Maryann, 2024 would have been a much more difficult year to suffer through without your always-generous and insightful readings on USA politics. We, in the US so appreciate you. You never fail to stand in Truth and Light. Thank you for your unflagging dedication. wishing you and your loved ones a very happy, healthy and safe holiday. Peace and Love to you.

If you can keep showing up for democracy, so can I. Thank you for being that gift that keeps on giving. You really have kept me grounded in ways I didn't know I needed. Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you & your family. I am originally from Canada but been married in US for 34 years. I totally love listening to your readings. I watch every one. Glad I found you on UA-cam! Will be looking forward to your next one. Thanks again & I appreciate the work you put in for all of us!!

So sorry. Experienced Gingrich’s shutdown around Christmas in the 90s. He was my House Rep from Ga. Shutdowns are an expensive exercise to accomplish nothing but harassment of Americans, including Federal workers.
I don't think the gop has passed a "normal" budget in the 2 years they have had the House; only short-term continuing resolutions.... Corrupt and inept go together...
The fact he wants to pardon the Jan 6’ers proves that he was responsible re coup and that was his intent otherwise he would not care about any of them.
Thank you for your post-those of the Capitol Police were my fellow Federal Employees-so traumatized were some they committed suicide. I still cry when I reflect on that horrible day. God bless you and Maryann-we must always keep HOPE in our hearts. ❤😇🙏🏻 5:56

14th amendment states that Congress has to vote to REMOVE the insurrection charge for him to be eligible. So 2/3 of Congress would have to vote to remove the adjudication from him. Not that it matters - he has already proven he is above the law.
The 14th Amendment says that Congress may remove the bar from an otherwise disqualified person by a two-thirds vote in each house. I still cannot see him being sworn in! I only have seen Kamala Harris and Tim Walz taking the oath of office 💙💜💙💜💙💜

