Post US election and since the Covid pandemic hit, we are all still searching for the why? Why has the world become such a tough and brutal place. If you’re empathetic in any way, you’re having trouble reconciling all of this with your belief that the Universe is mostly benevolent.
After November 5, 2024 particularly, the world has changed for many of us. There is significant grieving in the US, so much so that it feels palpable. We are still searching for a reason why a serial liar, self confessed predator of women and would be insurrectionist got picked by 49% of those Americans who turned up to vote. The other choice was an ethical, female politician offering $25,000 to Americans to help them build homes. Understandably, we are looking for a narrative to explain the travesty. Was the election stolen? Let the incoming president blow himself and those who voted for him up? The media is to blame? Russia interfered in the election and tech bro Elon Musk did too? Ignorant MAGA and its supporters know no better? The vote was suppressed? Our society is misogynistic, racist and bigoted?
What if I said there was a degree of truth in all of the above to explain the why. Russia did interfere with massive misinformation campaigns and bomb threats, Musk potentially violated Pennsylvania lottery laws when he offered $1m to eligible voters who registered GOP voters and the US Department of Justice warned him about ‘buying votes’. The voter suppression was a fact. Huge swathes of voters were purged off roles in North Carolina and Texas. The media hasn’t even begun to investigate the real extent of voter purging and something else too, missing ballots.
The real kicker…all the fraud theories under the sun do not disguise the obvious misogyny, racism and ignorance out there in certain sections of society and the clear drift towards fascism.

There is no doubt that Trump will fail this term for many reasons including that he is a ‘lame duck’ president – one who is elected for one term only with no possible chance of a second term, and expiring by a set date under law. His bent for retribution, using the military to round up illegal immigrants, his shocking and unqualified cabinet picks, the razor thin majorities, his undoubted weakening of the economy in the future with tariffs…all of that is true and so is the buyer’s remorse that goes with it. Already record numbers are flocking to google to search for ‘how can I change my vote’.
There is ample evidence from recent studies that X was used to distort and boost algorithms in favour of the incoming president. Facebook AI allowed an enduring number of militia pages to spring up as MAGA supporters readied for another round of Stop the Steal violence. Intimidation at polls, burning of ballet boxes, all added up.
The recount in Pennsylvania between incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey and MAGA would be Senator McCormick is a litmus test for the electoral system. If any fraud is present, it will be outed in that recount. We will know if the election interference by Musk and his satellites is mere conspiracy and election denial or if it holds credence.
And so confusion, grief, outrage and denial is all well founded in the US and around the world at this time and we should recognise that is the space we are coming from…as people search for their narratives to ease their pain, it is important to remember that all is not lost. We will see that in time when the fog clears.
In the meantime, we can resist any attempt to back away from our values. While we may be cynical for awhile, and reclusive too, in the end we know we must continue to stand up to fascism, to fight for voters’ rights and to create the kind of world we want to live in, and for generations to come.
Stop searching for a narrative. Be in the present moment and know that, ultimately, MAGA will implode and its leader will one day be a nightmare from which we awoke. Stay away from election analysis because it’s currently distorted. A week ago they were telling us MAGA had a mandate. Today they’ve gone silent because after votes were being finalised in places like California, it turned out MAGA’s lead was about 1%. Vice President Harris finished on 48% and the MAGA leader on 49%.
Over the next months and years, if the election recounts don’t uncover fraud, you can take heart that this is an era where Trump voters get that kick in the ass, and you get your vindication.
Take care and take heart.
18/19th November 2024
🙏❤️
You are one of the few voices of reason in this sad, sad situation. Thank you for your calm and informed delivery of encouragement.
Excellent. Thank you
It kind of feels like we are waiting for the “other” shoe to drop. Not sure what that will look or feel like. Will it wake up the masses? Will it strike at the heart of the US? Will it strike at 45? Musk? Like many, I turned off the “news” even before the election and have yet to turn it back on. It is still up to us to save our country, just not sure at this point who/what to go after first. Many thanks for your wisdom.
The only problem is we all get kicked in the ass. We must have an audit of the 2024 Election before Inauguration Day on 1/20/2025 🙏🇺🇸✌️
Before January 6, the day the election gets certified.
❤️❤️❤️🥰
Thank you Maryann, you are my constant. The world kinda sucks right now.
I feel really disheartened by all of this. It just seems no one is doing anything and Trump is just steam rolling over us. New clown picks every day for cabinet posts that no one will do anything about, not to mention, the absolute crazy policies that will ruin the country.
