The Supreme Court yesterday decided not to hear arguments on an abortion case about whether the Federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act overules Texas’ state abortion ban. This means in Texas, hospitals will continue to not be required to “provide emergency abortion care to save a woman’s life or stop organ failure or loss of fertility.”
Can you imagine if Trump were elected how much worse this could get?
Kamala Harris sat down with a podcast I’ve never heard of (surprise, suprise, I’m over 30), Call Her Daddy. It is the most popular podcast on Spotify with women. Harris knows what she’s doing. During the interview, in a now well played clip, Harris responds to a question about Sara Huckabee’s comment that Harris doesn’t know how to be humble because she doesn’t have kids (she does. Stepchildren). Harris’ response was:
"I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble. Two, a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life."
This response is fascinating. I have always thought being humble was a good quality, it can be. Here is the Oxford Dictionary definition: “having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. However in the context of women, it takes on a lot more meaning, and I believe that was what Harris meant. Submissive.
Harris also did an interview on 60 Minutes. Trump had agreed to do the same but then last minute pulled out of the interview because they were going to fact check him. They always fact check. He also said something about an interview with them in 2020, for which “ he is still waiting for an apology on” from 60 MInutes. Something about Hunter Biden’s laptop that he claims Leslie Stahl said, but she did not. Harris’ interview is good, it’s short and I recommend it.
Today, she was on The View, and has appearances on Howard Stern and Stephen Colbert. Love it! If she can keep doing this blitz, I think it would be an excellent idea (I know they want my opinion). I think she needs to really saturate this country with her message and her charm. In all corners.
Her numbers are up, too! Trying not to get too excited. So much can happen. Trump will try to blame the hurricanes (so frightening) on Kamala, of course. As he has blamed the Middle East Crisis on her, and so many other things.
Will he blame autumn on her, too? So far, the leaves in the country of the northeast are showing their colors beautifully.
No October surprise there.
