To dot the i’s of issues with a view of one more woman in the world more than capable of running a country with clarity and the smirk on an opponent’s face locked in perpetuity frozen in a tiny mirror in a corner cage to wonder what went wrong.

I was on the road to finish a post about Harris' debate. I titled I HEAR A SYMPHONY. Every morning I rise with a song in my head. Have so for years. That's another tale. After your post I'll hold off. You've captured every note. What a night! Oh what a night! Late Sept back in 63 what a very special time for me. I remember what a night....... I am also a lyric genius (or close to) We can change lyric to early Sept in 24 but it doesn't rhyme... She was the leader of the band. Fine conductor. HARRIS /WALZ

Gloria - Good work regarding some of today’s women. But I disagree with "Amy Coney Barrett, her legal acumen hard to beat." Barrett is a corrupt member of the CONVICTED FELON's MAGA/GQP/WCN Extremist Cult, as demonstrated by her consistent voting agreement with the other corrupt republicans on the extreme court, i.e., alito, thomas, roberts, kavanaugh, and gorsuch. They’re all trying to reverse decades of what most of them, including Barrett, stated at their confirmation hearings is "settled law".

She has been inching in the other direction. I’m playing the long game with her.

I hope you are correct, Gloria. It’s definitely a challenge for me, to see her in a positive light. 💜

You should be thrilled at last evening’s debate. If anyone belongs on that stage it’s Kamala Harris!

Gloria Horton-Young: Electing a woman-President should become routine.

What IS IT with the American voter?

The greatest statesman in my lifetime, a vivid memory to me, is Eleanor Roosevelt.

I find no peer to Eleanor Roosevelt.

Pakistan, Israel, India, the Philippines, even Thailand have had woman Presidents.

What does it say about America that we are 2024, still without a woman President, and where the race is close, within the margin of error, between a joyful visionary and humanitarian, a great litigator on the one hand and on the other a race-baiting Pig who calls out immigrants -- fascist-like -- for "poisoning our blood."

It should not even be close.

As far as an ode to Womanhood, I love that ANYTIME.

Any man is ENRICHED and HAPPY for all of the women in his life.

Mother Nature made Armando to love a woman -- as I have for 53-years, 51-years married to Nancy, who is my love, my Freedom, my very happiness. And then there is the great blessing of daughters and a granddaughter.

I LOVE your Ode to Womanhood!

How ANYONE, undecided could cast their vote for Trump after last night's debate is beyond me. And why can't Trump have someone oversee his makeup? He looks weird.