Good article!
Thank you soooo much for your wisdom and heart and keen mind on world politics.
Yes. MAGA will get a come upence, but so will the remainder of us. We needed a wakeup call that we’ve been apathetic, complacent, and that we do live in a racist, misogynistic society. We must accept our part in this. They could not have achieved what they did, had these conditions not been present.
Well Said. We must all pray so he never sets foot in the WH.
How can we prevent this insane lot from setting in the WH? It is getting worse by the minute..
Thank you for being a light in all that darkness. We have to live in the present and with good intentions to change things for the better.
Over 5 million Muslim voters voted for Trump or others instead of Kamala, due to the Administrations ties to Israel etc. Now they are angry and confused as to the outcome. Tough decisions.
Oh, I am so grateful for your “light” and strong vision. I am, indeed, in despair that this nation chose The Late Great Hannibal Lecter to be the president. How? Unbelievable. My hope lies in the recount now. And my comfort in your videos and now this news letter. Truly a Balm in Gilead. Warm Regards, s marshall
Hi Maryann,
Grieving indeed. Disbelief and anger mostly, but a mixture of disgust, especially the amount of cheating that is obvious. The MAGA picks for Trumps cabinet is absolutely beyond belief. But, I’m mostly sad that the Trump trials have literally disappeared and Jack Smith will likely have to hide in some way from Trump’s revenge. As usual the MAGA senate has overrun the Republican Senators and no one knows how cowardly they might turn out to be. Matt Gaetz has just pushed me over the top of disbelief and sorrow for this country. We’ll never be the same and we all know Trump will push his picks through a recess congress and He’ll run for a 3rd fixed term using the ‘ consecutive terms’ rule as he twists the constitution into knots.
He won’t need to run for a third term, once he’s in he’ll never leave. I just can’t see him taking the oath of office. Perhaps I’m still numb and refuse to accept such a dystopian outcome…this is not America.😿
I’m hoping the Democratic Senate does what has been done in the past, and that is to not be in recess to prevent Trump from pushing through his picks. They must do this to make his picks get Senate approval, because it is possible if Senate confirmation is required, many of his picks won’t get through.
Thank you, Maryann.
Thank you MaryAnne, I know the Lord gives everyone a choice and it will be OK in the end. I’m just not looking forward to the ride
Thanks, Mary Ann, so this beautiful and insightful letter. I agree and do suspect fraud will be revealed.
You are truly a treasure in our lives! I am delighted “over the moon” that I discovered you on youtube a few years ago. Oh my gosh, you are a “BEAUTIFUL” soul. Thank you Maryann! No coincidences…..
Thank you for that, I needed to hear your excellent message.
What we have to accept about Americans is that if the country was a banquet table 50% of people would toss heaping platters of tax credits, infrastructure, safety, health, education, plentiful housing, down payments for housing, Medicare, and Social Security. You know the list. They will push all these things off the table in return for a dog dish of guns, gold plated T-turds, and 🍊Jesus.
Thank you Marianne for your encouraging words and sharing the “light” with all of us. You truly are a remarkable woman!
1% should mean a recount . no? It is just to close .
Thank you so much for your insightful words of wisdom. As always you serve as a voice of calm and great solace for me. I’ve been following you since the start of the first Trump administration. Your accuracy over that period of time has been remarkable. I don’t believe that you were wrong about the outcome of this election either. I think this was the result of some very devious minds in high places from Russia to the Saudis to our own backyard. They learned from their mistakes last time and made the stealing of this election much broader and less easy to trace, since it was spread across so many dirty hands!
Please keep up the good work. You are a beacon of hope.
I’m truly struggling with all of this. I’m a gay mixed race white and Native American man. I read Project 2025 and I’m fully aware of what they have in store for the United States, and it ain’t pretty. They are not done with chipping away at women’s rights. They want to revoke their right to vote as well. We all know what they want to do with illegals (read anyone with brown skin) in this country. We can say good by to any of our safety net programs like social security and Medicaid. And as for members of the LGBTQ Community, you better wake up, because we’re next. All they have to do is have a SCOTUS ruling against Marriage Equality, and our marriages will be gone too!
To be truly frank, I’m truly frightened. I don’t want to die in a concentration camp. And I’m not being overly dramatic. This is now a very threat. I’ve always known that America is a deeply racist, misogynistic, ignorant, greedy place. I just never though it was this bad. I’m utterly heartbroken.