When one's ego dominates thoughts and actions, people sometimes don't see clearly. Thank you, Maryanne. You've created a loving community because you are LOVE and so talented.
I am not excusing people who throw away their opportunity to try to weigh in. I vote in all elections. However, many people live in situations like mine. I am in a firmly red state and my vote is always washed out by the state. After decades of voting my state never delivered the people I voted for. Not once. It gets discouraging. I also make myself broke trying to help my preferred candidates - from the president to secretaries of state in our states. Right now, I am mostly spending on the press with journalistic standards (because our 4th estate is under attack) and to the ACLU, who is the entity who will help provide legal push back to the potus elect and the oligarchs worst unconstitutional aims.
No, it’s not a reference to one person. It’s a short cut way of referring to dangerous criminal elements among illegal migrants bc the ones that graped and unalived our young women are “sick puppies” according to Trump. And he’s referencing here the fact that many people voted for him bc of the border issue and bc of these specific criminals.
As long as I know I have neighbors who voted in person and their votes have yet to show as counted, just as my sister's mail-in vote has yet to show as counted, we may never know how many registered voters did or did not show up, that's what makes this waking nightmare all the more horrific, I will never recognize a convicted felon or a republican as president
I go through the day hearing news about trump, musk, and their plans. My heart sinks listening to it all. I worry what my grandchildren's futures hold. I go to bed and search for your readings and i feel so much better. 💙 you have the most calming way about you. You are more appreciated than you know. God bless you and your loved ones, Maryann. Thank you.
I can't wait to hear about your foreign money scandal! 😊 A small scandal broke today. Congresswoman K Grunger has been missing for six months and Republicans nor major news outlets haven't uttered a word. She's been found in a home for Dementia patients. Her and her staff have continued to be paid! 😡 Happy Holidays to you and yours! ❤
Wow…I just looked it up..what a disgrace our government has become..of course her Republican coworkers had to know this but hid it, dementia does not show up overnight how many votes did she take while having dementia! And getting paid almost $200k year and excellent healthcare all paid by us, the citizens…enough is enough 🤬🤬
It says Texas but it concerns us all Credit-MSNBC Texas Kay Granger didn’t so much finish her term in Congress as she wandered off stage and forgot to come back. For six months, the 81-year-old representative for Texas’ 12th District-a woman who once commanded the House Appropriations Committee-has been missing from Washington, absent from votes, and utterly invisible to her two million constituents. The truth? Granger wasn’t in the Capitol or even the Lone Star State political scene. She was holed up in a luxury assisted living facility in Fort Worth, living her twilight days in a world of group exercise classes, concierge service, and, apparently, complete political disengagement. It’s the kind of bizarre twist you’d expect from a bad novel, but no, this is real life. Her office phones rang unanswered. Her Fort Worth headquarters was locked tighter than a liquor store on a Sunday in dry-county Texas. Meanwhile, votes on critical issues like the debt ceiling and disaster relief were passing by without so much as a ghost of representation from Granger. The story broke when a dogged local reporter, Carlos Turcios, pieced together the clues like a detective in a noir film where everyone lies, but the truth is somehow more ridiculous. His investigation led him to the Tradition-Clearfork, an upscale assisted living facility with memory care services and a price tag that would make most Texans weep. Two staff members confirmed her residency with the casual indifference of people used to seeing odd things happen in politics. “This is her home,” one said, as if that explained everything. But of course, it didn’t. It only raised more questions. How long had she been there? Why hadn’t anyone in her office said anything? And what in the name of God was her staff doing while their boss played bingo and presumably debated pudding flavors with the other residents? The outrage was swift. “The lack of representation for CD-12 is troubling, to say the least,” said Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French, clearly trying to hold back a Texas-sized fury. “We deserve better.” Meanwhile, Republican committeeman Rolando Garcia didn’t bother with diplomacy: “This is a sad and humiliating way to end her political career. Sad that nobody cared enough to ‘take away the keys’ before she reached this moment.” But this isn’t just a story about Granger losing her way; it’s a story about a Congress that has lost its grip entirely. Granger’s disappearance is symbolic of the geriatric dysfunction that now defines American politics. We’re being governed by people who should be enjoying early bird specials, not casting votes on legislation that affects millions. This isn’t to diminish Granger’s career. She was a trailblazer: Fort Worth’s first female mayor, Texas’ first Republican congresswoman, and a key figure in securing military funding for her district. She was, at one point, a powerhouse. But the final act of her career has been more farce than triumph-a congresswoman who ran for reelection in 2022 despite visible signs of cognitive decline, only to quietly vanish into a memory care facility while still on the taxpayer’s dime. Meanwhile, her staff has continued to collect their paychecks, her office has remained a ghost town, and her successor, Craig Goldman, has shown no urgency in stepping in early. Texas, it seems, has been left on political cruise control, and the car is dangerously close to veering off the road. Granger’s story is less a political scandal and more a cautionary tale about power, hubris, and the inability to let go. It’s the political equivalent of a rock band that refuses to retire, touring with replacement members and faded memories of glory, until one day they realize nobody’s buying tickets anymore. In the end, Granger’s disappearance isn’t just about one woman’s decline-it’s about a system that allows this to happen. It’s about a Congress so bloated with self-importance and inertia that it lets representatives stay in office long after they’ve stopped representing anyone. For Texas’ 12th District, the waiting game is almost over. Granger’s term ends in January, and her successor will finally take the stage. But for the rest of us, her story is a reminder that the system is long overdue for a shakeup. Because if we don’t start demanding better, we’ll keep getting more of the same-leaders who stay too long, do too little, and disappear when we need them most.
How will he be forced to pay if he is above the law. The SCOTUS will find some reason to postpone his debt and/or the billionaires will pay it for him.
I keep seeing folded pieces of paper or envelopes with male hands in blue suits after 45 threaten Liz Cheney. Then I saw Dick Cheney. I think Daddy Cheney is calling in markers to protect his daughter.
@@TheQuasar14 so you're wanting a shady warmonger to manipulate the deep state into doing his dirty work against a man who was rightfully voted in by the electoral and popular majority. You don't like democracy when it doesn't work in your favor, it seems.
What happens if his grift is SO UNLAWFUl....absolutely NOTHING! This is the way it is with an authoritarian government controlled by the oligarchs!!!!!!
Thank you so much for reading about our country, Canada! Happy Holidays to you and everyone on this channel! For 2025, let us spread LOVE and LIGHT around us and then all over this beautiful planet. ❤💛💙
Marianne, thank you for all your work.... I agree with another comment that you are a shining example of a global citizen and we are in this all together. ❤❤

