Gloria Moraga - Political Woman

Ironically, the Iowa Caucuses are falling on the Day we all need to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., A man who fought and died for racial equality and voting rights for all.  

All the media attention on Iowa is focused on Republicans. White Republicans. Donald Trump fans. 

President Biden changed how the Democratic Party holds its Primary and the Iowa Caucus. 

Why? He thought it would be better for the Country to focus on states representing a diverse group of Americans instead of predominately White Iowa. 

Biden is campaigning in South Carolina. Black voters in South Carolina helped him win the Presidency in 2020. 

Like it or not, Iowa is a predominately white, Christian, fundamentalist State. 

Iowa is 84.5 percent White. Please take a look at the link below.

THE TRUMP TRIALS 2024 - Donald Trump is gearing up for a year of multi-tasking in 2024. He is running for President, and he is running away from 91 Felony Counts in various State and Federal Courts. 

In addition to the Criminal Charges, Trump is fighting to keep control of his business empire in the State of New York, and trying to defend himself in the E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case - Part Two. 

There are some key dates in this month alone, including a DC Appeals Court hearing on his Election Interference Case, where he claims he has immunity and has asked that the charges be dismissed. 

And hanging over all this is whether the United States Supreme Court is going to step in and rule on the 14th Amendment, Section Three. The States of Colorado and Maine want Trump's name off their Primary Ballots. 

Whew! And this is just a short overview. I'll have more in the days to come. And I'm posting everything on gloriamoraga.com.

Repeating and Openly Embracing Nazi Rhetoric - Trump Marches into 2024 as millions of his followers applaud him. And Republicans remain Silent! 

Former President Donald Trump repeated his Immigrants are "Poisoning our Blood" mantra as he tries to scare voters into supporting him. The phrase is directly from Hitler's autobiography.

And it worked for that short, mustachioed, psychotic dictator in Germany in the 1930s.

The Headlines are everywhere:

The Washington Post: "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending."

The Nation: "This is How Trump Becomes a Dictator."

The Guardian: "The US could be under a rightwing dictator."

Vanity Fair: "Trump Makes it Clear He'd be an Out and Out Dictator if Reelected in 2024."

The Atlantic, The New York Times, and, of course, TV News have all written and produced stories that lay out how Trump's people plan to Hijack our Republic and chang our form of Government from Democratic to Dictatorship.

Today, some of Trump's allies pushed back on social media. Senator JD Vance wrote, "Everyone needs to take a chill pill."

Those seven words aren't comforting when all you have to do is log on to the PROJECT 2025 website.

You can find a visible step-by-step plan to reshape the executive branch of the US Federal Government if Republicans/Trump wins the Presidential Election.

The plan includes consolidating the power now shared by three branches of Government into a stronger Executive Branch.

Hmmm? Rewriting the Constitution to destroy "Separation of Powers?" It sounds very "Dictator-leaning" to me.

For this Political Woman Podcast Episode, I share parts of the 6,000-word plus Opinion Essay by Robert Kagan. "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending."

COLORADO, THE CONSTITUTION, AND TRUMP ON THE BALLOT OR NOT? 

The answer to the question is unknown at this moment in time. We know that a Colorado Judge ruled that Trump engaged in an Insurrection. That same judge ruled that he can remain on the ballot. But the case is now going to the Colorado Supreme Court on Appeal. 

That hearing will take place on December 6. Whatever is decided there, the final decision will rest with the U.S. Supreme Court. 

This case is going all the way. This podcast gives you some background and the current legal timeline.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE GAZA STRIP.

IF YOU, LIKE MILLIONS OF US, ARE WONDERING WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS, I DISCOVERED A FEW ANSWERS. 

I FOUND A GREAT ARTICLE IN THE WASHINGTON POST. "THE GAZA STRIP AND ITS HISTORY, EXPLAINED," BY TIMOTHY BELLA. 

IN THIS EPISODE OF POLITICAL WOMAN, I READ FROM THAT ARTICLE. 

WHEN THE AUTHOR, BELLA, WRITES ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE GAZA STRIP, HE IS FOCUSING ON RECENT HISTORY. IT DOESN'T EXPLAIN AWAY ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAVE. IT HAS CREATED MORE OF THEM.

WHY INNOCENT WOMEN, CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, AND EVERYBODY ELSE HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE OF A CAREFULLY PLANNED TERRORIST ATTACK? AND WHY HAS THE WORLD ALLOWED ISRAEL TO PUT SANCTIONS ON THE TWO MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN GAZA, DRINKING DIRTY WATER AND STARVING? 

HALF THE POPULATION OF GAZA ARE CHILDREN. THAT IS A FACT THAT HAUNTS ME. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IN THE DARK, NO ELECTRICITY, NO HEAT, NO WATER. 

TO READ THE ARTICLE, YOU DO NOT NEED A Washington Post Subscription. HERE IS THE LINK:

ISRAEL AND GAZA AT WAR! WHERE IS CONGRESS? 

IT IS EARLY TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10; THE ISRAEL MILITARY SAYS IT HAS KILLED 1,500 PALESTINIAN FIGHTERS. THE DEATH TOLL IN ISRAEL HAS REACHED 900, WITH 150 HELD HOSTAGE IN GAZA.

THIS DEATH TOLL CHANGES FROM HOUR TO HOUR. IT IS SURE TO CHANGE BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS.

THE WORLD WAS SHOCKED EARLY SATURDAY MORNING WHEN NEWS SPREAD THAT HAMAS MILITANTS FROM GAZA HAD INVADED ISRAEL BY LAND, SEA AND AIR.  

PRESIDENT BIDEN PLEDGED U.S. SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL. HOWEVER, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DID NOT RUSH TO THE HOUSE OR SENATE FLOORS TO SHOW SUPPORT.  I HAVE MORE IN THIS EPISODE OF POLITICAL WOMAN.

The photo you see is from Amir Cohen/Reuters. Here is the caption that was with the picture: "Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepting rockets launched from the Gaza Strip, as seen from Ashkelon, Israel."