I’m too old and too poor to flee, besides I have pets I can’t leave behind. So, I’m stuck here. I cling to the hope that America will get through this. Despite the countless lives in Ukraine and Gaza that will be lost. And who knows how many here in the US. Maybe, this is the proverbial kick in the ass that America needs! Too bad it has to drag the rest of us along to summer school to learn that lesson as well.
Perhaps that should be a question for one of your readings.
We all know what the MAGA faithful are supposed to learn…
Well, what is it that we on the other side of the coin who can see through his deceptions and see the truth; what are we supposed to learn from this?
Thank you for this excellent synopsis. It is complicated. Your superb writing delivers the intensity and complexity with grace. With gratitude from Wisconsin
Perfectly summarized and artfully written. Thank you as always ❤️
MaryAnn, so greatly appreciated. Thanks!❤❤
Thanks Maryann, your astute reporting is so appreciated. 🇨🇦💕
I continue to be amazed at the level of delusional thinking of the MAGAs. One comment on a health post about an e-coli outbreak referred to “Our Lord and Savior Trump” who protected our health when he was president.
Wise thought. Thank you!🙏
You are the voice of sanity in the hellhole of American politics.
I will read this in full. Thank you Marianne for sharing this.
As to the question “Why”
All we need do is trace back to all world pandemics to see the reason.
We are living on a loop. And until this loop is severed we shall continue to live on a loop.
Thank you, MayAnn. Your words through your posts & videos help to bring me some sense of calm. I’m still having a bad time coping with all of this. It’s been so triggering as I’m a victim & survivor. I feel like half the country just slapped us all in the face & said we as victims & survivors don’t matter. Our crimes against us are insignificant when it comes to their uneducated belief that somehow they will save on eggs & gas, or that the border issues will be solved in mass deportation & camps. I am not nieve to not believe that some voted for misogyny, racism, & hate. I’ve had to grapple with letting those that I thought respected & loved me dearly go because of their statement with their votes. I’ve had to grapple with my dearest friend for decades, who is gay, voted for him after joining a “Christian church” which changed his thinking & he became extreme in his views, even while still demanding tolerance. My heart feels broken & I’m terrified to be who I am freely in my state of TX. I’m so grateful that I have a husband who cast his vote for me & my rights as well as those for all women & all communities. I’m grateful that i have a husband who respects me & appreciates me as a women above all else. I know that many women across the country do not have that & that fact is scary & heartbreaking.
Anyway, thank you for all that you do for us in your community & across the world. You truly are an angel & a beautiful shining light in this chaotic darkness. Thank you for giving many of us a place to go for support & resistance. I’m so grateful for you. I’ve been with your channel for over a year now & I knew there was a reason you randomly showed up in my feed one day. I’m grateful for that day.
Blessings & love to you, & to all in this community. 💜💜💜
I’ve never been more ashamed than to think of American military in the streets rounding up harmless dishwashers and farm workers. Trump degrades everything around him. He has no honor and everyone in his orbit is tainted by his actions.
Excellent
Thank you
Your messages are always good love to hear from you
Thank you
Thank you Maryann for this insightful commentary. It is very much appreciated.
Thank you Maryanne…you said everything I have been thinking, only more succinctly!
Thank you, Maryann, for your work. I only recently discovered your You Tube channel and look forward to your readings and the wisdom and hope you embody!! Sadly, I believe that the US was destined to get here as has every other super power that sold its soul to greed and corruption. Founded on the lie that really meant “all Christian white men were created equal” and built on the genocide of the indigenous peoples, the backs of slaves and non-white immigrants, we must acknowledge our sins and shed our arrogance before we can be truly free. Until we speak our truth and teach the truth, I cannot be proud to be an American.
I am always so impressed that you understand the American system of government better than many of her own citizens. “How can I change my vote?” Indeed!
I agree with your analysis and appreciate immensely that you are with us and doing the work you do. Blessings to you!
Great explanation and definitely food for thought
All will be revealed and uncovered. 45 is doing us a favour in routing out all the ways to deviously change the voters wishes. When Harris finally takes up the presidency, it will be her administration’s job to find a way to stop all these things from happening in the future – starting with the ridiculous electoral college. It’s also time to bring the constitution into the 21st century.
Please God, we need help and guidance to get through this misery. Please.
Thank you Maryanne. I am still in disbelief. I fear that I have given too much credit to my fellow Americans. In time I will again be able to put one foot in front of the other, but for now, my grief is overwhelming. How did I not see all of the hate and selfishness lying silently just below the surface? My eyes have been opened.
