Late Friday, Donald Trump finished announcing his final choices for his cabinet. This means Trump's "Public Health Care" Team has been named.
HOLD ON TO YOUR MASKS - TRUMP'S TEAM MAY MAKE AMERICA SICK AGAIN.
There is a longtime leader of the anti-vaccine movement. A highly credentialed surgeon. A seven-term Florida congressman. A Fox News contributor with her own line of vitamins.
Most are millionaires, most do NOT believe in vaccines, and they are all Trump MAGA followers.
While Trump admitted he only has "CONCEPTS OF A HEALTH CARE PLAN," the people he is picking to manage the Nation's Massive Billion Dollar Federal Public Health System are not traditional physicians.
In fact, the man Trump has chosen to head the Department of Health and Human Services is not a doctor. He is an environmental lawyer. As with other nominations, the people who could become responsible for the public health care of millions of Americans leave much to be desired.
I will have more on this story posted on GloriaMoraga.com.

Wednesday in Washington began so well, then everything went to Hell.
The day started with Donald Trump's Triumph return to the White House. The President-elect met with Congressional Republicans.
Then news of his choice for the United States Attorney General, the Nation's Top Cop, the number one Law Enforcer, was shared.
Trump's pick was a stunner: Matt Gaetz. The MAGA Trouble-Maker was investigated by the House Ethics Committee and by the Justice Department, which he may one day head.

The incoming Trump Administration's Team is shaping up to deport millions, destroy the environment, give breaks to big business, and make Millionaires Richer.
The woman who killed her puppy and bragged about it in a book is tapped to be in charge of Homeland Security. She is also the woman who tried to hold it all together when Trump began dancing and swaying during a Town Hall.
The man Trump picked to head the Environmental Protection Agency wants to rescind all of the Biden Administration protections and let big Business drill, baby, drill, and pollute baby, pollute.
The Woman who will work for America at the United Nations doesn't like the United Nations.
And the man who hates immigrants will be responsible for making Mass Deportations Great Again!
Stephen Miller, last seen in public declaring that “America is for Americans and Americans only” at Trump’s seething Madison Square Garden rally, is Trumps choice as White House deputy chief of staff for policy.
The man who will be in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency, voted AGAINST THE CLEAN AIR ACT, MORE THAN ONCE.
And the ironies go on and on.

President-Elect Donald Trump accused Governor Gavin Newsome of Ruining California.
Newsome has called for a special session of the State Legislature to prepare to block any Trump Administration Proposals that might be harmful to California.
Governor Newsome call it "Trump-Proofing." Trump is not amused.
But California will rely on what is called the “anti-commandeering” principle: the federal government cannot force states to adopt regulations or administer federal mandates.
The Supreme Court used this principle to hold that the federal government could not force state and local governments to conduct background checks before issuing permits for firearms.
In the meantime, Federal Workers are anxious and worried about layoffs and transfers once Trump is sworn into office.

Republican Political Wonder Woman Susie Wiles, the woman behind Donald Trump's successful presidential run, will become the White House Chief of Staff.
This is the first time in history a Woman has been appointed to that position, which is considered the second most powerful job in the Executive Branch. Wiles will help Trump implement his MAGA Agenda, as Democrats, who are in the minority and weakened, will attempt to delay and stall Trump's plans.
The Democrat's goal is to do to Trump what Republicans did to Obama. Stop him from appointing Judges and block his legislation.
They need to stall for two years until the next congressional elections.
In 2026, one-third of the Senate and all members of the House are up for Re-election. If Trump and Wiles stumble, or if there is a political backlash over his so-called "fascist" agenda, Democrats can win control of Congress. In this Political Woman Podcast, I look forward. Please subscribe. And let's vote.