This Canadian appreciates your reading. I suspect the scandal regarding PP involves his refusal to get security clearance and there are suggestions he is has directly benefitted from foreign interference. My ex husband went to Uni with PP. I do not trust him.
I seem to recall it was in the news a few weeks ago that PP has had a few/several phone calls with Putin and Modi. I wonder if that was the reason that PP was so adamant that the Indian Govt did not put out a hit on an Indian man in Canada when CSIS said it did. It did come out a week or so later that one of the top members of the Indian Government did actually do exactly that!
Merry Christmas and of course Happy New Year. You deserve peace, good health and gratitude from those of us following your channel. I know we all are grateful for sharing your gifts!
With all my heart, thank you. I can hardly stomach the thought of 4 years with that disgusting vile convicted felon. I have never ever been more ashamed to be an American. And if I could I would leave.
I might be ashamed of him,but he doesn't represent ALL of US!!! I am not going anywhere because some bag of crap is trying to sully Our name. He can take it on down the road. We will outlast this stain on our country.
I loved the reference to knitting and dropped stitches! I knit and am between projects at the moment. I read that many of the poor, during the French Revolution, women sat watching the guillotine and knitted as heads rolled. I’ll be picking up my knitting again soon! Thank you for the reading, and for all the wonderful support and clarity that you’ve provided in 2024 (and prior). Bless you and your family this holiday season. 🇨🇦
Here is Legal AF podcast on people cherry-picking from the Constitution on the 14th amendment. Perhaps listen as Popock is a distinguished legal mind and lawyer. ua-cam.com/video/FikUWfrDPNA/v-deo.htmlsi=97ixG7LHd2ya6czS
The SCOTUS already ruled only Congress can bar an insurrectionist from taking office which was why Pelosi tried to impeach him and failed unfortunately. theconversation.com/supreme-court-says-only-congress-can-bar-a-candidate-like-trump-from-the-presidency-for-insurrection-3-essential-reads-223426
And for those who wish to delve into the legalities in detail thedispatch.com/article/trump-not-constitutionally-barred-14th-amendment-fact-check/
To sum it up in plain language the SCOTUS relied on Section 5 of the 14th Amendment not Section 3 in the Colorado decision which you should read, as they covered whether he could be president or not. Section 5 says only Congress can bar an insurrectionist (obviously the remedy was impeachment which Nancy Pelosi’s team tried. Unfortunately McConnell didn’t convict). So both avenues were blocked and because SCOTUS is the final arbiter the decision has already been made. The only way forward would be for REPUBLICANS to grow a spine and support Democrats to get rid of him under the 14th Amendment Section 5 by finding he is an insurrectionist with two thirds of the legislatures which they’re unlikely to do. It is rotten to the core, but there it is. So no he does not legally enter the presidency as an insurrectionist according to SCOTUS interpretation of the 14th Amendment under Section 3, as SCOTUS used Section 5 instead.
Yep saw that. After the Supreme Courts support of trump in colorado, it was clear to me that the 14th lost its teeth.
@@revealinglight-tarotastrology Yes I know I listen to it over on indicted I didn't agree with it. As they kicked it back to Congress they had to make a law or ruling what good are they
Yes Popock and KFA are the powerhouse of Legal AF and they are fabulous at analyzing and explaining complicated and deep legal concepts around the never-ending legal issues with Conald.
Karen used to be Cy Vance's #2 at the nation's largest and likely most powerful DA's Office,
AKA the Manhattan ((NY) DA's office,
where she had 800 people under her,
including Jack Smith.
She should teach law school, if she ever wanted to make less money and spend more time with her family, as she is very good at explaining not only how Due Process and the Rule Of Law work,
but also saying it in the perfect order of applying to whatever Conald has done this week.
Michael Popok explains it well. Section 5 of the 14th clearly states that Congress shall enforce the 14th. So we would have to see Congress find due cause for some reason, and as Michael pointed out, that's unlikely given that the GOP has the majority, slim as it might become in the House.

It was more than 90 million that did not vote. About 50 % of Americans did not vote, which means that less then 25 % voted for Trump.
If true, that is outrageous. Or, were so many ballots uncounted and marked as not voting at all?
I am not excusing people who throw away their opportunity to try to weigh in. I vote in all elections. However, many people live in situations like mine. I am in a firmly red state and my vote is always washed out by the state. After decades of voting my state never delivered the people I voted for. Not once. It gets discouraging. I also make myself broke trying to help my preferred candidates - from the president to secretaries of state in our states. Right now, I am mostly spending on the press with journalistic standards (because our 4th estate is under attack) and to the ACLU, who is the entity who will help provide legal push back to the potus elect and the oligarchs worst unconstitutional aims.
Trump just thanked Hannibal Lector for helping him win the election.I'm assuming this is his Code name for Elon Musk.
No, it’s not a reference to one person. It’s a short cut way of referring to dangerous criminal elements among illegal migrants bc the ones that graped and unalived our young women are “sick puppies” according to Trump. And he’s referencing here the fact that many people voted for him bc of the border issue and bc of these specific criminals.
Code for Putin ?
When he’s approached semi-coherence on the matter, “Hannibal Lector” is his demonised stereotype of the immigrant as a figure of horror.
Saying that, Leon would probably eat pets if he thought it would get him high.
That or complete dilution
Finally….a voice grounded in Higher Truths & Awareness, Revealing Light in the world’s shadows 🪽🙌🤍💫🫶