My friend had a registered Democratic voter told by a democrat at his door that his vote had been canceled. He went to his voting district and wasn’t given a reason his vote was tossed but was allowed to vote again. He was told that he could check in a week to see if if his vote “took.” The democrat at his door said an elderly lady down the street also had her vote canceled but was unable to go to the voting district to vote again (hence the absentee ballot.)
Thank you! Ce qui se passe actuellement est de la folie pure…Take care❤️😊🇨🇦
Thank Maryann
Someone I love is leaving the country with his “legal immigrant” wife. I feel awful she had to hear, “they are coming from the asylums, they are sending their prisoners, they are murderers, they are eating the pets.” I would leave, too.
Thank you! 🌺❤️🇨🇦
I’m in New Zealand, pretty devastated with election result, didn’t see it coming. Convicted felon, rapist, fraudster, only in America. Still fully can’t comprehend how over 70 million voted for a person who is morally bankrupt.
Thank you Maryanne, love your perspective on things💜
Thank you so much Maryann ❤️. You always seem to send a message when I need it most. Please don’t let the arrows of dark diminish you bright light. Sending love and hugs to you. ❤️🙏💐
Breathing Peace and Light into our World daily and praying for a timeline shift to a place of Peace. May Divine Light pierce every heart and soul, Enveloping our Mother Earth
In loving energies. Let our Light Bodies glow
Eliminating any and all shadows. BLESSINGS
and Live my dear soul friends.
Stolen election
Maryanne, I have been following you on YouTube for six months. I am so grateful to you for coming out and sharing your great wisdom,
your incredible clairvoyance and your journalistic abilities. Your voice is a blessing to all of us during these dark and challenges times.
Yes, the best advice is to not let the precious moments of our lives be stolen from us from the dark and ignorant. Sending you much love and gratitude.🤍🕊️Sara from Santa Fe
Arizonan here. I am mostly dealing with intense anger at anyone I know who voted for Trump. I told one long acquaintance that I could no longer engage with her. That she was responsible for ruining my country. I need to get beyond this and feel more positive but right now feel so angry.
Well written and direct; this is a world issue now. I agree the emotion is palpable; I told my spouse yesterday the same thing – I feel that hope is fading. It’s imperative to hold onto hope, and the light, as the alternative is a slippery slope into the abyss. It’s when the going is toughest that the collective must lean into the braces and stay the course of enlightenment; there are lessons here for us all; but it’s far from a lost cause. One step in front of the other. (Ok putting my soapbox away 😆).
Thank you for a sensible take on the present, and the folly that the news media permits in our national discourse.m
Thank you Maryann, great article! I am at peace and trust in the Universe. I keep saying the prayer you once mentioned. “I am the light, the light is within me, the light moves through me, the light surrounds me, the light protects me, I am the light.”
Beautifully written ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this. Ease of mind and soul.
Thank you so much Maryann. Your insight, wisdom and messages are truly a gift to us all.
Thank you Maryann. Always appreciate every video.
Thank you Maryanne for your insight. I believe as a collective, we have to fight the good fight and allow the anger, frustrations fall away as we cannot keep feeding into it
Maryann, this will be 45’s second term. His first was 2016-2020. Of course he wants to continue until 2032 I think he said at a rally.
Thank you. You are a blessing.
Thank you so much for opening our eyes to the truth. That is the only way forward and the first step to healing. You are a bright light in a world of darkness. I’ve been following you on YouTube for quite a few years and I’m not going to quit now. Keep going! Don’t give up!
I am going to revise my previous comment saying that I don’t think 45 will be unfortunately known as a lame duck President. I am with you on hoping he gets the visions I have seen in store for him. Love and light be with you
Thank you for this Maryann. There is such a dark cloud over us here in the US that feels absolutely crushing. I wonder how we will get through this, but want to believe that there will be justice and good will win out. Thank you for shining a light and giving us hope.
Well said MaryAnn l do love you channel and your adventures that you and your husband go on. The graveyard stones were quite interesting and the views were so wonderful while driving. Trump voters need a kick in the ass no doubt for being so stupid to believe anything that comes out of that orange hole on that face. I will be sorry for those who choose that dipstick! Love your articles and always excited to read them.
I just feel like there has been a death. The death of American as we knew it.
Brilliant – thank yo; this gives me comfort.
The election system is toast. This time around, it has been thoroughly hacked most probably by Artificial Intelligence. The ballot should have asked “Are you for Democracy or Fashism?”
