Enough is Enough...

At times, we find our state and country in dangerous waters.  We must make sure
we have the right leadership...those who will work for us and not for special interests.


When do the Middle Class Montanans - and Americans -  say "enough is enough" and decide this is the year we head to the polls in November and kick out the "trouble makers" and elect only those who will work for Montana.

And that goes for a billionaire from New Jersey who has strange religious ideas and caters to those who want to turn over public land to the State and, subsequently,  sell it off to those who can afford to buy it for strictly personal use and fence out the rest of us.

We need to pay closer attention to what's happening in Montana politics!

The wrong people are "stacking the deck" with a governor and legislators of their own choosing...and that's going to spell disaster for the rest of us.

The New Jersey guy says he'll bring back jobs to Montana.  There are more people working today in Montana than in years and years. 

He says he'll create "good paying jobs."  But he doesn't say it'll be for Montana workers. 

He says he'll improve Montana's economy.  Montana's economy is better than it has been in years and years.

 So...just what is it he's going to do for Montana?   A better question might be "What is he going to do to Montana? 

Now is not the time to stay away from the ballot boxes in November.  Now is the time to start paying attention.  I know most Montanans shook their heads in disbelief at some of the strange bills that almost became laws in past sessions.  We all need to be more vigilant at what's happening in our Legislative Body.

Otherwise, next time, we'll be shaking our heads in horror at what we let them do.

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
