And today, James Comey is the ham sandwich. therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/comey-is-t...

Comey thought he was untouchable, a boy scout above politics. Now he’s the ham sandwich, served cold by Trump’s relentless appetite, in a courtroom where loyalty rules and mercy dies.

Another one of my predictions just hit the bullseye. James Comey; the man I’ve long said would find himself in the crosshairs, is now staring down the barrel of a potential indictment. Check out my current post “Justice Collapses Under Trumps Shadow.” therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/justice-co...

"Justice Collapses Under Trump’s Shadow"

Comey’s fall isn’t about justice. It’s about Trump turning law into a weapon, a spectacle designed to punish enemies and terrify anyone daring to oppose him.