Simply accepting the results and waiting for things to improve would be a deadly line of non-action.
Like it or not, President Biden will have to put an end to the intended path of the incoming administration.
You an amazing writer I can see why you were great in that career, as well the one you now invest so generously to give brillant insight to the people who greatly appreciate you.
I don’t know if you’d want it but I would love to bestow an honorary US citizenship on you! You care more about America than most Americans. Bless you 🙏
I care deeply about democracy and those that know, know what he had done to it.
Thank you Maryann
Always a pleasure to read the truth. Thank you for being you. Hold Strong.
God/dess Bless You!!! I think you are among one of the most levelheaded and uplifting commentators, spiritual or non-spiritual based, that I have followed all this year. Thank you for your writing this post. It’s a lot easier on my nerves. Right now my nerves are like the final and most intense spin cycle on a washing machine. I’m working to just be with it and be patient while allowing the spin cycle do its thing as it slowly works down to full stop.
Maryann thank you so much, you are a blessing to all of us un the United States.
I do not know how I can cope with him being in office again. He is so repulsive. I am 66 and I don’t have the fight in me anymore! I will donate as many $’s as I can with being retired, but I don’t want to see his face. I don’t watch the news, I am subscribed to some on YouTube such as the Bulwark, Meidas touch etc. I’m considering unsubscribing just so I don’t have to see his face. I know I probably sound childish, I just don’t know how to do this a second time. I’m praying he doesn’t hurt too many people, our social security or our Country or other countries. I’m devastated!
I feel as you do. Can’t even watch my favorite comedians or SNL because of it. I’m so disgusted. My heart hurts.
Well said Maryann. I agree with every word. It is so wonderful to have the luxury of our very own private reporter. I m boycotting all the big news channels. I cannot stand to look at or listen to the Yeti. He makes me physically sick. I know if it’s news coming from you it is real and true. Thank You ❤
Thank you from Atlanta, Ga💙💙💙
We need to stay strong in our beliefs. Truly thought we had the votes. I will try not to see that man. His voice is enough to make me feel nauseous.
I am nauseated, terrified, grieving and so angry. But all I can do right now is cry. God help us. Did you see Morning Joe? This must be how the good people in Germany felt nearly 100 years ago.
Maryann how nice to be able to talk to you. I too have stopped watching the news since the election and I watched it at least three times a day. We seem to think alike. You are so articulate. I enjoy listening to you. My daughter is friends with a tarot reader. A lot of things she told her did not happen and she said since the election the atmosphere is unsettled and that is why. I don’t understand these magas. He could murder someone and they would support him. Love to you
He already has with his ineptitude with the pandemic. How quickly people have forgotten. I’m gobsmacked!
Oh Maryann, you said it ! I was thinking the same…. Spinning around trying to make it all turn out differently. Wondering what I can do about it. Then wondering why I bother. It’s just so damn disappointing. When will humankind learn ?!? It’s hard to keep faith in humanity when our world is spiraling into chaos & people who have the ability to make a positive difference are squandering our chances to make it happen.
You are a voice of sanity in all of this. The only person I listen at this time. Thank you
Thank you. Love your wisdom. I just bought the little book “On Tyranny” 20 historical lesson on fighting fascism and authoritarianism. I also bought couple copies to share with others.
Well said! The shock is wearing off and the reality that family members and neighbors chose to vote for an evil petty hate filled convicted rapist, bent on destroying America, thinking he will improve their lives by saving them a couple bucks at the grocery store and allow them to flaunt their bigotry and racism makes me more determined to shut them out of my life. I will watch to see if they are ever intelligent enough to see what fools they are. I just keep wondering what the hell is wrong with them?
Thank you for your note, I don’t listen what the corporate media anymore because they lost my respect for them, the maga leader had a history with Russia going back years, it not surprising they helped him win
There will always be self serving, evil men in the world. What I am finding impossible to accept is that there are so many people, so filled with hate in America that they would follow this evil man. Where did all this hate come from?
Thank you, Maryann. You are a comforting breath pf calm amid the chaos. 💙💙💙
Thanks for caring about US politics. I am a light worker and empath. I have been despondent, feeling like I have PTSD. I feel like Orange guy is gum on my shoe! It seems every announcement of his dream team is a blow to our democracy. Any uplifting insight you share is helpful. Thank you!