A small scandal broke today. Congresswoman K Grunger has been missing for six months and Republicans nor major news outlets haven't uttered a word. She's been found in a home for Dementia patients.
Her and her staff have continued to be paid! 😡
Happy Holidays to you and yours! ❤
I guess she forgot she was a representative of the people… nice work if you can get it!
Wow…I just looked it up..what a disgrace our government has become..of course her Republican coworkers had to know this but hid it, dementia does not show up overnight how many votes did she take while having dementia! And getting paid almost $200k year and excellent healthcare all paid by us, the citizens…enough is enough 🤬🤬
It says Texas but it concerns us all

Texas
Kay Granger didn’t so much finish her term in Congress as she wandered off stage and forgot to come back. For six months, the 81-year-old representative for Texas’ 12th District-a woman who once commanded the House Appropriations Committee-has been missing from Washington, absent from votes, and utterly invisible to her two million constituents.
The truth? Granger wasn’t in the Capitol or even the Lone Star State political scene. She was holed up in a luxury assisted living facility in Fort Worth, living her twilight days in a world of group exercise classes, concierge service, and, apparently, complete political disengagement. It’s the kind of bizarre twist you’d expect from a bad novel, but no, this is real life.
Her office phones rang unanswered. Her Fort Worth headquarters was locked tighter than a liquor store on a Sunday in dry-county Texas. Meanwhile, votes on critical issues like the debt ceiling and disaster relief were passing by without so much as a ghost of representation from Granger.
The story broke when a dogged local reporter, Carlos Turcios, pieced together the clues like a detective in a noir film where everyone lies, but the truth is somehow more ridiculous. His investigation led him to the Tradition-Clearfork, an upscale assisted living facility with memory care services and a price tag that would make most Texans weep. Two staff members confirmed her residency with the casual indifference of people used to seeing odd things happen in politics. “This is her home,” one said, as if that explained everything.
But of course, it didn’t. It only raised more questions. How long had she been there? Why hadn’t anyone in her office said anything? And what in the name of God was her staff doing while their boss played bingo and presumably debated pudding flavors with the other residents?
The outrage was swift. “The lack of representation for CD-12 is troubling, to say the least,” said Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French, clearly trying to hold back a Texas-sized fury. “We deserve better.” Meanwhile, Republican committeeman Rolando Garcia didn’t bother with diplomacy: “This is a sad and humiliating way to end her political career. Sad that nobody cared enough to ‘take away the keys’ before she reached this moment.”
But this isn’t just a story about Granger losing her way; it’s a story about a Congress that has lost its grip entirely. Granger’s disappearance is symbolic of the geriatric dysfunction that now defines American politics. We’re being governed by people who should be enjoying early bird specials, not casting votes on legislation that affects millions.
This isn’t to diminish Granger’s career. She was a trailblazer: Fort Worth’s first female mayor, Texas’ first Republican congresswoman, and a key figure in securing military funding for her district. She was, at one point, a powerhouse. But the final act of her career has been more farce than triumph-a congresswoman who ran for reelection in 2022 despite visible signs of cognitive decline, only to quietly vanish into a memory care facility while still on the taxpayer’s dime.
Meanwhile, her staff has continued to collect their paychecks, her office has remained a ghost town, and her successor, Craig Goldman, has shown no urgency in stepping in early. Texas, it seems, has been left on political cruise control, and the car is dangerously close to veering off the road.
Granger’s story is less a political scandal and more a cautionary tale about power, hubris, and the inability to let go. It’s the political equivalent of a rock band that refuses to retire, touring with replacement members and faded memories of glory, until one day they realize nobody’s buying tickets anymore.
In the end, Granger’s disappearance isn’t just about one woman’s decline-it’s about a system that allows this to happen. It’s about a Congress so bloated with self-importance and inertia that it lets representatives stay in office long after they’ve stopped representing anyone.
For Texas’ 12th District, the waiting game is almost over. Granger’s term ends in January, and her successor will finally take the stage. But for the rest of us, her story is a reminder that the system is long overdue for a shakeup. Because if we don’t start demanding better, we’ll keep getting more of the same-leaders who stay too long, do too little, and disappear when we need them most.
Oh my goodness !!!!!😮
@ tax payers in Texas should demand their money back for the months she has been in the home…crazy..
So happy to see you tonight. Bless you, Maryann for keeping us informed and uplifted.
Thank you for helping us clarify things. Hearing you talk so calmly about the entire situation is like therapy to me. 💙
Thank you, Maryann for leading us through the darkness and into the light. Sending love and gratitude!!! 🙏✨
He has to also pay the state of New York the 400 + million he owes
Good luck on everyone get their due from him. That man does not share.
Trump's cheap. He's going to extort the Saudis or someone to pay it for him. Or, Leon-Elon.
@dynamicguy202 Not only does he not share, but he apparently doesn't pay his bills either! Cities he had rallies in are still owed!
How will he be forced to pay if he is above the law. The SCOTUS will find some reason to postpone his debt and/or the billionaires will pay it for him.
@H20lady2 There are people littered all the way across the state that he has never paid. New Yorkers do not like this man.
World citizenship, the rule of international morality ❤
I keep seeing folded pieces of paper or envelopes with male hands in blue suits after 45 threaten Liz Cheney. Then I saw Dick Cheney. I think Daddy Cheney is calling in markers to protect his daughter.
He has a LOT of 'favors' to call in.
@@maryhiggins6783 Yes he does especially with Haliburton and Saudi Arabia. 45 does not understand who he is up against.
I hope he calls in some former spooks to get Trump to back off his autocratic tendencies
@@TheQuasar14 so you're wanting a shady warmonger to manipulate the deep state into doing his dirty work against a man who was rightfully voted in by the electoral and popular majority. You don't like democracy when it doesn't work in your favor, it seems.
oh a show down between Dick Chaney and Trump would be quite entertaining.
Yes, we Voted. PLEASE LET BIDEN & KAMALA COME UP WITH SOMETHING PLEASE GOD!
Please, God/Source, please... Everyday I pray.
Wishing you and yours a peaceful, enjoyable Holiday. Thank you for staying grounded and guiding us through the rough waters here in America. ❤

