I have two podcasts/newsletters - Fixing America with J Mel and Short Stories by J Mel. I have been publishing an episode for each publication weekly each Tuesday. In the future, I will publish one podcast episode per week alternating between the two podcasts - an episode of Short Stories by J Mel will be published this Tuesday, June 9. An episode of Fixing America with J Mel will be published the following Tuesday. Comments are welcome.

The 2025 Presidential Transition Plan gives the roadmap this regime is using to turn our democracy into an autocracy or oligarchy. This episode reveals that roadmap with specific examples and historic references in support, as follows: create an enemy; fund an army; create chaos & fear; unlawfully seize authority; create an insurrection to quash; invoke martial law; imprison dissidents; centralize all control; use government to steal from vulnerable nations for personal gain; and institutionalize corruption.

This episode reviews the history of discrimination against black people, women, and immigrants to reveal that hard-fought progress made is being systemically taken away – a theft of our sovereignty.
