The book I just finished reading is KAMALA'S WAY by Dan Morian who covered Harris for Bay Area major papers and got out the first book on Harris in 2020. I'm reading it now to get a sense of Kamala the Person and Professional Prosecutor and the account encourages my vote for her. The last couple chapters follow her Senate career, and if she could do as President what she tried to do as Senator but was blocked by Republicans in the Senate, it would be amazing! EVERYONE: read this now! spread info to your friends!
A revelatory biography of the first Black woman to stand for Vice President, charting how the daughter of two immigrants in segregated California became one of this country’s most effective power players.
There’s very little that’s conventional about Kamala Harris, and yet her personal story also represents the best of America. She grew up the eldest daughter of a single mother, a no-nonsense cancer researcher who emigrated from India at the age of nineteen in search of a better education. She and her husband, an accomplished economist from Jamaica, split up when Kamala was only five.
Ms. Cheney's book provides a strong first-hand account of Trump's Jan. 6 Insurrection, her strong case against Trump, a memoir of her life and lastly, and most interestingly, it provides an account of her as a heroic member of the Trump Resistance and the blow-back she received from the Trumpsters and his MAGA MOB that took over the Republican Party. "Thank you Liz"! YOU are a hero of Democracy and I forgive Daddy Dick for his sins!
INSTANT #1 BESTSELLER: A gripping first-hand account of the January 6th, 2021, insurrection from inside the halls of Congress, from origins to aftermath, as Donald Trump and his enablers betrayed the American people and the Constitution—by the House Republican leader who dared to stand up to it.
In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. Liz Cheney, one of…
I read the day it came out Bob Woodward's WAR which documents the Biden administration's wars against Putin and Russia in support of Ukraine and Biden's complex relation with Netanyahu on the Israel-Gaza war which also documents Harris' strong experience in foreign politics, with the book ending with Biden's resignation and Harris's ascension and the rest is history that we'll make so VOTE HARRIS and hope Woodward's next book can be an optimistic one!

Douglas Kellner, American Nightmare: Donald Trump, Media Spectacle, and Authoritarian Populism. Rotterdam, The Netherlands: Sense Publishers, 2016. Explaining the Donald Trump phenomenon is a challenge that will occupy critical theorists of U.S. politics for years to come. Firstly, Donald Trump won the Republican primary contest and is now again for the third time a contender in the U.S. Presidential Election because he is the master of media spectacle, which he has deployed to create resonant images of himself in his business career, in his effort to become a celebrity and reality-TV superstar, and now in his political campaigns. More disturbingly, Trump embodies Authoritarian Populism and has used racism, nationalism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, hate, division, and the disturbing underside of American politics to mobilize his supporters in his successful Republican primary campaign and in the hotly contested 2016 general election, his failed attempt to win the 2020 election against Joe Biden ("We love you Joe!), and now in his third election contest against Kamala Harris (GO KAMALA!). The Trump phenomenon is a teachable moment that helps us understand the changes and contour of U.S. politics in the contemporary moment and the role of broadcast media, new media and social networking, and the politics of the spectacle. Trump reveals the threat of authoritarian populism, a phenomenon that is now global in scope, and the dangers of the rise to power of an individual who is highly destructive, who represents the worst of the 1 percent billionaire business class who masquerades as a “voice of the forgotten man” as he advances a political agenda that largely benefits the rich and the military, and who is a clear and present danger to U.S. democracy and global peace. The book documents how Trump’s rise to global celebrity and now political power is bound up with his use of media spectacle and how his use of authoritarian populism has created a mass movement beyond his presidency and a danger to the traditions of U.S. democracy as well as economic security and world peace. Vote Harris-Walz in 2024 and be done with it! November 4, 2024 P.S. I saw it coming!
