The Town Hall Toughie via Video Feed...

 
 
I'm not the gavel banger,
nor the gavel banger's son.
   But I'll bang the big-boy's gavel,
      'cause it looks like lots of fun.
 
   That 'Lil Pocahontas'
      is messin' with our guy.
   So now she'll have to take her seat
      and tell us all bye-bye.
 
   See my Town Hall meeting;
      it's comin' to your town.
   (Except I'll be in Washington...hidin' underground)
 
   
  
   Senator Steve "Chicken Little" Daines was going to blow into town and put on a first-rate Town Hall Meeting for the yokels here in Montana.  We were going hear all kinds of good stuff about his military-style coup of Senator Elizabeth  Warren's speech on the U.S. Senate Floor.  She was in the process of reading a letter from the widow of Martin Luther King. Jr. regarding Senator Sessions' racist views from the past.  He was most successful at suppressing black voters from getting to the polls.  But, it  cost him an appointment to a Federal Judgeship, as well.
 
   Before "Pocahontas" Warren (what the GOP Senators like to call her, forgetting rule 19, of course) could finish her reading, another good ol' boy Senate Majority Leader McConnell rose and called her on the diabolical "rule 19"...which says one good ol' boy senator cannot shame another good ol' boy senator...even if he is being investigated as a nominee for Attorney General of the United States of America!
 
   Little Senator Stevie Daines, with gavel in hand and eyes focused sharply on good ol' boy Mitch for his every cue, was ready and eager to lower the hammer on her.  When good ol' boy Mitch nodded his head, Lil' Stevie grabbed that gavel, banged it on the table, and told her to sit down!
 
   Well, you can imagine the uproar around the country.  And, you can imagine it here in his home state, too.
 
  I don't have to explain much further that "Captain Courage" - for some reason - decided it would cost too much to travel to Montana and put on his Town Hall Meeting.  He's all about saving us money, you understand.
 
   So...next best - and safest - way to cover his butt and keep a couple thousand miles away would be to use a video feed for the Town Hall Meeting.  Hostile words and over-ripe tomatoes would be better served on a video screen than on the  Senator.
 
   Senator Steve may be a scaredy-cat, but he ain't stoopid.

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