Maryann, the Senate approved the cancer funding for kids - it was already a "stand alone" so it flew right in and over the finish line!!!
Thank you Mary Ann. I appreciate your intelligence, humor and loving demeanor. Greetings from Florida.

This Canadian appreciates your reading. I suspect the scandal regarding PP involves his refusal to get security clearance and there are suggestions he is has directly benefitted from foreign interference. My ex husband went to Uni with PP. I do not trust him.
I seem to recall it was in the news a few weeks ago that PP has had a few/several phone calls with Putin and Modi. I wonder if that was the reason that PP was so adamant that the Indian Govt did not put out a hit on an Indian man in Canada when CSIS said it did. It did come out a week or so later that one of the top members of the Indian Government did actually do exactly that!
Maryann, thank you. Thank you for your love to us here in the USA
We all look forward to seeing you😊
Thanks and blessings for her time kindness wisdom and gifts Marysnn❤

Happy Holidays, Maryann! You are a big boost for us stuck in this nightmare and I hope you get some much-needed rest and fun!
With all my heart, thank you. I can hardly stomach the thought of 4 years with that disgusting vile convicted felon. I have never ever been more ashamed to be an American. And if I could I would leave.
I might be ashamed of him,but he doesn't represent ALL of US!!! I am not going anywhere because some bag of crap is trying to sully Our name. He can take it on down the road. We will outlast this stain on our country.
Maryanne, when you smile, your face just lights up. It makes me smile as well.❤
Thanks to you and your guides, as always, Maryanne!!! 💙💙💙
We love you!!!
Have a lovely holiday.
You’ve been a great help to me this year.
Your far-seeing and deep insights are a balm for my sore soul these treacherous days.
You’re so bright! Thank you.
Happy holidays to you and everyone reading this message!
Love you so much Maryanne! Have a wonderful holiday!🥰🙏🕊️
I loved the reference to knitting and dropped stitches! I knit and am between projects at the moment. I read that many of the poor, during the French Revolution, women sat watching the guillotine and knitted as heads rolled. I’ll be picking up my knitting again soon! Thank you for the reading, and for all the wonderful support and clarity that you’ve provided in 2024 (and prior). Bless you and your family this holiday season. 🇨🇦
Thank you for being there for us. Happy Holidays to all!
Hi Maryann best part of my day when your youtube pops up. ❤
So glad to hear from you keep well and keep going
Happy Holidays and thank you very much for being there for us!!!