Happy Election Day! If you are waiting for the Presidential Election results, this podcast is a short explainer on Swing States. These are the must wins for Harris and Trump. And they sometimes surprise us.
-
Harris and Walz appeared to be working overtime on Saturday. The Vice President campaigned in three States if you consider a guest spot on Saturday Night Live campaigning.
Walz was on stage in Arizona, then campaigned door-to-door!
Oddly, Trump spent longer than expected in Virginia. A historically Blue State.
This may explain why. This is from the New York Times. Former President Donald J. Trump and his allies are rolling out a late-stage campaign strategy that borrows heavily from the subversive playbook he used to challenge his loss four years ago. This time, however, he is counting on reinforcements from outside groups built on the false notion of a stolen election. With Election Day only three days away, Mr. Trump is already claiming the Democrats are “a bunch of cheats,” as his allies in battleground states spread distorted reports of mishaps at the polls to push a narrative of widespread fraud. Mr. Trump and his most prominent supporters have pointed to partisan polling and betting markets to claim that he is heading for a “crushing victory,” as his top surrogate Elon Musk recently put it. The expectation helps set the stage for disbelief and outrage among his supporters should he lose.

One way or another, this is the Final Trump Campaign for President. If he wins, it may mark the beginning of a dark chapter. If he loses, it is unlikely he will run again in four years, potentially leading to a new phase in politics. Why? Age, for one thing. And then there are the multiple felony charges that are pending. He's been found guilty of some counts, others are in the Appeal process, or in limbo.
So, hopefully, this is it. The Last Harrah! And true to form, it is ending like it began. Attacking people of color and insulting women.
As Winston Churchill once said, "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
I'm here, as always to remind you to Vote. Have a plan, Vote.

They Hate Us: LISTEN TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
Trump has been saying it all along. Remember his first speech during his 2016 run for President when he called Mexican Immigrants "rapists" and criminals. That speech is etched in my brain.
So yes, when I see Latinos for Trump, I still don't get it.
The latest High Profile attack on people of color and ALL WOMEN, happened at The Racist-Misogynistic Madison Square Garden Trump Nazi Event on Sunday.
And now, because of some "UNKNOWN" RACIST WANNA-BE Comedian? Insulted Puerto Rico, some people have decided they are NOT going to take it anymore.
Thank God for Puerto Rican-Americans. Thank you!
And so I say, pay attention, listen to what they say. Then vote for Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN's Anderson Cooper that, "Yes, she believes Trump is a Fascist." Then, she answered questions from UNDECIDED Voters in Pennsylvania.
Trump played it safe and attended a rally thrown by loving conservatives, complete with flashing lights and fake glitter. Earlier, the crowd chanted, "Christ is King."
You can't make this stuff up. One of the craziest election seasons is heading into the home stretch.

Two Stories - Two Publications - Two Reasons to reject Donald Trump's run for another Term. He does NOT respect the men and women who fight and die for our country.
Story Number One is from the New York Times. It features an exclusive interview with John F. Kelly, the former Marine general who was former President Donald Trump's longest-serving chief of staff. Kelly is not endorsing anyone for President, but he is issuing a warning about his former boss.
The second story is from The Atlantic, and it is a lengthy article, "Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’ The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening." It is written by Jeffrey Goldberg. But that story begins with a racial slur about "Mexicans."
Even though the army private who was brutally murdered was an American of Mexican Heritage. That is where I begin my Political Woman Podcast. Note: The Trump campaign has denied that Trump used the Racial Slur in this story.
But The Atlantic and every other publication I've read is repeating the story.

The Secret Service shut down a McDonald's so Donald Trump could learn how to fry-Fries. The entire event was staged, and set up for NO apparent reason.
Then there was the 20 minute rambling story about Pro Golfer Arnold Palmer. Which made me want to scream TOO MUCH INFORMATION! TMI! TMI!
These two examples of a former president losing it in real time pale when compared to his dangerous, verbal attacks on the Vice President and other Democrats.

The Vice President Faced a Fox Anchor constantly interrupting her. Trump did not win Friends on Univision, the Spanish-language television Network's powerhouse.
Nineteen days to the November Election, the Democratic and Republican parties are working overtime to win votes in the closest presidential elections in US history, according to the polls.
Please have a plan. And Vote!

Three Weeks to the November Election:
The Bizarre Town Hall took a crooked, plunging turn into a political abyss when two people were overcome by heat at the Trump Town Hall event in Pennsylvania.
As Donald Trump, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noel (the MAGA who proudly shared how she killed her puppy because she didn't like him), and a small audience waited for help to arrive, music began to play on the sound system.
Trump then ordered his "people" to find his playlist and play his music instead.
Then the ex-president said, "No more questions, let's just listen to music."
And so they did, for 39 minutes.
Trump then swayed and tried to dance for more than half an hour.
I share this, and Trump's use of a phrase made infamous by Nazis in the 1930's and 40's "The Enemy within," in today's podcast.