They are getting what they asked for. I seen this happen during Nixon, the Bush’s etc. Half of these racist folks are clueless. I have heard tonight it was 230 thousand votes between the both of them. Calif is not done yet. We are always the last ones. I do believe there was fraud. No doubt in my mind. This Elon thing is scary however as we all know, what is in the dark will come to the light. These same folks who voted for him, will lose their homes. PUttie is having a great time humiliating him at every pillar and post. I heard that they want to gut all social programs. Then it is all Asian folks they are deporting. However that may not be easy as there is no money to do it for the government coffers for a mass deportation. He may find some resistance there. People will fight back needless to say. He will get his karma no doubt in my mind. On a positive note if war breaks out Biden may stay in. He can do that in an act of war. Now Biden being a scorpio means he will not be so nice. If he decides to leave. He is being way to quiet. One thing I do know is when Scorpio’s are quiet is when they are the most deadly. Just saying. It is not over yet. My guides all tell me that. Meanwhile I as a reader will keep on working in the UK and living my life. Watching your videos etc.
Always a delight to read your musings Maryann
Hopefully it is the catalysts for women to take back their power and give up passivity.
Thank You. I feel “not crazy” after all. I didn’t misread the “signs” of the intentions to mess with the election. I read quite a bit of “Project 2025” and was horrified by the blatantly authoritarian position . Most horrifying was that Donald Trump would be dictator for life!
Great read. Thank you Maryann✨️
Thank you
I’m not giving up! I don’t believe th Trump “won” this election! Something smells, and Trump literally Stinks! No….the election was tampered with!
This is so true. And very helpful! I’ve got to release this tension inside of me that I carry around, and JUST-LET-IT-GO! This is a good reminder for me to keep telling myself” Be Here Now” . Thank you!
Hello sweetheart! Gosh, it’s good to hear your real thoughts on this new site! By the way, this site is so cool! I can read your entire post in my email, and only have to actually log on if I want to leave a comment. This is such a small detail, but it makes keeping up with you so convenient.
I want you to know that you are the best reader on YouTube. It’s definitely because of your background in journalism…
My mom was a newspaper reporter in the San Francisco Bay Area from the early 60’s through the nineties. She was quite the little trailblazer in her day. She won many, many awards, and was nominated for the Pulitzer six times. Her name was Judy Java. She was a serious,vetted journalist. My sister just retired from journalism last year. Like you,we have printers ink running through our veins…
The point is this: At home my mom was a metaphysician who studied the Gnostic gospels. She and my Aunt read cards at the kitchen table after work at night. They invented their own system with regular playing cards!😀 My Aunt was able to cleanse people who had messed with ouija boards. She helped the local police find missing people. It was a truly glorious way to grow up for us kids! You remind me of both of those great ladies!💙
This too shall pass😇Well said Maryann! Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you Maryann I appreciate your explanation. I look forward to your next posting.
Keep well.
Spot on! Thank You!!
Thank you, Maryann. I look forward to more of your brilliant analysis and writing. Have been a YouTube subscriber of Revealing Light since the beginning and am thrilled to see the launch of this forum as well!
Hi Maryann. I love your frankness. I love you truth. I never thought I’d live in a world like this, let alone see my birthplace destroyed by one sick man. Years ago I read a trilogy of books on this kind of life. The first book was called ‘Left Behind’. They were also turned into films. I wondered now if those authors had insight from their guides. Maybe we had clues but turned a blind eye. Now the world is paying the biggest price. I can’t lie, my heart is broken. We will go through 4 years of hell if the world doesn’t blow up first. Though it is low at the moment, my strength comes from the hope you give me. Last night I set my intention and then let it go to the universe. I now live with the expectation that it will come to pass. The world will get ugly before it gets better, but with you Maryann, your followers, and the sane people we will get through this all. Thank you.
Handing over our government/democracy to Benedict Donald/Traitor Trumpty is like asking a first time mom to hand her new born over to a registered pedophile! Thank you for your love & light Maryann.
Thank you, Maryann! This is an excellent analysis. And we do need to stay in the moment. We need to protect our mental health.
Trump is going to be President whether we like it or not. It’s going to be an interesting ride. Trump can’t have another Term full stop. That is the light at the other end of the tunnel. Maybe this is the Zen stick that is needed to wake people up?
My only concern is the Palestinians at this stage. I have done quite a bit of research on this issue, the more I look into it the more destruction I see.
My father was a British Israelite. It is through him that I have an interest in this situation. Some commentators are saying that Israel won’t exist in a few years.
Blessings and thank you for what you are doing
Thank you. I am so sad. Praying that Trump will have a revelation from God. Not from himself.
