REVIEW and ANNOUNCEMENTS
As we finally turn the corner into the last week of the most decisive election in modern American democracy, we are faced with two visions for our children’s future: one bleak, racist, anti-immigrant and hate-filled; the other filled with possibilities, economic policies to support the middle-class, and opportunities for diverse groups of people.
Song of the Week
Project 2025 is coming to “25” the Orange Clown of Mar-A-Lago. “Watch your back Old Donny, Poor Donny…” Peppy funk beat, a tongue-in-cheek primer of Project 2025’s real agenda for T-Rump. Is it only DonOLD who doesn’t realize he’s just a patsy for Project 2025 to get the real president they want? Vance will do to T-Rump, what T-Rump did to Pence.

Ending Christian Nationalism
Voting out the Orange Clown of Mar-A-Lago not only means an absolute route at the polls of the obscene man himself, but also the cronies that support him. Among them are billionaires that need to be taxed, GOP lackeys that have been spineless during this whole takeover, and churches that need to be taxed because they are political patsies of the far right. Christian Nationalism has fueled the T-Rump surge and continues to do so. Somehow, their leaders have convinced them that only studying the most racist and angry parts of the Old Testament as well as Paul’s writings allows them to silence the messages of unconditional love found in the Gospel. These pastors are political players that hide in the shade of tax breaks and accumulate vast amounts of wealth while endangering democracy in favor of views that make them no less than an American Taliban.

Off-color jokes, vitriol take over Trump Madison Square Garden rally
DonOld’s image of America was on full display last night at Madison Square Garden as he held his closing message rally to set off the last week of legitimate campaigning. It included blatant racism, and multiple references to America (and Puerto Rico) as garbage cans. This is funny?!! The only way to stop the Orange Clown of Mar-A-Lago’s vision of America from becoming a manifested reality is to beat him at the ballots and in the following weeks in expensive court case after court case.

For Trump, November 5 Is When the Election Starts
For those, like me, watching and concerned with the direction of the polls, please keep in mind our greatest defense against a Putin/GOP/T-Rump dictatorship is to vote. Also, to understand, the Orange Clown of Mar-A-Lago’s redundant playbook. He will declare victory early, so that he can claim everything thereafter is illegitimate. It’s a tired page from his past, but it has worked for him and he will use it again. His supporters and attorneys are already using money amassed from traitorous tech giants like Musk and Bezos, to file endless lawsuits in multiple states to hinder election results. Sadly, this may be the pattern we see ad infinitum until the old Orange rap(c)ist finally dies and Project 2025 is stuck with its unelectable true candidate, JD Vance (or whatever name he will call himself by then).

Tucker Carlson’s ‘daddy’ comments speak volumes about the far right
If you want to be grossed out by a misogynist’s ranting, read the text of Carlson’s commentary about how DonOLD is going to spank America because she is a “Very bad girl.” This diatribe is exemplary of the type of paternalistic and perverted thinking the far right “American Taliban” is pushing these days.

'Imminent catastrophic public danger': Hundreds of doctors sound new alarm about Trump
An urgent warning by a panel of doctors tells us that the Orange Clown of Mar-A-Lago is rapidly losing his mental capacities. Anyone who watches his interviews and rants will see that he cannot stay linear in conversations anymore, instead he is continually moving tangentially from topic to topic in a pattern he calls “the weave.” He says his followers (good people) understand it and Trump/GOP Networks like Fox and X do everything they can to pretend they understand him. Of course, those around him know he is losing his mental capacities, but they can’t run someone else this late in the election. What is beginning to clarify itself is a plan to run DonOLD in this election, hopefully gain a win, and then use the 25th Amendment to replace him with the true favorite of Putin, Musk, Thiel, and the other Project 2025 disciples; VP candidate, J.D. Vance.

The future if Trump wins
Do not let anything keep you from voting whether you send in your ballot, vote early, or show up in person on November 5. Don’t let the polls, the pundits, the politicians, or even a devious republican poll worker stop you from making your voice count this year. No one is exaggerating when they say, “This is the most important election of our fledgling democracy.” Vote, Vote, VOTE!!! If you need additional incentive, contrast the two visions for America’s future that the candidates (and their parties) put forward. Only one candidate (party) is actually putting offering a vision that is forward-facing. The other wants to take us back. Back to a time when minorities couldn’t vote, when abortions were done in a back room with a coat hanger, when LGBTQ+ people were afraid of openly showing their love, and when immigrants made this country great with their hard work ethic and desire to see a better life for their children. Only one candidate wants a future that capitalizes on America’s greatness; our diversity, our commitment to the Constitution and democracy, to religious freedom and equality. To a secure middle-class and an economy based upon fairness; fairness in taxes, fairness in representation. The choice is clear. A staggering fall backwards or a joyful leap forward; vote, Vote, VOTE!!!

23 Nobel Prize-winning economists call Harris’ economic plan ‘vastly superior’ to Trump’s
The point where we can look for a rational reason that anyone would vote for the Orange Clown of Mar-A-Lago has long gone. With Trump himself telling us that he would be a dictator, that he wants the type of generals that supported Hitler, and that he will not accept the results of this election (again) if he does not win. With his former aides refusing to vote for him and rational Republicans like Liz Cheney coming out against him. The only reason to vote for this man who is fixated on genitalia (male and female) is because you support his brand of racism and misogyny. A quick read of this article would tell any rational person voting for the long-term stability of the country and the world would run—not walk—to vote for Harris/Walz. Trump’s plan and his healthcare “concept of a plan” would bankrupt social security, raise taxes for middle-income Americans, and send the country spiraling into a recession, perhaps even a depression. If you are continuing to support this man, you have somehow justified in your heart that his morals are worth guiding this country and making decisions for your grandchildren and their children on down the line.
