[SEGMENT 1-1] Harris campaign unraveling The Kamala Harris campaign is derailing and on multiple levels. First, Harris herself is suffering from what happened when she ran for president in 2020 and ultimately got one percent of the Democrat vote. Harris Fatigued Syndrome (HFS). It doesn't take long for HFS to set in. In fact, only ten minutes listening to Harris causes the listener to spontaneously develop the condition. I've talked about and written about the "sugar high" of dumping Biden. Many Democrats mistook this for exuberance for Harris. Believe whatever you want, but one thing is for sure: the party's over. According to this source, Major drama within the Kamala Harris campaign this morning. A source reveals that Harris screamed at and angrily berated her campaign manager Julie Chavez for over 30 minutes on the phone this morning. The source shares that Chavez advised Kamala not to attend the Al Smith dinner because it could send the wrong message and risk alienating LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters if she was seen cozying up to Catholics. Instead Chavez suggested a compromise of sending in the poorly-received video in lieu of an in-person appearance. Chavez was in tears during the phone call as Kamala shred her to pieces, called her an idiot, inept, horrible at your f-ing job, and told her that her stupid advice is going to be the reason she loses. Who says Harris doesn't know how to lead? If Chavez made the call on the Alfred E Smith Dinner, then she deserved a good tongue-lashing. [SEGMENT 1-2] Kamala Harris has no shot at winning Kamala Harris can't beat Trump. Already Democrats are cheating, so do your part and verify your vote. Democrats are so desperate we could make a sitcom out of there actions. And I want to tell you how I view things this year, I refuse to believe that the cabal can cheat Trump out of his rightful second term, and I WILL NOT ABIDE. I want these people to know that America WILL NOT STAND for another cheat. This time Black people will revolt, and Democrats have seen how Black people can be when we revolt over stupid stuff like George Floyd. Well it would be MUCH worse if they cheat Trump. The cabal has a real decision to make here. Because the WORLD is watching. Nobody on the PLANET believes Harris can beat Trump. [SEGMENT 1-3] Imagine being a Democrat right now 1 Imagine being a Democrat right now.

On today's episode of The JD Rucker Show, I'll be explaining why I don't buy into the notion that Trump has a 93% chance of winning the election. Do I believe he's going to get the most legal votes from United States citizens? Absolutely. But as Joseph Stalin allegedly said, "It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes."Also on today's show:60 Minutes makes a triple joke with their statement about the deceitful Kamala Harris interview edit and none of them were funny.Nikki Haley is reportedly talking about joining Team Trump. If she wants to help campaign then that's fine but if she's going to be part of the next administration then I'm out.The economy is bad. It's very bad. And fixing it isn't going to be swift and easy like it was for Trump and the Republicans in 2017.Rumors are circulating (sort of) that Kamala Harris made campaign manager Julie Chavez cry over skipping the Al Smith Dinner. Uncorroborated, but it passes the smell test.There are four (and possibly five) prominent Democrats who secretly want Kamala to lose.Elon Musk - I still don't trust him but he seems to be on the right side for this election so I'm withholding criticism for now. His latest comment on defending free speech is spot on.I'll cover these and more on today's episode of The JD Rucker Show at 11am Pacific. Also, on Monday and Tuesday ONLY, my daughter's charter school fundraiser is happening - https://jdrucker.com/popcorn . Please consider buying popcorn today or tomorrow. I can't say I know if it's any good since I haven't tried it but I know it's for a good cause!

Let's talk about anxiety, real talk about anxiety! Today we are joined by Julie Chavez, a librarian, mom of two and the author of the memoir Everyone But Myself.When you are a working mom, there is no time for debilitating anxiety. There's not.

Guest host Julie Chavez speaks to author Charlotte Maya about Sushi Tuesdays, the memoir about the loss of her husband to suicide, and her search for answers, acceptance, and family resilience as a young widow with two small children. Charlotte discusses the meaning behind Sushi Tuesdays–the day she dedicated to self-care after her husband's death and the name of the blog she started as she navigated the “mess of grief, mothering, childrearing, and widowing.” She also talks about her late husband Sam, the people who helped her get by, the role of writing in processing her grief, and ultimately, how important it is to speak openly about suicide to take away its stigma and help those who are suffering in silence.

The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3Xuki7cPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3JypqBBSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.

In today's Books with Hooks, Carly and CeCe discuss the importance of eliminating any confusion in your query; the distinction between having a 'perfect' query letter and one that does the job; how plausibility issues may or may not be a problem for different agents; the need to be intentional with dates you choose in your novel, rather than just convenient; the art of giving specifics when they are needed; and the need for active rather than passive stakes and inciting incidents.After which, Bianca chats with Julie Chavez about her memoir, Everyone But Myself. They discuss Julie's untraditional path to publication; understanding the role of an agent and why it's helpful to have one; working on the next manuscript to distract yourself from publishing the current one; the book coaching process; setting boundaries for yourself; building a community of writer friends and asking published authors for blurbs; creating intimacy with the reader; reading your work aloud; and structuring your memoir so that it reads like fiction.Find us on our socials:Twitter: @TSNOTYAW @BiancaM_author @carlywatters @ceciliaclyra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_shit_about_writing/ https://www.instagram.com/biancamarais_author/https://www.instagram.com/carlywatters/ https://www.instagram.com/cece_lyra_agent/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TSNOTYAWWebsites: www.theshitaboutwriting.com, www.biancamarais.com, www.carlywatters.com and www.cecilialyra.comBookshop.org affiliate page: https://bookshop.org/shop/theshitnoonetellsyouaboutwritingMore information about Julie can be found at https://www.juliewriteswords.com/.