Thank you Maryann! Excellent read.
Too bad the current media couldnt write as clear, truthful and investigative as this article.
Hoe sad, but change is a comin!
I no longer want to hear the phrase “no one is above the law”. I was gullible to ever believe that. Sad what the GOP has done to my country and my family.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Mary-Ann, I don’t know what I would do with out you!
Perfect article. Thank you for all you do for us in the US.
Thank you Maryann and thanks to all the thoughtful replies. It’s comforting to know that yes “there is still intelligent life” on the planet.
Thank you Mary Ann
Thank you Maryanne! Well said and you are correct, despite any fear we in the states feel— and it’s very real— there will be no sacrificing of moral and loving standards for humanity.
Good morning Maryann!🌞 There are three things that are keeping me grounded during these challenging times in the world and particularly here in the United States…Practicing Taoism and Stoicism and watching Revealing Light Tarot. The first two are my foundation and then discovering you, dear Maryann, during the pandemic. Your tarot readings are and have been informative and serve as a starting point for researching the facts of news on credible sources and also have lit the fire of learning Tarot. I am so very grateful to all you do. Thank you!🤗
Could you post your sources on why you believe the US economy was in a downturn the past 2 years. 4% unemployment, 2% inflation rate, and 16M jobs created in the past 4 years, with record stock surges.. seems contradictory. I’m interested.
You can Google any of the figures if you wish beyond listening to political spin. Any financial analyst worth their salt has been talking about it since 2022. It was predicted by John Hopkins scholars. Not a hard prediction in a post covid world. https://bipr.jhu.edu/BlogArticles/22-US-Economy-is-Headed-for-Recession.cfm
The Fed adjusting interest rates to cool the economy should tell you everything you need to know:
2022: In an attempt to combat rising inflation, the Fed rate increased seven times — from a range of 0.25% – 0.50% in March to 4.25% – 4.50% in December.
2023: The Fed increased rates four times and left them unchanged four times, ending the year at a 5.25% – 5.50% target range.
2024: The Fed continued to pause the hikes throughout the year before making cuts in both September and November, in response to cooling market conditions. The current target range is 4.50% – 4.75%.
And then you look at the rate of inflation in 2022 and 2023:
2022: The inflation rate was 6.5% at the end of the year
2023: The inflation rate was 6.4% in January, 6% in February, 5% in March, and 3.4% in December
2024: The inflation rate was 2.4% in September.
Factor in the delinquency rates on CREs and consumer loans.

For consumer loans we see a similar uptick:

Delinquency on auto loans also rising:
https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/rising-auto-loan-delinquencies-and-high-monthly-payments-20240926.html
And also from statistica credit card debt delinquency in line with the above:
“Delinquency’s rates for credit cards picked up in 2024 in the United States, but were not close to the rates seen in 2010 but the highest since 2012. This is according to a collection of one of the United States’ federal banks across all commercial banks. These figures on the share of credit card balances that are overdue developed significantly between 2021 and 2024: Delinquencies were at their lowest point in 2021 but increased to one of their highest points by 2024. This is reflected in the growing credit card debt in the United States, which reached an all-time high in 2023.”
And you get the picture. 2024 saw a cooling in inflation providing some progress for the Biden govt, yet by then debt and financial struggle at the household level was embedded. There is no doubt that people have been struggling to recover post Covid and they voted with their wallets in mind, not their best longer term interests.
I have just touched the surface of an analysis here and I am not going to write a paper on it for you. Dig around beyond government talking points and government sites and you will see the picture. You have agency and you can use it to inform yourself.
On a separate note the delinquencies you’re seeing mean the incoming govt if the election result sticks, will have a tough time with economy and everything he is promising tarriffs and tax cuts for the wealthy (increasing govt interest on borrowings and likely leading to govt expenditure cuts on programs that were helping everyday Americans) are only going to make things worse.
Also, love your blog and all you do. YouTube, Random Sage.. and now this. Perfect.
Thank you, Maryanne. We need your advice and and your knowledge of what is going on since in America it can be hard to get this information. I am glad you are part of the resistance. I am sending you love and blessings. Keep up the good work.
Amen to that!
Ty
Thank you so much. I appreciate everything that you have done for the last five years to help us. The good news is we are Leaving the third dimension where we have no power into the Fifth dimension which will be all about Love, Light and Joy. If I may ask you to consider adding information about the up coming shift.
I am one of those Americans, who is still in shock about the results of this election, but will stand up for my values!! Thanks Mary Ann for all that you do, you are a light for me, and I am so glad I found you !
