Now in HuffPo.

Remember this? I was a kid, but I sure do: That was October 20, 1973. By November 17, Nixon was declaring that he was “not a crook,” when he was. By July 24, 1974, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Nixon must turn over all of the While House

Doing the right things – daycare, defence, etc.  Not doing the the wrong things – re-opening the Constitution, etc.  Staying out of the papers Cooling it with the selfie stuff  Underselling, overperforming Conspicuously opposing Trump’s manifest destiny No scandals of significance  No big fights with the provinces  Significant spending on

…he was indicted for the comparatively benign charge of tax evasion. Something for the Unpresident to contemplate, today, as this major legal development makes itself known. Attorneys general for the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland sued President Trump on Monday, alleging that he has violated anti-corruption clauses

James Comey’s big day: by now, the testimony of former FBI director has been much discussed, debated and dissected. Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, seen by many millions, is well-known. His Thursday morning appearance was the political TV event of 2017 – so far. Among the lowlights: the

Trump just fell into 3 big traps: 1. He accused Comey of perjury. 2. He said he'd testify under oath. 3. He said he'd meet special counsel. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) June 9, 2017

The big day is just a few days away.  You’d never know that, however. As noted below, I remember the centennial – I was a kid and living in the United States, for Chrissakes, and I knew all about Expo and Trudeau and everything else that was going on.  It

Amazing. Cotton: Do you think Donald Trump colluded with Russia? COMEY: That's a question I don't think I should answer in an opening setting. pic.twitter.com/fbJyxt7KYw — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) June 8, 2017

Among the [James Comey testimony] lowlights: the Trump administration “lied” about Comey, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Trump “defamed” Comey when he claimed that the FBI had lost confidence in their former director. There was a “massive” effort by Russia to intervene in the 2016 U.S. election and elect

He loses before our nation’s highest court. That’s justice. I wonder: are the Supremes now anti-Semitic, too, “rebels”? The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed a request to hear an appeal of a lower-court libel ruling against right-wing commentator and self-described provocateur Ezra Levant. The plaintiff in the case was Khurrum

HOLY SHIT. Q: Do you think Trump colluded with Russia? Comey: "I can't answer in open session." #ComeyHearings — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) June 8, 2017

Vote now, vote often! The Ontario election is one year away. Who is going to win? — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) June 7, 2017

Wow.  Here’s Comey’s prepared statement.  It’s going to be quite a morning, tomorrow. This is obstruction of justice, by any reasonable standard.  The only reason why Comey does not come out clearly and say that, I suspect, is because he knows he will be asked this tomorrow: “Well, if you

The video showing the assault on Kevin here. Update from Kevin here: So I just wanted to provide an update on the assault case I’m involved in. I just got off the phone with 52 Division and can confirm pending charges against two individuals: member of the Jewish Defence League
