J.M....I absolutely love your comment...or...actually...I like the second comment you made...even better. It tells me that you are using the Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter...EXACTLY how I hope people will use it:
To sharpen your senses and awareness...and prime yourself to begin seeing the world in a whole new way...and detect things you used to never see.
Oh that is exactly how these things start.
The “Mini-Scandal That Justifies His Removal” method doesn’t begin with a classified leak...or a rogue staffer...or a whistleblower stepping up to a podium.
It starts with a nudge.
A breadcrumb.
A reminder.
A “hey… remember this little thing?”
A reintroduced mistake from the past...dropped into the bloodstream at the moment when the target...is already wobbling.
And today?
That Signal message with the Atlantic editor’s name attached?
That was the nudge.
That was the breadcrumb.
That was someone inside the system saying:
“It’s time.”
They’re not trying to destroy him in one blow.
They’re trying to weaken him...just enough...that the next misstep becomes the justification.
And the reason this matters?
Because reviving Hegseth’s first mistake...right now...is not coincidence. It is timed... political engineering.
Someone wanted this floating again...in the exact window...when his standing is collapsing from the illegal order fiasco.
This is how you soften a fall.
This is how you prep the narrative.
This is how you create the conditions for a “regrettable but necessary” removal.
15% just spiked to 30%.
And if the next leak hits...within 72 hours, it jumps again.
We’re watching the machinery spool up...in REAL time.
Jack, thank you for showing me (and all of us) such a holistic way of understanding the public sphere. For me, you illuminate "the Way" of professional political communicators, who use their skills to put the pieces of a story together before it is publicly clear...and defines the future parameters of the story.
It's a little like watching the shroud while it's still being measured!
Actually not many of your articles make me laugh… at least not lately but I was laughing from Hegseth thought Trump would protect him… Hahahaha! Bless his heart was a great there. Even a drunken idiot should know by now that Trump protects himself and… NO ONE else. I giggled right in through to what tomorrow’s paid piece will show us. I can’t wait.
Hegseth walking around...thinking Trump would shield him...is the funniest part of this entire mess.
"Bless his heart" is doing heavy lifting here...because the man genuinely believed proximity equals protection.
Which is wild...because by now...even a half-sloshed barfly...in a broken recliner knows the First Commandment of Trumpworld:
“Trump protects Trump. Everyone else is expendable.”
Hegseth thought he was the exception.
Turns out he’s just the latest example.
And trust me...what tomorrow’s paid piece reveals? Let’s just say your giggle is going to turn into a full-body “holy shit” when you see how fast Trumpworld started distancing themselves...the minute the blowback hit.
Oh wow.. thank you! I hate buying from Amazon but this will be the exception. Fingers flying to the app.. Honestly didn’t expect much from that little request but this is certainly worth a try. Neither my PCP or my ENT have been much help. THIS would be worth the subscription cost and then some. I don’t need a cure. I just need them to STOP happening. Bless your heart…lol.. In a good way!
Thank you!

PS. Just remembered I already take Magnesium Citrate? So? Reduce that or replace with this or what? I don’t want to OD on magnesium.
I will. Yeah, I have Meniere’s Disease and it’s a tough illness to live with. Everyone thinks it’s just about the vertigo, which is horrible enough, but there’s so much more to it. Thank you!
Jack - you did the visualization thing again! Last week it was “the bull not realizing the slaughterhouse gate closed behind it “ - now we have “drunk bull in a china shop”. How many people do you have writing for you to get this much insightful content every single day? You never just post some slop for the sake of posting something - it is ALWAYS insightful and frankly makes me smarter and gives me a much better perspective watching the news with my wife who doesn’t see the angles you show us. As always, looking forward to the next one….
Jack, you bring smiles to my face when reading your thoughts. Love it. 👍😊
Joe...and THAT...just brought a smile to my face!
Have a great night.

You are so interesting.
Thanks. I read Jack, then scanned headlines -- and there it was...prediction came true fast!
Oh goody goody. Thank you! Thank you!
My pleasure!

This gave me a reason to smile. Thanks for the middle week pick me up. Have a goodnight 😴
Jo...I love hearing this. SMILES...especially now...are rock stars!
-Jack
3-14 days. A few great laughs too! Thank you Jack!
You're welcome, Alexa...lol. Yeah...a little something to chuckle at never hurts;)
-Jack
A excellent report! Hegseth is scrambling faster...and his stories are changing as fast!
Lillian...thank you. He certainly is...and YES...they are.

PS. I read this through a 2 day old migraine and still enjoyed it. Any remedies for vestibular migraines? Ugh!
#HOLDFAST
I do, Susan. My wife had them BAD.
Magnesium Glycinate...300 -400mg a day is what she takes.
She has found this to be the single most effective supplement...for vestibular migraine prevention.
It calms overactive neural firing...and stabilizes the vestibular pathways
It is NOT a cure. She takes it daily...as a preventive measure...and prevent...like a CHAMP...it does.

Check with your physician to be sure you don’t throw your potassium out of balance.
Vestibular issues are a certified bitch. Hope you get better.
I will. Yeah, I have Meniere’s Disease and it’s a tough illness to live with. Everyone thinks it’s just about the vertigo, which is horrible enough, but there’s so much more to it. Thank you!
Most welcome. Meniere’s is not funny. You’re a beast, girl!
