Make It Happen!

It's almost over.

I struggled with this. I was really on the fence with it. I do take former president Donald J. Trump as a serious threat to democracy. But to see the Democratic Party align itself with warmongering rhetoric and the Israeli regime almost had me vote third party.

Then came Jill Stein. The Green Party has openly admitted they are trying to make Trump win. They are also clueless on how government works.

Elected Stein will not stop Israel. Matter of fact, what drove my vote was allegations that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is colluding with Trump to depress the Democratic voter turnout. That would be election interference.

Netanyahu wants a stooge in the White House to do its bidding. Biden is leaving and he fears Harris will get tough on him. Trump praised Netanyahu in the past and complained about how the evil man couldn't get the job done.

Trump spent yesterday doing the same old stuff. He was supposed to do a closing argument but ended up talking about Arnold Palmer and his manhood.

He also called his opponent a "shit vice president" and she should be fired.

Elon Musk did something illegal. He said that anyone who register to vote or supports his Trump backed SuperPac will be gifted $1 million. That would be a FEC complaint.

Trump pivots and seems to be lost in the fog. All the far right attacks on President Joe Biden and his age has backfired. 

Now folks, do you want to see another 78 year old man be elected as president again?

Kamala Devi Harris celebrates her 60th birthday today. In the final weeks of her bid for president, the vice president and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are going to make their final push.

Over 20 million Americans voted.

I voted in Ohio. 

I voted for Harris and Walz. I voted for Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), yes on Issue 1 and local Democrats. In the U.S. House race, I held my nose and voted for longtime lawmaker, the porker, Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) over his opponent Amy Cox.

After this election, I will continue to vote but officially withdraw my support of the Democratic Party. Their support for Israel has turned me off.

Given that the choices are "more of the same" or "more chaos," I went with "more of the same."

Over the weekend, Harris stumped in Michigan and Georgia with pop stars Lizzo and Usher. Former president Barack Obama was campaigning in Nevada, Arizona and Pennsylvania for Harris. Former president Bill Clinton was campaigning in Georgia, North Carolina and Nevada.

Harris is working with former Republicans like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to court voters who backed Nikki Haley in the primaries.

The Biden family wished Harris a happy birthday.

Trump won the support of WWE legends Kane (Glenn Jacobs) and the Undertaker (Mark Calaway). He also won support from former NFL stars Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace and Le'Veon Bell.

Bell generated controversy when he wore a hoodie saying Vote Trump or The Tramp. He is seriously calling Harris a tramp. Trump cheats on his wives and is a sexual predator. But to each their own.

Harris went to church in an Atlanta suburb Sunday, addressing the faithful and encouraging Black congregants to vote as part of a nationwide campaign push known as “souls to the polls.” Stevie Womder sung his rendition of happy birthday for the vice president.

The Democratic nominee for president attended services at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, where many women in the audience work pink to promote awareness of breast cancer. Harris plans a midday stop at Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro, joined by singer Stevie Wonder, before taping an interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton that will air later Sunday on MSNBC.

Walz, is scheduled to go to church in Saginaw, Michigan, and his wife, Gwen, will be at a service in Las Vegas.

The mobilization effort that launched Oct. 13 and is led by the National Advisory Board of Black Faith Leaders, which is sending representatives across battleground states as early voting begins in the Nov. 5 election.

Unbelievable. Stevie. Wonder. In. Clayton. County. Georgia. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾@theatlantavoice #gapol pic.twitter.com/pNHmmTPeMG

“My father used to say, a ‘voteless people is a powerless people’ and one of the most important steps we can take is that short step to the ballot box,” Martin Luther King III said Friday. “When Black voters are organized and engaged, we have the power to shift the trajectory of this nation.”

The schedule for Harris on her 60th birthday reflects her campaign’s push to treat every voting group like a swing state voter, trying to appeal to them all in a tightly contested election with early voting in progress. 

On Saturday, the vice president rallied supporters in Detroit with singer Lizzo before traveling to Atlanta to focus on abortion rights, highlighting the death of a Georgia mother amid the state’s restrictive abortion laws that took effect after the U.S. Supreme Court, with three justices nominated by Trump, overturned Roe v. Wade.

“Donald Trump still refuses to take accountability, to take any accountability, for the pain and the suffering he has caused,” Harris said.

Harris is a Baptist whose husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish. She has said she’s inspired by the work of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and influenced by the religious traditions of her mother’s native India as well as the Black Church. Harris sang in the choir as a child at Twenty Third Avenue Church of God in Oakland.

“Faith is a verb. It is something we show in action and in service,” she said on Instagram last week as she attended services at a church in Greenville, North Carolina.

“Souls to the polls” as an idea traces back to the Civil Rights Movement. The Rev. George Lee, a Black entrepreneur from Mississippi, was killed by white supremacists in 1955 after he helped nearly 100 Black residents register to vote in the town of Belzoni. The cemetery where Lee is buried has served as a polling place.

Black church congregations across the country have undertaken get-out-the-vote campaigns for years. In part to counteract voter suppression tactics that date back to the Jim Crow era, early voting in the Black community is stressed from pulpits nearly as much as it is by candidates.