It's almost Magical When you see Bill Clinton at a Rural Georgia Fish Fry Explaining High Food Prices and Big corporations gouging at A Rural Georgia Fish Fry.
Not one, but two former Presidents are now officially campaigning for the Harris Walz Camp.
We are about three weeks away from election day, and I have two things to say: 1. Don't listen to the mainstream media, which is obsessed with the Polls. 2. Have a plan and vote.

All the major news headlines are screaming about Donald Trump's "NATIVIST, Anti-Immigration" Attacks.
This time the Republican nominee for President is in Aurora, Colorado.
This is from the Guardian:
Trump intensifies nativist message with sweeping proposal to deport immigrantsDonald Trump intensified his politics of nativism and xenophobia on Friday by announcing a sweeping plan to deport Venezuelans he claimed have “infected” a once-peaceful city in Colorado.
The Republican presidential nominee held a campaign rally in Aurora on a stage adorned with posters displaying mugshots of people in prison-orange uniforms with descriptions including “illegal immigrant gang members from Venezuela”.
Trump told the crowd: “I’m announcing today that, upon taking office, we will have an ‘Operation Aurora’ at the federal level to expedite the removals of these savage gangs.” He pledged to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law that allows the president to deport any non-citizen from a country that the US is at war with.
“We will send elite squads of Ice [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], border patrol and federal law enforcement officers to hunt down, arrest and deport every last illegal alien gang member until there is not a single one left in this country,” he continued as the crowd roared approval.
If they return to the US, Trump said, they will serve an automatic 10 years in prison without parole. “I’m hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer. With your vote, we will achieve complete and total victory over these sadistic monsters. It’s going to go very quickly,” he said.

Most of this episode explains what Trump is saying and doing; but I include a lengthy sound bite from Former President Barack Obama who is campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris.

In late 2023 and early 2024, a bipartisan group of senators attempted to pass a bill to curb the number of illegal crossings on the southern border.
One of the authors of the "Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act," Sen. James Lankford, a Republican from Oklahoma, called it "the most conservative border security bill in four decades."
But Donald Trump, Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Speaker Mike Johnson and other MAGA Republicans didn't want Democrats to be able to "Run On" the "Border Bill.
"As the author of the bill, I didn't write it to give Democrats something to run on. I wanted to pass it and secure the border," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) said in response to Perry's comments. "But at least Republicans are saying the truth out loud. They knew the bill would secure the border — so they killed it to help them politically.
And so they did.
And now Donald Trump uses the Border Crisis to attack his Presidential Rival Kamala Harris every chance he gets.
And Harris responds that if she if elected she will sign it.

Jack Smith's Immunity Argument - Trump was Acting as a Candidate NOT President
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith shared the most comprehensive, step-by-step look at the case against Donald Trump's for allegedly trying to stop the certification of the 2020 election results.
The Document, "A Motion for Immunity Determination" is Smith's response to the Supreme Court's decision that a President has limited immunity for Official actions (or crimes) committed as Commander-in-Chief.
In this podcast I share some of Smith's arguments.

In Politics and in life, the Rules are different for different people. Take Age. Old Age. We are a nation obsessed with Youth. When President Joe Biden was seeking reelection the media put the spotlight on his every stumble, every slip of the tongue, every mistake.
They blamed his Age. What about Trump?
It didn't matter that Trump is not that much younger than Biden and he is certainly not a great political orator.
The Rules are different for Trump.
He spews hate speech and lies. He was impeached twice, charged with multiple felonies, and a jury convicted him of 34 Felonies for Business Fraud, in connection to Hush Money payments to a Porn Star.
And still the polls show Harris and Trump are locked in a statistical dead heat. MAGA Republicans love Trump. The media loves Trump.
The Rules are different for Trump.
Although it is NOT an October Surprise, I was a bit shocked with I logged into the New York Times on Sunday morning to read the article I quote from in this Podcast.
