The "Time Magazine" article "How Far Trump Would Go," by Eric Cortellessa, begins like this: "Donald Trump thinks he's identified a critical mistake of his first term: He was too nice." 

The article is brilliantly written, and I would love it if it were a futuristic science fiction short story about a society gone miserably wrong. 

But sadly, we are living this real-life Trump Nightmare. Trump's Evil Plans to end the United States Democracy-Driven Republic and us are explained and outlined in multiple articles and posts.

The 'wanna-be Dictator' is not acting alone, but is being abetted by a network of hundreds of insiders, strategically positioned in every branch of government. This is a topic that warrants its own in-depth discussion in a future Podcast.

WHY DO THEY HATE WOMEN? Trump, MAGA's and Mother's Day

The Stormy Daniels Cross-Examination and the E. Jean Carroll case continue to haunt me on this Mother's Day, 2024. 

Let's delve into a topic that has sparked much debate and curiosity—the significant number of women in America who voted for Donald Trump in the last Presidential Election. This trend is likely to continue in the upcoming election, but the question that lingers is: why?

WHY? 

The evidence is clear: Donald Trump is a woman-hater.

Look at the facts. But why, oh, why do his followers hate us as well, especially when many of his followers are our Sisters?

I lay out some of those Women-Hating Facts in this episode. Please Subscribe.

Music: 

Clip from Cher's TV show, where the Goddess sings I am A W-O-M-A-N with Supreme Goddess Raquel Welsh.

One short audio clip of Helen Reddy singing "I am Woman, Hear me Roar." 

Listening to a wide range of Women Have Power songs to produce this podcast only made me all the sadder when I saw Women's Rights being trampled in Washington, at the Supreme Court, and at the Capitol. And across the country in State Legislatures.

Ex-president Trump will be back in a New York Courtroom tomorrow, Thursday, May 9 to once again face Stormy Daniels.

The former president is accused of falsifying business records to cover a $130,000 payment to Ms. Daniels just before the 2016 election.

Trump, who is 77, has denied the charges and says he did not have sex with Ms. Daniels. But he did meet her at a 2006 Lake Tahoe Golf Tournament.  

If convicted, he could face prison time or probation.

The Supreme Court appeared sharply divided on whether Idaho’s near-total abortion ban overrides a federal law that protects patients who need emergency care.

This case could determine access to abortions in emergency rooms across the country.

In a lively argument, the justices' questions suggested a divide along ideological lines and a possible split by gender on the court. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative, appeared skeptical that Idaho’s law, which bars doctors from providing abortions unless a woman’s life is in danger or specific nonviable pregnancies, superseded the federal law.

The Supreme Court heard arguments in April, and a decision is expected sometime before July 1, 2024.

So far in the Trump New York Business - Election Fraud Hush Money Trial, Hope Hix has been the BEST LOOKING witness.

She was called to testify by the Prosecution to explain what happened INSIDE the Trump Presidential Campaign after the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape was made public.

Why is her information important? One word: "Motive."

Hicks, a one-time Model, began working for the Trumps in 2014. She worked for the Trump Organization under Ivanka Trump, the former president's daughter, and Trump himself.

Hicks joined Trump's first presidential campaign in 2015 as press secretary. After Trump was elected, she joined the administration as director of strategic communications. 

The United States Constitution includes no immunity provision for presidents. It expressly recognizes that a president is subject to criminal prosecution. PERIOD!

The United States Supreme Court heard arguments in ex-President Donald Trump's attempt to get Blanket Immunity for all alleged and potential Crimes.

Here is what his lawyer told the Supremes Trump should be immune from prosecution for:

1. selling nuclear secrets
2. employing the U.S. military to assassinate a political rival
3. launching a coup

The shocking part of this is that the CONSERVATIVES on the Court, seem to agree with Trump. 

And those MAGA Justices are making a Mockery of the rule of law and tramping on our Constitution.

Opening Arguments in Donald Trump's Criminal Business Fraud Case turned a bright spotlight on what Prosecutors call a "Criminal Conspiracy" involving the former President, his attorney, Michael Cohen, and David Pecker, the well-known ex-publisher of the tabloid magazine, "The National Enquirer."

Pecker, a former friend of the defendant, Donald Trump, was the first witness in the historic trial. He is expected to be on the stand for at least a few days. 

In a rare Saturday Session, the United States House of Representatives approved a $ 95 Billion Foreign Aid Bill that the Senate will vote on Tuesday.

The legislation provides military assistance for US allies around the world, including Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine. 

There is one man responsible for the votes that happened on Saturday, Speaker Mike Johnson. A conservative, hard-line MAGA Republican who vowed never to bring Aid to Ukraine to the floor for a vote without legislation to address the US Border Mess. 

What's the story behind Mike Johnson's transformation? Where is the MAGA Mike we knew? In this episode of Political Woman, we delve into these questions, as it's evident that Speaker Johnson has undergone a significant change. 

“History judges us for what we do,” he told reporters at the Capitol last week. “This is a critical time right now. I could make a selfish decision and do something different. But I’m doing here what I believe to be the right thing. I think providing lethal aid to Ukraine right now is critically important.”
