Gloria Moraga - Political Woman

“Presidents are not kings,” Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, “They do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control.” 

Those were the words that denied President Donald Trump's close advisors immunity from Congressional subpoenas. 

It is 2022, and the Senate Judiciary Committee considers President Joe Biden's historic nomination to the United States Supreme Court.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson the first Black woman nominated to the high court.

Russia attacked Ukraine just three weeks ago. The President of Ukraine has been under tremendous pressure as he asks the world for help to stop Russia from bombing his country and killing his people, including civilians, women, and children. 

On Tuesday, March 16, Volodymyr Zelensky again asked the United States to provide financial and military assistance. 

His speech to the U.S. Congress was clear and convincing. 

Here is what makes a great speech.

1. Clearly define your message
2. Speak directly to your audience
3. Connect with your audience
4. Give examples that drive home your message
5. Don’t lecture. Tell a story – if possible, use video to tell that story

On Monday, March 7, the United States Congress will consider House Resolution 6470 - Defending Ukraine Sovereignty Act. There are critics of the measure, which is authored and supported by Democrats. Republican lawmakers have their legislation. And there is a movement to compromise to get warplanes, missiles, and drones to Ukraine. 

Critics warn that the Democrat Bill goes too far. 

The bill (1) authorizes the Department of Defense to use various authorities to provide and expedite the delivery of defense articles to support Ukraine's armed forces, (2) allows the President to exercise drawdown authority to provide defense articles to Ukraine, and (3) authorizes the Department of State to provide International Military Education and Training assistance to Ukraine."

Russia is bombing Ukraine right now. What will happen next, and as Americans and citizens of the world, why should we care. Here are five of my reasons.

1. Putin is a Fascist and a Bully. Never Ignore a Bully.

2. Democracy is worth Caring about and fighting for.

3. Geography. Read a Map. China is now supporting the Russian Dictator's invasion of Ukraine. Enough Said! 

4. What next? Invade Poland?? More involvement in US elections? 

5. Peace in Europe is vital. For Europe, the US, and our Planet!

I found "Deep River on the Juke Box on the Library of Congress website. Here is the link: https://www.loc.gov/item/jukebox-68748/? An Unknown Artist wrote the song. It is now officially in the Public Domain. But Marian Anderson's copy is protected by copyright, so I only use about:10 seconds. I wanted to share her beauty and her power.

Hi Listeners. As you know, I'm fond of producing content in Batches. I am currently working on a series of podcast episodes geared toward this political election year. I'm calling this series Political Woman. Because that is what I am. 

Democracy in the United States is at a crossroads, and many of us are not going to sit around and let a vocal minority destroy all the good things our country stands for. 

Nothing is more important than communication. It's important to talk to each other. And as uncomfortable as it may be, we must all sanely and politely discuss politics and the process.

"A Sacred Duty" - A Look at A Whistleblower's Nightmare gives us a personal account of the VA Hospital Patient Care Scandal. This podcast episode is about a courageous woman who did what was right and was tormented for it. 

This is a scandal that began before the year 2014.

Veterans began dying because VA Hospital Officials were delaying care and lying about it.

We know about this because of a couple of Whistleblowers. These VA workers would not stop until the public and lawmakers knew what was happening.

Behind the scenes, one of these whistle-blowers was being bullied horribly by administrators.

My guest is Paula Pedene, the VA Public Relations professional working at the Phoenix, Arizona Veteran’s Administration’s Hospital during the scandal that resulted in the deaths of Veterans.

I worked with Paula in Washington D.C. She is a friend—an award-winning PR Professional, and now an author. Her book is “A Sacred Duty, how a Whistleblower took on the VA and Won.” by Paula Pedene.

Happy New Year - How To Successfully Begin 2022

1. Every day Talk to Someone You Love. Communicate.
2. Focus on Positive Thinking.
3. Count your blessings every day. 
4. If you have trouble remembering to do numbers one, two, and three, Write a List.

None of this is as easy as it sounds. But number four will help you stay on track. 

And it would help if you began by cutting back on the number of hours you are watching TikTok videos. Not addicted to TikTok yet? Don't start watching. But this is another podcast episode. Stay Tuned.