You are so loved and appreciated for all you do. Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us. sending love and prayers to all, stay strong and safe, your Canadian sister at Heart.
The Law of Karma exists in our Universe;
Henceforth, when you live by the sword, you shall die by the sword. Whatever engergy (good or bad) that one puts out in the universe will come full circle.
I believe in a higher power, and my Heavenly Angels. We shall overcome this low energy because change is constant.
Have a blessed and peaceful day!

Maryann, your writing is so dynamic & infused with crystal clear glow. YOU ROCK!!!

Thank you – I so appreciate you sharing your gifts with me / us

Thank you so much Maryann. You give us solid guidance during this fraught time. Your messages are so important and I am so glad to have found and followed you on YouTube and other platforms. Sending many blessings your way. Love and light, Leslie
Thank you Maryann for giving us hope for a bright future for our children and grandchildren! 👼
I agree with your assessments, Maryann, but living in the US, I’m in Massachusetts, and I feel the need to do something. I hate letting things happen to me and yet for much of my life I have done just that. It’s a restless feeling now. This whole year has been off for me…Aries sun sign, Libra Moon and Scorpio rising. I have felt that things are coming to an end since January 10th. I don’t feel like I’m dying. I’m in good health finally. Lost over 100 pounds on purpose (plant based and loving it). I’m a photographer. Maybe that’s coming to an end? It’s my passion and I love it..I can’t let it go. There are all sorts of things that could happen but that isn’t helpful thinking. I have had a total lack of motivation this year. No direction. Looking back maybe it was about the election and normalcy coming to an end. Life as I know it coming to an end? I have decided though, there is little I can do but to change MY reaction to the chaos. I have to focus on ME and what I want to do…continue my photography and share my images. I shoot landscapes, beaches nature and I especially love the forests and trees. I see them as individuals with their own vibrations and I am drawn to some of them. Maybe that’s what we all need to do right now. Chase our passions and just focus on what really makes us happy. Do what raises your vibration and just because everyone is mean doesn’t mean you have to be as well. Be your version of what the world needs. BE THE LIGHT. What do you think??
Beautifully written! Thank you for your insight.
Maryann, I am so grateful for you. Be blessed!!
Ty …I fell the ill effect of the goings on in the US. We just have to stand tall.
Thank you Maryann. For decades, I’ve voted and educated and petitioned… with all people in mind, not just “our” side, and it feels like it was all a waste of time. Now it’s time for the “their” side to wake up and smell the corruption and find out the truth of who’s really been holding us back from having a better life. And we need to demand election truth as well. No more gaslighting. No more “our elections are secure” BS. Give us the unvarnished truth so we can damn well deal with it.
I am not watching any mainstream media. I am even worried about AP. Maybe Reuters? I am putting one foot in front of the other and taking care of myself. This has made me question every thing I have believed. It has really made me take off my rose-colored glasses. I still have faith. America (and the world) have not yet hit a spiritual bottom and that absolutely amazes me. How low do we as a nation have to go? I have faith in America’s people–but it has been shaken.
Thank you for making some sense out of this insanity. And for putting things in perspective while acknowledging some of us are taking all this pretty hard.
Appreciate you!
Thank you love your honest ❤️
Maryanne, I don’t think you missed a single point.
I have written the White House, direct lines to Biden and Harris and Walz, and all the progressive news outlets, Midas, Occupy Democrats, BTC, Rachel Maddow, Michael Moore, Vets for Votes. (sp?) and others. Asking on FB to have people write to them as well, asking for a recount of the presidential votes in just battleground states and if there is shenanigans found – to act. I think if 45 were to see himself being found out that might grab his heart. Its midnight here in California and every night I go off to sleep thinking of – what can I do?
I need to DO SOMETHING, like Michelle Obama offered. I’m a Solutions Gal, not a complainer.
I have appreciated your channel so much, and I am thrilled for all the support you get. I am an educator/teacher of conscious relationship practices for 35.5 years and we have a lot of educating to do.
Thank you so much
Really enjoy reading your blogs
Yasmin ❤
As always Mariann your words console, provides clarity, and helps all of us to forge on.♥️
Time for healing and reflection. We can’t forge ahead in the same way; we must be more thoughtful yet more persistent. You are a bright light in the world! Thank you for helping us through such a serious time.
And now, what about future elections in democratic countries?
How do they protect themselves from attacks from all sides?
Bless you, Maryanne!!!!
